When: 31 BC
Where: Rome and Egypt
What’s So Special about Their Love: These two had a love so strong, war was waged against them to break them up. When Mark Antony left his wife, Octavia, for the mesmerizing Cleopatra, Octavia’s brother Octavian brought the army of Rome to destroy them. These two lovers were so entranced with each other that they committed suicide rather than be apart- the ultimate Romeo and Juliet true love story.
I like both the movies MunnaBhai MBBS and Lage Raho MunnaBhai.
I dont know about the Gandhi`s political decisions but I believe in his teachings to the nation.
Empowerment doesn't mean smoking, drinking, exploring sexuality (like shown in Netflix's She) only, it means fighting against all the odds and coming out on top. Its about setting goals and achieving them, its about becoming A WINNER !!
Women’s empowerment can be defined to promoting women’s sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others.
It is closely aligned with female empowerment – a fundamental human right that’s also key to achieving a more peaceful, prosperous world.
Below mentioned are 7 principles can be used to empower women in the marketplace, workplace and community.
The seven Principles are:
Principle 1: Create high-level corporate leadership for gender equality
Principle 2: Treat all people fairly at work, respecting and supporting non-discrimination and human rights
Principle 3: Ensure the health, wellbeing and safety of all workers, whether male or female
Principle 4: Promote education, training and professional development for women
Principle 5: Implement supply chain, marketing practices and enterprise development that empower women
Principle 6: Champion equality through community initiatives and advocacy
Principle 7: Measure and report publicly on progress to create gender equality
In this rapidly changing corporate
culture, diversity, equity and inclusivity are becoming the most sought-after
values. While we all understand why diversity is required and its benefits to
the company, statistics show that most of the companies do not have enough
diversity. Diversity in the workplace results in new ideas, innovations, and
better profitability.
As per Boston Consulting, among
Fortune 500 companies, only 24 are women. Same study indicates there are only
three black and three gay and lesbian CEOs among 500 CEOs.
Look around you, does your company
appreciate and honor multiple cultural and religious practices? Does your
company harbor bias or prejudices? Today most employees are looking for an
inclusive and diverse workplace that benefits the company. An equal opportunity
company is what all employees look for. But how do we achieve this? And, before
changing the ideology on Diversity,
Equity & Inclusion values in company, First let us ask
ourselves, being a woman, are women
uniquely poised to excel at each role given to her?
I don’t think women are so different
from men that they are better or worse for the job in terms of traits or skill
sets. I think
we must look at people individually and see what he or she brings to the table
in terms of assets.Women for the senior leadership role should
have a right blend of personality traits, skills, and understanding of
compliance regulations and concepts.
As we adapted to COVID-19 new normal and I reflect on the lessons
learned, my biggest takeaway was the need to improve our planning. A global
viral pandemic was an emerging threat that had been recognized for years. While
we continue to manage the consequences of the pandemic, we must also find the
discipline to start preparing for future threats. I’m challenging myself to
improve our readiness for the next big disruption. By being ready for the next
crisis, I mean being organizationally ready in every way: financially,
operationally and culturally.
I recommend four critical behaviors to support our new,
contemporary culture. We need to develop a deeper understanding and incorporate
these behaviors into our work habits. These behaviors strengthen and improve the
best part of our culture and ourselves. We are calling these behaviors as our Ways of
Working forward:
Learn
and adapt
Collaborate
and share openly
Honor
commitments
Respect
and value others
By doing this an organization thinking about Diversity,
Equity & Inclusion will be challenged and reformed significantly. Although I
am proud of our culture and what I have achieved together so far in this
journey, but there is more work we can do to drive greater long-term success
for our organization. let’s
practice our new Ways of Working in supporting Diversity,
Equity & Inclusion values and hold each other accountable and transform our
organization from “good
to great.”
We must foster a culture where every voice is heard and there are
no favorites. It is also crucial that there is no gender pay disparity and
companies must be transparent about it to foster the employee's trust. People
from different backgrounds and generations have very different perspectives.
So, embrace these different thinking patterns and you will see new ideas and
innovations. Diversity and inclusivity are not about checking some boxes but
about creating a culture that inspires diversity and inclusivity.
