The Uniqueness in Me

Being a proofreader of financial statements in a popular company I never expected to experience a day when I wont have any work to do at all. I never thought I would be able to draft a blogpost from office on a Thursday afternoon. I guess things come to you when you least expect them. Looking around I get a feeling that may be I’m not the only one. May be, most of the people are free today but are pretending to be busy so that no work is assigned to them. However, it could be only my feeling… you can never say. Whatever it is, its very strange and unusual. Since the day I joined I have not seen a day like this. I’m glad there is such a day. At least it gives me something to write about. So my new place of work is looking very different today. I heard a lot of people talking instead of just some typing chatter. I was so excited that I didn’t want to tell anyone that I’m having a free day. I thought I’ll jinx it if I talk about it. I didn’t even tell mom. But guess what? I was so e...

Its been a while since i wrote something here... Although there have been quiet a few significant changes in my life, i fail to find something worth writing about. I have realized one thing in this process- you have always wanted something in your life but when you finally get it, you dont want it anymore. I'm i the only one who is so indecisive about things? It would be nice to know that i'm not alone but if there are others like me, didnt anyone find a way to deal with this? Is everyone looking for an answer like i am? Or is there an answer that i'm yet to discover. Looks like i have lost the creative essence in me. Earlier thoughts would just flow when i decide to write something but now i'm struggling to put words together. My sister says its never too late to start. What should i write about? This June, it'll be an year since i have started working. Cant believe its been so long. I never imagined i'd come so far. Despite such an achievement i'm s...

When was the last time you helped someone? Has it been so long that you can't remember? Then you must watch this video. This will remind you that a simple gesture sometimes becomes the greatest act of kindness. All of us feel compelled to help someone we love. But how many of us are ready to go out of the way for a stranger? It is true that the present circumstances have forced us to doubt everyone around us, but we are slowly becoming inhuman in this process. What we are failing to realize is that a simple act of kindness can make a world of difference for someone. When I say help, it does not always have to be big. It can be as simple as donating your old cloths to someone in need or just buy a candy for a street kid. This may not be a big deal for you, but for the person who receives your help, it may mean the world. To do this, we need to stop being selfish and look beyond ourselves. Look around! you may see many waiting for some help with a smile. When you do see someone, ...

There's something very nice about KFC apart from its yummy chicken. It is a humanitarian touch to their business. The inclusion I was talking about in my previous posts, is being implemented at KFC. The popular food joint has expressed inclusion by employing people with hearing and speech impairment! When I went there with my sister, I realized this has always been the specialty of KFC and wondered how I always missed it. It made me very happy to see that the inclusion I longed to see had started to take place. When I saw people ordering their food without hesitation about the disability of the staff, while they took all the orders with a pleasant smile on their faces, I could see the barriers breaking. I couldn't resist a smile at this thought!    So when I was back home I decided to write about how I  love KFC for more than just its food. I took some help from Google to know more than what I saw at the restaurant. I found out that there are KFC outlets that are ma...

Hello beautiful people! I'm always looking for inspiration... Being someone who is addicted to the T.V, music and the internet, this is where I find most of it. Today too, I saw a video that taught me to feel good about myself - to feel beautiful! This video reinforced the fact that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. When you watch this you realize that Vatika not only advertises long and healthy hair but also teaches you to look beyond appearance...in yourself and in others. People have always had many questions about the scars on my hands. I never felt the need to hide them from the world. I was never ashamed of them. People around me never let me feel that way. This video just confirmed that I don't need to be. Watching this also reminded me of C.H. Cooley's Looking Glass Self Theory. In this Cooley explains human psychology. All individuals, irrespective of their age, view themselves based on how they think the world views them. In Cooley's words, I'm ...

Since I recently finished my exams, I couldn't think of anything else to write about. I wanted to find out who's idea it was to make people write exams. I mean.. I know that it is important to test your knowledge before you can move to the next level but exams today are not just that... Anyway, my point here is not to criticize the ways of testing students. I just want to find out how it all started and who started it. So, I asked the guy who has all the answers - Google! This was when I understood that it was the Chinese who introduced this system. This was their way of selecting people to work for the government, which later became a universal practice. It was called the Imperial Examination established by the Sui Dynasty in 605 AD. Impressed by this, England was the next country to adopt this system in 1806. But how and why did it come to India? I tried very hard to find an answer to this question but all I got was disappointment! Can you imagine? Google who is Mr Know...

We talk of development, modernity and metropolitan culture, but I guess this is limited only to the cloths and accessories of some men. A video that  put forward the ancient thought of a modern man, made me realize that there could be some men even today who hold on to conservative ideas of how a woman should be. Well, its time they change. If they are obstinate to remain like they are, they could be left alone. The video shows how a girl replies to the conservative suggestions of a guy who wishes to marry her. If you ask me, the idea of inferiority or equality of a woman depends more the kind of people around her and not the time period she lives in. I could speak more but I'm afraid I might kill the joke. So, enjoy the video but don't miss the message!
