Let’s Get Back to Work!

                     “It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.” - Benjamin Franklin

Absolutely rightly said. First of all I want to thank H&M for choosing me to be a part of this organization, seems heard again and again but friends can’t help it because when you get something good or something great happens in your life you try to talk about it repeatedly so I’m blessed to be a H&Mian 🙂. 

H&Mians

Here I have been getting so many opportunities to evolve as a better person, personally and professionally. H&M has given me a chance to be a working man regardless of this Lockdown. It has never stopped sharing the knowledge and preparing the stairs for me to head towards our success.

          It has developed me in every way. Agree or not but most of us have been so used to of our values that not only in our work but we have started to apply these values in our personal life too by which we have seen few changes as well. Now since our store is reopening, I am all set to get back on the track.

The Team

 I am proud to be in such work place and with such team where our work highlights our characters.

           

We don’t turn up our nose, we turn up our sleeves when it comes for the action.

I am super excited and super enthusiastic to go back to my work place, to meet my colleagues, friends and my seniors. Can’t wait to have fun with you all.

......And most of all leaving no stone unturned to get our store back to life. Experiencing the “New Normal Life” and just ROCK IT !!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

May your new normal life gives you the strength, patience and success! Be safe and be Blessed.

A Letter to my Organization

Positively Charged

Hi Everyone! I hope y’all are well and taking all the precautions to keep you and your family safe. As y’all know due to this pandemic not only in our workplace but at our home we are living a new normal life; where everyone is sitting down in home thinking about the future and expecting and praying something good to happen which can get their life in normal track again. I feel in the midst of this situation what has never changed is the growth of our knowledge and development in H&M.

First of all I want to say that I feel really lucky and proud to be a part of H&M. I feel happy that I work in such an organization where we are given loads of chances to grow even in such unprecedented and challenging time. H&M gives us opportunity to learn more & more through Grow, Care Training, Q&A, it has even brought down the handbooks to us through PDFs which is amazing!!

I’m Gratified 🙂

In these years in H&M, I never felt that my inquisitiveness has set a target for my knowledge to increase or improve, only the fact that I know that yes, it could’ve been ceased if this organization wouldn’t help me to develop myself through lots of learning tools. I very shamefacedly agree that there are still so many things I might not know or I still want to learn because one of our value itself says that CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT is one of the key to success. Learning is always fun for me and I love the weekly Q&A part and also the one in GROW.

A phone can be your teacher as well 🤓

 There’s a saying “Mistakes makes a man perfect” it’s hence proved here in H&M. Every time I go through the question and answer them I feel so confident that I might have done 100/100 (as we all know the answers are hidden behind the lines) but when I see my numbers below hundred I don’t feel that I did a mistake but just got a chance. A chance to learn more and going back to the drawing board again to know things which are still new for me. I don’t see it as a minus point but as an addition to my queries. A crave learning everything and setting a target of 100 points emerges within me and then I eagerly wait for the next session in the next week, new information to go through, new questions to crack and lots of learnings.

The more you ask the more you know

Lastly I thank y'all for giving me the precious time of the day. I’m sorry that I don’t have a cut-to-the-chase speaking style. I hope me jumping on this bandwagon have done something good and hope y’all might like this attempt of mine. 🙂

You Completed a Decade Appa

it’s been ages I haven’t posted anything for my blog. I almost forgot about it but today I again felt like writing something for myself, I didn’t find any better place to pour my feeling out, nothing could be a better place than this because whenever I feel low, happy or super excited , this has been the place where I always come. I remember last time I wrote about my Appa and made a post long time back ( I dunno how many of y’all have read that though) and today again I came back to you all hoping y’all support me as always you’ve been supporting y’all will read my post again and give some time to my attemp to be so expressive to you all. I wanna write about someone who is so dear to me that I have never ever felt his absence in my life. Yes, I’m gonna talk about my Daddy Appa or rather I will talk to him through this post and I hope he listens to me and my message reaches to him and my love right from the bottom of my heart to his heart ❤️.

         It’s been a decade since you left us and went but it never ever felt like you’re not there with us.     Appa you stay everywhere around us.
   

My Hero. You were, you are and you’ll always be.

