Graduation Speech / Guest Vietnam & Maldives

Good Morning Everyone! It is an immense pleasure in being here on the invitation of Prof. Tao. This morning is very special one for me as I was blessed to smell the air of 3 countries in hours, and obviously the controlled air in 1 country. Everyone gets a degree, what makes you proud and captivated is the question of the hour. All that is required at the end of this programme which is never mentioned in the curriculum is that “Human Network”. This network should be well maintained and watered throughout the life even while crossing the difficult steps.

Characteristics of a Drunk / IP

Disclaimer: I am a non-drinker! Drinking alcohol with close ones is more important for the self-evaluation. Without addiction, a normal occasional drinking is perfectly fine. Even during those times, it is recommended for a perfect brand without adulteration. I thought of writing all my experiences of being with Drunk and Intoxicated and Intimate Persons. In the United Kingdom and the United States, we use to address them as VIP on first vision. VIP claims to the abbreviation of identification of Visually Intoxicated Person. Here are few of the Characteristics: Read More at: https://blog.kokulakrishnaharik.in/2018/11/characteristics-of-a-drunk-ip/

Bromance over Romance - Privileging the Bromance - A study & Examples

Image
Young men get more emotional satisfaction out of “bromances”—close, heterosexual friendships with other males—than they do out of romantic relationships with women, according to a small new  study published in  Men and Masculinities . This study along with a few examples in the reality exemplifies that men need more bromance than romance. Bromances can be important to heterosexual men, and can, in fact, be even more valued than romances. We all have one or two close friendships with whom we share more intimate things without borders and this article is all about it. This article only for men, so girls don't! Just like "Blood is thicker than Water", similar it is "Bromance is stronger than Romance". I have written a few answers in Quora earlier about how the loss of a friend in life affects your performance. We may have many friends, but a "Bro" could be one or two. Calling / Addressing you as "Bro" doesn't mean unless I feel the term with...

Women - A most respected Creature - Thoughts for Men

  "Sex is sweet but there is poison in between the legs"  Most downfalls of men are caused by MULTIPLE girlfriends. Sex is a spiritual encounter I st and to be corrected, not every girl has a good spirit, some are a demon, some has poison in between their legs. Some are killers and destiny destroyers, be careful. Worst is a man who can't control his sexual urge. A man who can control his sexual urge is a man who can live for many years on earth. 1. Having many girlfriends does not make you a man. It only makes you a womanizer, a cheat, sinner and a boy. 2. A real man has only one woman(wife) in his life. 3. For the fact that you are good in bed does not make you a man. A real man is a man who does not run away from his responsibility but faces it squarely. 4. You don't need to sag your trousers and walk around the street before girls will love you. Infact it is only small boys those sag trousers and it is premature little girls that fall in love with men who sag trous...

Graduation Day Commencement Speech @ Sri Lanka

Image
Reading Time: 4 Minutes 10 Seconds / Speech Time: 9 Minutes 4 Seconds Today, the day of your official transformation from Quantity to Quality carried away by this 9 grams of paper shielded in 140 grams of the holder is going to be a stronger date in your entire life. For most of them, it may be an end card, where for some it would be a beginning. Everyone is comfortable in their timezone; where time is linear and life is never meant to be such. I happened to visit the Keells Supermarket which was just a few meters away from my station this morning. The manager who greeted me was a bit friendly as I was the only customer and I wanted to get some paper packed juices for my breakfast. He was suggesting me few juice packs and directed me to the right section. When I reached that section, I saw different varieties of juices and started the usual Economist way of thinking and started my hunt. I saw a pack being labelled as 30 rupees which usually used to be 200 rupees in my hometown. Was del...

Shouldering a Girl for Half-a-Journey to the United Kingdom

Image
Every Journey in my life counts and my very recent Journey to the United Kingdom was really more impressive and soul-satisfying. Stop Judging me with the above statement. This is my 100th post and if you didn't get me till now, a hard regret for your understanding ability. After a very long-time in-service, I happened to fly in Jet Airways from New Delhi, India to London, United Kingdom. It was a quite long travel for around 9 hours and 10 minutes. Since it was my own money, I flew in Economy Class and got my preferred seat. I got a window seat on the 38th row. A descriptive is shown in the below image, but not the actual seatmap. With last few passengers left behind boarding the aircraft, I arrived at the gate and boarded the aircraft. Was really happy to see that my next seat is empty and frequent travellers can surely feel its pleasure. OMG! The pleasure didn't last long. A mid 20's girl was searching for her seat with a small handbag. She arrived near my seat and claime...

