Let me narrate how a typical State Govt official functions in TN ( from my personal experience )
11 am reporting to office ( 1 hr late)
After arrival discuss with colleagues about reasons for late arrival for 15 minutes
20 minutes setting up his/ her table n sit amongst files
Visit suprintendents table or cabin n come back to desk
Upon arrival 3 to 4 people will be waiting to enquired about the status of their files , give each one a reason for delay, usually blame heavy work Lord. 30 minutes gone
Then tea time , 30 minutes gone
After tea time back to suprintendents desk, talk about some file , talk about GO etc , remember no work has happened since morning , but plenty of talk about files n work 😀
Then invariably a call comes about post lunch department meeting , another half an hour gone
1. Burning candles - millions of candle are burnt each day in churches and x tian houses across the world, this emit more poisonous green house gases than bursting crackers for Deepawali
3. Christmas means lighting using electric serial lights. Do you know 65% of electricity in India is generated by burning coal in thermal power plants. So more lighting you do for X mas more power you consume, so more green house games
One of the most unavoidable life lessons is having to deal with the disapproval of others. Praise & blame are all the same is a fancy way of reminding yourself the old cliché that you will never be able to please all the people all the time.
Even in a landslide victory in which
a candidate secures 55% of the vote, he or she is left with 45% of the population that wishes someone else were the winner. Pretty humbling isn't ?
Our approval rating from family, friends and the people we work with isn't likely to be much higher. The truth is, everyone
Has their own set of ideas with which to evaluate life & our idea always don't match those of other people.
We get angry, hurt or otherwise frustrated when people reject our ideas, tell us No or give us some other form of disapproval