 You are there in the dance of Christmas and Easter, in the birthday celebration of every family member, in the arguments among us, in the conversation about Amma being adamant sometime, in the conversation about you being a better cook than Amma, in the conversation about you being more hardworking and energetic than Anthony (my younger bro), in the conversation about you being so bias and protective for Vailankanny (my younger sister) in the conversation about me being so idle and fighter cock, in the conversation about Dwight Jones getting up late and nihari daalpuri  (it is one of the well known breakfast for Anglo Indians in Kolkata)😂😂 in the conversation of every get together and parties, in the conversation for making outgoing plans and last but not least in the conversation about Erica (my daughter) not being pampered by you 😢😢 we know that you loved babies so much that you showered your love to all the kids of our neighbors but I never imagined my baby would be left without it. I still feel that God had taken you very early because I never thought that there’d be days when my baby won’t have someone to call Appa. But still I don’t have any complain against Jesus because whatever he does he does for our betterment. I know you’re more than happy and content out there with Him. You’re watching over us and you’re watching Erica too. Oh! I guess You must be laughing over the things she does na? because she has got the best of you in being a comedian, the acting and making faces and all.

Bless her and watch over her Appa❤️

She sees your pic and calls you “taataa” and I promise you when she grows up I will let her know that she really have missed a teddy bear hug and a protector. I may not miss anything in life but you for Erica will always give me a feeling of that void place being there. You’ve always been my support system, you always were with me in my wrongs and rights. And I can say you are the very first partner-in-crime of mine (I used to bunk school and surprisingly you knew it) I can’t even ask for more 5-6 years from God for you to see Erica but then I feel “why not??”  There are people who live so long and God bless them; why didn’t God bless us having you for more years??😢🥺 but it’s destiny and we cannot do anything about it , just accept it and move on and always thank God for whatever he has done. Appa I just wanna say please watch over Erica and bless her.

Like father Like daughter

I love you and I always regret fighting with you 😭😭 people always realize the value of someone when they’re gone, and I am the unlucky one and the bad one to hurt you always. I am sorry Appa and I’m sorry for the times I wronged you. You have left so many memories to cherish but cry. It’s been 10 years but tears still seems fresh for your loss. It feels it has happened just yesterday. We have been strong and moved on but we always feel incompleteness of our family photo, We love you and we always do and we miss you until we meet. Be happy wherever you are. Have a great time with Jesus in his kingdom. I looooooooooooooove you. Erica loves you Appa. Kiss and hugs from her to you. We miss you , miss you a lot 😘😘😘😘

If she would not be there

                    She ain't a superman but still we rush to her for protection
                   She ain't a doctor, but still we believe she will cure us... may be not with medicine but with her tender, love and care. She is no miracle she is a mother.
           the place where I work, keep having different kinds of promotion... specially on special days.
It struck me when my manager came an discussed an event happening in our store for "Mother's Day"
             .... " M O T H E R ' S   D A Y "      *FACEPALM*

how could it just slipped out of my calendar like head... I thought to do something special for her. So as I got done with my manager (trust me I never even concentrate on what he said, I could just see his mouth moving, that's it). I went to Just Baked and ordered a cake for her, I know she doesn't has a particular flavor craze, but still I preferred strawberry cheese cake ... which was like this.

Tadaa!

yummy no? there is an app called "Photo grid". I dunno how many applications I have downloaded in my phone which I barely use.  I am too greedy about having apps in my handset. ok this one you shouldn't have known about me ok so what I was saying is I made a naaaaaice video with the help of this app and dedicated to my mother. I posted it on Facebook too :)  she was so happy seeing the video.

If you go through my blog y'all come to know what kind of on and off relationship I have with my mother, I agree I hurt her have made her cry in times, But I just wanna say how much love and respect I hold for her, I can never be able to explain it or put'em into words!! Its not easy for a woman to look after their children alone. after my dad expired, she is the only one who is everything for me. I can see the strength in her to cope up with any troubles and I really take her as a great example to go ahead in my life. She is very hardworking, I always tried to be like her, superfast and super diligent but I failed... and I know I will never be able to... but still I will keep trying. I love you Amma!! (Tamil word for mother)

P.S : A video which I have made for my first expert , I would like y'all to have a look on it... please. and I will would love to know something about what y'all feel for your mother, you can write a link on my blog comment and I promise , I will definitely check it once I come on blog again.

