The doves of peace circle overhead. Someone knocks at the door of opportunity. The vagaries of life confuse and befuddle people. A lonesome thought seeks company.
On the periphery of expectation, a long queue waits. The sun is like a giant orb of ice. When moments have time, we are busy and when we have time, moments are busy. The wall in front of me is more expressive today.
Sometimes abstractedness appeals to us while sometimes we become abstract. When nature is in its elements, then even the dry twigs sing and dance.
There is a miraculous power within us that we have forgotten about. The horizon is only a mirage. We set our own boundaries; some of us limit ourselves, some go beyond the limitless.
Nowhere is also somewhere but we focus only on the 'no' and not on the 'where'. Whichever way we look at the sky, it always appears vast. A strange bird pecks in my veranda. It is as colorful as the rainbow in my heart.
The other birds watch it in complete fascination and then in an unusual turn of events, they gather around it and drive it away.
The wall assumes a more animated expression.

Being Green: Making system
healthier
New
technology ensures increase in efficiency of the hotel, in terms of increased
revenue or guest satisfaction. Changes
being important part of every system, experienced housekeeping managers still
rely on the same archaic procedures and tools as when it was years ago. As the housekeeping department is responsible for
bringing in the largest share of profit to an accommodation operation, but this
fact is hardly acknowledged and consider a thankless job.
In the modern era,
where hotels are planning to implement cloud computing, robots and we talk
about innovative technology to make hospitality services faster and more user
friendly, and when it comes to housekeeping, each and every guest would like to
be attended by an employee and not robots who can listen to them and can
provide them with personalized services. 
In this competitive
scenario generating revenuel is very tough and satisfying guest is even
tougher. Because of increase in foreigners visit and increased competition
among hotels, guests and management have realized the importance of
housekeeping services. And so Housekeeping managers have started thinking of operations
as more scientific and mechanized. Efficiently managed Housekeeping departments
ensure the cleanliness, safeguarding and aesthetic entreat of the hotel.
There have been noteworthy innovations in housekeeping
over recent years, which are now gaining ground in hotels around the world.
Whereas, the best innovation found in the past few years is the ? Eco Hotels?
And Green hotels has become a new and a unique concept to fetch guest and side
by side maintaining its eco friendly value.
Eco hotel has made important environmental
improvements to its structure in order to minimize its impact on the environment. The basic definition of a green
hotel is an environmentally responsible lodging that follows the practices of green living. These hotels have to be certified
green by an independent third-party or by the state they are located in.
Traditionally, these hotels were mostly presented as Eco Lodges because of
their location, often in jungles, and their design inspired by the use
of traditional building methods applied by skilled local craftsmen in areas, such
as Costa Rica and Indonesia.
Today, eco hotels
also include properties in less "natural" locations that have
invested in improving their "green" credentials. For example The Ecotel, Uppal Hotel in Delhi, is based on
five areas of environmentalism, which are referred to as the ?cornerstones of
environmental responsibility? or simply as ?Globes?. These
Globes are Energy conservation, water conservation,Solid waste management, Employee
environmental education and environmental commitment.
Don't you think
Green technology has given Hotel many options to make their Suites and rooms
look different?
With the focus
progressively on green practices, there is much more to being ecologically
friendly than reusing sheets and towels. i.e. to save water, save energy and
reduce solid waste, Improving air and
water quality and Increasing the
efficient use of natural resources.
Eco practices are
one of the most spectacular emerging trends in hotel housekeeping. ?Going green?
is a trend of the day and environment sound policies increases the monetary
health of a property.
Green hotels follow strict green guidelines
to ensure that their guests are staying in a safe, non-toxic and
energy-efficient accommodation. Here are some basic characteristics of a green
hotel:
Housekeeping
uses non-toxic cleaning agents and laundry detergent
Non-smoking
environment
Renewable
energy sources like solar or wind energy
Bulk
organic soap and amenities instead of individual packages to reduce waste
Guest
room and hotel lobby recycling bins
Towel
and sheet re-use (guests can tell housekeeping to leave these slightly used
items to reduce water consumption)
Energy-efficient
lighting
On-site
transportation with green vehicles
Serve
organic and local-grown food
Non-disposable
dishes
Offers
a fresh-air exchange system
Grey-water
recycling, which is the reuse of kitchen, bath and laundry water for garden and
landscaping
Newspaper
recycling program
There is an
increasing awareness to use eco-friendly amenities, commodities and practices. Housekeepers
are developing and adopting new ways to conserve water and energy. According to
American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) hospitality industry spends $3.7
billion in a year on energy. AHLA estimates that reducing energy use by 10% industry would save $ 285 million.
Usage of energy
consuming appliances. i.e. compact fluorescent lamps which saves energy.
Ceiling motion sensors are used in meeting rooms,conference rooms and public
areas to reduce energy waste. Housekeepers are looking for products and equipment that help in conserving energy.
Bamboo is an environmentally sustainable material for uniforms, toweling and sheeting and is gaining popularity as its cost is coming down.
Nano technology used in surface coating makes it dirt and dust
resistant. The product works by using the nano particles that fill in
microscopic fissures in surfaces, creating a perfect seal that repels water,
grease, bacteria and dirt. It is used in
Korea and Japan for years, they are now showing up on other continents.
Microfibre as a cleaning system has been in use
in hospitals for years and is now slowly adopted into housekeeping departments
around the world. Not only it is environmentally friendly but is also cost
effective and also produces better cleaning results. It?s a cleaning cloth made
of polyester, nylon or polyamide strands that are many times finer than a human
hair. The fibres are wedge shaped so their edges van cut through and move soil off
an object. It is non abrasive and can be used without chemicals or with water.
The Professional Housekeeper?s Association of New South Wales
commissioned laboratory analysis of cleaning hygiene, comparing the
effectiveness of 5 methods of cleaning bathroom glasses. The tests showed that
all 5 methods; using dish washing liquid, microfibre, a sterilizing tablet, all
purpose cleaner and using a dishwasher were effective in removing bacteria and
mould present.
Timely and professional housekeeping management is at the epicenter of
the guest experience and therefore the heart of a successful hotel operation. Being
green means guests, staff and management are healthier. There is no doubt that
when odors, fumes, soot, droplets and residues of toxic, poisonous chemicals
are not in the air, on our food or on anything we touch, we are not absorbing
or breathing them, WE ARE HEALTHY.

