Interesting Ads-2

2) Airtel ad :
Nigahen nigahon se mila kar to dekho. Naye logo se rishta bana kar to dekho
Hasratien dil me dabane se kya haasil hoga. Apne hoth hila kar to dekho
Khamoshi se kab hoti hai khwahishein poori . Dil ki baat bata kar to dekho
Jo hai dil mei use kar do bayaan. Khud ko ek baar jata kar to dekho
Aasmaan simat jayega tumhare aaghosh mein. Chahat ki baahein phaila kar to dekho
Dil ki baat bata kar to dekho...

Does it apply to everyone?

If we were brought to trial for the crimes we have committed to ourselves, few would escape the gallows.


I am usually not into much of introspection, but this is something that made me rewind, observe and learn :)

A 3 hour pd session squeezed into a post


A group called Confluence visited our college to subject us to hours of  boredom.Their visit was spread over 4 days and one fateful day we became their victims.Some stuff was appreciable...and some were the same old stale things everybody keeps saying.So without talking much let me put down some excerpts...

  • No detail is too small & No effort is too big.
  • If it is to be it is up to me.So Take Charge.
  • Don't get stuck with content but with context.
  • If you can't make it good, make it look good.
They mentioned a book called 'Made in America' by Sam Walton.It describes two ways to know how well an instituition is working.The first one, the toilet test.If the toilet smells good, it indicates that the institution is working well.Second was, the employee feedback.Ask a few employees how they feel about the institution.If they answer in positive, the institution will go a long way.
The session seemed interesting in the first fifteen minutes.Then as they moved on to the theoretical details, it became terribly intolerable....details like-
Competency-Any characteristic that differentiates a superior worker from an average or poor worker.Types of competency-Technical(process-driven) and Behavioural or Managerial(people-driven).
Employability-Being useful and getting paid for it.The three stages of employability-Getting a job, Keeping a job, Excelling in a job.
Then they turned to one single word-Professionalism-and elaborated on it for the rest of it.
On the whole, i can only give them 5 on 10.
