Managing Expectation of all

     Satisfaction is very important in our life. Whatever we do we must be satisfied with our work, unless you are satisfied with your work, you will not get internal happiness. If you are satisfied with your work in any given situation, instead of  not performing well, you will get self confidence from your own heart, which will boost you to equip yourself and achieve next level.

    In present era it is seen that, when student take admission in any college or any institute, during that course duration  instead of giving more attention to their study, people start making castle in the air. They start building unnecessary expectation from themselves. Just student  does not build expectation, but their parents and all the relatives also start building expectation from students. And when ever student meet with their parents or any relatives all does not forget to remind the expectation what they have from student. 

In college teachers or professor also have some expectation from that student. 

     During study period student find only few real mentor who assist him to build the base, and who make student aware about the real world. Since no of real mentor are very less students start following the masses.

Hardly 20% student follow their own mind, 80% follow others mind. You can find only 20% students participating in all the class activities by their own choice. Masses follow 20 %. And remaining students even if they participate they participate by chance not by their won internal choice.

                         It is not bad to dream, because dream is the first stone of huge building of success. But just to dream becomes poison of life, which kills ability to get success. Every successful person had dream, but they just not used to dream but they used to leave no stone UN-turned to convert dream into the reality.

It is one good saying Dream, Dream Dream, Think Think Think and after than Put your thought in to Action Action Action.

When student passed out from their college or course and enter into the real world, where they have to meet expectation of their family,  and they have to meet their own expectation. They are able to realize, how difficult it is to make dream true. By that time, they have already dawdled  his two valuable years . And when he look-back to his past he find nothing except frustration. And some student even commit suicide and some learn the real lesson of life and start working hard and achieve success. Many people start blaming every one around him for his failure, They start blaming parents, they blame school or college they blame system and all the things around him. Some people even do not forget to blame all mighty god, and his own luck.Just they do not blame themselves.

As per my experience expectation are build mainly in middle class family. and in small town. where all the parent are not aware about the fact, as for example rural people consider Engineering and MBA as a big course. They think if their children will pursue that course it can change fate of whole family.So They want to do everything to send their children for that course. But being an MBA from lower grade college I can feel the pain of struggle . I can understand the pain of my family when I am not able to meat their expectation in better ways. After having 4 years of experience and after doing Post graduate from 3 different subjects and working in MNC, I am still not able to meet those expectation which I should have ideally meat just after MBA in 2009.

     Per my experience best solution to come out of this is to apply Maxima and Minima rule in life. Means try to fix maximum how much you want in one year, this maxima should be based on the ground reality. and break -up your goal in various small parts and try to achieve those small goal. Make your parent and all your relatives aware about the fact. Do not keep any one in dark. And try to improve as much as possible. These things will give you satisfaction and in long-term you will be achiever rather than a looser.If you keep on working in slow and steady way there will not be any obstacle in your way.

The above is written based on my personal experience and based on some of my friends experiences.

Indian Institute of Temple Management is this solution to revive culture.

      India is a country of various religion, and Hindu has been the dominating community in India. The Sanskrit is called the mother of all the languages of world. but at present it is hard to find  young people who knows Sanskrit well. In last 20 years youth has lost interest in Sanskrit, and if it remain the same, Sanskrit will be the language which will be just part of history. Our future generation will be not able to read the Gita, and The Ramayana in its original language. They will not be able to know knowledgeable  story of panchtantra. and also they will not be able to learn the suhastani.

 The power which is in Sanskrit,  is not found in any other languages of the world. Just be reading one Sloka people can feel the peace, being the Brahman I was lucky to read Sanskrit and take the benefit of many things which is hard to explain in any word. When ever I read Sanskrit Sloka during any Puja many people around me look at me and tell do you know Sanskrit. At present time only few youth are interested to read sanskrit and and even if they knows because of their family background not because of their own interest.

