Rashit's Experiences

After a long time, I had not got a chance to write my blogs….but suddenly I remembered this proverb “Take time to smell the roses” meaning it is to encourage ourselves to slow down, appreciate the small pleasures in life and find relaxation in the midst of busyness. It reminds us to prioritize self-care and enjoy the present moment. So, thought of penning this blog for you my loving friends. I am choosing pronunciation as a topic to write. You know what, many a times in the past, I had always cut a sorry figure in front of my daughter where I get corrected for the wrong pronunciation of names. Pronunciation, often overlooked ( by many ) and (always)underestimated, plays a crucial role in effective communication. It is the art of producing sounds, intonations, and stress patterns that convey meaning in spoken language. Proper pronunciation enhances clarity, comprehension, and cultural integration, allowing individuals to connect and express themselves more confidently. In this essay, we...

Back to Basics: As you all are aware that it takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate once on its axis. We split the globe into time zones using imaginary lines called meridians. They run from the North Pole to the South Pole, crossing lines of latitude. There are 24 time zones. Out of these 24 there is one such imaginary line running through the UK called the  Prime Meridian . It runs through a place in London called Greenwich. I  am yet to visit this place in London UK, I will promise to share the pics of that imaginary line with me  . The Prime Meridian splits the world into eastern and western  hemispheres . Time in countries to the  east  of the Prime Meridian is always in front of that in the UK. Time in countries to the  west  of the Prime Meridian is always behind that of the UK. You can refer to the below picture. As the Earth rotates on its  axis , the Sun only shines on the side of the Earth that it is facing. This means: It is...

What is communication?   Let’s go back to basics.   What we  mean by communication?   Communication is simply the act of  creating,  transferring  views, ideas,   facts, feelings  from one  person  to another person  or group  of people . It’s a  simple answer , but there’s a lot more to it.   A person may be highly qualified and / or skilled but if he does not possess good communications skills, all his / her abilities  become  irrelevant.   Importance of Communication :   Be it social life or in professional life, if you possess good communication skill you can win anything. Especially project we are into, if we are not  1. The Basis of Co-ordination 2. Fluent Working 3. The Basis of Decision Making 4. Increases Managerial Efficiency 5. Increases Cooperation and Organizational Peace 6. Boosts Morale of the Employees   What is workplace Communication?    Workplace communic...

  Sometime back I was looking for what the statement in German would mean in English. Normally I turn to my daughter who is pursuing German and Korean recently for any of the translations required for my work and writings. At this age she is  conversant with almost 7 languages. So she is live thesaurus for me.  However, I see many of my colleagues and friends tend to go to free web sites for their quick translation of sentences. If you’ve ever taken a foreign language course, teachers and professors always remind students not to use online Translation as a tool for completing assignments. Still, many students go ahead and put their English essays into the online translation websites in order to get their nicely translated Spanish or italian essay out to impress the teachers and examiners. Students or professionals forget that in most cases it's most evident that student or professional has used an online translator like Google Translate or some other sites for the transla...

I belong to a generation when we walked to school & back. Playing hide & seek with friends after dusk. For us Playing carrom  & chess used to be luxury games, making boats and making them float in the rain water accumulated in ditches besides road.  Enjoying missal with masala misal with peanuts  at 50 paise is like big treat from mutyan misal gadi parked outside our school before we enter ground, cycling on the streets, on rent at 25 paise per half  hour and that too if you are taking giddi cycle he used to charge 50 paise per half hour. What a feeling on those drives.. Mind blowing...  We watched hindi movie on DD on every Sunday evening. Just used to pray to get some good movies but alas many times the films were not so good but still we see till "The End". Also, we never thought for a second going in really odd time especially like Benson and hedges series which cricket matches used to start at 4.30 am. I still remember seeing matches along with ...

It gives me a great pride in remembering that 15th Day of Jan 2017, when I met this great person in Lavasa.I was there on a official workshop where Abhilash sir was invited as chief guest. I was completely unaware of this personality before I heard him giving the speech and telling about circum navigation of the world ( earth ).   Commander Abhilash Tomy is an s an Indian naval officer and yachtsman. In 2013, he became the first Indian to complete a solo, un assisted, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe on INSV Mhadei. He also competed in the 2018 Golden Globe Race. What a phenomenal achievements when you are just 40s and still going for greater heights. I just don’t have enough words to express my feelings. He is not a ordinary soldier, he is champion sailor, decorated Naval officer and he is a ultimate survivor. To me Abhilash Tomy is no less than a miracle. That miracle would not have been possible with his unimaginable courage, perseverance and never say Die Spirit. You ...
