Be Honest

Life comes as full circle.One has to continuously and repeatedly deal with people.Sometimes one has to work with people to whom S/he never wants to see again. But that never happens. from my not much but small experiences I have realized that life makes sure you come across people to whom you never want to meet.

There will be many situations when you do things which you dont like to.Given a chance you will leave at the very moment.But life is not fair. There might be different priorities which force you to do many things against your wishes.Many of those things have happened to me as well. And I have learnt that no matter what you are asked to do, no matter whether you like to do that job or whether it is enforced you need to do your job with honesty. It always pays in longer run. It may happen that you come across same person some time. If you had done your work responsibly you will always feel comfortable and confident to approach them.

I have many incidents to recite regarding this but I dont want to bore you with that. All I want to say is earth is round and you are bound to meet same people again and again so do your share of work with honesty. In case you have some issues which forbids you to perform your duties be honest and let your manager/master know. You might suffer short term losses but you will earn long term good will.

Be honest to your duties ,responsibilities your colleagues ,clients or whosoever you come across. As I said you might not like the job you are doing but after all you are not getting paid to like the job but to do the job.

Remember Honesty is still a best policy.

Uncle's Shop (Part II)

In my last article I supported big malls coming up .I said that it might not matter too much for our Uncles' . But today I got the news that shop beneat my house is shutting down. They are not able to sustain now.Earnings are decreasing day by day due to upcoming shopping malls. I felt so sad.

The bond I was talking last time became more evident. He was not a mere shopkeeper but our neighbour too.We never had to worry about buying essential groccery no matter whether we had money or not. It never mattered whether it was end of month or starting. It never mattered whether out relatives or parents were visiting us when we were running short of money.

I remember at times I used to run late for my office and on the way just used to grab my packet of biscuits for break fast without even asking the price and without even paying for it. Some times used to pick it up by my own to avoid the waiting period because of other customers.

Can never even think of repeating the same in any big mall. No body will give u any thing even if you are just a penny short.

Thats the importance of these uncles shops.

I gonaa miss them a lot.