  In only few temple you will hear Sanskrit sloka during day time, Sanskrit sloka is just used at the time of Puja, and apart from that Hindi bhakti song is used. There used to be time when all the temple used to play only sloka in Sanskrit and atmosphere used to be full of peace. Why we are missing those things, When I asked this questing from one of the Pandit of chattarpur temple ( Delhi), his reply was very honest. he told that in present those people who visit the temple only few understand sanskrit or only few want to hear sanskrit. so as per the people choice we have to play only Hindi songs. He also told me that it is very hard to find people who is expert in Sanskrit, and even if we find someone they are at the their last stage.So all the temples are in scarcity of good Pandit.

    Why our government could not attempt to generate interest for Sanskrit in youth. Even Sanskrit is one of the subject in 10th class, but people study that to just score passing mark. Every country try to preserve their  culture and their uniqueness, but why our government is not trying to do so. Why youth is not showing their interest in Sanskrit because of opportunity. In last 20 years government was not able to project Sanskrit language as one of the opportunistic field. After 1992 people stared migrating to English language from Sanskrit and Hindi. I am not against the English or development, but per my understanding people should not have forgotten their traditional thing which is the symbol of Indian culture,

I welcome decision of Narener Modi government to establish Indian Institute of Temple Management. and he has shown the opportunities  that how much opportunities are available in this field. In across the world you will find temple like in USA, Europe and other part of the world, Where ever you will find NRI you will also find temple, but most of the temple are without good Pandit Jee. Even in India and Nepal where most of the Hindu leave you can easily identify scarcity of knowledgeable  Pandit jee.
In past 20 years many Sanskrit school and colleges were closed down, partly because of government attempt and partly because of youth interest in this.

Now Modi attempt which is unique in itself will certainly provide tonic to revive Sanskrit, and also in future you will find people passing from that institution getting hefty pkg. But in India like big countries only one institution is not sufficient, Many other government needs to follow the path of Modi and they need to proof that we Indian are not going to forget our tradition and our culture, We are people of multiple tellent we can be good in English without leaving our culture behind. Let us wait and watch the result.

       Caption of Cricket and Leader of organization

Current situation of Indian cricket has so many lesson to learn. I remember when Dhoni was given chance to lead the first 20 20 world cup. In every match people were very curious to listen Dhoni comment after match. And in every newspaper one or two article was written in appreciation of his leadership skills and his quality to lead from the front etc. Even I was big fan of Dhoni game as well as his speech.

       Whenever India used to win any game he used to appreciate his all team mate and he used to share the success, and whenever India used to loose any match he used to take more responsibility on himself and hardly he was blaming and one in the team, He also used to give credit to opposition for their best performance.

      He always used to talk about the further improvement, he used to believe for continuous performance, and continuous improvement, it was the reason that even opposition used to appreciate his leadership skills. and in team all his teammate had faith in him.

    As per my understanding, in corporate world many supervisor do the opposite. Whenever any good thing happen they do not miss any chance to attach his name with that success, he tells his boss that it was he who did it and 80 % credit takes to his name and Just 20% credit is given to those associates who did all works.
And even he is given some thesis that management expect more from you or it should have been done in better way.

And whenever any error is committed by any associates,and when senior manager ask supervisor why it happened, Supervisor tells that he was not aware about this or something else lame excuse so that his name should be out of this.  In case of mistake he just take 20% responsibility and 80% responsibility is given to associate and it is hard to explain how much pain is given to associate.

   It is told in corporate that people should be very professional, but same time people start forgetting the ethics, and it is started by supervisor, because new Joinee is like a baby boy, when any one start his carrier he is not aware of the corporate politics, he is like cute baby, whatever is told to him he starts doing that. When ever he raise his voice supervisor try to stop him by all means. And initially some associate is exploited. Whenever any error happens in team even by an exert in team, management try to show that it happens by new joiners during training period or some other excuse depending up-on supervisor skills to create story. In corporate people do not want to get success based on his own ability but they want to get success based on showing other down, and doing flattering to his boss. So by the time new new person has 3 to 4 years of experience he also became same. Change in person happens because of corporate culture.
And work life cycle goes on like this.

