Expressions : Freedom & Power

Did the title shock you? Maybe a little. You must be thinking, how can a sorry do any damage? The word is usually used to apologize. Afterall, it's the simplest and easiest band-aid used by people for anything and everything they do everyday. "Sorry" is kind of best available and affordable glue used to fix broken things, just like fevi-quick. (No, I'm not promoting the product) I do understand that we are all human beings, and we would definitely make mistakes and hence we should be open and receptive to apologies and apologize wherever required. And saying sorry is the best way, but is it really? As per the definition, the word sorry has two meanings:- 1. Feeling regret or penitence 2. Feeling sad or distressed through sympathy with someone else's misfortune, used to express compassion And I am going to refer and focus on the first meaning in this blog and that's way more important. I remember my days from the Aviation & Hospitality management, where our...

Let's start with, what is "Vocalism"? As  per the dictionary:- vocalism/ˈvəʊk(ə)lɪz(ə)m/noun T he use of the voice or vocal organs in speech. It seems simple and easy for many of us, like why even talk about it... Isn't it something any person does since birth, even if it's for just crying. Y ou are right. However, as we grow up, from an infant to child, then land into teenage and finally adulthood knocks the door, we learn or at least try to manage our conversations.  The ability & power of any human being, to speak is conditioned, modulated, influenced and controlled over all these years. Therefore we suppress ourselves in many situations.  Now many of the people say silence is golden, or it's better to ignore certain talks, any conflicts because they've been taught to do so. I'm sure whoever taught them this wished well, so no offence.  However, have you ever came across the moments when you felt like - I wish I spoke up, I should have raised m...

I really had to gather all my courage and confidence to write this, and a little more to share this with you. The world we live in is beautiful and wonderful, all because of the people we're living with. We share our lives with so many people directly or indirectly on daily basis, and we impact the surrounding lives too.  Over the years, I realized that a lot of things or events happen around us which are uncomfortable and disturbing to our minds, and yet we tend to live with it. This happens in all areas like personal, professional and social life, but we either ignore it or move on with it despite the feeling of unsettled. If you are an over or deep-thinker like me, then you might understand the feeling & thoughts we go through when someone behaves differently with us. These behaviour can be manipulation, selfishness, suppression etc. I don't know much of heavy words but I also go through this as a human being, a normal one like you. Someway or the other, we all are benef...

Disclaimer : This write-up is not about money spending habits & investments. It's about YOU! It's no surprise that we all relate the words like "spend" and "invest" with money. I t's usual to think like that so do not worry, this is not another investment scheme presented to you but let's take our time to talk about you today. Let's start with couple of questions.  Do you have assets?  Do you invest?  H ave you ever counted the assets you have? If you haven't done this lately, let's do it now.  First, just think about the top 5 of your assets that you own.  Then arrange your list from high to low basis the ones with highest rate of returns. If you're thinking, I have nothing, I don't own any assets as I'm not working, I'm dependent on someone or I'm in debt and so on. Th en let me tell you that you can be anyone, doing anything from being  a corporate employee to a government official, delivery boy or driver, banke...

We all have been labelled in some way at some point of time in life. Did you like it? Of course not. Same pinch 😉 A lot of times, people label us, tag us and put us in tiny boxes of their heads. Throughout our lives, people attach labels to us, and those labels reflect and affect how others think about our identities as well as how we think about ourselves. While I agree that no one has the right to label someone unnecessarily, but practically it's impossible to stop anyone from doing it. You may answer back or confront these people, groups, make them realize their mistake, but it doesn't guarantee that it won't happen again, not on your face at least. Labels are not always negative; they can reflect positive characteristics, set useful expectations, and provide meaningful goals in our lives. Let's get into depth of these, there are all kinds of labels like he's “arrogant”, she's too “bossy”, how “shameless” they are, etc. Try to find the reason behind these la...
