My friend sent me Chanakya's Quotes. I immediately thoguht of responses to them. I wrote back and thought i would post the responses here... Neethi in Tamil means Judgement. So you will see, a Neethi for every Quote of Chanakya. "A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and Honest people are screwed first. - Chanakya My Neethi : To maintain a log of the consecutive lies you said is difficult. You need to be smarter than SMART can mean. "Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venemous **- Chanakya My Neethi : One day, your pretence comes out to the limelight and your true color will show up. "The biggest guru-mantra is: Never share your secrets with anybody. ! It will destroy you." - Chanakya My Neethi : If you don’t share your secrets, you will never know anyone else’s secret and you will never have opinions of people. Opinions of people do matter, coz you never know which opinion will spark an idea in you. A good idea c...

:) I asked this question to my friends yesterday during lunch at a restaurant. Here are the answers i got... I want to become a child again. Need not bother about finance, responsibilies, the right and the wrong. I want to become a child again, to lead a life with child-like qualities.... the money comes from the ATM machine and I dont have to think more about it.... I want to be a child who is grown up enough but not to the extent of taking responsibilities for anything other than examinations and tests at school.... Others i could think of.... I will ask for a long walk with God enjoying the scenic beauty around, in a beautiful country side...or forest.... I will ask for his/her autograph.... I will ask for his/her photograph.... No one has seen him/her till date.... Or I may not be able to speak at all... It will take sometime for me to recover from the pleasant suprise of seeing God.. May be the last point is what might ultimately happen.... :) :)

I know this topic seems too much of a strain on your mind.. and very different from my usual writing pieces. Over the last week, I happened to meet some one online and believe me.... Those 30 minutes of chat on Yahoo messenger with her changed my way of looking at things in life.. It is not what she said that made me think about forgiving people.. it is what I felt made me change my way of looking at things.... Since that day, I am relaxed much more than ever before when it comes to people and their attitudes.. coz, I have learnt to say " These things happen in life " and " It is okay to Forgive..." Now why do I say 'Forgive for Good' and not just 'FORGIVE'?? That is because, when you forgive, you not only learn that you are No God to Forgive people but also learn that your blood pressure and tension come to a quick control. This way you no longer brood about why some one did/said something unplesant to you. In most cases, the same person would be...

Ever wondered what it is like to be a life operator? On a late rainy morning in my office lobby, I was seated with a 'Shatabdi' of thoughts within my head. The Shatabdi express of thoughts was fuelled by the steaming hot tea in my hands. I was facing the door to one of the forever loaded lifts. As usual the door opened and people stormed out.. People who were seated with me in the lobby wriggled their way in. In the two minute load and unload interval, I caught a glimpse of the Lift Operator seated in the corner of the lift with his finger on the operator's panel. Many a time I had wondered what it would be like to operate the lift for 12 hours continuously. That was the shift timing, he once told me, when i asked. He comes in at 6:00 in the morning and works till 6:00 in the evening. I recalled this fact and could not help wondering aloud about his plight and profession. My friend's insights : If he is the type who likes to read and analyse people's minds he will k...

What are all the questions that pop up in your mind when you think of a Birthday party? I'll tell you what all popped up into mine... What outfit should I wear for the day? What time should I reach? Will I be able to make it to the party on time? Will many children be there? Will I get to eat cake? Will I manage to talk to people and move around in the crowd? Will I miss the important call that I have been expecting all day, just precisely when the kid is cutting the cake? Will the kid play with me? Will I get home before it gets really late? So many questions just for a Birthday party evening... I'll tell u, all these were not required at all... Went in with a bouquet to greet my hosts.. ( I've always felt that in a child's birthday party, it is the parents who have to be appreciated...for all that they are to the kid and to the guests...) Flowers are a way of saying,' I know you are just wonderful'.... :) I just enjoyed being myself, coz the kids had so much f...

Thanks to the movie crew of Lage Raho Munna Bhai.. :) I got very good review comments of this movie. So decided to watch the movie. The show was screened at Six Degrees, Satyam Complex, Chennai. It was a very different attempt to teach Ahimsa and other values to all of us. The story, screenplay, dialogues, and direction were all tightly bound to the idea of conveying heavy meaning in feather-light scripting. There was lots to take home from the Movie theatre, not sure if all of us did.... Some of the points that I can coin from the story after about a week's time are: 1. A very small act or favor of yours can make a big difference to some one else. 2. Respect Old age and the experience that comes along with it. 3. Remember that you will grow old too. 4. Remember everyone has a dream, wish, aim, and hope. 5. Never underestimate the power of the others. 6. Be sincere and fully focused on what you are doing to win. 7. Express anger in an assertive manner. 8. Understand that actions sp...

Customer Support is the key point of focus in all successful business ventures. Almost all top organizations and business groups give a thought to customer satisfaction. I could see this point was well taken in one of the best jewelry Shops in Chennai.I had stepped into this shop to get a farewell gift for a friend. I wanted to get a nice gift, a gift that she could make good use of. To me, the ground floor of the shop was more of a well-lit airport, the central bus stand, or railway station to say the least. I was hoping that the second floor which housed the gifts would have some space for me to stand, leave alone select the gift. The Supervisor was very friendly.( I am not sure of his designation actually... He wore a grey suit and looked different from the rest of the staff) . I thought that it was one of those 'Customer Satisfaction' moves that the Manager had chalked out. I elbowed my way to the second floor which had a lot of silver articles and gifts. After visiting ev...
