A pair of pigeon,myself and my solitude

It happened 2 months after my arrival to Varanasi on 1 year posting, when one morning I got up by knocking of my door. I could not found any one at my door while I look for some one who was knocking my door.
The incident did go unnoticed whereas it was repeated the very next morning. It remained in my mind and I was a bit anxious about the thing which happened consequently for two days. It disappeared for two months before its recurrence after my arrival from 1st vacation (for 15 days).
It was a surprise for me to unfold the mystery of Door knocking in front of my eyes. A pair of pigeon was knocking my door by their beaks. I opened my kitchen door to catch the doers red handed.
3 months have passed before I learnt to stay all alone at HOME ALONE. Back home from office, for couple of months, I just struggled about how to spend time? Some times I keep calling home and at other occasion passed time by watching TV for hours followed by jogging for an hours at nearby UP College and so on.
Calling our friends/colleague at Delhi was of no use. They pretend to be too busy to talk as if before my transfer I was not used to be of Delhi line maintenance culture.
Things worsen further when I created an imaginary personality of mine and developed the habit of sharing my views with my own shadow. Keeps talking myself while cooking my dinner but realized soon of this disorder and recalled the pair of pigeon.
I developed a friendship with them while they were tapping at mirror (Hanged in the courtyard near bathroom)by their beaks, watching their image in it. I keep doing shaving and brushing my teeth and they will be busy on the mirror without any fear of mine being present over there. They started following my instructions and I too started enjoying the company of this duo.
While going out I used to spread few pieces of bread and rice in the courtyard, they will be busy chugging these. It has become habit, became my family member at Varanasi Engineer’s residence. I like them as they do not back bite, unlike us. They show the gesture of unconditional love, the one which we all lack. They do not harm rather help me come out of my depression.
I learnt a lot from them, an innocence looking pair, their unconditional love, and harmless attitude towards someone and so on. These all behaviours are instinct qualities of theirs.
I wonder why it is not possible to inculcate in HR people. They are professional in manpower management. They have invested so much time and money in their prestigious colleges to get the degree of graduation and master but have failed miserably to deliver and nurture the huge resources. No one care unless some casualty occurs. They prefer to hide all the circulars as a fear of implementation with objectives that staffs may not be benefited.
Wish the organisation must do something urgently to improve the morale of employees as we strive for on time performances. With low morale of employees nothing can be achieved in long term.
I spend all the festivals since last10 months ( Deepawali, Chath and Holi )with new friends of course a pair of pigeon.
Colour is life, colour is creative and it is inspiration to live .I coloured the shining bluish black pigeons, they enjoyed, shrugged their shoulders which alternately sprinkled a few drops on my white uniform as I was just about to leave for the airport.
This was all about my HOLI.
I love these pair of pigeon and pray to the god that good sense must prevail amongst the employee and employer so that employer must be instilled with the behaviour like our pigeons and take care their resource’s, develop a healthy relationship where no one need to go in depression, Individual must feel important for the organisation. Once this happen, turn around is not a difficult task.

Lost glory of Bihar

Recently i had an opportunity to visit Bihar,once most disturbed area,by road and that too in mid night.
Its amazing.I really admire the single soldier of Bihar,none other than,Sh Nitish Kumar,CM of Bihar,Who brought this change.No one can imagine before him.This was just one man vision.
Roads of Bihar is too good if one can compare it from previous regime of other CMs.I found people of Gram Panchayat doing patrolling on the road side in mid night.We travelled across without any fear.
People are happy and have a great hope with him.
I admire him and wish god give him more strength to bring Biharis a proud.Uptill now BIHARI was a slang and abuse to the people of this state.
Only since last few years we do not find negative propaganda in media.Every one is praising the development of Bihar.
Biahris everywhere in the country is now being seen as a potential competitor by their fellow neighbour.This change all due to the better development work is being done at state.
If the cooperation amongst the government staffs and the policies being implimented honestly,Days are not far when Bihar will regain its lost glory.

Employees Vs Employer






After the industrial revolution in later half of 1960,The relationship between empoyees and employer developed during those days are now turned by 180 degrees apart.It was a need for both of them to be togather at times those days,grew togather with hand in gloves but now they behave as if they are foe,they don't need the support of each other however they are the part and pacel of the same coin.Still they can't manage without the help of each other.
People who joined in late 1980s and are on verge of retirement,they still don't accept an younger person as their boss.Time has changed a lot from the initial period of industrial revolution.Young,energetic and qualified persons are managing the industry today but they do not get the support from experienced staffs as they refuse to accept them as their boss.
It was one such non synchronus experience was seen and felt, resulted in force fire drill adjacent to my work place.
Healthy relationship between employees and employers are key to success of an industry and hence nation.

Emotions,Love,affection and hate

The extent of feeling of emotion,love,affection and hate for someone are not necessarily same for him/her towards you.Do not get hurt if you do not get it in return.
Most people are unhappy only because of it.Better take it easy and must understand that each individual is different.Your feelings are purely yours not to be compared with your counterpart.