Chittorgarh History
Chittorgarh has a rich history and gives you the feeling of being on 'holy' land where many a strong warrior has trod. This town, which was formerly the capital of Mewar, has a lot to see and do. Every structure here gives witness to its illustrious history. The towering fort and the eye-catching temples, the magnificent palaces and the colossal towers all have a storey to tell. They provide witness to a bygone era's honour, bravery, passion, devotion, and sacrifice.
Chittorgarh's history is enthralling, with tales of wars and brutal sieges. Tales of courage, bravery, and romance, as well as tales of death and destruction. Legends about Jauhar's queens and noble women giving their lives. These interesting stories have the potential to captivate a receptive audience. These stories have been immortalised in ballads and folk tunes over the years.
The renowned Rajput queen Padmini, also known as Rani Padmavati, is one such mythology that has been present for ages but has just recently captured the nation's attention. According to legend, the lovely queen resided in Chittorgarh during the 13th and 14th centuries.
A tour of the Chittorgarh Fort
You can't help but be in awe of the location once you've arrived. I felt chills as I stood there admiring the fort's sheer magnitude and majesty. It is a beautiful building that stands atop a 180-meter-high hill and spans over 692 acres, providing panoramic views of the surrounding area. It holds the distinction of being the country's biggest fort. That has to say something about its vastness and grandeur.
The Chittorgarh Fort is one of eight monuments in Rajasthan that have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. There is no clear proof as to who erected it, although historians believe it was constructed during the time of the Mauryan Empire in the 7th century.
The fort's splendor is not confined to its size and proportions. It is also known for its distinct and well-received architecture. There are 84 artificially created reservoirs surrounding the fort, and they are a work of brilliance ? their presence demonstrates the well-thought-out design in medieval times. The water bodies were built in such a way that they could contain enough water to supply a fleet of 50,000 soldiers for four years.
The fort is entered by seven gates, the primary one being Ram Pol. The gates were cleverly built to keep the adversary from entering or attacking the fort. What remains today are ruins, yet they create such a vivid image of a beautiful era. Not everything has been run down and destroyed; we were told that about 65 structures, mostly palaces, temples, towers, and cenotaphs, still exist. The most eye-catching buildings are the triumph towers.

The BODMAS Rule
Addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication
(?), division (?), and brackets ( ).
A
very easy and very important rule required in day today life.
BODMAS rule is used to remember the order of
operations to be followed while solving math?s equation. Its full form is B for
Brackets, O for Order of powers, D for Division, M for Multiplication, A
for Addition, and S for Subtraction. It means that the equation is to be solved,
from left to right in this order. First, brackets are solved, then powers or
roots, then division or multiplication and then at last subtraction or
addition. If any equation has any operations missing, then also the same order
is adopted. For example,
16/4+( 4*3), The expression has no minus, Then
the same rule of BODMAS will be followed, Firstly we will solve bracket, then
division and multiplication and at last addition.
Math is always about common sense and some
standard rules. So, BODMAS is one of those standard rules for simplifying equations
having several operators.
In mathematics, an equation has two basic components:
- Numbers.
- Operators.
Numbers are mathematical values used for
counting They can classified as natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational
numbers, real numbers, complex numbers, imaginary
numbers. 1 is always a UNIQUE number. Whereas an operator joins two
numbers and produces an expression or equation. In math, the
most common operators are Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication
(*), Division (/). If the BODMAS rule is not followed, the answer can vary.
One way: 6 * 3 + 2 = 6 * 5 = 30,
Another way: 6 * 3 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20.
So, in this equation, the second answer is
correct, as in this the BODMAS rule is followed. Firstly Multiplication is done
( 6* 3) and followed by addition.
Therefore, BODMAS has to be applied, when there is more than one operation in a
mathematical equation. There is a series of certain rules that need to be followed
while applying the BODMAS method. This gives a right arrangement to create
a single answer for every mathematical expression.
In case of a bracket,
open it, then add or subtract the numbers. a + (b + c)
= a + b + c, a + (b - c) = a + b - c
If there is a negative
sign just open the bracket, multiply the minus sign with each number
inside the bracket. a ? (b + c) ⇒ a ? b ? c
?If there is any number
outside the bracket with no sign, as shown in the example multiply the number
outside the bracket with each number inside the bracket.
Here, a(b + c) ⇒ ab + ac
One simple method to keep in mind for the
BODMAS rule, is to carry out these stepladder:
Reduce the bare bones
: Simplify brackets first
Perform division or
multiplication (go from left to right)
Perform addition or
subtraction (go from left to right)
Its time to solve some questions as in Maths- PRACTICE makes the man PERFECT.

