Knock Knock.. It's new year....!!

Khushiyan bhi hongi, Baharain bhi hongi,

Magar hum tu guzray December mein gum hain||

Ke jab tu mere pass thi, Hath tera mere hath mein tha,

Mager ab akele tumhen sochtay hain||

Yahee khoof daman se lipta huwa hai, Ke aisa na ho ish baras bhi December,

Tumharay bina hi kaheen beet jaye||

December to her saal aata rahega,

Magar tum na hogi to kuch bhi na hoga||

This New Year, some of you are planning to join a gym if you are suffering from obesity or you want a toned curvy figure if you are at an age of late 20s or early 30s of mother of two, to study hard to get good grades atleast B+ in this semester if you are a college student, to cut cast when the economy is so detariorating like now-a-days, or to quit smoking if you are a chain smoker. Some of you might even want to cure an internet addiction if you have obbsession of social networking sites or interchatting or some other thing. The list is long but my thoughts are sturated now; it can't think anymore. Every body makes plans and hopes for the best and try to forget the past, but there are some nostalgiac who can't free themselves to overcome it, As I have written some hindi lines. Lets not go into the details of these lines.

I am no more exception. I will be doing something I wanted to do for some time. Though I have not resolute anything but I want to 

1. Quit obsession of orkut/chat. 

2. Want to get bored of shirking. 

3. Want to use spare time doing something great, creative and different[:)].

I have not have any plans for the first two point. But I am definitely having something in my mind to use spare time constructively. 

In this new year, may the journey of my life be fragrant with new opportunities, my days be bright with achievements and my heart be filled with new hopes. Amen!

Firm In Trouble? Give charge to woman.

It's been long time, I created this account I really don't know why?? Probably I was thinking to write something at that point of time I could not make it. This is simply because writing a blog is not a child's play... Look at the guts of mine I at least tried it today. Even I have copied it from some where but it's alright.

Women are being 'setup to fail' because when they get top jobs, it is with a firm in trouble, research says. Companies with falling share prices and collapsing profits are desperate to hire a woman as boss rather a man. This is because women are generally firefighters and good in crisis. The researchers also admit that women are offered top jobs generally with falling companies. This is because such companies struggle to find a man to accept the post. Because females find it difficult to land very senior jobs they generally accept less attractive positions. The chartered Institute of personnel and development, which interviewed the women in power and dubbed the problem 'the glass cliff'. They say that even if women break the glass ceiling the leadership position they land at firm in crisis are relatively risky and precarious. By accepting such positions they are more likely to face possible career suicide by falling off the cliff if they fail to rescue the firm.