As
2020 comes to an end and we look back, the year has thrown innumerable
challenges, but we stood strong, amidst all odds. We continued to
keep our focus on our commitments, day on day,
through the year. Each one has demonstrated our core values in supporting
each other, doing the right thing, while working from home for the most part of
the year. I would like to take this opportunity to specially thank all the efforts put in ensuring
disciplined execution by our health workers, support staff, Police force, Vegetable, Milk & Grocery Vendors, while our family steered through these
challenging times.
For whole India health and safety remain the top priority and we continue to take all possible
measures, as we navigate through this pandemic. Special thanks to all loved
ones at home for their remarkable support during these difficult times. I really wish speedy recovery for those who got affected
by this pandemic and we will continue to provide all possible support.
A
BIG Thank You to Narendra Modi Government for his focus, innovation, dedication, and passion, to
make this happen and help us sail through these unprecedented times under his wise leadership. I encourage you to make best use of this time and take a well-deserved time off, to
recharge, and spend quality time with your loved ones.
With this note Let us ring in 2021 with lots of optimism for a new tomorrow. Cheers to everyone & have a prosperous new year. Wishing
you and your family a very happy new year and the best of health and happiness!
Much hyped round of discussions going on WFH going to be New Normal and to be continued in 2021 has various aspects and let me put my two cents and views on this topic.
And Before coming to the point, I would like to stress upon Multi Tasking which is a myth as the switching of attention is a 4 step
process that necessarily happens sequentially. And that's why we find ourselves
saying - "Now where was I?' when interrupted in the middle of something.
He says - A person who is interrupted takes 50% longer to accomplish a task and
makes up to 50% more errors!
To me this is affecting many even more severely
while working from home. Lack of a quiet and undistracted work area keeps
robbing us of that focused attention we want to give to work and finish off
tasks. Leaving us inefficient and forcing us to work longer hours.
Also, WFH is asking us to use home premises which is not originally meant to focus and concentrate like office setup as we are using spaces made for some other purpose of leisure and rest.
In a recent Linkedin post by Alok Kejriwal, I came to know "Staying Happy is INCREDIBLY HARD! It's so EASY to feel low & miserable".
Do a quick check yourself. Think of the day & what % of your mind has been occupied by worries, stress, guilt, pressure, jealousy, incompleteness VS the % of the time you've felt delighted or just happy. It's a miserable feeling being unhappy, but that's how we feel most of the time (save weekends).
Genetically, I think we are WIRED to worry. Imagine if we were sharing a Cave & stepped out without worrying. We would most probably get eaten by a lion or bitten by a cobra. Over the years, 'what will happen' has manifested as a core thought. Even though we may NEVER get eaten or bitten, we have imbibed the wonderful habit of worrying.
These are hacks that work wonderfully to LIFT your mind from low to high:
- 98% of our worries never fructify. But we spend 98% of our time worrying about them. Think through this.
- Reflect on your journey so far. Are you better off today vs 1 year or 5 years? If YES, rejoice. That's REAL tangible progress.
- When you envy someone, also envy their struggle & hardships (NOT known to you). If exposed, your envy may turn to pity!
- WORK hard on staying happy. Like fitness, its a HABIT you will need to cultivate.

The credit for almost all the great
inventions and discoveries so far has always rested with the Western world. We
have read about them in schoolbooks, heard about them on television or in
movies and talked about it tirelessly. Sadly, it’s the knowledge and teaching
of our ancient science that has taken a beating. Just because their
achievements were well-documented, it doesn’t mean that they were the first
ones to do that. Here are 10 facts, as found in our written and oral
literature, about the supremely advanced ancient Indian science that you were
never taught in school.
1) Sushruta Samhita, The Oldest Medical
And Surgical Encyclopedia Known To Mankind
Written during the 6th century BC, the
Sushruta Samhita contains 184 chapters with descriptions of 1,120 illnesses,
700 medicinal plants, 64 preparations from mineral sources and 57 preparations
based on animal sources. Its author Sushruta is also considered to be the first
ever human to perform medical surgeries on humans. The book also has vast
details on embryology, human anatomy, along with instructions for venesection,
the positioning of the patient for each vein, and the protection of vital
structures (marma). The oldest documented evidence (9000 years) for the
drilling of human teeth of a living person was found in Mehrgarh along with the
evidences of orthopedic surgeries.
2) The First Ones To Acknowledge The
Existence Of The Solar System
While history credits Copernicus for
proposing the heliocentric model of our solar system, it was the Rig Veda that
first noted the central placement of the sun and other planets orbiting it in
the solar system.
