My HR Blues...

My HR Blues... Real Case Scenario 1 It was a hot day of summer during April and I was waiting for a candidate to come for an interview. Actually I had shortlisted his resume from a sourced list of 10 resumes fitting our requirement for a technical position. He has an excellent track record as was evident from his resume and my earlier telephonic talk with him. But then on that day he got late for the scheduled interview which was aligned with our Technical Manager. After 20 minutes of waiting the Tech Manager got pissed off as he was getting late for a team meeting and our candidate didn’t turned came. Our tech manager simply stands up and rejected the candidate and left for the meeting. I got busy and then suddenly after 15 minutes the candidate turned up at my office sweating profusely. I told my HR Executive to let him freshen up and have something to drink. Afterwards when the candidate came to me, he explained that while coming by auto he faced an accident and then ...

My Tryst with the Lord of Universe: Lord Jagannath of Puri

"14th November" its a date that symbolizes the Children's Day in India. But, this 14th November of year 2010 has a day to reckon with, which marked a sensational awakening inside my little atheist exterior. 12th November 2010, early morning my wife got up from bed with a dream, where she saw both of us together inside the abode of Lord Jagannath of Puri. This was quite a so called invitation from the Lord Himself. It so happened, our marriage took place on 6th June 2010 and it was customary for a newly wedded Hindu couple in Orissa to visit the temple of Lord Jagannath and pay respect to HIM. Also, the whole process of marriage begins with an Invitation to Lord Jagannath. But, as we both (me & my wife) got entangled in social and professional ties, it wasn't possible for both of us to visit Puri, even though we have been in Bhubaneswar, which is very near to Puri. So, this dream got us on our toes and made us to visit Puri which we made on 14th November 2010. It w...

Scorpio: On First Love

Well it is said that Scorpios are better lovers and passionate too. Though I can't comment on any others, I have seen scorpios. So, this time it's for all the people in the globe, who believe in love and passion, the way as I do, are welcome to join and be a part of this community......... FIRST LOVE I never was struck before that hour With love so sudden and sweet Her face it bloomed like a flower And stole away my heart complete My face seemed turned to pale My legs refused to walk away, And when she looked “what could I ail” My life and all seemed turned to clay I never saw so sweet a face As that I stood before My heart has left its dwelling place And could return no more.

In Search of Twilight

IN SEARCH OF TWILIGHT Silent dark night, A smooth breeze is blowing, Whispering………. The thought of you, driving me wild Sitting atop my aisle I search for you, in my soul C’mon, c’mon…….. My heart wants more It was winter, I met you The place…….. Oh!! It’s the World Wide Web It started with a HIT!!! A mere virtual visit…… Then, Started……… A series of mails and replies With links to funny places An invitation for virtual tour Then, it happened……. “Friendship” By summer, this has reached its peak With feelings, emotions, thoughts All intertwined……. You & I, became WE This has all, gone so far It is the belongingness, That matters all And that of loyalty, passion, forgiveness, Plus, lot others that account for……… WE are countless miles away But we meet everyday The WEB as the mediator We share our emotions Things are now gone beyond, And we share a bond That is much more than LOVE Silent dark night, A smooth breeze………… And, Our heart wants more.
