Ideal Personality at Office

You need to develop a good personality to succeed in professional life. If people do not take you seriously, you may not make growth in your professional career. You need to behave in a sensible and practical manner. Do not become a laughing stock at office. Act in such a way that you get your due respect, esteem, reverence.

Here are some tips and guidelines to build a solid persona.

  1. Behave like a gentleman.
  2. Do not be talkative. Talk up to the point when necessary.
  3. Do not let other dominate you and your decisions. If you don't respond, they will push or force you to do silly and illogical things that you may not like to do.
  4. Do not let anyone to enforce or impose something on you.
  5. Do not accept or admit the things that do not make sense to you blindly.
  6. Ask for the rationale and justification behind any wrong decision or action taken against you.
  7. Do not hesitate or falter to raise your voice against unethical things.
  8. Think straightforward and be fearless.
  9. Be resolve and firm to your opinion if you think you have got a valid point to prove.
  10. Put forward your thought and ideas without fear if you think they are better than other solutions.
  11. Do not hesitate to bring out (point out/ bring forward) any bad processes in the team.
  12. If someone puts pressure, burden or stress on you needlessly, first try to convince your points and hot back or retaliate if required.
  13. Don't get intimidated, daunted, frightened, scared due to your supervisor's scrutiny. Throw the fear out of mind. Do not live in panic and distress. Do not work in miserable conditions.
  14. The ultimate solution to handle irksome boss is to be fearless. Do not care about those who pester you. Do not bother about them. Do not mind them. Disregard and ignore them. Do not pay heed to them. Do not respect them. Disrespect them.
  15. If someone attack you verbally, scold them. Reprimand them. Rebuke and reproach them. Admonish and warn them. Give them the lecture. Punish them by escalating the matter to seniors.

I strongly believe that if you can remember above points, no one can bully, oppress, harass, tyrannize or intimidate you at the office. Differences in opinion are a part of everyday life. The person who knows how to deal with problematic situation can really gain in the debate or argument, fight, row, spat, quarrel, dispute, tiff that follows after confrontation takes place. Sometimes tit for tat might prove quite beneficial, useful, helpful and advantageous. Some people may needle or provoke you prompting you to react violently, aggressively, fiercely and ferociously. But it all depends upon how you respond to it.

Job opportunities in developed countries.

I was looking for a job that could pay me hefty salary. After surfing on internet, I got to know that developed countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Germany offer visas to skilled professionals across the world.
I gathered all information pertaining to the visa processes of all countries.

Below is the highlight of my research that I completed in early 2015.

  1. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Germany offer a visa that allows any skilled professional to work in these countries  for 3 to 5 years. After working for few years, visa holders can apply for permanent visa and citizenship as well.
  2. Canada, Australia, New Zealand requires aspiring professionals to meet certain criteria. For- Example English proficiency, skill evaluation, Experience, Cash (Minimum INR 4 lack), Age, Health and character.
  3. To prove English proficiency, you must take IELTS test and to get your educational documents certified, you must apply for evaluation to authorized organizations in each country. For- Example – If you need to get your software skills assessed in Australia, you must apply to ACS – Australian computer society. If you want to get your education certified in Canada, you should apply to WES- World Education Services.
  4. For Germany visa, you do not need to prove English proficiency. But other factors are important.
  5. Costs for visa applications vary as per the country. For Example – The cost to apply for German job Seeker Visa is approximately INR 0.5 Lack. While cost to apply for the Canada, Australia, New Zealand skilled visas is much higher than Germany. For Australia it costs around INR 2 Lacs. 
  6. You also need to maintain certain amount of money in account at the time of application. In case of Germany, you should have at least INR 4 lacs in your account. For Canada, you need at least INR 8 lacs in your account.
  7. If you get a visa, you need to have enough money to cover the expenses like Air tickets, Apartment rent, food, transportation and other living costs. As per my research, you should have at least INR 6 lacs to be able to survive considering you take 6 months to get a job and start working. But skilled job seekers usually manage to find the job within 3 months very easily in developed countries unless country's economy grappling with the recession.
  8. You will have a tough time surviving in expensive city until you crack an interview and grab the job offer. So you should be ready for the challenge. Another risk factor is that in case you do not get a job within 6 months, you need to return to your country so you should be ready with the backup plan.

