ಇಂದು ಪ್ಲಿನ್ಕ್ಯ್ಕೇಳಿದ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ "ನಿಮಗೆ ಸಧ್ಯ ಯಾವ ಒತ್ತಡವಿದೆ? " 

ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರ ಕರಿಕೆಳಗೆ, ನನ್ನ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರ ಸಮಯಕ್ಕೆ ಶರಣಾಗಬೇಕು, ಇಂದರಿಂದ  ಒಂದುಹೊದೆಥಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗಬೇಕ್ಕಾದ ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಮೂರು ಸಾರಿ ಹೋಗಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಇಂಟರ್ನೆತ್ತೋ ಅದು ಕನ್ನಮುಚಾಳೆ ಆಡುತಿದೆ, ಬ್ರಮರದ್ವಾನಿ ಸಂಚಾಲನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಇನ್ನು ಸ್ಕೂಟರ್ ಸ್ಟ್ರೈಕ್ ಮಾಡುತ್ಹಿದೆ, ಕಾರು ಓಡಿಸಲು ನನಗೆ ಲೈಸೆನ್ಸೆ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಬಹುಶಃ  ಇದೆ ಸಂಪರ್ಕಕ್ರಾಂತಿ ಇರಬೇಕು.

ಸುತ್ತ-ಮುತ್ತಲಿನ ತಾಯಿಯಂದಿರಂತೆ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗೊಣ ಗೊಣಸಲೂ ಇಲ್ಲ.ಯಾಕಂದರೆ, ರಾತ್ರಿ ಉರ್ಮಿಲೆಯಂತೆ ಮಲಗುವ ಮಕ್ಕಳು.ಎಲ್ಲಾದರೂ ಅದಲೆಂದು ಎದ್ದರೂ ಆ ಆಟಕ್ಕೆ ಅಪ್ಪನೇ ಆಗಬೇಕು.

ನನ್ನಗೆ ಕಿರುಕೋಳ ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಅಥಿತಿಯಂದರೆ ಶ್ರೀಮಾನ್ ಇಲಿರಾಯ. ತಿಂಡಿತಿನಿಸು ತಿಂದಿದ್ದರೆ ನಾನೇನು ಅನ್ನುತಿರಲ್ಲಿಲಾ ಆದರೆ,ನನ್ನ ತಪ್ಪರ್ವರೆ ದಬ್ಬಿಗಳೇ ಅದರ ಔತಣ ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಗಿಸಿದರೂ ಹುಡುಕಿ ತಿನ್ನುತ್ತಿತು, ಸಾಮನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಸುಮ್ಯವಾಗಿರುವ ನಾನಾ ಪತಿಮಹಾಷಯರನ್ನು ಹಿಂಸಾವಾದಿಗಳಾದರು.ಇಲಿ ಬೋನೆನ್ನೋದು ತಂದು ಇಲಿರಾಯನಿಂದ  ಮುಕ್ತಿ ಕೊಡಿಸಿದರು ಆದರೆ,ಇನ್ನುಮುಂದೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಪ್ಪರ್ವರೆ ಡಬ್ಬಿಗಳ ಪ್ರವೇಶವಿಲ್ಲ, ನಮ್ಮ ಇಲಿಗಳು ಜಾಪಣಿಯಾದರೂ ಮೇರ ದಿಲ್ ಹಾಯ್ ಹಿಂದುಸ್ತಾನಿ. 

Bag it

!my wallet I forgot it.


The bank card—it’s in my other purse,

Another time was my friend who upturned and bag for a wallet and the things like a disposable spoon, a cache of candy wrappers, and no wallet.

But how do we decide what to carry in our handbag. Remember handbag is a wee bit different from your wallet. To a woman her handbag is micro cosmos

If fengshui was the art of harnessing energy it should apply to the handbag too, after all that is where we put in our prosperity (read money)

Here’s to fengshui your handbag. (Courtesy masters academy) the fundamental rule of fengshui is when you bring something in, you throw something out this is about moving on in life.

• Size of the bag depends on how many things you need to carry.

• Cleaning the bag regularly say at least once a week is essential.

• Make of list of what you really require and toss the rest out.

• Organize and choose the right compartment for the right object basically depending on the utility.

