I attended Second All India Scouts and Guides Jamboree when
I was 14 years. This was held at the most beautiful and famous “Pink City”
Jaipur in Rajasthan. I had a wonderful time from 27th December to 31st December
1956. More than 10,000 Scouts and lovely Guides from all over India
participated. The weather was pleasantly cold there. I had to stay in the tent with
my school mates. Morning 6 use to be a wakeup call on trumpet an Army Bigul.
Within 45 minutes I used to get ready and reach parade ground. Witnessing 10000
Scouts and charming Guides in uniform and colourful flags for parade was a glamorous
scene. Commands were given on loud speakers with the background music of band.
What a fabulous music and parade scene. It was charming. Evenings were the loveliest time when all were allowed to stroll in the entire area, meet new
people, interact and make friends. I met an Anglo Indian girl of Assam
contingent. She was very attractive and appealing with her sexy looks. I madly
started liking her. I asked her if we could be pen friends. She gladly agreed and
with a pleasant smile and we exchanged our addresses. I was thrilled with
excitement. Wow...Having such a beautiful pen friend I was flabbergasted with
such a joy, fun and excitement that is beyond words.
This is one of my happiest school days memories I love to
cherish always.
Before the year 2009 I didn’t know about YOUTUBE. By
profession I am an Engineer and was employed in cross-country petroleum
pipelines. My attention was always toward Flow and Pressure in order to
optimize the flow rate of the petroleum liquids. I knew only about “U” Tube Manometers used
for differential pressure measurement with flow meters and like.
Friends: - One fine day my friends said “Hero! You are
shinning on U tube, we saw you playing Harmonica in a video.
I: - Phew U tube is an Engineering instrument for
differential pressure measurement in fluid mechanics and not a camera or
Television. How can I be seen playing harmonica on U tube?
Friends: - O gosh no manometer “U” Tube it is one of an
application of Google known as Y for Yellow, O for Orange and U for University
that is “YOUTUBE” where you can publish your video and the world can see you.
I: - I saw my video on YouTube on my laptop. OMG... I
recalled that Upon an invitation from my friends from Ahmedabad, on 25-09-2009,
I once played Harmonica in the Band Stand of Kamati Garden Vadodara. My friends
liked it, recorded it and published it on YouTube.
I was flabbergasted with joy, fun and excitement. Since then
I started making videos on the subject like Spoken English, IELTS, TOEFL, Art,
Drawing-Painting, Cooking and also Harmonica recitals and publishing them on
YouTube.
Wow... Twice I received money from Google... How cool... Now
I regularly post videos

To
discover and strike a balance between work and personal life is an art. In
spite of the unending quest for 'Work-Life Balance' it has been churning in our
mind as to what does it exactly mean?
In
the olden days business and personal life were distinct. Now the scenario has
changed due to globalization and cut throat competition. People devote very high
quantum of their time in business and bare minimum or negligible time for
personal life. This encroachment of work in personal life and vice versa is a
highly alarming unhealthy situation.
Work
– Life Balance is an art a skill that one has to learn and practice. Work Life
Balance conceptually involves Planning, Prioritization and Execution on business
part and on Life Part it is Health, Relaxation, Leisure, Pleasure, Spiritual
development and devoting necessary time for family, children and dependent old
parents.
Practically
it is impossible to devote equal number of hours on each of the above
dimensions. However scheduling and executing in a way that customers as well as
family members are satisfied is a real balance. One has to be most disciplined
in this. One must remember that needs change from time to time hence one must
be flexible enough to wisely adjust his or her schedule and execute.
An
unmarried fresh Graduate, Engineer, Doctor, Architect and MBA has the priority
of his or her career and business or job for earning. No sooner he gets married
and has children, the need changes and taking care of his or her spouse and
kids is an added responsibility. Upon children’s growing up their schooling,
college and professional education gets added into the responsibility. This
need changing scenario is an ongoing process. One has to fulfil his or her
responsibility toward customers and family members in such a balanced way that none is dissatisfied.
At
the same time the Earning member / Businessman / Professional also increases in
the age and his or her needs change too. One must schedule in a way that his or
her needs of Relaxing, Entertainment, Amusement, Celebrations, Joy of living,
Pride, and Love are fulfilled failing
which one cannot perform in profession
to his or her optimum efficiency or
effectiveness. While we are striking for a work life balance, we do not
merely balance our profession and family, we are also balancing our mental and
status quo and thereby balancing our emotional intelligence, which is the
worldly ability to manage ourselves and to handle others. This benefits the
company in the long-run.
On
the other hand corporate world today has become exceedingly demanding. Because
of tough competition and 24/7 modality of working, professionals come across
many health and social problems like increasing number of divorces, infertility
due high stress levels, advent of nuclear families and many more. Many entrepreneurs
and big business people in the rat race of success, name and fame have to lead
a one way life and they are unhappy because they totally lose the “Life
Balance”. To cope the employees are
given the freedom to have their own ways of doing the work, even to an extent
of freedom to work from home or any other location where employee is on
tour. They are given the assignments
with deadlines and they can have their own schedule as far as they are meeting
the deadlines.
Similarly,
women work force now constitutes a significant percentage of the total work
force in any organization today. Women executives have to deal with- running a
home, doing daily chores like cooking/cleaning, raising family and handle the
tight deadlines at home and work. The society over the years has recognized
women's need to legal and financial independence. But the transition to
motherhood still continues to have practical and emotional consequences. It
also affects their professional stature when they return to work. Some
organizations have gone to the extent of involving the families of the employees
by introducing maternity leaves / paternity leaves and various holiday packages
and insurance schemes. Organizations now focus on grooming their employees who
are now not considered merely a work force but regarded as the 'Human Capital'
of the organization “The Most Important and Valuable Asset”.
In
nutshell, corporate have realized the importance of the employee-work-life
balance and its importance in the efficiency and effectiveness of the
employees. They help facilitate work-life balance for their employees through suitable
work-life training programs. In offices also, they provide friendly work
atmosphere and necessary refreshments.
Do's and Don’ts in “Work –
Lifestyle Balance”
1.Plan your agenda:Begin your day taking care of the
small things you have to do at home. Little planning is essential. If you take
care of small things you got to for home, you won’t be stressed while at work.
Strike a work-life balance by evaluating your work-home relationships like
listing out the amount of time you are spending at work and home.
2.Organize:Everything in your business
should be set up using logical systems so anyone needing anything can find it
when they need it.
3.Prioritize:
The secret to booking your
time effectively boils down to knowing what's important and what can wait. Ask
questions that help you determine the level of urgency. Use the Task Matrix
4.Don't overbook: Don't try to plan on doing
too many things. Things rarely go according to a prearranged agenda.
5.Be Productive:Concentrate on work when you
are at work. Don’t worry about home life. Try to be most productive.
6.Learn to say no: The milestone to effective
time management is to know that you don't have to agree to everything with everyone.
No one can sail in two boats at the same time. Use your priority criteria to
identify requests that simply aren't worth your time. Politely say “No”.
7.Everything can’t be perfect: Do what you can and enjoy whatever time you spend more pleasantly or
productively.
8.Focus on Home Life:While you are enjoying your
home life, avoid intruding into work life by checking emergency e-mails or
answering work- related phone calls. The best way to focus on home life only.
Remember that striking a work-life balance is a continuous process, and not
one time job. Work and home life should be balanced. The absence of which may
give rise to soaring stress levels.
In nutshell, corporate have also realized the
importance of the employee-work-life balance and its importance in the
efficiency and effectiveness of the employees. They help facilitate work-life
balance for their employees through suitable work-life training programs. In
offices also, they provide friendly work atmosphere and necessary refreshments.

