I am really not sure if I am really going towards any destination. It has been very wavering for quite a few years on choosing which field or which place and finally I am in a place which I never thought I would be. Still confusion persists. Should I continue with it or should I change the track??? Need much experience and clarity. A blur grey is what I see right now. No absolute peace. I feel like i am losing my freedom on what i do.

Live your life
I often see people fighting for caste and religion. After all this life is only to live. Life is very short that sometime we never get opportunity to live with the people we love. Nobody understands life is to live and not to fight with the caste we are born in. As stupid as it is when people sounds about religion while everything in life is only to enjoy. People we cherish only can give happiness. It is not the caste that is going to bring you the peace. Feel the shower of love. Enjoy the smile you get when you see your beloved ones. Finally don't miss your life, only you can decide it.

A Strange stranger
I happened to meet a very old man(i can't guess his age) this morning in my bus stop. I was waiting to catch an auto. Since i was standing inside the stop and trying to stop auto passin by, he adviced me to come out and try. So I did. Finally I got an auto. This old man told me that he wanted to go the same place where I am going. He was looking very decent and he introduced himself to be a doctor working in abroad. I thought ok why not to help people and accepted him to come with me. As the auto started he started collecting my personal details where i m staying about my mom dad and all. I was telling him. The thing is after a couple of minutes i felt like why this man asking all these details from me!!!! Finally I wanted him get down from the auto. I asked him where do you want to go. He told someother place. I explained him where he was. After sometime he asked some money from me telling that he is very hungry and he will drop cash only by 12 in the noon. I was really shocked. Finally he got down near some mosque. I realized that I should not believe all people.
People Beware!!!!!

Change in pace
Being a passionate writer but still a lazy girl, I dreamt of writing writing writing and writing for a long time. Brooding over everyday things, thinking why to write about this (sometimes why not to write about this) finally after a long gap I am compiling a new post. In this short gap my life style has been changed completely from a small town to a big city. I sometimes feel like being thrown in an ocean of knowledge in the day and in the garbage of people in the evenings. Strange!!! Only 3 months have gone. My interest in meeting people is growing in one way. Infact I met so many new faces in a wide range of age group from 3yrs to 50yrs.
A cute little girl who tells greets me every Morning in the bus stop, Tells this lovable poem
I like the birds,
I like the clouds,
I like the stars......
It makes me feel like God tells me "ay!! I gift stars,clouds,birds for you. Its your world Enjoy it!!!!"
Next comes the old lady who sells flowers who tells me come everyday(sure its not for business) greets me with smile and gives me extra flowers for the 10Rs I pay her.
Unbelievable!!! People sometimes advice me not to talk to strangers. I can understand this statement but still my thirst over making friends doesn't stop. Interesting to learn new things inside new office.
100% change in pace!!!!

5 Steps to Deal with Difficult Employees
Difficult people present no problem if we pass them on the street, in the supermarket or in a building lobby. Nevertheless, when we have to work with them difficult people can become major irritants.
It seems that some people are just born to be difficult. We have all worked with them and most of us dislike them. Difficult people are easy to recognize--they show up late, leave early, don’t turn their work in on time and have an excuse for every failing.
Wait, there’s more. These difficult people harass you and others, ask too many self-explanatory questions, neglect details, distract you and repeatedly challenge you and others. Even worse, when they interact with customers, vendors and people lower than them on the corporate hierarchy, they can be grouchy, impolite, condescending, uninformed, misleading, inappropriate or simply wrong. Do you know anyone like this?
Naturally, no one wants to work with difficult people. When dealing with problematic employees, productivity decreases, frustrations rise, morale goes down and customers and vendors get upset.
How to Handle Them
1. Don’t ignore the problem. Assuming that the employee provides value to the company and possesses redeeming qualities, there are ways to deal with difficult employees. Most often, managers will simply ignore problematic staffers. Managers who live by this rule hope the problem will just go away; that these people will somehow turn themselves around or stop being troublesome. Ignoring the situation is the wrong solution to what could likely become a progressive problem.
2. Intervene as soon as possible. It is important to take action as soon as the negative behavior pattern becomes evident--when left untouched, this problem will only escalate.
Occasionally, the difficult employee has no idea that his behavior is a problem or that others react negatively to his actions. This is because most people tend to put up with the annoying behavior and “go along to get along.” At the same time, some employees just consider it a “job frustration.” Just like some managers, employees want to be liked by colleagues and subordinates and are therefore reluctant to speak up when a problem arises.
Ultimately, it is the manager’s responsibility to take the appropriate action to correct the problem. Whether the concern exists due to the employee’s lack of knowledge of the issue, lack of feedback or projecting the difficulty onto someone else, the manager has the responsibility of addressing and turning around the predicament. The manager needs to gather information from employees to discern the extent of the problem and personally observe the employee interacting with customers or vendors.
3. Research the problem personally. Armed with accurate data and examples, the manager needs to then take this person into a conference room or office--away from others--and calmly address the issue. To begin, the manager needs to ask the employee if he is aware of any ongoing issues to determine if the difficult person is aware of the problems.
If the employee is “unaware,” the manager needs to describe the unacceptable behavior. The employee might interrupt to disagree or deny the existence of any issues. Nevertheless, the manager needs to continue by giving clear examples of the unwanted behavior.
The manager also needs to allow the employee to respond to the allegations. If the difficult employee refuses to believe that the allegations exist despite the evidence, the most the manager can hope for is an intellectual acceptance of the possibility that a problem exists.
4. Help the problematic employee to get back on track. Once the employee begins to understand that these negative behaviors are real and experienced by others in the organization, the manager or someone from human resources should begin to coach the difficult employee in displaying more acceptable and appropriate behaviors. The employee needs time and practice in “trying on” new, more suitable behaviors. HR and/or the manager need to provide specific feedback to this employee on the success or failure of his efforts in minimizing the negative actions and implementing ones that are more positive.
5. If all else fails, termination may be necessary. If the employee continues to deny his inappropriate behavior and refuses to try to improve the situation, the manager needs to place this person on the fast track towards termination. Often this involves recording a series of well-documented verbal and then written feedback about the behavior. Strictly following company protocol, there should be a period for the employee to address the questionable behavior. If this trial period does not result in improved behavior, then the employee needs to be terminated.
Most employees will recognize the negative behavior and will at least attempt to turn it around. This is especially true during tough economic times when unemployment is high and finding a new job is difficult. In any case, the manager needs to follow company guidelines in recognizing the unacceptable behavior, providing direct feedback, providing input to try to turn it around and ultimately taking action in a timely manner.
Not doing so is a disservice to the problematic employee, other employees and the success of the organization.
