Every thought is a story ..: I pledge to my society, the country and the humanity...: These are trying times, COVID-19, death of a human being in a most unprecedented way in a country known for freedom to act and be responsible...

I pledge to my society, the country and the humanity et al..Its a wonderful world

These are trying times, COVID-19, death of a human being in a most unprecedented way in a country known for freedom to act and be responsible.

I often wonder why do we see people in a different than we would our own kith n kins?

Same applies to colours also, when I say someone is black, white, brown or yellow that means that racial-filter is already in action in our minds. Now is the time to inculcate the new generations to mend the ways of thinking.

More we set precedents in the name of equality more expressive will be the difference. We should be training our minds to think from the life perspective. This discourse of thinking is most appreciated in the Indian way of life where all form of life is appreciated (read worshipped).

I pledge NOT to remain silent.
I pledge to better understand the Black experience.
I pledge to fully embrace race and ethnicity with empathy.
I pledge to demonstrate equality through action.
I pledge to create safe places to speak out.
I pledge to be an up-stander in every environment.
I pledge to become an Ally.
I pledge to better educate myself.

I pledge to do this as each life-form in this world has a unique and wonderful perspective, that needs to be appreciated as it is.

I hope we can move forward together and extend this inclusion throughout the world.

Every thought is a story ..: What is going on..? No one seems to care about #co...

My friend has been in the IT industry for the last 10 years. While talking to him I realized just a few days into the lockdown in India. I quickly assessed the situation as I realized how stressed he is. Despite living in the same city, the lockdown was very depressing for him and the family. I could imagine how it would be for people who have been living alone, far away from their homes and families.
 The realization was backed by the pictures floating around in the news and social media, the pandemic was not only causing physical suffering for people but also a significant part of the population was put in mental distress. Confined to the residential units with zero in-person social contact and being locked up for days together has been causing major emotional stress on everyone's wellbeing. This required professional approach and support both to cope up with this never before situation.
I discussed this in my family and my father suggested that we start online Yoga and meditation sessions online. These guided meditation sessions were designed to help everyone who wanted to deal with anxiety and isolation. 
Soon enough the word around about the free meditation classes. To promote these we used social media platforms and a lot of positive responses from friends of friends started pouring in. Slowly the word reached the employer also. Who in turn started a forum to discuss and mitigate these problems by asking to opt for opening up in the common forum or one to one basis. The higher management also took notice of the best practice and gave the Team leaders and manager free hand to plan in between Yoga sessions, fun sittings and invited family members online to join.
In her efforts to support people who needed help, Anandmai changed her work timings and stretched her working hours. She decided to focus on tackling the fears and other emotional triggers when people are made to stay at home without any social connect.
We focus on a few simple tips and methods to calm down the anxiety levels of people. Over the last few weeks, we have been able to counsel more than the personal groups across the globe, including over 300 IBMers. 
My objective of sharing this is to make us realize that the social connects are equally important in times other than a pandemic. The gravity of the situation was not visible until the 3rd or  4th session when people started opening up. 
Now we are really enjoying the contribution these sessions have made and the difference is more expressed now. In the meantime, the good news is that a few participants have started their own groups with their smaller circle and kins. We just hope that this approach of understanding and leniency shall go on and on also then when there is no visible stress is there.
As stress and depression are more like an undercurrent that could overflow and carry away a person beyond the control

What is going on..? No one seems to care about #counterfeiting


Adidas Originals Trefoil Logo - adidas logo png download - 1980 ...My first "first encounter with #counterfeiting was way back in 1979 when my parents
bought me an Adidas Tee Shirt, I believe many of us still remember the good old logo with 3 leaves.

This being my first encounter with the imported product I had no idea of #original or #duplicate. in later year as I moved out Pune to study #German, there we heard about the BrandStreet and slowly came to know the difference in Brands and also #brandloyalty.

Next 10 Years even in Germany we had no idea of the scale of #counterfeiting until the fall of Berlin Wall, then we saw the influx of good imported vi shady channels.

With the advent of IT and the invention of the internet, things began to change. The people would be more informed than aware and the e-commerce brought in the ultimate climax to #counterfeiting.

So far so good my initiation in #brandloyalty was done by1st by Ashu Raina and later @Sudeepta Maji, and @Akshay Narolia who made me aware of the Brands and #brandprotection.So much for the background.

Over the year we have met people on a #producthunt engaged in #brandprotection as #counterfeiting became a visible loss and a danger to the Brand itself.