Rig Veda 1.164.13
“Sun moves in its orbit which itself is
moving. Earth and other bodies move around sun due to force of attraction,
because sun is heavier than them.”
Rig Veda 1.35.9
“The sun moves in its own orbit but
holding earth and other heavenly bodies in a manner that they do not collide
with each other through force of attraction.”
3) Mahabharata Mentions The Concept Of
Cloning, Test Tube Babies, And Surrogate Mothers
The fact that in the Mahabharata, Gandhari
had 100 sons is pretty well known. But what’s unknown is the scientific
explanation behind her giving birth to a 100 kids. Each ‘Kaurava’ was created
by splitting the single embryo into 100 parts and growing each part in a
separate kund (container). This is identical to the cloning process today. The
birth of Karan, who was ‘born from the “characteristics adopted from men of her
choice” also has striking resemblance to the present-day test tube baby
concept.
4) ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ Precisely Calculates
The Distance Between Earth And Sun
“Yug sahasra yojana par bhanu,
leelyo taahi madhura phal jaanu”
The above excerpt is from the Hanuman
Chalisa and translates to: ‘[When] Hanuman travelled thousands of kilometers to
swallow it thinking of it as a fruit’. The word-to-word translation of the same
excerpt reveals the distance that Hanuman travelled.
1 Yuga = 12000 years. 1 Sahsra Yuga =
12000000 years. Also, 1 Yojan = 8 miles.
Hence, “Yug Sahsra Yojana”, the first 3
words mean 12000*12000000*8 = 96000000 miles or 153,600,000 kilometers.
Interestingly, the actual distance from earth to sun is 152,000,000 kms.
Bafflingly, there’s error of just around 1%.
5) Indian Vedas Figured Out Gravity Before
The West Did
Yet again, way before Isaac Newton
explained gravity, ancient Indian scholars had already figured out how it
worked.
Rig Veda 10.22.14
“This earth is devoid of hands and legs,
yet it moves ahead. All the objects over the earth also move with it. It moves
around the sun.”
6) We Already Knew About The Speed Of
Light
Sayana, a vedic scholar from the 14th
century once said, "With deep respect, I bow to the sun, who travels 2,202
yojanas in half a nimesha." A yojana is 9 miles; a nimesha is 16/75 of a
second. Therefore, 2,202 yojanas x 9 miles x 75/8 nimeshas = 185,794 miles per
second or 2,99,000 kilometers per second. That’s astonishingly close to the
real ‘scientifically-proven’ 3,00,000 kilometers per second figure. It’s often believed
that his source was none other than the Vedas.
7) Vedas Explained The Science Behind The
Rather ‘Feared’ Eclipses
While the world feared the eclipses and
associated all types of paranormal occurrences with the phenomenon, Vedas
already had a very proper and scientific explanation. The below excerpt is also
proof that they knew that the moon wasn’t self illuminated.
Rig Veda 5.40.5
“O Sun! When you are blocked by the one
whom you gifted your own light (moon), then earth gets scared by sudden
darkness.”
8) They Knew The Exact Length Of A Year
Ancient Indians used 4 ways to measure the
length of a year namely ‘Nakshatra’, ‘Savana’, ‘Lunar’ and ‘Saura’. Saura was
one method based on the tropical zodiac that defines the seasons: equinoxes,
solstices, year-halves, and months in relation to the (six) seasons. As
unbelievable as it sounds, Saura estimates the length of a year to be exactly
365 days, 6 hours 12 mins and 30 seconds.
9) Aryabhatta’s Deduction Of The Value Of
Pi
According to documented history, the
irrationality of pi was proved in Europe only in 1761 by Lambert. The great
Indian mathematician Aryabhata worked on the approximation of the value of pi (
), and concluded that is irrational and its value is approximately 3.1416. He
did this in 499 Common Era at the age of 23.
10) First Ones To Measure The
Circumference Of Earth
Sadly, the Greeks enjoy the credit for this discovery while it
was actually Aryabhata, who deduced a formulation proving that the Earth is
rotating on an axis. Then, by estimating the value of pi to be 3.1416, he
concluded that the circumference of Earth was approximately 39736 kilometers.
The actual circumference of Earth, as deduced by scientists today, is 40,075
kilometers. How freaking cool is that!
