Day #63: Shared Office space 100 Day Gratitude challenge

Day #63:     Shared Office space
100 Day Gratitude challenge
There is a new concept in town called Shared Office spaces. I have signed up for such an office in Workenstein at Perungudi. The advantage of these offices are many and the negatives very few. What stands out in its favour is that you can just move in with your laptop and start functioning from Day 1. The place is well appointed, and can wow you and your clients. There is staff to take care of the admin, maintenance, security and the front office.  We need to just take care of our own business alone. The office and its upkeep is not our headache. I remember how painful it is to ensure that the office looks presentable when visitors arrive. At such crucial times, the daily help would not have turned up and you are either cleaning up yourself or searching for a temp solution for that problem. With shared office spaces that is taken care of and you can just forget about that and focus on your business. For small business owners and consultants this is the best thing that can happen to them.
The Business world is changing so much with new formats being introduced regularly. Fortunately this new format is entirely acceptable and is bound to be embraced by small businesses for its convenience and value proposition.
I’m grateful for the shared office space that I have. I’m grateful for their staff who are taking care of our routine headaches and the management that has thought up this concept.

The future is likely to be ruled by such shared office spaces.

Day #96: Rituals (100 day gratitude challenge)

Day #96:     Rituals (100 day gratitude challenge) The rituals associated with the passing away of a family member are elaborate in most customs. The Indian Hindu customs are very elaborate and spread over a longer period than for us Indian Catholics for whom it is just 3 days of mourning and then life gets back to normal. There are a funeral service and a third-day memorial mass. The family stays together during this time. There are lots of discussions on what happened, how it happened, old memories, recent memories and a lot more so it takes the mind off the subject for the grieving members of the family. They get time to grieve heal and adjust to the new reality of a life without this person who was an integral part for so long. My sister and her sons were dealing with all of this that the shock of learning of the passing of the man of the house was cushioned and they could slowly wrap their head around the fact that he was no more amongst them. Rituals and customs play a

100 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day #2 Gratitude to all the people who provide me food and water

Gratitude to all the people who provide me food and water When I was born, many decades ago, my body weight was just 3.8 kgs and I was a helpless bundle of tissue, bone, flesh, skin, and body mass who had to have everything done for me. Today my body weight hovers around the 76 kgs mark and I think I’m responsible for the lives of so many people who depend on me. How did I get from that to here? The obvious answer is all the food that I gorged upon, since the day I was born. The produce of the earth went into me and grew my muscles, tissues, bones, and body mass to grow into this 5’10” human being who weighs in at around 76 kgs. I am me because of the food and water that I dumped into my stomach, sorry, lovingly deposited into my innards. I would not exist in this plane and talk to you without the food and water that I ingested so far. So obviously, I owe many thanks to the food and water that I have had. But who brought this food to my table? I just did a cursory math of how

Exceptional Sunday

Image
Sunday this week was exceptional. Can you guess why?  C'mon take a guess. Even a wild one. Doubt you will get it right. No, I did not do something out of the world and adventurous. No, I didn't do something stupid or dangerous. No, I didn't do whatever you are thinking. I went for a workshop titled "Exceptionalism". Strange name right? Conducted by my friend Ramya. She's a young trainer who quit her IT job a year ago to follow her passion. Yes, she's one of the bold ones to take that decision and is making it work in a very short time. It was a just a three-hour workshop, but she opened our eyes to what we could do to focus, energise and create our exceptional goal in life and what is required to achieve it. Many of us are just seduced by the routine of our life that we seldom take time out to introspect on what we would REALLY want out of this life. We just settle for what we are currently doing and go with the flow without choosing to take the
