Know Thy Implicits

The way we experience reality through people depends (one of various factors) on our implicit attitudes and beliefs that we are either unwilling to accept or unaware of their existence. As a leader or as a manager, one has to KNOW one's implicits so that one can better/manage them. For we all are judgemental, biased and prejudiced to some extent. But where and to what extent is to be found out so that you can make better less biased decisions in personal relationships and in professional arena. So KNOW THYSELF !

First Phase of My Mission

I am in a place where I wake up late but greet seasons early than what I used to. I'm experiencing air, temperatures, time and people in a new way. I spend co-opeting 9-10 hours a day with 42 mortals from 21 countries on a land situated between lofty Alps and blue Mediterranean. In such a setup, one is unstoppably delighted by the joy of unique learning and by the complex sensation of very living..so I am.
Discussions, debates, presentations..., which generate million lumens per milli joules, span across everything you can think of to run the world. It is a confluence of diverse minds communicating in variety of accents the same human language. Strategy, Change, Leadership, Future, People, Complexity, Counter-Intuition, Decision making, Markets, Paradigms, Global, Fun, Innovation, Crisis, Ethics, Creative-distortion, bla bla bla and one more bla..are the words of our vocabulary!!! In this process, out of 42 potential friends, a lucky few have become my acquaintance..(Over action ..isn’t it??). Minh, an alternative finance professional from Paris; Ismael, very successful yet down-2-earth rich farmer from Niger; Yannick, semiconductor business contractor from Antipolis; Liz Borredon, an old professor and also a corporate counselling and coaching expert from UK...

I am learning and unlearning a lot. I feel like an astronaut experimenting with all that he has learnt ( learning), implemeting in outer space!! Sometimes I feel like a kid learning something for the first time. I can sense the new current of curiosity and wonder in me. One morning, i woke up with a fresh leash of realization where my inertia of taking-granted of many aspects of life was gone. I don’t know how long it lasts...but i wish it has a lasting effect. Sometimes, new knowledge and comprehension disturbs, if not distorts my equilibrium....painfully enabling me to reach a stable state at a higher plane...And sometimes, day demands more energy..All in all, I see I'm becoming more (complex, stable, able and strong). It’s also strange that I'm progressing towards the "Meaning" in this land of Materialism & Indulgence!!!?? At present, I am enjoying a break for 9 days....:)

P.S: I cannot believe myself..I'm cooking my food, washing and ironing my clothes, cleaning my place, ..ohhhhh!!!!! I'm looking at each Euro....!!! Its so funny if I look back at the way I treated my Indian "Lakshmi"....ahahe:)

Dream-Envied Reality

I realized to my dismay that its been a long long time I had a whole hearted and deep laugh. What’s the use of all these months I counted without loud and unstoppable laughter??...I didn’t want to write...but my digital pen tugs at me now and then.
I realized that it was HAPPINESS that happened to me in August. It was such a lovely, sentimental and special time of my life. I loved all that partying, nonsense, walks to remember, songs, smell..everything..laughter.sits in moonlit ground, time spent with/given to me. (Apart from my family), I FELT others love for me, I realized that I am loved and cared too...whole heartedly. I realized that there are few people who missed me truly. When somebody loves truly and intensely, its hard to contain it. I just believe this. Even the most unemotional’s eyes are moistened and the treatment changes exclusive to you...
I could see truth and genuinity in those tears and words.(Ignoring all those superficial and easy tears from girls), there were some real ones..I love you Soumya, Pri, Kavya, Suman, KrisMo, Raj, Ricci & Prasad. I miss my uncle too. No need to tell about my mom, nanna and avva. I am very very clear who loves me and for whom I must live for.. meaningfully...Because living for oneself and living for those who doesn’t even give a damn to your deep love and concern for them, is so useless and meaningless...You give but little when you give of your possessions or gifts. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Life is moments of "real talks,true laughter, smiles, a walk, a learning, a helping hand, or music".....painted on the canvas of time with bestest loved ones... ”---The P
