Toota toota ek parinda

Common scenario in office, you fly in your thoughts and pulled back by subordinate or senior or most of the time your boss. This devil(though may be your best friend, but at that moment appears like devil only) shouts very loud and clear and you are pulled back to dharatal (ground), "environment will be down after 30 mins, pehley yeh kaam khatam karlo fir baat kartey hai". 

Yes, you are thinking very right; these people are the killers of creativity. Might be something like this has just crossed your mind "Khud toh kuch hat ke soch nahi saktey, wahi kitar pitar client ki haan mein haan milatey rahengey and expects the same from us". Give me a hi-5, if I was able to guess your mind. These monsters are present everywhere, you just need to be wary of them. 

Creativity is fluency of ideas, flexibility of ideas. Most of them even won’t understand what you tell them and may offend you on the face stating, "yeh kuch bhi bolta hai, pagla" mind you take it as a compliment. Inability of someone to understand you can never be considered as your inability to perform. 

Sometimes, I am very convinced by the thought that the laziness and creativity are inversely proportional. I think the lazy person in his hatred for doing work, tries to find out the quickest way to accomplish the task in a perfect way and come out with what is known as exceptional. 

So friends, take off and fly!!!

Versatile Ganpati

Ganpati or Ganesha, is the most versatile god of the modern times. Ganpati is present in so many styles, such diverse presentation that it appears that as if we have fonts for writing we have shapes for ‘gannu’. I am referring to ganpati as ‘gannu’ here, my personal customization for this versatile god after looking through so many forms. We rarely get to see the same sketch of ‘gannu’. Try observing through the wedding cards, mementos, small sculptures on desks or car dashboards you will never find the same one, but yes you will find the similar ones. Until date, I have not seen such diverse sketches for any deity and I will not be wrong in saying for any entity that exists. ‘Gannu’ gives artists the freedom to design new forms, apply ample of customization.

I have never seen anything more than ganpati on any desk. Every second desk that sports some showpiece is must to have a ‘gannu’. Does that mean ganpati is the most worshipped God? However, no extremist group supporting ganpati, though you get to hear lot of ‘Ram’ and ‘Rahim’, but the ‘gannu’ steals the show.

Might be such diverse forms helps each individual to relate, and can be one of the reasons of popularity of this celebrity. Round is such a beautiful shape with no corners. Corners usually hurt and this no corner or round deity never places anyone at corner and manages to be at the center. It is a belief that ganesha loves food. Food is an integral part of any celebration, and who would mind inviting someone who loves food at the event. This happy go lucky person leads a life, which a lot of us aspire to. A fat guy offended by the name of elephant, often considers a compliment when referred by the elephant head deity. The round belly with the elephant head is artist’s paradise to tweak and invent new forms and still present the original. This god is unique and beyond comparison, might be this is one of the reasons behind the custom of worshipping ganesh on the first place.

A basic research on internet reveals there are 108 names of ganesha. No surprise if the number is even thousand times attributed to the fact how each individual uniquely connects to ‘gannu’.

Gannu you are rock star!

Love

One can never fall in love, because the only option is to rise. Even if you look the inverse it looks like “EVOL”ve

What is my style?

Can I have my own proverbs or phrases? People having good understanding of English grammar rules or who are well read, sometime correct me by saying that this is not a correct phrase or not a right usage, when I ask where this is written or why is this wrong? Then I get to hear "I can’t explain", when they can’t explain might be they themselves don’t know about it. Also if you yourself don’t know it, how can you try to correct, irony!!!

If one has its own style, then ought to break rules and in doing so and will define new rules and styles. The fear of being poked by people for incorrect usage, which actually is not the case at times, keeps a lot away from developing their own style. 

-ve or +ve

Negative or Positive is how we perceive, even the negative has the potential to attract the positive

know you

We wander in search of knowledge. But what we need to know, we don't know. We need to learn only one thing, and that is ourselves. "You know yourself the world will know you"

Irony of B-School

while pursuing part time MBA from FMS...

I am missing those school days...

The school will open on Monday,
But no new bag to pack,
no set of new books on my rack, 
no new pencil box, 
still have to carry that old Tiffin box.
I am sure no fuss about new hues, rather will be tensed about Monday blues...
The school will open on Monday,
But no charm,
rather afraid of facing “I am leaving office early” sarcasm.
No curiosity of any new admission in the class
Only pain of missing old friends from the mass
Why is this school not so cool?
Dude, because it is not just school, its B-school
