Be Happy To Be A Woman!!

Two weeks back, I was into management training.

'Women In Management' was the training name.

It was really interesting.

They used the 'Strengths Finder' method and encouraged each and everyone of us to find our own strengths and develop them to shine in life.

I have never had a thought to manage people, I hate it at work.

But still the ideas given in the training was really good.

At last, the trainer made us to write our own poem about the things we learnt in training.

Oh.. We were capable of writing a kind of poem..

Here's ours..

Becoming a leader is not impossible

Try and make yourself that capable

5 AM people, we were the one

Got to know, we are not alone

Don't leave before you leave

For you don't have any clue

Be brave and have fun 

After all it is all your life, Be a winner in the long run !!!

Isn't it interesting? Please say so.. :-)

I got a chance to meet women in higher management in our firm and they shared the work-life related issues. Now I realize that most of the women are struggling to bring their children up, and I am not alone in this. This gives me more interest to come back for work daily.

Just a chitchat

Have a Happy Weekend ( One more day is there.. But still )

With Love,

Happy New Year 2017 !!!

'What is the new year resolution?'
'I don't make resolution this year.'
'Why?'
'Because I always break resolutions'
'Resolutions are to break only na'

This conversation I heard yesterday.

Actually resolutions are not meant to be broken.
And it is not that you have to take resolutions on the New Year's day.
But we can have a fresh start.
And if you stay in a city like Bangalore, the new year sense automatically comes and spreads to your heart, at least to me it had happened.
Even though, I am not a party-lover, we still celebrated at home.

And here goes.. My plans for this year..

1. Do better at work :- Actually studying ( not reading ) well and performing well at work have never been my resolutions in any years. Because I used to work for my salary and I will have that satisfaction. But last year, due to personal stress, I couldn't concentrate much on work. That gave still more stress. Hence, I have planned to do better performance this year. I should give as much inputs as possible.

2. Reading and Writing :- I should read various types of books, apart from historical novels and love stories. And I should start writing more as well, on various topics.

3. Travel :- As I had mentioned in many posts, I love visiting new places, but I hate travelling ( If I have a machine which will take me to the place that I think, in a minute, will be wonderful ). I would love to visit historical pilgrimages and artistic places. At least two places, I should visit this year.

4. Relationship :- I should not hurt people and should not ignore loved ones ( not annoying ones ).

5. Gardening :- I should grow more and more plants. Try to grow some.. The pleasure is immense :-)

Apart from these, I have a simple resolution as well. It is a family resolution. After getting back to home from work, We should use our cell phones like 'land-line' phones. Whenever we have to make\receive calls only, we should go near to it. Let me tell you next year by this time, how it worked :-)

Wishing you a great and wonderful year ahead!!!

Love,
Vaanadhi.

The YEAR 2016

Year 2016, was the first new year which I came across without my dad.
It took this whole year for me to recover from his death. And I am still recovering.
I encountered My first birthday without him, his first birthday without him, My wedding day without him, His wedding day without him and many more like these.
These are some things that I have never thought that will happen in my life.
It is really difficult for a girl like me, who will be clinging to dad always.
Many days, I have gone through depression.
I should be thankful to My husband and brother for helping me to recover from this disaster.
And I should be really thankful to my little wonder, for the wonders she does in my life, without her knowledge. Whatever she does, it makes me happy.
I had a job change for no reason.
Got new friends. Encountered new environment and managers.
This year had taught me many things.
I had really understood how important every relationship is.
And why we should think before hurting anyone by talk.
I could not read as much books as I wanted to read.
I could not travel as many places as I wanted to.
This has been a great and unforgettable year in my life.

Once in a while, we need to think about the happenings in life.

Be grateful what you have in life. Especially people.

With Love,
Vaanadhi

P.S. I could not post this on the last day of 2016, even though I wanted to.