Categorization of Human Emotions

There are a lot of human emotions that we get to see, feel and sense in our daily life. In this article, I will analyse all emotions, their sources and remedies.


  1. Happiness (Gladness, bliss, joy, cheerfulness) – These are very common fillings. You often feel happy when something happens that you expect. You get extremely happy when you get some kind of benefit beyond your expectation. For example, if you expect to score 90% marks, you will celebrate. Moreover if you get more than 90% marks, you will be on cloud nine. Happy people feel cheerful, glad, relaxed, satisfied, optimistic, hopeful, positive, pleased, contented and fulfilled.
  2. Excitement – People get excited when partying with loved ones and friends. Excited people feel ecstatic, energetic, aroused, bouncy, nervous and perky. People watching exciting sports game often experience this feeling. They also feel excited when they are extremely happy. Happiness and Excitement are very closely related.
  3. Kindness – Such people are friendly, warm-hearted, loving, open-minded, broad-minded, sympathetic and soft. They are generous and love to help others. They are selfless.
  4. Anger – People get angry when someone tries to test his or her patience. Some people are short-tempered so a little bit of vexing is enough to make them angry. Anger usually makes people upset, mad, annoyed, wrathful, miffed, resentful, irritated, furious and raging.
  5. Scariness (Fearfulness, Scariness, Frightfulness) – This kind of emotion emerges when people feel that something harmful will happen to them physically, psychologically or financially. People grappled with anxiousness feel that something may cause damage to their reputation and status. For example – you feel worried when something does not happen as per the expectation. You feel worried if someone threatens you. Scariness usually makes people tense, nervous, anxious, jittery, frightened, horrified, petrified, terrified and panic- stricken. For example – suppose you are robbed at knife point, you feel scary and terrifying. You may get scared after hearing shocking news which may further sadden you. So scariness and sadness are very closely related to each other.
  6. Sadness (blue, gloom, sorrow, grief) – If your desires are not fulfilled or if you lose something or someone precious to you, you become sad. Sadness grips, rules and clutches your mind. Enviousness and jealousness are other 2 forms of sadness. Some people feel sad when they cannot belong or possess something that they long for due to the lack of money or luck. For example – If your neighbour buys a stylish car, you may get a feeling of enviousness and jealousness. Sad people are often dejected, gloomy, down, grieved, sorrowed, saddened, depressed, distraught, forlorn and heartbroken. Sad people are called to be looking blue. For example – If you lose your wallet, you feel sad as well as worried. Sadness and worriedness are very close feelings.

Transportation woes in Indian Cities

Many Indian cities have been facing serious issues related to the public transportation and private tour operators.

It has been hellish experience for most of the Indians commuting to the office by public transportation mode.

Some of the common issues faced or encountered by people are given below.
1. Delays in arrival of cabs, buses and trains.
2. Immodest conduct and misbehavior of Bus drivers and coordinators.
3. Disorganized, messy, disordered, chaotic, out of sequences  route for pick up and drops.
4. Rash driving.

Buses do not run on time resulting in delays to reach offices and homes. This leads to further issues like impact on deliveries, missing team meetings, arguments and rifts and cracks in relations with managers and so on so forth.

It is very essential that all travelers get transportation services on time. People are forced to wait indefinitely on the streets until crowded buses arrive with passengers hanging on to it.
Another important issue that is worth highlighting is the misbehavior of private cab staffers with people. Cab drivers do not intimate us before their arrival. When People confront them over late arrival, they give premeditated, planned, calculated answers like fuel got over, tire got punctured and traffic snarls. Some drivers have also been found to have been involved in rash driving which may result in accidents and risks to lives of employees. Indian public is travelling with lot of fear and panic everyday due to the possibility of accidents arising out of reckless, careless and neglectful driving.

So is this mess going to end sometime now? I am not sure if Government is going to take a strict action to curb this menace anytime soon or not but we would like to suggest, recommend or propose below solutions to alleviate, ease, lessen, assuage, moderate, soften and reduce the issue, problem or concern.
We have come up with below plan, blueprint, idea or proposal.

