COIMBATORE DAY 3...!!

Its just three days that i left hyderabad and i already start to miss it. The heat here is testing me. though we sit in an AC room all the day, the moment we come out, it hurts and as the day ends, it really really is bad given the power cuts.

but today, i have got something positive to note. May be that being here for three days, i am able to take in the system and get adjusted, but there are somethings that i really like about this city. let me tell you first the journey that made me positive.

today's session started well. It was a case study discussion (my all-time favorite) on Recruitment. At the end of the session, I got compliments for my decision making skills. Teachers with good years of experience came to me and said that they have learnt from me today. This is a real booster and a great way to start the day. The rest of the session today, i am happy about.

After the session, we went out shopping and this is when i have the first positive point about the city.

• its well structured
• very organized traffic

While shopping, we went to Pothy's....one of the best silk emporium in the South. I got a beautiful cotton saree there. then happened something that I never knew before.

• they gift each of the customer with a plant. these plants are not any other fancy plant. they were useful ones. I got a gooseberry plant and some flower plant(medicinal).

Thats a great move towards encouraging the customers to GO GREEN. I decided that from now on, i will try and give plants as gifts on certain occasions.

Chalo, i finally started to like this city. Hope i take enough experiences to treasure for a life time from coimbatore.

hope many more to come...bye for now.

COIMBATORE DAY 2...!!!

Thank God I could have a good sleep last night. The second day, started well with interesting lecture, but ended the worst with the most boring lecture. But the discussions and debates were interesting.

Coimbatore weather is OK types, but about the heat, it is better than Hyderabad. But the power cut makes it worse. Every alternate hour there is a powercut. Thanks to the college management, atleast they have a generator and gave us an AC room.

In the last post, I was to tell you about the story of the accommodation here. Its the worst part of my coimbatore trip.

Its a typical girls hostel where you have a demon-like warden and cat-like students. One yells and the others fear. I think none of them can speak when she is around. they literally become dumb. what they, i also get dumb looking at her, she is like that. None can help.

Crossing her, i entered the room. My God i was dumbstruck. its 12x10 room where 4 of us were expected to live. My God, i couldnt take it at all. when you go to the mess, the demon stands at the entrance making sure that none is talking or wasting food. Does she not know by now that none can talk when she is around...whatever..!!! the silly part is that, you are expected to carry the plate and the glass while you go to take food. It was literally like the prisoners in the jail....and yeah, we were not anything less than that.

top of all, its the timings. the breakfast is at 7.00am when i dont even wake up. lunch is anyways at the college so no worries...and the dinner is at 7.00pm when i dont even feel hungry. and past this time..no food u would get...!! only i know how am i surviving here....coz' i have no other option.

but one thing is that i atleast got an experience of a typical girls' hostel.

Now i realize how wonderul was my college hostel during my MBA...!!!

lots later...bye for now :)

COIMBATORE DAY 1..!!!

All the while I was so excited for this trip, a 15 day training program at Coimbatore. More than the training what excited me was that i am alone again. No husband no parents no one who knows me would be around. It was "MY" life once again.

But it all changed the moment I got down the bus in Coimbatore. I could find no one speaking a language common to me. That was the first time i experienced the REAL Tamil Nadu which my North Indian friends were always talking about. I was trying to ask where the bus stop is or where i could get an auto rickshaw...and they were all clue less about what i was asking or i was about what they were saying.

Amidst such confusion, something familiar I found. The sunrise :) behind the tall green coconut trees, the sun mightily rose and shone his rays upon bringing a smile on my face.

Then i found one stout man busy with his morning walk and I asked him. thank him, he knew english and guided me right but the real problem started then, the auto wala couldnt understand english and he dint know where the place was. but somehow he gt me to the accommodation i was allotted.

The accommodation is another story, look for my next post to read about it.

The program went well and i returned back started blogging...now thats all for the day. I am tooo tired that i cant tell you the story of the day...so next post..till then.happy reading..happy blogging...!!!

Bye

WOW,,,WOMAN...!!!

“Women Employment” is the topic of the day. I recently read an article about the reluctance of a manager in employing a woman and the reason he states was that the candidate is a woman and he can’t rely on employing her as she may leave at any time.

I was surprised to find out that there are still people like that. Today, when women are found also in the topmost positions of the organizations, “how could he reason like that?” was my question.

Women have always known about the impact that they have on the society. They always knew what is important and the ways to optimally achieve it. Its just that the man around is not open for acceptance, just like that manager who was reluctant to employ a woman.

Development of women is not in the hands of them because any task given to them, they do it the best. Its in the hands of the Men who are not ready to accept it. If man had been open for developing a woman and empowering her, then we would have shown him how stars are easy to reach.

As a woman of the 21st century, I would like to highlight something about why we are the way we are:

1. Women are definitely aspiring high but the families we come from are not letting us fight for our aspirations...we still are respecting the values..!!!

2. Definitely the requirements of women are different...so the organization must understand the variation and implement their work policies and design their work culture..!!

3. If someone says "We choose not to be on the top"...may be yes and we have our own reasons.. we are indeed multitaskers...but, sometimes priorities play the game and we are intelligent in choosing as well..!!

4. We can be better every day, just that the opportunity given to us is not as open as it to men...that makes the difference..!!!

5. We started to think out of the box but we are still in the box and thinking...give us a chance to implement and we will come out with flying colors..!!

6. How can anyone say that a woman can’t handle the responsibilities well? I strongly believe that each of had learnt to live our responsibilities from our mother. Whatever the time may, the mother never forgets her responsibilities. The case of a woman is no different.

So dear world, being woman is worth and respect them for what they do your life wearing different roles of a mother, sister, friend, wife, daughter etc.

Salute womanhood…!!!

MY PERSONALITY TEST...!!

A feeling of boredom lets me do crazy things sometimes and today one such passtime was taking up a 'PERSONALITY TEST' where I had to answer certain questions with the most suitable answer according to me and here is the interesting result which is almost right...wow it feels good to read about something so apt about yourself...!!!

Your personality type: "Engaged Idealist"

Popular and sensitive, with outstanding people skills. Externally focused, with real concern for how others think and feel. Usually dislike being alone. They see everything from the human angle and dislike impersonal analysis. Very effective at managing people issues and leading group discussions. Interested in serving others and probably place the needs of others over their own needs.

Careers that could fit you include:

Teachers, consultants, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, clergy, sales representatives, human resources, managers, events coordinators, politicians, diplomats, writers, actors, designers, homemakers, musicians, religious workers.

now all those who know would definitely agree with the above and would want to test their personality...so here you go [link]...hope you get the best experience as i did...good luck..!!