Indian Friendship - Trust & Respect

Image
More than a decade, the real fruit of acquiring a friend was missed in my life. In a friendship trust and respect are the only components, others are not even into the list. The blossoming period of life, the school thought me much in India but failed to teach me life lessons. And, being an Indian Kid, I had been constantly controlled, monitored and directed whom to speak with and whom not to. Not limited to the gender, there was a heavy restriction on the selection and this selection was done by my parents; yes you read it right. To say more about the Indian theocratic society, the 1950 - 1990 parents are more concerned about the Religion, Caste, Color and Social Status. Usually, the wingspans are the cut short for an individual and they fix it with Fevicol artificially. There are millions and millions of factors imposed by the parents and guardians while choosing one friend. This decision of choosing is highly impacted. Do never exclude me from this list, I have been in the same posi...

Keystones on Intimidating Personality

People possessing this type of personality are absolute love for me! No matter blanketing their gender, there will a free hug from me :-) Transparent Enough: The one who is strong in the decision and ability to communicate it with the fullest level of transparency is a need for me. I have seen people getting behind me and speaking. I don't know what they speak and don't bother about them. But if you want things to be flat, speak infront of me. But, I do! Strong and Firm Decision: Decision making is the biggest art. Those who can make a strong and firm decision as a leader is learned personality. I have seen people who aren't able to make a firm decision, I understand that decisions are highly influential in Asian countries, but still then. But, I do! Hate Small Conversations: Are you one who talk to me small conversation as we speak to customer care? Then, there is no space for you! If you speak with me for less than 15 minutes in the first meeting, mind it; that w...

[caption id="attachment_387" align="aligncenter" width="1920"] Gandhi Status at Pondicherry Beach[/caption]   Ah, the title maybe slightly grumpy, but it is quite a big reality. Pondicherry (Puducherry) is a Union Territory located near Chennai. Today even most of the kids when we say this name, it turns them magical to enjoy the peaceful, ambient and serene beach environment. Not only limited to this, Pondicherry was a French Colony and you could smell the french fragrances each and every corner of the city.

For people like me, who don't even drink also this Wine pulls with its sweetness and low alcohol rate. Apart from this wine, there are many brands and types of Alcohol which are comparatively cheaper in Pondicherry putting the list against Chennai, Tamil Nadu or Bengaluru, Karnataka. The weekends are fully invaded by the Touris...

New H1B Bill - USA Entry Game

Image
Recent days, I am quite engaged with various activities around the world and the time allocated is thinning day by day! The recent H1B Bill “High-Skilled Integrity and Fairness Act of 2017“ introduced in the house by Rep. Zoe Lofgren, have been blown out of proportion and creating confusion and anxiety in many current and prospective H1B visa holders. Due to the same timing of both of the executive order and H1B bill news, they are combined and facts are misinterpreted by many news agencies, which is the sole reason for the confusion. We will try to articulate the reality to clear all the confusions. First, let’s look at both of the news separately. If you have not read, first read Leaked Executive Order on H1B, L1 Visa by Trump. Now, Let’s look at the other news. Below is the summary of the H1B 130K Bill. Short Summary of the H1B Bill 130K – High-Skilled Integrity and Fairness Act of 2017 Immigrant Visas ( Green Cards ): Eliminate the per country cap for employment-based immigrant v...

Smart Intellectual Kid - A new Perspective Dimension

Image
While I was engaged with one of the World's Toughest man for a program and I just begun my last travel with him for that specific visit. It was almost 3 days I had been with him day and night. Quite reserved in the conversations, but am being an ambivert, I started the conversation and it went on well than what I actually imagined about. Moving something personal, that gentleman said, "KK, you aren't having any Good Friends or a Girl Friend both in present and past right?". I was stilled for a minute, and replied him "Yes Sir, you 're right!" The conversation went on and the specific points which impressed me are quoted below: Smart Intellectual Kids like you  Will Never have a Best Friend  Will Never have a Girl Friend Will find it very difficult in finding a Wife Will find it very difficult in managing the Wife He advised me to write this in my diary and you will never ever regret wasting few minutes in recording the above 4 statement anytime f...

Identification of being Emotionally Attached vs Love

Love is one of those things that almost every person on this planet is searching for. Some may get it where most may not get it. And the most important is getting a true love or companionship has been distinct. Some of us want it so badly that we get swept up in the initial stages of romance, blinded by feelings of lust, affection, and desire. There's no better feeling in this world than finding a person who loves you just as much as you love them. But, sometimes we idealise people, rather than letting them just be themselves. And this is because we're searching for our own validation, rather than a genuine, loving bond. Sometimes what we think is love is really just an emotional dependence that we've come to rely on for our own satisfaction and self-worth. Listed below are few signs that your relationship might not be as healthy for you as you think it is: 1. A large portion of your self-worth is derived from your significant other's approval, affection and attention. ...

