Indian Diplomacy – The Art of Protocol

Image
Diplomacy is carried out by a Diplomat, and a Diplomat is a one who exhibits Diplomacy! Sounds crazy? Yes, we are such! Diplomats aren’t intelligent people, but they are a step ahead of Intellectuals and Smarts. The inspiration comes from various sources, for me, it was from Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, a French Diplomat. Ok, how does it feel when you are being addressed as a Diplomat. Initially, I didn’t admit to being addressed as Diplomat because I strongly believed that one should be Diplomatic enough to be addressed such. It took almost 4.5 years to get into the primary level elevation. People may have different opinions and ideas about a Diplomat. Oh! Yeah, PEOPLE means a more extensive set of definition.

Attachment & Detachment – Being Adult

Image
Attachment is clinging to anything you believes is needed for your survival and pleasure. Attachment is the source of all our pleasures now. We are attached to our friends, to our relatives; we are attached to our intellectual and spiritual works; we are attached to external objects so that we get pleasure from them. What, again, brings misery but this very attachment? We have to detach ourselves to earn joy. If only we had the power to detach ourselves at will, there would not be any misery. That man alone will be able to get the best of nature, who, having the power of attaching himself to a thing with all his energy, has also the power to detach himself when he should do so. The difficulty is that there must be as much power of attachment as that of detachment. There are men who are never attracted by anything. They can never love, they are hard-hearted and apathetic; they escape most of the miseries of life. But the wall never feels the misery, the wall never loves, is never ...

Hong Kong - The round clock city to Enjoy

Image
After almost a month, I am back to write at these blogs.  Hong Kong  comes alive at night, abuzz with diners, revelers, theater goers and even market traders still out plying their wares. The nightlife scene is rightly legendary: there is something to do at every time of the day in this city that never sleeps. The nightlife options are too numerous to mention, but below you’ll find just a sample of what’s on offer: from cultural performances through to late-night party venues and midnight feasts.

Japan – Expensive Punctual Lifestyle

It is always a pleasure in exploring various countries and that too in an entertainment mode or mood. In that list, I wanted to explore the Japan. After making a steady plan,  I made myself to visit Tokyo for few days draining Indian Economy and boosting the Japanese Economy . And I did it almost. Born and being brought-up in India is always a curse because you don’t the value of Time and Life. But the Japanese culture does it. As soon as I landed-up, there was a shuttle bus which takes me to The Narita Port Hotel which is actually renamed as Narita Gateway hotel. I didn’t update my time in my hand phone, but to my surprize it was there exactly ON-TIME. Generally, in India we used to be ON-TIME by mistake. When we arrive ON-TIME, you will not have the right respect and mileage. But it is just opposite in Japanese culture. Wasn’t that much satisfied with the Hotel Accommodation as it was exactly the size of our Kitchen in my house. But it was compact and tight fit for an indiv...

People Expect Big Always

Image
The people in the world including me expect everything to happen in a BIGGER manner and beyond the expectations. Yet still, even after achieving it we aren’t happy. This is a clear defined psychological disorder in my perspective. In India, initially there was a guy who was drawing USD 100 a month; he expected to add a “0” at the last of the salary figure. He worked too hard and added as he wished. Now, he was drawing USD 1000 a month; he wanted to double his salary value. Yes, he achieved in doing it. Now comes the tax issue, so he started all the tax saving process. To have his sustainable income, he wanted to earn some more, this continued until he reached the monthly salary USD 7500 at different actions. And his will came live, he got a good position into the society and unable to move with the society for his personal pleasures. Though he had a big bank balance, he wasn’t able to eat peacefully as he had a huge stress issues. What was the final outcome of earning such?...

Status of a MBA in India

It is highly painful when someone educated stand in the road-side and keep begging. Very similar to that today morning I saw a case and am highly worried how the University encourages these types of activities. After a long time, I was little bit free today sitting in the 3rd Floor leisurely. My dogs were barking strongly, so I happened to check the visitor. Three guys were standing downstairs in a professional manner with a tie, tucked-in shirts and well polished shoes. So, I decided to check it out. Inbetween, my mom from the 2nd floor asked them to leave the place and in the meantime I arrived at 2nd Floor and said that I will be handling them. Yes, atright they quoted that they were from Pondicherry University, who completed MBA in 2011 and left behind with no job. He was absolutely selling the DK Multimedia Publication Books for INR 3000 (50$). I can get those books online at INR 500 or (8$). The responses which I got from him after the conclusion point was little bit tough and he...