For those who are constantly changing handbags it is essentially to choose one depending on where they are headed.

Some things are required everyday and the others change with the appointment

Handbag

• Wallet

o Some identification

o Cash up to Rs,100/-

o Credit/debit card

o License

o Grocery store card.

o Membership card

• Keys keep this minimum

o Office

o Home

o Vehicle

• Cell phone

o List emergency numbers

• Cosmetics(keep these in one pouch)

o Hand sanitizer

o Compact

o Comb

o Lipstick

o Purse perfume

• Business

o Notepad/organizer

o Pen

o Business cards.

• Prescription medication and emergency ones like

o Band-Aid

o Aspirin

o Sanitary towel/tampon.

• Sunglasses

• Miniature torch.

• Bottle of water.

• One folded cloth bag for emergency shopping

Those prone to acne need to carry

• Ponytail holder/headband

• Acne cleansing pads

Actually one needs to treat money with lot of respect; it needs to put away tidily in the wallet and not just stuffed any place. Having a coin pouch may be a very good practise though most wallets come with one.

My friend says carry joy and faith in your wallet she has a picture of her family and deity.

Another feels that one of those fold able umbrella’s are a must with her.

Choosing the right colour.

Black discretion and status

Red energises

Brown safety

Green-yellow attracts wealth

Pink-orange attracts romance.

Size

Large handbags make you look small

Small handbag’s make you look big. 

The best thing ever was what I learnt from fly lady. What she said was every Friday cleans up your handbag and what you don’t need just junk it.

team steam

In the past few years of working with theater groups I find that there is always a force who collects and drives the team, we can choose to call the person the leader or the team builder.

Ask any MBA student the qualities of a leader, they would just rattle—integrity, fairness, kindness, listening skills, having a vision the ability to motivate the ability to delegate. But one thing they do not say to empower and honor the empowerment.

Invariable the person is pretty aggressive, and focused delegates and demands that the delegation is honored.

The team leader has amazing capacity to plan and schedule, they also do it with a leash.

Organizing would also mean empowering and ensuring communication which is a large lacuna, and many a times  enquiry is equated to questioning (I must confess I’ve reacted so couple of times.) the modes of communications also vary someone could call up, some else would write, one needs to assess the situation on the urgency.

Some where along the way there is lack of empowerment and that I would translate as lack of faith or a certain amount of bigotry that there is only way to Rome.   

Even appreciation I noticed is very self-flattering, I have done it, and all of you have helped me is the underlying message, I have yet to come across a leader who would say we have done. Genuine appreciation goes a long way.

These are just my observation, thankfully I am neither a leader, nor a team worker I am a humble onlooker who has the luxury of having an opinion – which an expert is denied.

Narcissism

We are all great lovers of beauty we love seeing it everywhere appreciating it in others. When it comes to ourselves we somehow fail to do it, even if somebody does he/she is accused of narcissism.

We look at ourselves in the mirror with certain expectations and preconceived notions; we can only see the blemishes and short comings. Sometimes we our beauty in a shallow way noticing how well we conform to patterns, social norms but failing to se and accept the beauty within.

If we accept the beauty of who we are then we can free up so much of energy. we depend on appreciation and feed back is less, measuring to a social ideal it becomes less relevant.

The nrtya yoga helps us release this baggage within ourselves and summoning for the spirit that dwells within us. It is the heady combination of the divine spirit and the human body that convey beauty more accurate than anything else.

Surrounding ourselves with photographs of family that resemble us, with events captured in a unguarded picture, are always to put us in touch with ourselves. The best though is to look at ourselves in the mirror each morning, look into our eyes and see the beauty within, to hell with narcissism. 

the tortoise and the hare.

The tortoise and the hare.

We are all told this story as kids, how the hare lost out because he was over confident. The focus of the story is always the hare.

Just in case we do pause to give the tortoise his due its that oh! He was stead fast. It is always patronizing.

Thinking about it all the  tortoise I think deserves more credit:

·         Without the tortoise the hare would have no one to race.

·         He accepted the challenge knowing fully well that he would loose. He must have been ridiculed or counseled against committing hara-kiri

·         He gave his 100% again knowing well that he was doomed to loose.

I like to think that the Tortoise won, because he was willing to risk, he was willing to dedicate himself, and not because the Hare was over confident.
