For HR Class



Congratulations!
 
Sarfaraz has already wished that (being CR is sort of advantage you see. Ask Sarfaraz and he will tell you a different story) And so must have the others who met you when the results were declared
 
Unfortunately, I was not amongst the others who wished you So I begin with congratulating all of you Congratulations again
 Don’t worry this is not a mail about congratulations, but what it definitely is, is a mail of celebration. 

A celebration of two years of successful journey, a celebration of two years of companionship, two years of friendship, two years of sharing, two years of learning, two years of knowledge, two years of overcoming pain and all the possible hurdles, two years of sacrifice, two years of preparations. In fact every single moment what life could have yearned for. 
 
As I look back at those two years, I suddenly realize one more year down the line and everything will be gone, sooner or later a distant memory. 
 
I know the moments will stay with us in our hearts… but then they will be a limited few
 
I know a few friends will stay us through life …………but they were destined to
 
I know I will take a MBA in HR home……& so will all of you
 
But is this all what we came here for?????
 
No I strongly believe and know you won’t disagree that we all came here for something more To give something more, to take something more
 
Or else why would have we as a class would share all that we shared with each other over the past two years?
 
Or contributed for the birthday celebrations?
 
Or made adjustments at times to accommodate each other?
 
Or taken initiative to compile / collate / scan notes for the class?
 
Or shared those job opportunities with the class?
 
Or taken the pain to go out of the way for the class or for a friend in the class?
 
In some way or other we have all worked towards making the class something more than just a class ……… through our presence or through our absence ……… directly or indirectly…… in small way or a big……the fact remains we have all contributed to making it something more than just a class
 
Today I appeal to you to join me in celebrating the essence of us being something more than a class ……… something more than students who studied together for three year and parted ways. 

 Let’s build a community where we as colleagues and professionals in the same field continue to share, learn, give, take, gain from each other the various perspectives, learning, experiences, knowledge, dimensions, avenues of our professional achievements for a better tomorrow for all of us and for years to come  

Hope we as a class will agree and keep contributing through the yahoo group in whatever way we can for betterment ourselves and betterment of others over the years to come With more than a year to go we can surely prepare ourselves to sustain the essence of something more
 
And last but not the least…… I know it’s bit too early……but we all can definitely plan a grand farewell party for ourselves when the year ends (I think Sarfaraz as a CR will definitely agree and we all will second it)
 
So let the coming year (s) be the best days of our lives
  
Warm regards,
 
AC

The Power We Yield - A Reflection on Meiyazhagan

I recently watched a Tamil movie that left me reflecting deeply on the intricate, often unseen threads of connection that bind us to others. Despite having watched it twice and appreciating its nuanced storytelling, I still struggle to pronounce the name of the mysterious relative, Meiyazhagan . The name may evade me, but the emotions it evokes resonate deeply. The story unfolds with Arul, a man who embarks on an emotional journey to reconnect with his roots. During his visit to Thanjavur, Arul is shown his childhood bicycle, now a cherished relic in the home of a relative he barely remembers. The bicycle, meticulously maintained, symbolizes resilience and love—it once served as a livelihood tool for the family and now stands as a "god" in their household. The relative, referred to as Nandhini’s husband, shows unwavering affection and generosity toward Arul, despite the latter's inability to recall his name or their shared history. This anonymity does not dimi...

Day 19 - The Power of Multidisciplinary Approach

In an era of specialization, many of the world's most successful people advocate for a broader, more holistic view—one that embraces a multidisciplinary approach to life. This approach involves combining knowledge and skills from various fields, leading to better problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. Think of a Renaissance person like Leonardo da Vinci, whose expertise spanned art, science, and engineering, shaping innovation for centuries. Today, the importance of a multidisciplinary mindset has become even more crucial in navigating the complexities of modern life. The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Approach David Epstein’s book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, provides compelling arguments for why those who explore a wide variety of interests often outperform their more specialized peers in the long run. Epstein highlights examples from sports, business, and science, showing that people who dip their toes into different fields are often...

The 70+ Hour Work Week Debate: An Intentional Grab for Attention or a Serious Commentary?

The recent debates surrounding the idea of a 70+ hour work week have sparked intense reactions, drawing both applause and criticism. While some view it as a badge of honor for high achievers, others see it as an outdated notion that glorifies burnout. But a deeper question emerges: is this debate merely a deliberate attempt to grab eyeballs and enjoy a fleeting hour of glory? In today’s media-driven world, controversial statements often gain disproportionate attention, flooding news feeds and capturing the public’s imagination. Leaders making such proclamations may find themselves in the limelight, relishing the buzz around their bold, albeit polarizing, remarks. But at what cost does this attention come? The Underlying Risks and Downsides The glorification of excessive work hours raises several pressing concerns: Burnout Culture : Does endorsing 70+ hour work weeks perpetuate a culture where exhaustion is equated with success? How does this impact mental health and well-be...