                In my 4 years carrier and by asking my colleague from different organisation I found that only few company has different culture which is hard to find in current time particularly in India. Because on paper every company wants to be best in ethics and working culture, but it is irony of fate that same people work in all organisation which has polluted the ethical working culture.

     There are many thing to do in organisation except above mentioned fact and no one will be barrier in success. Like Dhoni achieved all his success by continuous improvement employee can also achieve same.

Today I would like to write something which is based on the philosophy of to get happiness by giving others.

In present era people are very selfish and they want every thing for themselves, they do not want to see other getting success, they want their name everywhere. People leave no stone un-turned to promote themselves.

As per management point of view it is correct. because in corporate world if you do not do your branding yourself, there might be possibility that your manager might not be able to observe your skill - set and due to which your promotion and monetary  benefit can be delayed.

 When matter comes of satisfaction level, as per my understanding and observation, satisfaction level will be less when you get something on the basis of your own branding and satisfaction level will be very high when some one recognize your work and appreciate your work without your involvement in that appreciation.

Again question comes if people get more satisfaction when they are recognized by others, then why people do branding for themselves.

Probable ans of this can be that, people promote themselves due to many reason.
1. It is human nature that they want every thing for themselves
2. People do not want to miss chance of any thing in corporate world
3. People are hungry of success, so they want to achieve every thing in less time. They want to opt short-cut of success.
4. Here game theory also applies - Means people think all the managers are not good observer, so if they do not promote their talent, and other team - member does that and due to this that team mate can win every thing even without doing any real work or  just flattering to manager. So due to fear of that all do their branding.

        Frankly speaking if you appreciate your team mate on the basis of their real work and when that person just say thanks it gives pleasure and it become win win situation for both. Every organization should focus to promote giving attitude rather than flattering attitude. Senior Management should take some revolutionary  steps to inculcate these habit in across the organization, This will create idyllic work culture. And Manager should  be very watchful  to differentiate real talent vs so called talent.

FII in India

The rush to buy has begun with foreigner institutional investors have so far pumped in Rs 7,900 crores in Indian equities since the start of the year — quite a dramatic change of mood amongst them — who may have begun to believe that there could finally be a turnaround in the economy this year.

Some smart investors, in anticipation of rising share prices, had already begun upping their stakes since the previous quarter.

A Firstpost analysis found out that of the 30 companies that constitute the Sensex, 17 saw an increase in foreign shareholdings for the December quarter. Reuters

A Firstpost analysis found out that of the 30 companies that constitute the Sensex, 17 (more than half) saw an increase in foreign shareholdings for the December quarter. (see Table 1 below)

Tata Motors was the biggest gainer in that respect: foreign shareholders raised their stake to 24.14 percent in the quarter ending December, up 2.26 percentage points from the previous quarter.

Defensive shares like ITC and Hindustan Unilever also benefited from foreign investor interest — their stake was up by about 1 percentage point each.

In tough economic times, most investors prefer holdings stocks of consumer goods companies, which are usually seen as “recession proof”.

“During the December-ending quarter,  there were lots of concerns about India’s growth and inflation, so the investors started to exit out of the high beta (high volatile) sectors and moved into stable stocks  like ITC,” said Jagannadham Thunuguntla, strategist and head of research at SMC Global Securities.

IT shares Wipro and TCS also reported gains in foreign shareholding, perhaps in anticipation of the extra boost to earnings that these companies would get because of the recent rupee depreciation.

However, there was a fair share of sell-offs by foreign investors as well: ICICI bank was the biggest loser as foreign investors pared their holdings to 34.74 percent in the December ending quarter from 38.17 percent earlier (see Table 2 below). Construction major Larsen & Tubro also reported a 2.1 percent drop in foreign investor holdings. Investors also turned away from metal companies Tata Steel and Hindalco, which posted a decline in foreign shareholdings of around 1.7 percent.

On the domestic front, mutual funds increased their holdings in 13 companies while offloading their stakes in 16 companies.

DLF was the only company in which there was no change in domestic institutional shareholding.

This year, there could be renewed interest from foreigners as the economy picks up and the fall in earnings growth and margins bottom out.
