A bitter-sweet take on life as we know it! From the streets of Ranchi to the hustle and bustle of metros. From the books that I read to the movies that I love. My take on society in general and twists n turns in specific. Ladies and Gentlemen, here's my two cents on coming-of-age...

From Death to Life: An interesting read
The unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time and what do you get at the end of it? You die. I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first; get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young. You get a gold watch when you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating…and you finish off as a glint in someone's eye!!

Phases....
I wanted nothing less than hope,
But, relishing despair,
I plunged into the nearest hell
And spent some weekends there.
I saw no answers on the walls,
No rebirth in the rain,
No saving grace in suffering,
No rapture born of pain.
What held me there? It must have been
The jackal, crazed and lean,
Who took my face between his paws
And, hungry, picked it clean.
Rain Rain Come Again!!
Newsflash: Mars=Venus!!

When You Lose A Boss!!
Fact 1: I was allowed a free hand in the Training Department, within 15 days of me coming to the property. Who would do that for a trainee??
Fact 2: I was given handovers that went beyond appointment letters and administrative issues, e.g. Performance Appraisals, Corporate Reports etc etc the list is endless.. Where in the world can we see that happening??
Fact 3: Whenever I made a mistake, instead of just pointing fingers, he would actually counsel, advise & tell me the corrective measures to be taken.
Fact 4: No matter what others thought of him, he knew what he was and he was good at it.
Fact 5: He became a Unit HR Head at the age of 30, when most people could only dream of reaching there when they are at least 40 years of age. That says something!!
Sir, if there is even the slightest chance of you reading this, its not been the same since you've told that you are leaving. And now that you are gone, I can't believe that the office is empty. I never expected something like this to happen to me, but I guess I miss my boss!!
Wish you all the luck in the future Sir, GodSpeed!!! :)