Role of Bollywood in promoting Tourism
Divya Thakur
Asst. Professor
Banarsidas Chandiwala Institute of Hotel Management and
Catering Technology, New Delhi 110019
Indian Cinema has contributed
immensely to promote tourism in India and even abroad. Bollywood has
unintentionally and effortlessly portrayed some of the most popular tourist
destinations in India on the screens. Tourists are getting influenced with various
tourist destinations. The biggest film industry in the world has contributed to
the tourism industry by shooting at some of the finest and vivacious destinations
of India.
However the continuous growth in
travel and tourism industry, there are many trends where the industry is
flourishing at a fast rate. The tourism industry of the country has undergone
various changes over the time and Bollywood is one of the factors which are
also gaining popularity amongst commoners.
According to a recent survey,
Bollywood is estimated to enjoy viewership of 14million people on a daily
basis. This amazing fan base and an incredible mass appeal have significantly
influenced the Indian culture at large scale. It is not just restricted to the
culture but it has highly influenced the choices of Indian travelers as well.
In a country where people treat
their favorite Bollywood celebrities as Gods, they make it a point to visit the
places where their favorite Bollywood actor/ actress have shot for their
movies. Darjeeling became one of the most favored romantic destinations after
the release of Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore starer ?Aradhna? which
featured some of the stunning and alluring scenic beauty of the surroundings.
Flims Like ?Dor? and ?Dil Chahta
Hai? had set a surprising change in the tourism industry of Rajasthan and Goa.
The brilliant city theme based movies like Kahaani, Delhi-6 and the Kai Po Che
had flooded these cities with great number of tourists.
There are still few places which were not so popular
before we watched them on silver screen like Marble rocks in Jabalpur. The gorge along the Narmada River is a truly
spectacular sight. The splendid marble rocks give the place a surreal look. The
beautiful song ?Raat Ka Nasha? in the Shahrukh Khan starrer ?Aśoka?, was shot there.
Remember that gorgeous waterfall
from the film Chennai Express? Its name is Dudh sagar Waterfall and it is
located in the Goa state of India. Dudh Sagar Waterfall is one of the highest
water falls in India, and among the hundred highest waterfalls in the world. It
lies in the southern part of Goa at Mollem, towards the border with Karnataka
state. Dudh Sagar, literally means a Sea of Milk in the local Konkanni
language, and gets its name as it appears like an overflowing sea of milk. It
has a total height of 306 meters and a width of 30 meters.
Bollywood not just promoting the
tourist destinations but also it promotes few travel portals which may provide
sponsorship in movies like in ?Yeh Jawani hai Diwani?, where Ranbir and friends
set out on a group trek to Manali organized by none other than MakeMyTrip,
and the movie Jab Harry Met Sejal was also associated with Cox and King.
The young people who can afford holidays
are not watching television or reading newspapers. They are consuming content
online. When a celebrity is shown living an experience it becomes aspirational
and Instagram posts are way more personal. Social media offers reach and
engagement that a celebrity brings with his/her millions of followers which
cannot be matched by traditional media.
Tourism has been leveraging Bollywood
actor Ranveer Singh?s social media following. The actor who has seven million
followers on Facebook?s photo-sharing app Instagram and over eight million on
Facebook has been promoting the offbeat destinations and adventure activities
that the country offers through candid pictures and videos. Bollywood actors also endorse for famous travel portals like
Alia Bhatt and Ranvir singh endorse for Make My Trip, however Deepika Padukon
promotes Goibibo.com and Ranbir Kapoor is the brand ambassador of Yatra.com
Pvt. Ltd.
Hence, Bollywood movies and
celebrities play an important role in promoting tourism of India. There are few
celebrities also promotes state tourism in India, like Amitabh Bacchan is the
Brand Ambassador of Gujarat Tourism (Khushbhoo Gujarat Ki), Shah Rukh Khan is the Brand Ambassador of West
Bengal Tourism(, Kajol and Ajay Devgan promotes Madhya Pradesh Tourism and so
on.

De
motivating factors while choosing right career option for hotel management
graduates.
Taking decision of their own career is the most
important thing in a student's life. It is found that even graduates from recognized educational
institutions in India face major gaps, resulting in them being unprepared for
their careers.
It becomes difficult for a
hotel management student to choose one department and stick to it till he/she
retires. While doing a survey of hotel management students, a very surprising
finding is noticed that students face peer pressure, teachers, mentor, parents
pressure, parents who are under peer pressure (they are more worried about the
neighbor's child). Most of the students do not get the guidance they need from home
because their parents did not get similar opportunities. Rather than putting
our ambitions on their shoulders, parents must always understand that every
child is born with his/her own talent and interest.
However, Students
self-efficacy and occupational aspiration should be the most important factor to
influence the students career decision,
followed by tradition and cultural value, career guidance, support from
parents and external consultation.
When a student join hotel management, in most of
cases student and their parents have least idea about the course. Students
actually understand the industry when they undergo training of 6 weeks in second
year of their curriculum. This is the time when a student realizes if hotel
management is fit for them or not. But at the same time it?s too late for them
to quit too. Then in the last year, they face many de motivational factors in
choosing the right career option for themselves.
Hospitality
is very different from other Industries as far as its education is concerned as
it has training in its curriculum. An internship is a form of experimental
learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with
practical application. It helps students to gain valuable applied experience
and make connections in professional fields and give them opportunity to
understand and live a Hotel life, and also to choose an area of Interest for
them. At the same time training does not show the true picture to the students
as too much work assigned to trainees, makes the students de motivated . Hoteliers
must understand that students as trainees are not substitute labors and must
provide a platform to learn skills on supervision of a staff.
When
students join a hotel management Institute, majorly they want to choose Food
production as their career option but it changes when they join the Industry.
There has been seen many cases, where students change and make up their mind
during the training in Hotels and choose a relevant area for them, and of
course develop a passion toward it. It has been noted that majority of students
keep Front office, Sales and Marketing and Food and Beverage Service as their
right Choice due to Salary, lively environment and growth.
It is
very surprising to know, that there can be few people in the life of a student
who can be de-motivating ie. Parents, Academicians and Role Models. This is
possible in the cases where parents have a very little idea about Hospitality, and
so it is very important to educate them as soon as a student starts his/her
career in hospitality. It is very
important for academicians and Hoteliers to understand that some ones objective
should not be changed rather should be helped in achieving the same. If a
student wants to choose Front Office as their career option, he should be
trained rather than de motivating him/her to choose any other department.
Interviews are considered to be the most
de-motivating in choosing the right career option as the feeling of rejection
makes them think about biasness of the basis of gender or looks. There have
been many cases where a front office student is offered a job in housekeeping
department, and a food production person is offered job in sales and marketing
or front office. Here the passion of a student fails.
It has
been find out that perception of female students is altogether different from
male students. On an average girls want a future where there is work Life
Balance, keeping salary as not the major point,
they need a secured and stable job with general timings, they would like
to grow in the same field for long. At the same point and time they will never
change their area of interest (passion). Whereas boys generally keep a
secondary area of interest and as they want to grow with handsome salary. They
want to see themselves at a good level in the early stages of their career and
to be an Entrepreneur later. Each and every student has to be dealt in a
different way, keeping in priority their own wishes, their demand from career
and passion.
There is no place where a child cannot be
motivated, changed, learnt. The only change, we must do is to understand them
and work on them.