                     Tu kitni acchi hai, Tu kitni bholi hai, Pyaari pyaari hai, Oh Maa...

  you can check others videos too (:

 

I was not Hibernating, in fact Pondering

Hello bia... how are y'all... oops, hope y'all still remember me?? ain't you?? I know its been a yank I haven't blog.. oh no no no don't think I had a writers block.. no I didn't. emmmm its just that I was BUSY!! now y'all be like *what the hell kind of work I was doing on this earth that made me so busy that couldn't even tip tap my fingers on the keyboard* well for sure I'd never had given up on my bloggers mode, buuuuut guys I really never got a chance to write.. Its just that there are soooo many, so many things had happen with me that I was really confused between choosing what to write and when to write (sometime I was like 'should I write?' ) and eventually I found myself being struck dumb. We have all been there at some point of time. We want to say something, it really means a lot to us, but for some reason, we simply cannot speak of it. Ain't we?? If you guy's have been through this kind of stage in your life, please do write to me, I would love to know if someone is out there just like me. There are so many things which was weighing me down, there were things which were troubling me and  believe me I was not able to take them out through the words!! Trust me bia, I am not that cool cook to make a lemonade out of lemons life throws at me.. in fact I go heart broken thinking can this ever happen to me? (oh I am such a dumb to think even that I am that immune ) anyway...what wrong happened ... its all just happened, what mistake took place, cannot be amended , let bygones be bygones. All  I want to consider the baaaaad things of my life as a "past incident" which might should never happen again.
                              We all evolve in our  life. we all mature through the good and bad experience of our life. We learn from our mistake and be determined not to repeat it time and again. I too had made some silly choices and taken some stupid decisions in my life, for which I had to repay... repay with my happiness, my laughter *though twas not for a long time* I have recognized even bad people existed in my life, and for the good ones; I have set their priority level in order where twas all scattered before. There were people whom I was giving importance unnecessarily and because of that I was loosing the support of the ones who are really strong in holding me. But not now... and it will  NEVER change!!
                     

                 Oh yeah... wanna tell you one more thing!! y'all know that bitch had barked again!! LOL!! Interesting huh! she had tried to hurt me again with her filthy-disastrous-repetitive words! hahah I tell ya one big compulsive highlighter she is ! I could give it to her left - right and front through the same social networking she has chosen to do shitty things from  (so badly that she would have regretted why she ever sighed up in any social activities) but as I said I have evolved and when I said this I mean it. I have come above all these kiddish act and well my statement would always be restrained and what I feel is the more I talk about them , the more I involve them in my life! I rather choose helping others than helping them who are going to hand me nothing at the end. I see so many things happening against me, many things has been told against me but I have promised myself not to ruin my life thinking about these or wasting my time in mending things which are of no good, trust me. In this course of life I have lost many of my so-called-friend but I prefer it to be a good riddance to bad rubbish.
                          "Ignorance Is Bliss" I am holding onto this mantra at the moment of my life...
 What's yours bia?? share something helpful if you want.
                                                     

What To Do Re!!

Inhale ..... Exhale.... Inhale.... Exhale!! *huff*

  Hmmmph!! A new thing about me is discovered. I can really go on doing same things day by day, everyday without thinking to change  it a bit. I am tired finding myself coming to work, and doing NOTHING!!

    only Sit - Eat - Play games - Facebook - Twitter - Blogging and Staring at the computer screen and thinking thousand things at once and ending up feeling so useless :(

for almost anything?

                  

Why am I doing the same thing everyday.. Cant I change it a bit... Cant I move my soggy ass and tryna shuffle !! Oh I see.. so finally I have been the victim of my lazy life... Geez! I need some energy, Uff cant even ask friend for it as how I request an energy booster in the games I play on Facebook everyday.

 why I am behaving like this as though there is really no other work left for me, why am I behaving so dumb, why my days are passing just doing nothing NOTHING productive? I am drilled now, I guess I am loosing the ability to think even... Its may be just a bad and boring day... Oh Geez... wake me up from my monotonous life!

 P.S. My bestie is out of town, missing him as he is out of any contact. Having little slit ups with baby.. need to fix it asap.

Entry of the Lord in Jerusalem

     Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord

a week before he was crucified like a criminal, he rode into the city a king.