  1. Strict instructions should be given to the cab vendors and bus operators to follow the timings seriously.
  2. Drivers should be educated about the importance of good manner, conducts, etiquette, protocol, ethical and humble behavior.
  3. Drivers should examine and find out shortest route before starting the pickups.
  4. Drivers should not speed up the cab and should follow or observe all traffic rules.
  5. More buses and trains must be operated during peak hours when people tend to travel to and fro the offices.
  6. Better roads must be built and existing ones must be repaired removing all pits, potholes and ditches.
  7. People should be encouraged to take public transportation mode.

Woes of new Flat buyers in India.

Everyone dreams of a big beautiful home. But spiralling prices of homes in main cities in India have dampened the moods and sentiments of the prospective home buyers. People have held back their decision to buy homes expecting the price corrections. But I do not think that prices would come down so easily. Due to the nexus of builders and politicians, prices are not driven by demand-supply rule. Builders are sitting on the pile of unsold properties as they do not care even though flats are not sold.
Despite of high prices, many people take a decision to by the dream home. They start searching for the good residential projects. Starting from newspapers to property portals to property brokers to builders to friends, they start gathering information about the under construction projects.
After picking out some projects, buyer visits the site office. Cunning sales personnel are ready to flatter the prospective buyers and show off the amenities of the project in a very polite and showy manner. They will answer all your questions in a positive manner and sometimes even lie to influence and persuade you. Sales personnel are like predators (hunters) waiting to pounce on the preys (victims, targets) – Home Buyers. I have seen cases wherein sales people from even reputed construction companies presenting false information to the buyers to meet their monthly targets.

Here is the list of prominent lies or false promises that were made to some of the home buyers that I spoke to

1. Possession – Many salespersons do not reveal the exact possession date of the flat. Most of the times, They give dates that are few months and in some cases even years earlier then the actual possession date. Sometimes these shrewd goons (salespersons) can you by telling false date at the time of booking and pitting different date in the sales agreement. In some cases, possession was not given even after 3 years post agreed date.
2. Amenities – Buyers are promised of the world class amenities and facilities before they purchase the flat. But after the possession, you may find building constructed with the low quality material without promised or assured amenities.
Many innocent home buyers fall prey to the cunning tactics of these hunters. Buyers put hard earned money to buy homes but what they get in return is absolute anguish in case builder does not keep his words. Many big and small residential projects across India have been reported to be delayed due to one or the other reason.


How this mess impact the consumers?

1. Mental pain - Ask those consumers what kind of ordeal and nightmare they have to pass through if possession does not take place in time. Family member eagerly wait to move in to the new house. They count each day anxiously ahead of the possession. They want to get rid of monthly rents and get free from the clutches of landlords. This period is very miserable and tough for people waiting to move out of the rented houses. Every thought of delayed possession distract their focus leading to additional affliction, stress and depression. Out of frustration, many people resort to violence and even abuse or threaten the builder warning him of dire consequence. But builders are usually very powerful and mighty. They have enough money and resources to fight back. Salesperson who behaved with modesty and humbleness before booking flat show their colours by refuting, counteracting, negating and countering your views. Their earlier cheerful faces now fad showing sulk, frowns and curly lips. Tired of their apathy towards issues, consumers do not show will, guts and courage to challenge them.
2. Financial loss - Buying a flat is a big decision for any middle class family. They put hard earned money into the house. Due to delayed possession, they have to pay rent as well as EMI of the home lone taken from the bank at the same time. More delay means more financial loss and more horrible time.
3. Wastage of Time - Some buyers make future plans as per the promised date but all their plans fall apart due to delays. A lot of significant decisions of their lives rely on the possession. Some may be planning for weddings or some may be planning to celebrate their next birthday in new house. Many emotions are attached to the new house. Buyers are forced to put off their important tasks due to delays causing more agony, torture, distress and pain.

How to avoid getting duped, cheated, fooled, conned or deceived?
1.Read the agreement before you sign it.
2.Take the receipt of all payments you make to the builder.
3.Do not go alone to book the flat. Go with person who knows the construction industry well or has an experience in buying the flat.
4.Get all your doubts clarified before booking a flat.
5.Ask them how they will compensate you in case of delayed possession or how they will tackle any grievances after possession. Undoubtedly,You will get very positive and happy answers at the time of booking.
6.Try to book a flat in a project from builder known for moral and ethical values.

In case your possession is delayed, you can try below options or routes.
1.Take on the builder legally via consumer court.
2.All buyers should come together and hold protests, demonstration and agitations against builder until he bends to your demands. Remember Unity is the strength.
