The PJ bug

Well, I knew I cdnt keep myself away for long..

I am a habitual PJ cracker, and not all PJs are crackers, u know..

Still, every attempt is worth it, for if it draws even a solitary laugh, who can grudge it ??

So, heres one for 2day.. with apologies to all Yoga enthusiasts..

If one does the asanas wrong, the transition from Yogi to Rogi wd be in double quick time !!

And if u do the pranayama wrong, yr prana wd soon go to yama !!!

happy posturing !!!

The latest euphemism

Hi ..

Did u catch the latest euphemism from the newspapers??

It is ...' borrowing accidentally' , used to refer to plagiarism in publishing

Okay..but how does one return the borrowed matter??

Hmmm...any creative solutions to balance the loan equilibrium???


Happy stimulating..

Loyalty, continued..

Hi..

Continuing on the subject of loyalty, the moot point I would like to raise is... does the law of diminishing returns apply in the case of employees who have remained ' loyal' for too long??
What does an organisation do proactively to prevent this from happening? Maybe, monitor performance not merely by some numbers, but by original work done, new skill added, etc..
One needs to foster a climate of placing a premium on original thinking, encouraging atribe of nay sayers, and resisting the temptation to treat non conformists as disloyal !!

Happy stimulations..

The myth of loyalty in organisations

Often, organisations think that length of service is a great indicator of loyalty.
However, while this could be true in some cases, often, it may not necessarily be a desirable parameter. Loyalty is invariably to a profession, and that is not measurable merely by length of service.
Experience should not be , in the first instance, evaluated by what one has undergone or by the duration of efflux of time, but by the value learnt, that is relevant to the organsiation's mission.