Choosing right career option for hotel management students
Divya Thakur
Asst Professor
Banarsidas Chandiwala Institute of Hotel Management.
Everyone has a dream of what he/she
wants to be, in the early stages of their life. We might have heard from a lot of kids that
they want to be a doctor as their father is from the same profession. But as
they grow up, they realize the changes in their interest and diversity in
choosing their career path.
To choose the best option for them, one has to face
a great deal of pressure from families, colleagues, education
system and culture. It seems very difficult that one has to pick one career
path and stick with it until he/she retire. They need a right advice to find a
job that does it all: engages the talents, makes plenty of money, opportunity
to grow and maintaining work life balance.
In a country, like
India, where parents celebrate their child's achievements, why do over 60 per
cent of our graduates feel anxious about their future?
In a research conducted on Harvard Business School (HBS), It is found
that even graduates from recognized educational institutions in India face
major gaps, resulting in them being unprepared for their careers.
In
most of the professions, students are not exposed to
internships through-out their college experience and so they are not able
experiment, gain mentorship, and learn practical skills on the job. This makes
the students first job the first time they have ever worked. Whereas in
hospitality, students undergo six months of industrial training and sometimes
vocational training, which helps them to choose their area of interest. They
understand the work pressure, learn professionalism, choose the best department
for them and they can fit themselves to be the master of one stream.
When students join a hotel management Institute,
majorly they want to opt Food production as their career option but it changes
when they join the Industry. There has been seen many cases, where students
have changed and make up their mind during the training in Hotels and choose a
relevant area for them, and of course develop a passion toward it. And also,
majority of students keep Front office, Sales and Marketing and Food and
Beverage Service as their right Choice due to Salary, lively environment and
growth.
Whereas it has also been found that students treat
training and interviews conducted by hotels as the most demotivational factor,
in finding the right career option. The training should be planned in such a
way that students are exposed to all the departments rather than putting them
as per the department?s requirement. Students must be allowed to stand at
reception, take orders in the restaurant, make rooms and work in the kitchen,
so that they can find out the right area of interest.
The gap leads students
unplanned about their future and asked to join another department in the
interviews. Hotels and Hospitality institutes must train the students like
Hoteliers and must provide a platform to learn skills on supervision of a
staff. We must develop the personality of students and make them realize their
goal, which not only suits their personality but help them to become a good
hotelier too.

The moon whimpers and the sky sulks. It's an evening of gloom and despair. But a lone twinkling star on the horizon offers hope. Even though there is deep silence, nature recites a poem. I listen avidly and hum a tune that makes my heart sing.
Somewhere from the distance the sound of betrayal can be heard. Has another Brutus arrived on the scene? Glory belongs only to God. If today you are hunted, tomorrow you can become the hunter. The predator is someone's prey. That's the law.
Some moments are too precious to be lost while some moments linger a long while. The tree that is evergreen will shed all its leaves. There is never a dull moment when Time is in its elements.
Sometimes logic takes a backseat. But the driver's seat is the hot seat. The windscreen is the window through which he sees his destiny. If I have a hundred bucks I can give to whomever I like. It is purely my prerogative and no law can put a restriction.
We chase shadows when we should be pursuing dreams. Life and office are the same. Both throw up something exciting every day. As I glance outside, I can see the solitary star sparkling away to glory. But as I said glory belongs only to God.

I see the vagrant sky wherever I go. The mind is cool as a cucumber. We have to take things in our stride. Every time things can't happen the way we want. Lonely, loneliness, and a thoughtful nest in the mind, I am not what I am feeling now. Sometimes your heart gets pierced by an action or a word. When the mangoes are ripe, it's better to eat them.
Rosy dreams can turn into thorny nightmares. Telling rosary isn't enough. The heart should be clear as crystal before you prostrate. When the moon leans towards you, you can either hug it or go away from it. Hope is far away when you are surrounded by negative energy.
Sometimes in a gathering you feel alone. Detachment is inspirational when you are not overly reliant on it. Before time dies, live. The great poet Lord Tennyson sang ?it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.? Hail Mary, Hail Jesus, the homecoming of any hero should be celebrated.
When the shepherd really cried wolf, no one ran to his rescue. We can fool people only sometimes. I am out in the open but the soul doesn't want to come out of closed door. We think when we should be acting and we act when we should be thinking. We are Hamlet when we should be Othello and Othello when we should be Hamlet.

