MNO of Affice
M - Meetings
Meetings - for the next product launch to the revival of employee engagement, it all happens here, the game changers. So does a lot of faffing, time wasting, gossiping, bickering, waiting, non-verbal abusing, verbal loving and song humming. Meetings are the Albatross around the Company’s neck.
N - Niceties
The niceness which is exuded could put Mother Teresa to shame. No...

Dhoondhti ho jisse..
I wrote in Hindi after a long, long time. It’s always so refreshing to do so. Melody is inherent in the language (like Urdu). Even while you write it, you can sing along. English has a sort of abruptness to it. Hindi flows smooth and viscous; it’s earthy yet soft.
Okay before this turns into an essay on Hindi, here’s what i wrote (for those who don’t know Hindi and might...

Musea: Why I'm Bored With The Wedding Industry →
mymusea:
I believe wedding photography is a very important genre of the photo world, because it celebrates people and commitment. Wedding guests travel great distances to be at weddings, and they make all sorts of sacrifices to be there in person. Much of our culture today is experienced through a…

the capital and the small of it
As a kid i would think of the capital letter as the parent and the lowercase, its child. Okay i think i’ve mentioned this before that i was pretty wacky as a kid (not that i’ve outgrown it), right? Good. Then i needn’t worry about any more raised eyebrows and wary looks.
Getting back, so H is the parent and h its kiddo. And the fact that they look so similar to each other (like...

wordless world
And i’m back again with my list of moments for which i seek an expression, a word, a something which could convey the core experience of that instant. If you know or think you know an expression for any of these, please don’t hesitate to share. :)
- waking up from a slumber so deep that you don’t know what time of the day it is
- talking about someone followed by the...

J-K-L of Affice
J - Job Description
The fictitious piece of document, that no one except the HR guys claim to have seen, which is referred to when you raise uncomfortable questions about what your KRAs are.
K - Kost Kutting*
It’s the alibi for all seasons. Anything that the management does (or doesn’t) can be justified with this. I can think of no better illustration than this (which i read...

G-H-I of Affice
G - Grumpy Colleagues
You would think you are their alarm clock (wakes ‘em up early each morning) from they way they behave with you. They consistently maintain their ill-temper. The only time one doesn’t see ‘em like this, is when they don’t come to office.
