Divine Appraisal Discussion with God

Being a part of corporate culture can have a lot of impact on your daily life. Some of the common ones being using swipe card at home's entrance or at metros. But today I realised that office culture is more deeply rooted.
I had been to a temple. I have a belief that one can actually talk to the Almighty, just like talking to a friend. So I sat infront of God, closed my eyes and started my conversation. I organised my discussion (the way Appraisals are planned). Thanked Him for all the good things (start on positive note- Check). Then I mentioned the problems and issues in life (areas of improvement- Check). Then on the 'what ifs' in my life (Uncertainty and how they could have been handled- Check).
Thank 'God' , there was no scope for reverse feedback and asking for expectations!!
By now I had forgotten that I was in a temple and Praying to the Omnipresent God. Next I started setting targets on the solutions I needed. But how would God know what to do first? So I got to the next level, set priorities( wow!!). My eyes were still closed. I was about to set weightage for each task, when a ringing Bell got me back to reality.
Sudden realization dawned on what I was  doing. I was slightly embarrassed by the way my conversation turned into. I quickly said a Sorry to God and confessed that He knew things better.
I moved back with a weird smile on my face. I suddenly realized that I had something more to say. I got back and committed for a dakshina of 500 Rs and Coconut for the deity.( Incentives if expectations are met!!!)
On the way back home all I could think of was if others also had such Divine Appraisals or was it just me?

P.S- This write up is purely for fun. I have loads of faith in God, who is more than just a friend. Conversations will still happen :)

Strategic marketing - Lessons from a Bhelpuri wala

Most of the time while getting back home I join a friend of mine who drops me at a metro station. In my second or third visit itself I noticed a bhelpuri wala. This man is not like other local market tapri wala. He was clean and seemed well organized.  He had 4 plastic covers, each containing onion , tomato, coriander and green chillies (all uncut). Highlight were the fresh lemons. He had papers folded like cones. A box with masala and a cover with loads of mixture. Like any office goer returning home, I too was slightly hungry for some munching. What better than bhel. I liked the way he customized my bhel by checking for the quantity of chilly and lemon. I liked it so much that I got one more for my sis. Thus began the love for bhel. One day it so happened that my husband was about to pick me up and I was waiting just next to the same bhel guy. I was an observer that day. In a span of 20 mins this guy served around 8 customers.  Interesting! I began talking to him(shhh......

Getting into a Child's shoe

Yesterday I had been to my cousin's place who has a 2 years old daughter. It's interesting to see the way the kid has grown. Every day she has a new thing to learn. Now like every 'proud' parent, my cousin started to play the 'tell me who is this' game with the kid. The kid answered patiently and happily coz every answer was followed with applauds. An hour later, we had a new visitor. The neighborhood aunty. She re-started the 'tell me who is this' game. And the kid continued answering with a smile. This made me get into a kids shoe and think of what he/she might be thinking at each age. Let me start with age Zero to 1 year. My parents hug and kiss me, I absolutely love it. I feel wanted. But why do they not talk properly? 'Mela thota baby thoyega,ghummi dayega ' . What the hell!! I do understand the language. Anywayz next comes the uncle next door, I was happy the first time he came and got me a gift. But was followed by a 'lu lu lu lu...

Tension- Do you think kids don't have any?

I was travelling in metro when a kid caught my attention. She was discussing about the 'tensions' in her life. I got interested. The kid was about 13 years old. Nicely dressed with a sweet demeanor. I started Evesdropping. What all could be the tensions of a teenager. She had a concern that internet at their home was slow, which reduced the pace of her project. Her rival would be submitting her project in a week's time. Next was that almost all her friends owned smart phones (she termed it as hi-fi :)), where as her parents never allowed her to play with their phones for more than an hour in a day. Next was about her upcoming birthday party. She wished to have a grand party and wanted to wear a short skirt. There were few more things. But I loved the way her mother handled it. She was all ears for her daughter and the kid felt happy about being heard. She was opening up. The mother never said No for any of the demands, instead she discussed on whys and whats. I was take...