3 Years of Policy Making & Strategy Execution Expertise comes to an end

Image
It has been more than 60 days from my last post, I was thinking to write about various things, but the transition from one position to another is always the complicated one as everyone is aware of. And that too imagine an execution level people transitioning in the Governmental or Non-Governmental is really such painful and a time-consuming one. And the title of the post almost quotes the end point of my cycle at the high-level office. It doesn't mean that I am empty headed now, instead, the platform where I was shining now changes to an another platform. Yes, I am now successfully a free bird, without spy (hope so...) and can move independently after almost 3 years. Do never visualise about being into the Prisons which is being provided by Government; instead was serving the Government. This 3 year is the best period of my life, I could say in a nutshell. The high-level contacts which range to many Solons, Great Reseach Scientists and Professors across the world. But I have to lit...

Conversation with future Spouse – Part 6/28 – Home Management

Home Management is sometimes misunderstood that it's the duty of women. But it is not actually. Here are few questions which needs to be asked before setting up the home or ensuring that your home is compatible enough for your future spouse. Did you have a paying job when you were in high school? Before high school? Do you believe in establishing a family budget? Do you believe in prenuptial agreements? Under what circumstances? Do you believe that a certain amount of money should be set aside for pleasure, even if you're on a tight budget? Do you gamble? Do you have significant debts? Do you pay alimony or child support? Do you prefer urban, suburban, or rural settings? Do you think of your home as a cocoon, or is your door always open? What do you need to feel energised and inspired in your home? Has money ever been a factor for you in the breakup of a relationship? Have differences about home style ever been a factor in the breakup of a relationship? ...

Conversation with future Spouse – Part 4/28 – Pets

Asking your spouse about the Pet Preference could be one of the eye-openers for an individual trying to converse. Yes, some are bit fearful, some hate them, some love them and even some try to get legal status for their pets in their family. Are you an animal lover? Do you believe a person should give up his or her pet if it interferes with the relationship? Do you consider pets members of your family? Do you have a dog, cat, or other beloved pet? Have disagreements about pets ever been a factor for you in the breakup of a relationship? Have you ever been jealous of a partner's relationship with a pet? Have you ever been physically aggressive with an animal? Have you deliberately hurt an animal? Is your attitude "Love me, love my dog" [cat; potbellied pig]? Is there any specific pet animal which you prefer to stay away? Coming soon part 5, keep watching!

Conversation with future Spouse – Part 3/28 – Appearances / Looks

Always ageing is a factor which appears on the skin leaving a strong traces of love and affection which one possessed during the span. So, this is more important. Are there cosmetic procedures that you regularly undergo? Do you feel that you can have good chemistry with someone who is moderately physically attractive to you, or is a strong physical attraction necessary? Do you have strong preferences about being with a particular physical type? Do you worry about getting old? Do you worry about losing your looks? Has physical appearance or chemistry ever been a factor in the breakup of a relationship? How important is it that you always look your best? How important is your spouse's appearance? How much money do you spend on clothing every year? Is weight control important to you? Is your spouse's weight important to you? What do you like and dislike about your appearance? What would your reaction be if your partner were to gain a significant amount of...

My Part 2 of Seasoning MBA Applications begun with BIG THANKS and now my Part 3 of Seasoning MBA Applications beings with an Extra Large THANKS and apologies for the delay. This is a 4 part experience based information guide.

A stern analysis was done when the admissions officer gave her decision over th...

Beer – Men’s Anti-Stress Medicine

Image
Smoking Causes Cancer and Drinking is injurious to Regular Health and Sexual Life I am back after almost a month's time. There is no harm in the disclaimer statement above, because it has been clinically proved. I could smell people crazily guessing about my absence and this blog post. To clarify intensively, I am not a drunkard . There was a very interesting discussion about drinking beer between me and one of my socially drinking best friend. He was giving various satisfying points why one should drink. Though I wanted to share them in this post, before that I wanted to share something which was very interesting and the area which I made the research for more than 45 days to get an absolute clarity. From all, he was very strong that he should drink beer before having food or while having food but never after food. He was partially right in his statement. Yes, beer or any alcoholic drink during food is good. But before food, it is highly harmful. After the analysis and references ...

Hong Kong - The round clock city to Enjoy