You are special and unique-your Uniqueness defines your personality and projects what you are. Every human being in this world is exceptional and distinctive.
It is the unique combination of circumstances and your own inner strength and resilience that shape your characters. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from the setback inflicted. And then cultivating the temperament to stay focused, the biggest stumbling block in the path of happiness and success is your own self. Ego, hubris, cockiness and doggedness reside in the SELF and keep you from learning life lessons. You are good in your own unique ways.
Your dashed desires take the shape of a scarecrow and stand with arms outstretched in the field of nowhere. This shouldn't mean that you should stop having desires. Though what are desires but yearnings and cravings for what we don't have (either had and lost or never had)? Life is a train that stops at all stations but we are always caught napping when the station of our choice comes. Missed opportunities sometimes sting like a scorpion.
Agreeing with someone over something doesn't mean that you relinquish your view. The big picture should never be compromised for a small canvas. Losing a thousand small battles is any day better than losing a major war. You are the captain of your will and no one can take that status away from you.
Prophet ascended to heaven from earth. Jonah was regurgitated by the whale. Moses split the Red Sea. Christ rose from the dead. The Mahdi will emerge from behind the curtain. When man attains perfection, then, a whole new world of possibilities opens up. Miracles happen when you start believing in yourself.
We are all unique and we all have our own peculiarities. Sometimes we are like the horse and sometimes like the ass. Sometimes we soar like the eagle while at other times we scurry away like the chicken. Man is the strangest of all creatures.
(Note-Man : Includes woman also-keep this in mind while reading this)

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. Thomas Jefferson (third president of the United States)
You need to know yourself. This is the foundation that will keep you motivated to transform. Define who you are. Refine your personality. Get to know yourself, evaluate your strength and weaknesses with objectivity. Even as your confidence grows, continue focusing on your weaknesses and on ways to overcome them. . You have the capacity to be what you desire to be. You have within you the talents that have remained un-utilised. Your job is to identify that talent and then use it to get the most of yourself.
Take Time to know yourself
Know your goals, your needs, your morals and what you love. Fix your standards as to what you will not tolerate and what you are willing to die for. It in totality defines who you are. Don?t be obsessed with being number one all the times ----sometimes not being number one gives you the incentive and the courage to fight harder. It is motivating. Have patience. Have grace .Be secure enough in yourself to base your success on personal growth
Qualities like integrity, humility .character may sound stale, trite, hackneyed and having lost originality but no matter how old you are, these are the qualities and values that never go out of vogue.
Have faith in yourself and your ability to figure out what works for you and what doesn't. Make sure that you know what your weaknesses are and take steps to correct them. Remain in the domain of the ethical values that you cherish. He who does not know his own worth is ruined. You should know what your worth is .Your worth is your real strength. Guard it religiously. Don't let it slip down.
Key Takeaways
- Be true to yourself
- Evaluate your strength and weakness to know yourself
- Focus on your weaknesses and find ways to overcome them.
- Remain committed to ethical values that you cherish
- Know and accept yourself.
- The starting point of discovering who you are, what your dreams are is being comfortable with your self

A senior colleague who is also a good friend suggested me to write on ?be true to your self.? I am reminded of the wise words of Chanakya, who said, ?a person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.?
Sometimes a bit of diplomacy is required. Being true to one self doesn't mean that one should drop his guard. I am not advocating that one should be dishonest because dishonesty will not take you far. Today or tomorrow your true face will come in front of the world and you will become a laughing stock. But one has to be tactful?be honest to yourself, definitely, but be tactful at the same time. Without tact, you run the risk of getting, to use Chanakya's word, "screwed"
Can you be honest with your boss? Can you straight away tell him that he is making a mess of things? Unless you are prepared to lose your job, you will not.
Somehow or the other you will handle the circumstance in a diplomatic way. In this way are you ?being true to your self?? You aren't. Likewise one comes across so many situations where one keeps quiet, ignores, takes no action, etc, even though one is not comfortable.
Sir Winston Churchill rightly said, "never stand so high upon a principle that you cannot lower it to suit the circumstances." Listen to what your conscience says but act as per the situation. I know of many people who have taken a stand ?just to be true to one self? only to regret it later. There are various factors that dictate one?s actions and ?being true to self? is just one of them.
Even Lord Krishna took the route of diplomacy / tact. In the court of Kauravas, verbally he showed that he didn't want the war, but actually he wanted the war to take place, though he never approved telling of lies.
Call a crow a crow as long as it suits you but if it doesn't, then call it a cuckoo, as long as you are not killing the bird, what harm are you doing?

Most of us just exist; only a miniscule amongst us truly live. Days, months and years pass by, seasons change, childhood gives way to youth, youth to old age, time ticks away, everything goes?
We are not sure about the next moment and yet we squabble about the now moment. Unless we experience now, we can?t experience next.
In the now-ness is the knowing-ness.
The sky is a chimera and yet we are so enthralled by its vastness and enraptured by its blueness. A sweet tongue goes a long way in fortifying the relationship but too much sweetness may cause sickness.
Some days are like a bed of roses while some are like a sharp dagger piercing through your heart. If an unknown person crosses your path, you may not feel bad but if a known person after laughing and sharing a joke with you fires a salvo, then it does make you wonder.
When I blend with the now, I forget everything. The next seems as promising as the now.

