By The Sea Side..

Sounds are sharper in my memory..
Of the sea frothing by my feet
Of the cool night air rustling through our entwined fingers...
The smell is fresh in my mind...
Of the sea and the salt
Of the faint fragrance of freshly cut grass
On our bare feet...
The touch is still warm on my skin..
Of the soft moonlit night
Of the linen shirt crumpled with our
Mindless laughter
The taste is fresh on my lips...
Of the tangy salt in the air
Of the white wine and the condensed moisture
On our flutes...
The light is still bright in my eyes...
Of the far away fishing boats
Of the sparkle of happiness shining
In our love...

Emotions at the workplace

I remember those early days when I started ‘working’.. it was voluntary work for a cultural organization primarily comprising of college and post graduate students monitored by professors. The one sermon that our Professors kept preaching to us to ensure that this organization actually worked … was “Be professional in whatever you do. Don’t bring emotions into the workplace” A sermon that I am sure many of us have lived our lives with… grown and prospered as ‘Professional’ people. Lately, in my role as Diversity Education Lead in one of the Leading IT organizations of the world, I started exploring the concepts of “Frame of Reference” the “Insider and Outsider” feelings.

Don’t bring emotions into the workplace” As an HR professional, I cannot but agree that organizations need to hire people simply on the basis of competence, capability and experience. That, we need to try and

The Zahir : The emotions that I experienced

I just completed reading the book by Paulo Coelho “The Zahir”. It is a fantastic story of an individual’s journey of discovering himself. This book has created two very powerful reactions in me. One of complete agreement to what the author has to say. The other of disagreement because it raises in me several unanswered questions that I have come to know as valid questions in these 31 years of my life. In this book the author explains how he had to loose his inhibitions, his past and all the boundaries set by society in order to find true love and discover himself. His theory is based on a constant, that the society and human history teaches us the norms of “good” or “bad” the “normal” or the “abnormal”. We use and follow rules blindly, The rules set by history of the civilization that we now call our own. His construct is based on his belief that in order to be able to enjoy life to the fullest and help others to enjoy life to the fullest, a human mind has to break away from the bound

Waiting

The rains have washed away The remnants of yesterday The water colored sky Reaches out to the dripping wet leaves With a promise of the Sun kissed happy times that lie ahead The smell of the wet earth Brings back memories of Unknown times that Makes the green heart nostalgic. The rain drenched birds Wait in anticipation To spread their wings and float away To lands of dreams and music. Creation drifts from one moment To another.. With memories of the past Ingrained in the future Waiting for me to join them…
