Labeled? We're abled!

-

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 labels and tags than just being upset about it, and understand that this is all about choice of words by different people.

I'm sure you'll agree that most of the people who get labeled are the ones doing something different or are strong in someway or living their life how they want ignoring the tantrums of society and spectators. So we're labeled when we're abled.

Let's brush up our vocabulary for few of these labels; hope you enjoy reading these.

Arrogant : Knowing his/ her importance
Bossy : Has leadership qualities
Aggressive : Knows how to get it done
Adamant : Refuses to change mind basis people's opinions, a strong decision maker
Boring : Doesn't share interesting stories of their life or take interest gossips
Aloof/ Not friendly : Ensure not everyone has access to their life
Assertive : Able to get their point across & take no bullshit
Rude/ Blunt : Ability to speak out loud what others hide or sugarcoat
Difficult : Ability to save self from manipulation or exploitation
Careless : Ability to prioritize things as they feel right, not basis what is told
Awkward : Ability to choose own choice & taste
Shameless : Living life on their own terms

Relatable? So next time when you're labelled, tagged or hashtagged 😉... remember that only the abled ones get labeled..

Be proud of the choices you make!

The damage by "SORRY"

-

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

Judging Women? No thanks!

Being judged?😒 Did I hit your wounded spot? Take few minutes to watch this video, I promise you're in for a surprise. Hope you were able to relate like I did. Aren't we, women judged for our abilities, capabilities, choices, intelligence & ambitions. We go through this every single day unless God is really kind and bless us with extra love someday! No matter how many times women have proved themselves in almost every area of work, even in male dominant sectors, reached the heights of establishments in various forums, be it corporate, business, politics, agriculture, hospitality, e-commerce and many more, yet women as leaders, engineers, finance smart, athletes - the fact is that is not easily digested. Let me share couple of my own experiences, happened some time ago. I found my old pictures from 2006 & 2008 around three months back. In first picture, I was awarded by Kiran Bedi & Kiran Khair for "Excellence in Academics", in AHA Delhi, and other one was

Your CREDIT still due?

-

Do you have an unpaid credit? Think again. Don't worry, I'm not referring to your credit card payment due or any other bill for that matter. However I am trying to raise an issue, a crime, an unethical practice which happens a lot, with all of us but always gets covered up, ignored or left out so easily as if it never happened or it didn't matter. People don't even talk about it. I wonder why it even happens. We  know it's true and it's wrong, you do it or don't do it, someone else does it or doesn't do it, you are the victim or not but it's there, in the air. My head really bangs trying to understand how and why this practice is silently accepted as if it's normal or okay or kind of a "ritual".  The cause of these actions can be simply identified as to be in the spotlight, show power, showcase intelligence, beat the competition, claim that reward in the eyes of superiors, but it definitely raise questions on the ethics & culture.