Even though there are many beautiful words in the English Language, it is not far behind in terms of grossest sounding / ugly words. Some of them are so repulsive that they leave a bitter taste in your mouth when you speak them and a repugnant (this word finds it way in the list) echo when you hear them.

I want to share my life experiences, thoughts and feelings here with you, from my diary. Hope you connect and relate with me, my thoughts and feelings.
While I was interacting with one of my students today while giving her, the session and I told her to write and express her thoughts and feelings about friendship. She said, " I don't know, because I have never had any such friend , though I do have my room mates or school mates but nobody like ,whom I can call as really my friend". Then I asked her, " what is friendship to you? And she answered," the one with whom, I can just be myself, I can lay my head on his / her shoulder, who is always there for me and stands by me against all odds and always understands me."
After listening this from her, I realized that friendship is actually like this, and to me as well. As it is said, " A friend in need is a friend indeed!!" . Friendship is actually sharing, caring and beating. And in today's world, you are really lucky if you have one such friend. Well, this took me in my thoughts and memories way back, all the people who walked with me in my life till now. Some different types of friends, some walked with me in the journey of my life for a short period and very few till now. Like her, I also didn't have any friend in my school days. Only after my college, when I started working, I had met my bestie on a bus stand, when he was only an acquaintance to me, then. My bestie, My angel, my brother, my guide.... You don't find such a friend, such a selfless friend these days.15 years long, he walked with me till he was alive. I was soooooo myself with him and only with him and none other.
Looking back, flipping some chapters of my life, I had many different types of friends.. I have one as my spiritual level friend, where we talk about spirituality or just a good morning friend and we wish each other Good morning daily for last 7 years on wats app and I am so used to her morning wishing lovely quotes. She wishes me good morning daily with her lovely quotes......everyone teaches something and is an experience. And then, I have one as my waving friend, wherein we just wave our hands to each other from our balconies with a smile whenever we come on same time and then, I have one as my coffee friend .....just a coffee friend.....where we sometimes just share some life experiences over a cup of coffee. It's so unconditional and beautiful. Beautiful connections!!
All these are memories with so many different types of friends and feelings....but surprisinglly these days....everything is so shallow....you judge your friend or just a fight over petty materialistic things like money.......people associate with you with a motive, so mean...and they call it as friendship...woh kehte hain na....matlab ke yaar...that's how it is these days sadly.....very rightly said.....friends made in school or college are selfless when your hearts meet.
Friendship or any relationship without, trust, respect and understanding, having only bond doesn't long last and dies it's own death.....
I had a friend in my childhood days, when I was really a kid. I used to stay in Lucknow in a rented place with my family as my dad was transferred and we had shifted there. This friend of mine was the child of our landlord and we used to play together. What I remember , is he was very sweet and caring and I used to have so much fun with him but it was so short-lived, the way you see in films, my father got transferred again and we had to leave. Later on, my mother told me that he had a hole in his heart. We never met after that day and till date I wish I could meet him someday. I hope he is fine.
Then, I have one student as my friend for last 3 years. She is so younger to me, but we are quite similar. She cares so much for me and she feels , I am her elder sister. We have shared so much and talk for such long hours specially on lockdown. Can you imagine, from the class of 45 students, she was the only one, we felt instant connection and our conversations never end She is a bit crazy like me too. And crazy for dance too like me. We dance for hours and hours and hours. It's a very selfless love and care. When I had vaccine last month, she cared for me like anything. Another beautiful destined soul connection.
Yeh rishtey!! Kuch uljhe hue aur kuch suljhe hue,
Kabhi yuhi bewajah jud jaate hain aur kabhi yuhi kisi wajah se choot jaate hain, bahut si yaadein dil mein chod jaate hain aur ek nishaan sa bana jaate hain!!
Fir bhi inse hum aur humse yeh,
Yeh rishtey, kitne ajeeb hain yeh rishtey,
Kuch uljhe hue aur kuch suljhe hue,
Bahut kuch sikhaate hue, kismat se kab jud jaayein, koi nahi jaanta aur kab kahan kis se choot jaayein, koi nahi jaanta,
Kabhi rulaate hue aur kabhi hasaate hue,
Kitne ajeeb hain yeh rishtey,
Kab Kaun apna begana ban jaaye aur kab kaun begana apna ban jaaye, yeh koi nahi jaanta,
Kab kaun yuhi saath chal dey aur kab kaun kahan kis modh pe saath chod dey, yeh koi nahi jaanta
Yeh rishtey kitne ajeeb hain yeh rishtey.
You also share your thoughts and experiences on friendship, I would love to read.

