Our Lord Ganesha

 


Our Lord Ganesha

We just finished long tradition of celebrating Ganesha, an auspicious festival in India. Looking through the lens of professional corporate individual, we have lots of things to learn and implement in our life.

·      This festival brings people together and help drive towards common goal, teaching us to work as a team and drive collaboration with each other.

·      Embracing Diversity- All kinds of people celebrate together despite of gender, age, race, region and many more. Diversity brings out of the box thinking and drives innovation.

·      Ganeha a god of Intellect- Continuous learning, new skills building and self-development must be individual habit to excel in our area.

·      Ganesha possesses small eyes - Keen observations and remaining focused on our goals is must. With power of internet, social media we are remaining connected with the rest of the world all the time. But this creates lots of disturbances in our work. Our brain is not tunned for high level of multi-tasking, but we try to force it ultimately results in lack of depth and lots of rework. We see many projects under go missing deadlines and not meeting customers key deliverables. Time has come to remain disconnected with the world which will allow us to focus on one thing at a time which will help us to be effective and efficient in everything what we do.

What about weekly celebrating “No Network Day”?

·      Ganesh has human body which possess a human heart which is a symbol of kindness and compassion towards all.

·      Ganesh has a big belly, this is indicating that person should face all pleasant and unpleasant experiences during our life spans with patience, forgiveness, and calmness.

·      Symbol of Mouse as a vehicle indicates to control of ego and always remain grounded.

·      Small mouth and big ears teach us power of silence- speak less, listen more and do lot more in our daily life. We can test our “Say Do Ratio”-How much we talk vs how much we actually do!

 Let us celebrate his wisdom, embrace his teachings, and create prosperous world by reinventing ourselves.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE

  Earlier this week, I celebrated 20 years with Cummins. Reflecting on my 27-year professional journey, I recognize that dedicating two decades to one organization is a significant milestone, there’s still much ahead to achieve and best yet to come. This journey has not been a case of repeating the same year of experience 27 times. Each role I’ve taken on has brought unique challenges and opportunities, contributing to my personal and professional growth. I’ve truly enjoyed each position, from engine design and development to leading global organization, organizational development, along with full customer-centric roles. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of developing many team members and supporting their career growth. With these experiences, I can confidently say I’ve formed lasting friendships. Every role within an organization is crucial and every one can achieve excellence in everything, whatever you do. Achieving significant success requires a long-term perspective, co

The Joy of Hobby: Life Lessons from Nature

    In a world that often feels overwhelming, where the demands of work and family can leave us feeling drained, finding joy through hobbies can be a lifeline. Hobbies not only provide an escape from our daily routines but also enrich our lives, giving us purpose and fulfilment. One of the most transformative experiences for me has been trekking, particularly my recent journey to the breathtaking heights of 14,600 feet. This trek was both challenging and exhilarating, as I faced the daunting reality of sudden altitude gain, which brought with it a mix of fear and excitement. In India, many people hold a deep reverence for rivers, considering them sacred. The Ganges River, personified as the Goddess Ganga, is one such example, where devotees aspire to bathe at least once in their lifetime, believing it cleanses sins and purifies souls. Recently, I had the opportunity to trek to Gomukh and Tapovan, the origin of the Ganges, sitting at an altitude of 14,600 feet. This journey was incred

Build the Life you Want

  Build the Life you Want Everyone yearns for happiness, and it's a natural state for humans. To enhance our lives and uplift others, we need to stop waiting for the world to change and instead take control of our own lives. We should act as the architects of our own destinies rather than passive observers. Unfortunately, there is no secret formula for happiness—it's not a destination but a direction. The essential elements of happiness are “Enjoyment, Satisfaction, and Purpose.” Even in the most challenging circumstances, such as during the COVID pandemic, life was still to be beautiful. Negative emotions play a crucial role, guiding our reactions to the world in ways that help us survive and thrive. However, unhappiness can spread rapidly; a negative mood in a meeting can quickly affect everyone in the room and even carry over to our homes, disrupting the entire atmosphere. Make sure to spend time enjoying the things that captivate you. When introducing ourselves, we
