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

You Are Not The Only One

You just stumbled upon a brilliant idea. You have to come to believe its a gem of an idea. You have a strong intuition its going to be game changer. You want to turn it into an enterprise. You are excited, since your long cherished entrepreneurial dream is now sure to see daylight. You start putting things in place in run up to your dream venture. You are fiercely protective of your idea and taking every precaution to not let it out. Somehow you believe, you are the only one ever to think about it and if you do share it with someone else, chances are - they may rob you of the idea. So you are not willing to let your guard down. And therefore are reluctant to share, discuss and deliberate the idea with anyone else. At times, even with some who might help you shape and execute the idea. The anxiety and the insecurity of loosing your baby (that too even before its been thoroughly conceived) holds you back. If this is what you have experienced and this what you still believe. Let m...

Day 9 - The Power of Understanding

The words “I understand” hold immense power. In the TV show Two and a Half Men , Charlie Harper often uses this phrase, sometimes with humorous intent. But beyond the humor, these two simple words—"I understand"—carry a depth and magic that is often overlooked. Understanding is the first step toward empathy. It reflects a willingness to connect with another person's experience, their emotions, and their perspective. Yet, to truly understand, we must pause and reflect on what we mean when we say it.  Do we really understand what the other person is going through?  Are we merely acknowledging their words, or are we trying to feel what they feel? True understanding isn’t about sympathy or offering solutions. It’s about resonance.  Do we truly feel the depth of someone’s anxiety or pain, or are we simply familiar with the emotion?  Does understanding require us to have lived through similar circumstances, or is it possible to grasp the weight of another’s experience even...

The Trap of Who vs. The Power of What

In any conversation, debate, or discussion, we often find ourselves fixated on who is speaking rather than on what is being said. The easiest response is to judge the messenger, dismissing their words based on our perception of them—their biases, history, or even our own prejudices. This reflexive focus on 'who' rather than 'what' creates barriers to understanding and blinds us to the essence of the message. The Judgmental Trap When we become obsessed with the speaker rather than their words, we risk falling into a judgmental trap. We start assessing their intent rather than engaging with their argument. We question their credibility, label them based on past interactions, and dismiss their perspective outright. In doing so, we fail to listen. Every speaker, no matter how well-intentioned or knowledgeable, is inherently flawed—just as every argument, no matter how sound, carries its own set of assumptions and imperfections. But if we allow our perception ...