 I think if my blog doesn't talk about God, then I fail being a christian. When I was a child, I used to count my festivals with other religions. I used to think we have so less festivals to celebrate and all of them are just so common, its same routine, going to church , meeting relatives and friends, wishing them and having the followed lunch and dinner together, that's it! Of course as a child thinking his way was nothing unusual, that time we were in the age where our brain was like on holidays until we grow up, our heart used to be on workdays just to beat and pump, nothing more than that.We knew only two feelings, happy and sad.... we used to cry when parents used to rebuke us and be very happy when they used to get chocolate and gifts for us :D

   But now when I am grown up, I am a teen turned into a woman, I have a mind to think, I have a heart to feel more than being happy and sad,  and I have a brain which is small in size but huge and  deep like a well inside which is never over poured with the knowledge we receive day by day. Now I know, that our festival is not just wishing people and meeting relatives, NO, this is not it! Its more than what we can see and what we can understand. As a child even I thought that going to church is the same old routine but what I did not know was it has all new things to teach us every time we visit. It teaches more about our religion, about Jesus and his teachings, It makes us more responsible towards our duty of being a true CChristian. Now when I know it all, I enter church, I keep my mind fresh, my heart dying to accept him and my mind ready to know God and be closer to him day by day.

  Today its Palm Sunday. Its 13.04.2014. This is the 6th Sunday of lent season and the last Sunday before Easter. It is known as Passion Sunday, Flower Sunday and Willow Sunday as well (oh , not bad!) On this day we go to church in the morning which follows by a mass, gospel reading, preaching about the facts of palm Sunday and its value in our life through Jesus. We get palm leaves distributed among us today and we attend mass holding it in our hands. Palm Sunday includes a possession of the  assembled worshippers carrying palms. Why Palm Leaves?? why not roses or some other flowers, why only palm leaves???? that's the question many people think when they see us with a palm leaves holding in our hands and gong back home. I remember how quickly I used to ask Appa (daddy) to make flowers and cross for me out of those palm leaves as soon the Mass used to get over. I miss my dad.

Ain't these beautiful.

It was really fun when we used to make sword out of those leaves and play the palm warrior.. hahaha...

          now enough of fun stories , now lets discuss some fact stories about this holy day. SO.....

                                               

    What   is    Palm    Sunday?

 Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus in Jerusalem, where he would be crucified five days later. According to the Gospel, Jesus rode into a town on a donkey as elated and exuberant crowd hailed him as their Messiah (Savior) and spread out palm branches and cloaks (to make i more comfortable) in his path. They also attempted to hold the palm branches over him to shade him from the sun. Palm leaves are significant symbol on Palm Sunday because it stand for the entry of Jesus  into Jerusalem. It stands for the victory. The same way a donkey is referred as an animal of peace, so Jesus coming riding on a donkey is a significance that Jesus is coming in peace. They welcomed Jesus with more passion and a painful thought as those followers knew that four days later, Jesus would be crucified.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the Holy Week. This week is very important for Christians. This holy week continues with a Good Friday which is the last day of Jesus life and ends with Easter, the day of  his resurrection.

I feel very bad when I see most of the Christians going church as it is a work for them , its like just go and finish it. Most of us go to church occasionally. In Christianity , Sunday is considered as a Holy Sabbath Day, we being a christian should go to church in order to keep it Holy. Listen to God and his teaching. If we do not do this,we will not be able to know about the one who has sacrificed his life on the cross for us. We will not be able to know the value of the Holy Trinity (Father, Sin and the Holy Spirit) Thus we will never be able to enlighten our children and other young generations about how lucky we are being Christians. It will be shame for us if we do not understand that somehow we can loose the opportunity to teach others and lessen our sins and redeem it through teaching Gods Prayers.

If you regularly go to Church, You will feel Jesus inside you. You will be able to see with your naked eyes how much persecution he has gone through, you will be able to feel his pain and agony.

On this day I pray for all those Christians who are still adamantly unaware of His sacrifice. We should know that he knew this from before, he has all of us in his mind, He knew it that He has to give his life in order to save ours, but still he did not reused to, he did not refused to his Almighty Lord, His unending passion and love he showed us in his way. Why cant we show him the same love by doing things which makes him happy. We can, right? 

On this Holt Occasions I pray for y'all, that the spirit of this Holy occasions, the warmth of the season make your heart bloom with joy and happiness.

 Have a Blessed Palm Sunday, Be a True Christian!!!
