Back to work…

After quite a gap… Misha decides to get back to work… She has been on a maternity break and also suffers from a divorce…

She has all along been good in recruitments and feels this is the right job for her….

An email pops up in her mail id ‘We are seeking individuals who can be part of journey to spread peace’

Misha is a peace lover and surprised with this message… curiously responds

‘How will I get compensated?’

A response comes ‘US$10 to resolve a human conflict’

Misha smiles at self remembering her various episodes of brawls with her husband… A compulsive drunkard who can hit Misha any time… or even force on her any time…’

She responds ‘only 10$ worth is cost of human conflict’

Response comes ‘This is a social initiative and we get 15… and we give you 10… so it is fair deal’

She responds ‘why will you not do it self?’

Response ‘Do you know every tweet trend has potential conflicts… easily in 60 minutes there is a potential for 6 million conflicts globally’

She responds ‘wow… interesting… who are you?’

Response ‘my email id explains who I am… but for you to know me better, can you accept 1 assignment’

She says ‘what is it?’

Response ‘your mom sent us 15 to solve your conflict with your father.. as it seems you hate him as he never encouraged you to work’

She responds ‘amazing.. means I get paid for my own problem with my dad’

Response ‘Solve the problem’

She responds ‘how?’

Response ‘communicate and probe the issue better’

She calls her mother ‘I am irritated with you.. Why will you hire 3rd party individuals and explain ridiculous problems of our lives’

Mother ‘They seem to have excellent potential.. wanted to encourage them… Am exploring investments in them… so ‘

She ‘so… you feel your husband… my father was right when he curbed me from working and wished me to marry and settle soon in life’

Mother ‘Misha… do you know.. one problem with you..’

She ‘what is it… my life is screwed up… nothing much… am trying for job.. to sustain the kid’

Mother ‘discuss with your father… it is an assignment’

Misha moves to her father’s room

Father ‘Misha…sad to see you divorced too soon… I feel I made a mistake.. but do you know the reasons for me to get you married too soon?’

Misha ‘what?’

Father ‘Misha… you always would give up things in between and though a curious kid… but somehow focus missing. I wished to give you a purpose of life and make you take responsibilities and hence marriage’

Misha ‘amazing… so you wished to me to get screwed up’

Father ‘no… I felt you would get focused and then if god wills will prosper too in career’

Misha ‘a regressive thinking from an educated father… look what you did of me’

Father ‘we do not have control over destiny… had you been single too… some mess would have happened… so it is a learning curve for you’

Misha ‘now you blame on destiny… ‘

Father ‘do you recollect some moments of our lives when you would come to me for each problems of yours’

Misha remembers as a child she doted her father and always spent time with him… she recollects when she failed in her maths exam and sheepishly informed her father and the only response she got was ‘be focused’

Misha ‘why you feel am not focused’

Father ‘reasons… instead of agreeing for marriage… why would you not take up a job then’

Misha ‘I did to see you all happy’

Father ‘Misha… from now onwards try to be happy for your own self… you need to be the most important person for your own self… and with you,… you kid’

Misha ‘my husband would hit me for no reasons’

Father ‘drinks can damage mind… it can damage families… it is unfortunate… we never realize this… ‘

Misha ‘I ignored earlier… but then it kept increasing’

Father ‘are you still angry with me?

Misha ‘no… I love you a lot’

Misha hugs her father

Misha sends a message ‘conflict resolved.. remit 10’

10 credited to her account

Misha ‘why this complex way of handling simple problems… I could have solved it myself’

Response ‘as service provider our job is to touch pain points which someone cannot solve self… so thanks for your time.. will you take up next assignment’

Misha responds ‘yes’

Response ‘your ex husband is having a hard time in his company… he may be thrown out any time’

Misha ‘why personal issues coming to me.. this way am not also going to solve problems of others’

Response ‘will you take up this assignment’

Misha ‘yes’

Misha smiles at herself and mumbles ‘solving our own problems and getting paid too… interesting’

Misha responds ‘next what after this’

Response ‘our criteria of selection process is solve 3 problems of self and then you can solve other’s problems’

Misha responds ‘who are you?’

Response ‘have returned back again… to ‘

Misha ‘for what?’

Response ‘solving problems in entertaining way’

Love at first sight?

Love at First Sight

Is it applicable to the startup ecosystem? or any business deal?

The answer is probable Yes

Why does an investor invests in a venture?

The deal is great…and it will have definite returns.. but maybe the investment banker, the deal maker has fallen in love with the venture for whatsoever reasons.

Is it applicable in employment?

Many a time we get very impressed by a prospective employee because of good answers, excellent back experiences or whatsoever and decide to hire an individual in max 1 hour to 3 hours of maybe couple of round of interviews.

Each employment engagement or venture deal is a relation which begins with a love and eventually it needs understanding for maintaining it long term

Many misuse the love for maybe own gains and it could be pure one sided devotion or attraction. Loyalty comes in form of various MOUs, Agreements and suspicion comes on slightest doubt of betrayal.

Is it applicable in politics? Again the same story… Add betrayal to it… where someone decides to let go an employee or an employee decides to let go an organization or an investor decides to skip a venture only because the love came with a mind to choose a better partner. Finally it is the love or hate which compels many to make decisions in life to invest or de-invest from a venture or group or people.

Moral of the story : As long as heart exists, multiple ventures, individuals will come in life… But if we use our mind, we may just do what keeps us happy… If the mind gets too cluttered with confusions or confusing take from many individuals… it only indicates there is quite possibility that in personal life too that trait may damage self… Let us not get confused with why a group of investors remain followers and only few become lead investors… Somewhere there is love and assurance that things will not go wrong.

What should an employee do?

Fall in love with the venture and ensure the venture never fails…

What if there is a potential exit?

You are a great lover and there is huge dearth of such passionate lovers in world… you will get a better partner soon.

Stay positive.

Vegetable Woes

Prank has inherited gift of understanding vegetable languages.. He has strong passion to be in garden and observe vegetables talking to each other

Tomato 1 ”god made me juicy, red with so many seeds in it.. ”

Tomato 2 ”we all will be thrown or cut. Why our life is so small”

Tomato 3 ”just the other day found onions being thrown by those farmers.. more supply.. less demand.. not sure why farmers imitate each other and keep having same crops”

He moves to the farm where onions are growing

Onion 1 ”so tired to make all cry.. but no one understands that the bacteria’s and virus attack us when cut and not used”

Onion 2 ”why were we not born as humans or animals or even tree’.. why a vegetable..  Have seen a lady telling that her mother-in-law has become a vegetable.. bed ridden.. means vegetables have no purpose,,.. no mission.. no one values our mineral content too. I heard a lady telling to her husband.. don’t become a lady finger.. most of times skinny and not erect at all’

He moves to lady finger’s farm land

Lady Finger 1 ”many love me and cut me in bits and pieces.. not sure why those white seeds inside me..  sometimes soft.. sometimes erect.. not sure how people select me.. do they want softness or they want stern ness or they want a mix of both??”

Lady Finger 2 ”dear.. women want a mix of both… and men too… hence we are lady fingers…  the ones who can hold their beloved with mix of both love, affection and sternness too if men go wrong”

Prank burst laughing….

Sarah ”Are you mad? who said vegetables talk…

Prank ”wait a minute…”

After few minutes

Sarah ”please.. will do that”

After few minutes