I went to my granny's place and saw her after a long time, about 8 months later, because of Covid 19. She is 85 years old , cant see and even her heart is working only 30% sadly. It's very difficult for me to see her in such a condition and my heart is always heavy, whenever I meet her. She always feel so happy whenever she meets me and listens to my voice. And same with me. That's the bond we have with each other. I hold her hand and try to motivate her with my words, whatever best I can but still , one part of me feels very sad when she shares her physical, mental and emotional pain with me. She cant do anything and can just sit or ly down on bed. I keep praying for her and dont know till when, she has to bear all this pain in this life. Ohhh.....God...pls be with her....I keep telling this in my heart. I still remember the time, when I was a kid, used to stay with her for many days and she used to tell me so many stories. Some of the stories, I still remember and the beautiful childhood memories with her.
Then, I had a break at night with my cousins and after a long time, the whole family sat together and watched the movie- shershaah. ........the character was so inspiring and that too real life story of a Fauji. We had ice- cream party and pasta with the movie. My cousin had cooked pasta and macaroni and I just love it, specially the one ,made by him. Thats the bond we have, actually, and its always fun when we are together. And after the movie ended,like always, I was full of my thoughts about it. The person, Captain Vikram Batra, since his childhood, was so full of life and fearless and so clearheaded.. Some people are born legends, they have something extra ordinary, an X factor in them, some fire and spark , they are just on their mission and that's their focus and passion .I had tears in my eyes at the end of the movie. So difficult is the life of these army people. Real salute to them. The hunger , thirst doesnt matter to them, they just keep walking on their mission selflessly and sacrifice their lives unconditionally.
Rakhi day!!
22nd August,2021
I tied rakhi on my brother's hand and my cute nephew kid's hand too. And like, every year, he refused to put red roli teeka on his forehead and I ran after him to put it. And that's real fun, everyone in the family kept watching us and tried to catch him finally to put it on his forehead. We hugged each other tightly and got a photo clicked as beautiful memory. He always brings smile on my face. My chotu cute little angel!! And then he got a gift from me, his favorite gift- toys.
And then, after sometime, while playing, he saw a huge tall pen on my table and asked me, "Where did you get this from?" I told him that , on the way, I met a kid who was selling these pens and I bought it from him. Then, he asked me," Was he poor? Were his clothes torn? " I said to him," Yes, he was poor." And then I also told him, always be a good human being and help people in life specially the poor and needy ones. Then he asked me," What will you gift me on Christmas eve?" I told my 7 year young child," on this Christmas eve, you become Santa and give sweets and chocolates to poor kids. They will be happy and you bring smile on their face. You will also be happy, seeing them smiling." And he said," yes, Bui ,I will and you come along with me." I smiled and hugged him again.
Then, he kept on telling me his dreams which he says, he sees at night while sleeping and these are so crazy dreams, you just cant imagine and well, I keep listening to his crazy dreams patiently, enjoying as he keeps laughing and I love seeing his expressions while he tells his dreams. These are all nice lovely memories, I cherish with my cute darling. One of his dreams was," Bui, I saw a snake last night in our room and he was coming towards all of us- You, Daadi, Daadu, Mummy and papa, but he was a ghost in the form of snake with wires on it and I had beaten and scared the ghost away....ha ha!!"" And his dreams and such crazy stories continue and continue.....He loves playing with his toy games with me and I also do. I feel so refreshed spending time with him whenever I can. He misses me so much and I miss him too. Some strange strong bond and connection I feel with her. ....I will keep telling you more about him.........
25th August,2021
While I was traveling and on my way, my cab had stopped on the red light and to my surprise, a person came near the window of my cab and started blessing me just like that. And she said," Beti, teri aankhein batati hain ki tu dil ki bahut saaf hai aur tere dil mein bahut saari kahaaniyon aur jazbaatoen ka saagar hai, tu apne dil mein bahut kuch sama leti hai, saagar ki tarah!! Meri dua hai ki tu hamesha khush rehna aur teri har tamanna poori ho, tu jo chaaahe , tujhe woh mile!! " I smiled, said thanks to her and started giving her some money for her wellbeing but to my surprise, she refused. I ,somehow, never came across such a person in my life. Well, this person was a transgender, or you call it as gay. I always feel bad and have a soft corner for them. I insisted her to take the money from me but she again refused. Then, I also wished her luck and waved her bye.
I was full of thoughts about her and what she said to me. Also, thinking about her, made me feel more sad and heavy, that what life such people have..they are so unfortunate, their identity is questioned, they cant find any work and they are made fun of and ill- treated by people. This reminded me of a movie I had watched and it had really touched my heart...," Tamanna". In that movie, if you have watched, the movie was based on a gay who was a very nice person, found a very young newly born baby girl in a dustbin thrown by a rich family, he nurtured her....so, it's the story based on the emotional relationship between that gay father and this girl daughter . ..very heart touching movie and I love the song from the movie- " Ghar se masjid hai bahut dur, chalo yun karlein, kisi rotey hue bachche ko hasaya jaaye......"
As my cab started moving, just a few minutes later, and to my surprise, Ahhhhhhhh...... I started hearing some noise, as if some fight is going on.. I got down from my cab and walked towards the place, from where the noise was coming. And again to my surprise, what I saw was shocking...........
..........to be continued........
Keep reading for more!!
Stay safe, stay blessed and stay happy always!!

