Monica Dhar where are you?!
Why does this friend of ours go into silent mode for such long durations????
Please please go see the movie Dili 6 & tell me how it was , i am looking forward to the movie & may go to see if yr reviews are good..
Another week of enjoyment & then it is back to classes & travelling. I am currently studying Employment law & the language and the ambiguity of it all is getting to me... I have realised that i like to know the black & whites - even if i may be wrong - at least i know what the correct answer is!
Prachi you are awfully quite after Valentine's day - what happened with your medical checkup?! ha ha ..

Zin and Zang
Prachis' question in the emergency break car that we rode in, made me think up my dream jobs.
And here they are
vagabond
Wayfarer
gadabout
wanderer
rover
Gypsy
Since I turned down( just in my head they offered and I declined) a discovery, yatra sort of a job where you goto places, stay at different hotels and yap on TV ....I wondered why???
So here is my reason why- I would want to just explore the places like it or hate ithave my own opinion and flaunt it and not worry about if people would like my opinion or if I had to say good things about Hotel A because I got a complimentary stay, Work on schedule, act and dress a specific way.....
And not be able to have real interaction with the cities what with the camera crew and all following me and Yes everybody would recognize me and be on their best or worst behaviour.
SO I do not regret not having THE DREAM JOB
So what Job....actually a writers' job create my own world and cities (Utopia nagar)
my own set of people who would act react as I want.(what a dictator I am)
The story would be happy with no deceit and evils and no heros' and NO AUDIENCE.
Such is life, you have to live with the YIN AND YANG.
And I say live it with a Yin and Yang a bit of Zing and Zang.

Love and the Stoneman murders
Is it possible to murder stone man ?
I think with love you can.
If you ask me how lets say if the stone man were to fall for this woman
(of course human being - aren't so many of belles waiting for the man )
and the woman rejects his love.
The stone man turns to Dev D and say because we want another story does not find Chanda
then he would surely die and that's how love would murder stone man
Love makes all possible.
Poor stone man, actually poor love.
Because sometimes when it is supposed to happen it doesn't.
And when it is not supposed to happen it happens'
so love simply happens.
So these were my love quotes for the day.
Maybe will come up with a lot many more next year.
***BY THE WAY LETS WATCH DELHI 6 ON FRIDAY *******LET ME KNOW I WILL GO BUY THE TICKETS IN ADVANCE****I AM DYING TO SEE THE MOVIE********
****AND YES ABBY BABYS' BABY TOOO :)))))))))))
Ah!!! love again

Your crisis management skills are upto the mark,
your sensitivity towards us is not kept in the dark,
You give us liberty and our freedom,
You give us enough knowledge that we rule in our kingdom,
You believe in us as we believe in you,
Our love for you is very true,
You lead us all by setting an example,
You are one of one, God's perfect sample,
We love you all mentioned above,
We know that holds true,
But most of all we love you,
Beacuse you are you.
Love and hugs,
The fantastic 4

Educational Psychology..hmmmm Boring blog but i had to share
This is what was studying ...it is good fun coz i am drawing diagram the way we use to in bio ...of the brain.
Frontal lobe / prefrontal Cortex / Hippocampus / Cerebelleum and cerebral yipeeeee i remember :)
Learning various thing abt memory and how it is related to learning.
Lesson for the day : In given list of things we would always remember the 1st item and then the last...the same is applicable when we attend presentation ppl will always remember the beginning and end never the middle.
It is called Primary effect & Recency effect.
Right after a PPT presentation if you ask ppl to recall immediately what is it that you have learnt from this presentation / training they will always say the last thing this is called Recency - Primary effect.
AND MORE OF SUCH STUFF he he he he he
Had to share it with you guys :)
And still at it learning names .....my new one is Piaget's theory to cognitive processes ....i just can not remember it ......and now i know why thanks to the brain diagram ;)

names..
One thing i am not good at is remembering names ...I will know the concept but will not remember the name of the person who came up with the concept. As a trainer one needs know the names.
So these days preparing QRG with all names and work e.g Professor Albert Mehrabian's > Communication theory ,David Kolb's > learning styles model and experiential learning theory (ELT) etc etc etc ..u guys get the drift i am sure.
It's not very exciting task BUT some bits are great. It's good to know Dept Perception - Binocular Disparity and how they are related to training or a good way to introduce a topics.
AND not to forget with some ppl u need to use BIG words to make them understand yr worth ;) which brings me back to our all so very sad education system .....which all of know wht i feel about!
BTW Savy what happened to yoga ?

to be or not to be redundant
Here we go again
In my observation redundancy is inbuilt in the organisation.
It is not because the employee is incompetent, it is because the Management all along
has been incompetent.
All the big fuss about job cuts have happene initially at a stage on positions that were
probabaly not required and were not adding any value to start with.
With the thin margins that the travel industry (or any industry) works on it never was and never will be able to carry any excess baggage.
As far as being redundant is concerned -Remember -it is always a position that becomes redundant and not the employee.
It would be unfair to call people who lost there jobs as incompetent or bad performers.
The near to 100 people who lost there job in our BNE centre, all could not have been
bad performers or incompetent.
It was the Management which was not able to match the P&L.
If the employee was a non performer why the hell was the company paying for him in even in
the better times. Had they paid attention earlier maybe they would have been better equipped to deal with the slowdown turning into recession.
Like big CEO's are saying we need to innovate and take up this oppurtunity to come out
of our comfort zone and look at things we never looked at and probably overhaul the entire
situation.
Much has been said on the 20000 feet and you can find it on google.
At our individual level it is time to prepare to be flexible and add onto our
skillsets and look for husbands :)))))))))))

I am back!
Dear friends!
I am back in Mel & it was 40 to 45 degrees over the last week & infact one of these days the power was also out fr nearly 3 hours - believe me didn't miss India at all - felt i was there anyway! Well i start full day classes for a intensive course, this week & just hope the weather holds up.
Stop thinking so much about the recession, remember good staff will always find jobs - the low performers & white elephants should have been dealt with a long time back, we just keeping delaying the inevitable. Learn from Savy, go spend money on something that is never going to depreciate - Jewellery. Savy i am proud of you - stop buying clothes... where do you find the place to keep the new & the old ones? i should be the one depressed - no money incoming, living off brother not even parents & may have to do another course fr 6 months as awaiting PR & no one will even look at me ws out it, let alone interview me fr a trainees job! ha ha.. yet refuse to get depressed about the situation.
My flight to mel was amazing - i was carrying 90 Kgs of luggage ws a 6 yr old for company and nearly 10kgs worth of supari, etc... felt like a complete idiot.
Well the vacation is finally over & the routine restarts & i am kind of looking forward to it all. Keep writing people so i know all is well!
Savy - belated Happy birthday! tell tell what all you did & what did you buy?