It is an old and famous saying that, “Time and tide wait for
none”. So, it is very important to optimally utilise the time and avoid
procrastinating.
In universities, time management skills are taught because our life
is essentially a race against time. The time is one of the most precious
resources available to us. And we have many projects on hand to complete within
short time. Hence prioritization of work is important in order to avoid waste
of time.
Procrastination is common and wide spread in schools and colleges.
Students neglect their studies during their school term and wait till the last
minute to prepare for examinations. They spend great deal of time in playing
games, chatting, outing, watching movies and unnecessary shopping thereby they
lose track of time and land panicking in the examination hall in the last
moment and don’t fare well.
Toppers usually are consistent in their studies. They manage
the right balance between studies and play. They are well prepared for the
exams and perform well. They never panic at the last moment.
Time is just like a river; it keeps flowing forward and never
turns back. You may delay your work and wait for the last minute to complete
your tasks at hand, but time will continue to move forward.
Farmers keep a close watch of time and follow strict schedules for
ploughing, planting and harvesting. Their schedules are according to the
weather. If they delay their planting or harvesting time it will result into a
disaster for them and the losses so
sustained are irreparable.
Everyone must value the time and not misuse it. As per a famous
and old saying, “To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed an
examination. To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who gave birth to
a premature baby. To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who just
missed his train.
In nutshell, to realize the value of one second, ask someone
who just escaped from an accident. Time is the most precious resource. Even one second of our life is valuable. So,
don’t waste it. Respect the time and the time respects you.

At the birth the mind of an infant is the clean slate. As
the time goes by, step by step the subject learns new things and gains
knowledge. With the help of his or her insight one learns to perceive and make
sense of the world around him or her and perform with the individual’s
knowledge. Clearly, wisdom is not guaranteed by birth. Conscious effort from
the individual is required. Greater the effort greater is the gain of knowledge
to an individual.
Wisdom may be described in various different ways like (a)
the knowledge gained by having many experiences in life, (b) knowledge of what
is proper or reasonable (c) the ability to think and act using knowledge,
experience (d) understanding and common sense. Whatever way wisdom is defined,
fundamental to the wisdom is that it takes time and comes with experience,
development of the ability to think, analyse, judge and act.
Wisdom is not something that one is born with but one
acquires it over time. A person to gain wisdom has to make efforts to
understand people, things and events and then apply his or her perception,
judgment and action to the projects. For an example: Chanakya, Siddhartha,
Aristotle and Plato are very renowned for acquiring wisdom. Though they weren't
born wise, but they gained wisdom over time and with a lot of their effort.
Years in the life bring experience. Knowledge with
experience is wisdom. Nonetheless life is short to experience everything by
self hence one has to depend on the experience of others. However, an
individual can, certainly, benefit from the wisdom of ages passed on in the
form of legends, stories, books etc to learn from them. In such a scenario too,
the wisdom of ages can only act as a guiding light. It is up to the individual
to apply and use the wisdom to suit to his/her position and gain from it.
Wisdom is not the by-product of age alone. One may be old
enough and still unwise. Oscar Wilde said, " With age comes wisdom, but
sometimes age comes alone.” Wisdom
requires effort and hard work with patience.
In nutshell, wisdom cannot be taught or transferred from
one to other. The university buildings
impart knowledge and not wisdom. Only when the person takes pains to make
efforts with hard work, he or she gains wisdom and can be recognized as a wise
person.
