What actions should HR and business leaders take to curb mental harassment at work? Share your thoughts.
A poem which expresses deep concern over the changing face of mother earth and the urgent need to find solutions.
Deep in the ocean there is so much clutter ,
Choking and engulfing it’s treasures.
Do you remember the notes of the burbling river,
the dance of the marigolds fluttering across the creek?
The gentle caress in your face that ruffled your hair?
Oh! it was the happy and ever so gentle breeze.
The one which is now just a haze,
a mist that you despise and hate to breathe.
The one that gives you only sneeze and wheeze.
Do you have memories of a picnic across the magical stream,
Where the frogs croaked, fishes swam and ducks quacked.
Does it all sound like a fairy tale dream?
Look into the numerous skyscrapers piercing the clouds,
Strangulating her neck with putrid refuse,
drying out her salt-less tears.
It is the numerous unconscious choices we make,
that plays an integral part of these chain mistakes.
For once, let us all do our choicest part,
and make this world a spectacular piece of art,
Yet again!

I wanted to scream with excitement that my daughter chose to write about her ambition and aspirations over everything else first. To me, this was one of those parenting 'win' moments.
My daughter turned eight years old in January, and among the various gifts she received from friends and family was an absolutely beautiful personal journal for self-growth. A few days ago, she was exploring the pages when she found a section for writing a letter to her future self. She found this intriguing and began jotting down her thoughts animatedly.
My curiosity piqued and she could sense it immediately. She assured me that she would show me the letter soon, and lo behold, she kept her word.
I glanced at her words, expecting to see a mention of her parents in the first sentence. But, to my utter delight, the first thing she had written about was her AMBITION. Yes, the caps here are intentional because I want to scream with excitement that my daughter chose to write about her ambition and aspirations over everything else first. To me, this was one of those parenting ‘win’ moments.
It's well known how diplomatic and professional Priyanka Chopra is. Why would she want to stir the hornet’s nest when everyone’s happy in their personal space?
Priyanka Chopra (PC) did something completely out of character. She’s usually known for being articulate and mostly diplomatic, unless she wants to give sassy comebacks to people who try to put her on the spot or ‘in her place’.
She’s someone who’s never fought the establishment because she understands you can’t win against it anyway. But you can work around it to get your way to the top. She’s a thorough professional and team player.
For someone like Priyanka Chopra who’s never played victim so far, to admit being the scapegoat of petty politics in the Hindi film industry was refreshing. It’s good to see this unfiltered, vulnerable side of her for a change. PC revealed one of her reasons for shifting to Hollywood on the podcast, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.
