A communication professional's job is like an abandoned drum, almost all other functions in the company beat it in the way they like and they expect it to sound awesome, all the time. When talking about overlap of job functions, the confusion will be more than what the poor police men had with the cross dressed sadhu. We do human resource jobs, administration jobs, sales jobs, marketing jobs and many more. For instance, once I sent out a mail to announce the launch of new job referral portal for HR, of course with all relevant links. And next day onwards, I started getting at least 4-5 resumes per day, in my inbox. In short, communications is not anymore a supporting function, it's the super function which unfortunately can't fly to reach everywhere. But the fun part of the work is, however, cannot be overlooked. I'll talk about just some mails here. Recently one of my colleagues, an internal communications manager, told about ...

It's again that time of the year when advertisements tell you how platinum (gold is passe) bonds you better than Fevikwik, or love. I saw red flood on my Faceook timeline and some others were expressing their anti-valentine rage. Honestly, I am not very sure about which side I belong now. I always thought and still think that the hype about Valentine's day is a consumerist proposition.

Evidently, we (me and wife) finished our V-day celebrations before the 14th. I gifted her on the week before, I took her for a long bike ride on the weekend (11&12) and her gifting for me was also before the V-day. Were these all part of our V...

Life is full of surprises, you never know where and with whom you will end up with. Moreover, you could never predict if you are going to get in to a kitchen and cook someday. Seriously, now I think that there is some correlation between this blog post and me, or is it? Tasty food has always been a major interest for me and I have always been very specific about what I eat. Though a non-vegetarian for the most of my life, over the last few years I'm trying to practise vegetarianism. Anyhow, the point is, I love food and the misconception was that I thought I just love to eat food. My mom and dad are great cooks, so at home it's always a huge variety of delicacies. Sometimes they make so many dishes that I confine myself to one or two. As I said, I'm very specific about my tastes and at home it was served, without fail. And then I ventured out of home and realized that serving specific to my taste buds will just be an occasional privilege now....
