Sunday…The Done Day Wonder.

Its a usual Saturday at mango meadows. It looks like only the women are working.  a Batchelor or two who came in more to discuss their post lunch week end plans than actually working.   I actually felt normal, about the fact that there were other women like me who hung on to Saturday for dear life. Since the day that followed was Sunday… can kill you if done properly. Why you ask… well dear…

Law of the Jungle

I met this doctor the other day. A entrepreneur then and still…a business magnet I’d recall from now! What attracted her could be how she carried herself or maybe her infectious smile and the pleasantry dealings, anyone shall fall for this silent killer. It was just auto programmed to act in such hospitality. Fake it until you make it! Act like you care? (Sounds like a medico, isn’t it?)  You…

Anti Social Media #SocialMedia

This week Indispire asks, if use of social media makes us antisocial? I think use of social media is addictive. Between those addicted to their desire to remain perennially connected and those who don’t feel the same desire, there are different shades. Yes, being unsocial is one such shade.

Quality Product vs. Process #WQD19