HR in Room Division Management
Recruitment, Selecting, Hiring-Preparing, Job
Descriptions of staff, Orientation, Staff Scheduling
Recruitment and Selection is an important operation in HRM, designed
to maximize employee strength in order to meet the employer's strategic goals
and objectives. It is a process of sourcing, screening, shortlisting and selecting the right candidates for the required vacant positions.
Hiring process refers to the
process of finding, selecting and hiring new employees to a company. Since the
process requires strategic and pragmatic thinking while staying humane there
are certain steps to follow to make it successful.
Hiring
process steps
1:
Identifying hiring need
2:
Planning.
Creating a
sufficient plan for your hiring will not only make you more
efficient but also help you have a good understanding of the current as well as
the future needs of the company. For that purpose it is beneficial to specify
starting dates and other technicalities with your hiring team.
3:
Creating a job description.
When creating a job description, make sure to include the
following elements: company description, job requirements, duties and
responsibilities and ultimately cover letter. Besides mentioning all the
important details within your job description, make sure to make that text as
eye catching as possible.
4:
Recruiter and hiring manager intake meeting.
The purpose of a
hiring manager recruiter intake meeting is to have a clear understanding of all
the needs and expectations of the new hire, including the technicalities
revolving the role. This meeting takes place prior to posting a job opening
online and its purpose is mainly to define all important details about the future
position.
5: Posting and
promoting job openings.
Posting jobs online became one of the essential ways of
making sure that people see and apply for the position. For that reason
companies are oftentimes trying to spread the word as much as they can by
posting their job opening on various job boards, different social media or some online
portals.
6:
Applicant screening.
After the
applicants finished their application it is time to look into their application
forms and evaluate their CVs, cover letters or any other type of document they
might have attached to the application. The process of screening results in eliminating candidates that are a
clear mismatch for the role, moving forward to the following stages with the
ones that are more qualified.
7:
Job Interviews.
When planning a
job interview, there are several thing that you should always take into account
prior to conducting it. Job interviews require planning and preparation.
Firstly, you should create a list of interview questions. Afterwards you should determine how interview process is going to look like. Whether you will be
conducting a live or a phone interview, how long will the interview last for,
and what type of knowledge will you be examining during the
interview.
8:
Applicant talent assessment.
Applicant talent assessment are tests designed to help
employers evaluate the skills of their job candidates and employees. Using the
skills assessment test helps companies ensure that the job candidates, as well
as their current employees, have the required skills to successfully perform
their jobs. When designing an assessment make sure to think of all skills and the
knowledge essential for the role.
9:
Background check & Reference checks.
Background
and reference checks refer to a recruiting process method used
by hiring managers/recruiters to get more information about a candidate by
contacting his/her previous employers, schools etc. Conducting a reference
check helps recruiters not only check the validity of information but also make
decisions based of a conversation with a person that used to work with your
potential future colleague.
10:
Pre-employment testing.
Pre-employment assessments are simple, quick and fun for
recruiters, interviewers, hiring managers, as well as candidates. Generally, it
takes too much time and effort to a recruiter or hiring manager to interview
each candidate and select the best person for the open position.
11:
Decision.
Finally, after all
assessments and checks, it is decision time! Evaluating which candidate will be
the best cultural fit while satisfying all requirements is never easy.
12:
Job offer.
A formal job offer letter/email is a document which employer sends
to the selected candidate in order to offer them a job for a certain position
at their company. Making all the aspects of a job as clear as possible to the
new hire is extremely important for both candidates and companies. This is why
is necessary to send a formal job offer letter/email to your chosen candidate.
13:
Hiring.
Only when your
candidate decides to accept your offer and signs the contract can you talk
about hiring.
14:
Onboarding.
More and more
companies are starting to understand the importance of a good onboarding. Even more so, once a company hires a new
talent, some believe this is only when the job starts. Onboarding the
candidates means introducing them to the culture and the people as well as
giving them all important information and training to be able to excel at their
job as soon as possible.
Job
Description
Job
description is an informative documentation of the scope, duties, tasks,
responsibilities and working conditions related to the job listing in the
organization through the process of job analysis. Job description also details
the skills and qualifications that an individual applying for the job needs to
possess. It basically gives all the details which might be good for both the
company and the applicant so that both parties are on the same page regarding
the job posting. Basically, job analysis is bifurcated into two
components namely job description and job specification.
Employee
orientation is the process of introducing newly hired employees to their new
workplace. It provides the basic organizational information employees need to
feel prepared for their new team, department, and role within the company.
Effective employee orientation makes employees aware of company policies and
expectations, handles essential paperwork, and answers any questions or
concerns they may have before they transition into their new positions.
Why Orientation Is Important
for New Employees
Orientation
is important because it signifies the beginning of the relationship between
employee and employer. The first day of work is the most important, as new
hires are seeking to affirm their decision to accept your offer of employment.
A smooth
transition into a new role benefits both new employees and their new managers
and colleagues. By clearly communicating expectations and responsibilities to a
new employee, they can start being productive quickly. As part of an effective
onboarding process, a thorough and engaging orientation can also help reduce
new employee turnover due to misunderstood or unmet expectations. Additionally,
a clear policy for employee orientation will ensure that all new team members
receive the same training and information.
Staff Motivation
Employee motivation is the level of energy, commitment, and creativity that
a company's workers bring to their jobs. Whether the economy is growing or
shrinking, finding ways to motivate employees is always a management concern. Competing
theories stress either incentives or employee involvement (empowerment).
Employee Motivation
Techniques
Gifts and Prizes and Awards
Awarding your employees and sending them valuable gifts on occasions
like Christmas, cutting team cakes on birthdays are some of the good motivating
ways for employees. Employees continue working with equal zeal and enthusiasm
if their work gets applauded. This is why companies are paying special
attention to rewards and recognition at work.

Appreciation and recognition
Appreciation and recognition are the two very important and major
factors of employee motivation to keep striving towards their goals at
work. They want to aim higher and better to be applauded by hikes and increase
in pay scales. By applauding employees in front of friends and colleagues, it
is the greatest motivation one can get to do better anytime.

Employee appreciation
catering to any kind of work the employee does can be great for employee
motivation. Praise for the deliverables met on time, for work done efficiently
before the deadlines are points to be praised for. Appreciate the employee and
make him feel how well he is doing. Appraise him. Identify high performers and
mention out their outstanding efforts, contributions and how they are a
valuable asset to the organization.
One of the methods of staff
motivation is also cross training, in which employees are trained to work in the more than one department. The aim of this is to make an employee capable of doing more than one type of work, and in return in gives a sense of confidence in employee.
