My Obscure Sorrow

Bloody Hanker Sore………………….

Sore badly sore…….I got the word for it also…It’s Hanker Sore…..

I am Hanker sored!

The massive frustration, that you can burst your bust with the knowledge that you are out of the market now.

Married and with a child too…………….

How dare you even imagine someone let alone see and marvel lady….

That fab fool in gym flexing his muscles, the biker who just vroomed past my car teasing me or that dandy dancer at the party who matched my energy on the bhangra beats; ah…..I am forgetting that photographer with his DSLR who reminded me that traveler in me is sleeping for too long. How can they…have it all and making me feel rotten ,stuck ,Claus trophic ,jammed, webbed and trapped…oh no no no….they left me hanker sored.

I am daring type and have good eyes, that’s not my fault. I am genuine and have good inter personal skills .Smiling comes instinctively to me as I see someone .But it has its handicaps too. What if that the cutie on the other side smiled too, it can bleed you badly to the point that you are almost dead and not dead yet.

Such a typhoon of emotions ; that you need pages and pages to describe it and we had one word for it in the dictionary all this long. What a shame! Not fair…….Oh No….Hanker SoredJ

' To Stop' list

Everyday as I check in office ,I see lots of sticky notes pasted on boards,strewn around wastebaskets.They were yesterday's 'TO DO' lists. Much of accomplished work ,ticked boxes or some not ticked too.A very good way to organize your work and get things accomplished. I have lot to be accomplished in my mind too. But my mind play games.It takes me to the trip of a far away land , land of apprehensions,sometime land of doubts and land of fear too. A dreamland of expectations has been visited a lot by me. Guilt trips are too often for a working mom like me who juggle PTA meets and boardroom meetings. Eureka! Seeing these sticky notes around, made me realize that what We need more is 'TO STOP' list; more than the To Do list to get us ahead with our work. Every morning lets make mental notes as well as visible reminders also of our 'To Stop' list. What I need to tell my mind To Stop doing today is: Stop expecting and start giving Stop Telling an...

Burst the PoP

When Theodore Roosevelt said,' Comparison is the thief of joy' he was explaining the Paradox of Possessions. More you have, the more coveted.No matter how recent model you got someone else will have a better model of a car or a watch. As we purchase something new, we experience the dopamine rush, the sense of achievement but its fleeting. To get that high again we go back to buy more or better, which is a vicious cycle and induces guilt as experienced by alcoholics and drug addicts. What is exciting and alluring becomes a norm in no time. New purchases lead to new expectations and we keep on raising the bar, we look for even better ones. It's a never-ending and is known as PoP-Paradox of Possessions. It's like the bottle of soda pop, once opened it fizzles out. Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, a Harvard study revealed. Along with relationships, Experiences than possessions bring more happiness.

Adaptability for Post Pandemic Careers

The new normal post, Covid 19 is evolving. The work, business, economy; all are transformed. Social connection while maintaining social distancing became the key phrase. Remote and hybrid work, shortening of the supply chains, more local for local, regional for regional is the new usual. Structural changes in the business demand rapid transformation of the skills required to equip new job roles. VUCA discussions have been calling for new skills adaption in leadership but the new normal post covid 19 asks for changes at the graduate level for employability. This has far-reaching implications for higher education in general, and academic advising in particular, because it promises to provide the new paradigm necessary to provoke the paradigm shift of integrating career advising and academic advising called for by Hughey and Hughey in NACADA’s Handbook of Career Advising. The expectation for a lifelong career is no longer realistic because the nature and pace of change in the workpl...