Our product#Originscan today is in the best position to keep the #counterfeiting out of the Product life cycle and #Supplychain. #OriginScan uses both covert and overt techniques to make itself tamperproof.

Values today are being created on virtual platforms and not within the wall example is #linkedin #facebook #twitter or #Uber etc. So the #OriginScan offers a platform to create value enabling, engaging and empowering the external and internal customers alike.

We are promoting a visual symbol to make the customers aware
of the empowerment that comes with the purchase of a product and increases #brandloyalty.

The experience shared here is true.

Thanks to all who care for Customers. Please ensure your hard-earned revenues are not looted by Counterfeiters. Your Brand is an asset lest it is diluted. Connected with me for and End-to-End solution. YOu will be surprised by the simplicity and affordability. Its never too late to wake up and claim what is rightfully yours.

Its all here - Around us only.. we just need to have an eye for it...

While surfing LinkedIn, I came across a wonderful graphics shared below. I believe that this picture conveys different message and emotions to different people as we are slaves of our own perspectives.

I tried to reason in my own humble way and tried to find out what it means to me and now this thought is here.

Most of the time we lost in the maze of jargons being thrown on us, which mean a lot but say a little to people means they only reach the person and not touch him.

A few of the jargons we start hearing from day 1 of our professional engagement with teams and companies are Influence, Teamwork, Communication, Decision, Management, Contribution, vision, ethics, Motivation and Responsibility.

We are so lost in pursuing our material goals so hard that we lose the beauty of being a Gift of the Creator. It's all around us be it nature or society or the words with which we are so good to a player. Our actions have a reason and a thought process, that means we are heavily influenced and regulated by our vicinity. This is so overwhelming that we never realize that these words should become our driving force. We just need to dive a little deeper into the jargons. These words are amazing a permutation and combination of the letters will throw open such insights that many of us will really be surprised, so maybe this time to look into how our actions are governed and maybe with a little consideration we can regulate our actions for the benefit of all, Wish all of you a day of fulfilment!!!

My life is like that..

I asked one of my friends who has crossed 60 & is heading to 70. What sort of change he is feeling in him?
He sent me the following very interesting lines, which I would like to share with you all.....

• After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself.
• I just realized that I am
not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.
• I now stopped bargaining with vegetables & fruits vendors. After all, a few Rupees more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.
• I pay the taxi driver without waiting for the change. The extra money might bring a smile on his face. After all, he is toiling much harder for a living than me.
• I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. After all, the story makes them walk down the memory lane & relive the past.
• I have learnt not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. After all, the onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.
• I give compliments freely & generously. After all, it's a mood enhancer not only for the recipient but also for me.
• I have learnt not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. After all, personality speaks louder than appearances.
• I walk away from people who don't value me. After all, they might not know my worth, but I do.
• I remain cool when someone plays dirty politics to outrun me in the rat race. After all, I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.
• I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. After all, it's my emotions that make me human.
• I have learnt that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. After all, my ego will keep me aloof whereas with relationships I will never be alone*.
• I have learnt to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.
MOST IMPORTANT ---

• I am doing what makes me happy. After all, I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to me.

How to unlock Creativity in your organization? How to resolve a problem using creative mindsets?

While evaluating the impact made on research when we really look beyond use of best proctices from the companies we admire like Apple; though this may also include the sectors like Media, Sports etc. is really immense.

The limitations are mostly predefined and come from the leadership - top down- a leader should know that encouraging the employees does unlock and stimulate creativity by unlocking the new ways of thinking.

Leaders should be like teachers that employees can look forward to talk, hear and follow

Lessons learned:

- Contrary to what many organizations and leaders believe, creativity is often laden with baggage biases and a cohesive environment is not easily forth coming. Just release the leash of productivity and performance.

- Creative success is not a result of sequential thinking process on the contrary free-flowing ideas and exploration is the key for best way to inculcate innovation.

- Time bound and mile-stone based achievement management styles are the nightmare of creativity such that the organization more often than not miss out on a noteworthy instance, product or opportunities.

- Expert base management knows to value only what has been predicted / forecast  ie. looking beyond on predictable often overruns the humble and creative inputs, as it simply cannot accept something could happen otherwise.

- Its not the re-aligning the people or process which makes the creativity bloom rather its the inculcating the culture of the self-respect and unconditional appreciation that does the trick by creating an aura of self-achievement.

- Being overly cautious and focused hampers the joy of being creative.

- Coney trust and Acceptance mindset will bring in a fresh air than forcing stale air on by being conservative or pessimistic.

AI and GDPR- are complimentes to each other
