I am going to address a very important topic of proper dressing. Dressing as per the work culture of your workplace and yet not portraying a casual and laid-back attitude.
When you are in the race for a promotion, you better start displaying that you are in there for a business. And the first place to start is grooming yourself.
Lets talk about dressing sense a bit. In all of my interactions with sales people and people in customer service, I have noticed that they are always formally dressed, clean shaved, well cut hair. Are you getting what I am trying to say?
For a promotion, you will have to sell yourself. A formal dress is a must to make people take you seriously. When I say people, I am concentrating on your boss and management.
Before you utter a word, help yourself in making an impression. You can save yourself from so much of impression building exercise, if you start on the right note.
I will soon get back to you on this with more thoughts.
Holi: Hiding Your True Self
They say and I am quoting from the 'Indialine.com, a website that helps tourists from around the world in planning, designing and organising everything they require for a trip to India, right from fulfilling their need for information on India to actually making big and small arrangements for the trip, 'After New Year, Holi is probably the most widely celebrated festival of colors in India diluting all the physical boundaries where people associated with any caste, religion or class meet with love and affection leaving behind all grudges, tensions and hatred of previous times.'
This could'nt be farther away from truth.
I have messaged my greetings to people with who I have not been on talking terms. I am yet to receive a response or thank you note. And I am talking of Indian Hindus who would be celebrating this festival with full fervour.
Holi is an occasion to indulge in the satisfaction of desires and consumption of products laced with bhaang. People lose inhibitions, self-control, sway and dance in complete disdain.
If this is what holi is all about, then I do not want to be a part of it. Do not even smear a dry color on me.
If this is what celebration is all about, then, there is nothing to celebrate at all. Its rather sad.
What are we celebrating for? What is the significance in today's time? If the celebration takes us back to a period, through brief it may be, of anarchy, lack of discipline, no inward analysis, uncivilization, then, there is nothing to be proud of.
There is actually speaking, no reason to celebrate. Are we progressing or digressing.
Are you a better person as a result of playing, enjoying the festival of holi? Do you think that you have changed a little better as a result of this festival? During this period of festivities, have you given a thought about forgiveness, reconciliation, building bonds, bridging gaps?
Is India booming at all? Are we progressing ahead? or are we just a hypocritic nation that colors itself on this occasion, more so physically.
