Many Happy Returns of the Day Mumma ! :) - Lovingly yours forever !

When a child takes the first step to walk , holding mother's hand and suddenly leaves his mother's finger and starts walking all by himself , the smile that comes on the mothers lips is priceless .
The moment in itself is priceless !

you look back and see , how you have held your mother's hand tightly when you were scared to fall , you have hugged her tight , when you felt unsure , you know she was the one , who would set everything right for you , you look back and you have memories of her standing strong like a rock for you , beautiful , young , taking care of each and everything , which sometimes you very rashly said you never wanted ! :)

Down the memory lane , I see the same ! :)

I see my mother now ! She is still strong as a rock for me , she is still beautiful and young , but in a different way now ! :)

I am a big girl now ( i hav to say so cuz now i earn my own money) but somewhere , some part of me , still clings to her !
And I feel bad abt myself at times cuz there are times that I hav just ignored the love that my mother felt for me . And now , I know what it feels not to be acknowledged for soething that you give so selflessly ! What goes back , comes back I ges :) or may be , its just that you understand certain things only when you reach a certain age , you look back and then make sense out of it !

She was so happy when I was in her arms :) I see the photos , and I can see the love in her eyes that she had for me , She was so happy when I won the recitation competion in my 5th std and sat in the front row to see me take the prize . She was so happy when ppl thought I danced well , and she said , "thats my girl ! " , She was always by my side telling me that world means nothing her in front of me , through thick , and thin , she was the one person who was always there with me , even at times when I thought she wasnt .... she was still there . She was ther with me when I made mistakes in my life , when I flunked my 12th Grade cuzs of my own foolishness , she didnt care a damn about who had to say what ! She knew I wanted her ,and she was there....Right there next to me !

Its the same feel , that I have left my mother's finger , and started walking independently on my feet , But i know even though I fail to see around at times , I know she is there , to catch me when i fall ! or to be there when I need her !
I wanna cling to her at times when i dont feel good , and I realize the warmth that comes from hugging her would solve everything , would put everything right even if I dont tell her anything ! I just know it ! You can definately never grow old for your mother ! never
How can a person called mother be so selfless !

I am writing this because I want to keep myself awake till 12 o clock , cuz I wanna wish my mother a very Happy B day ! :) And that i am thinking about her a lot ! :)

I cant think of gifting anything to her cuz I dont have enough to show my gratitude towards her !
I cant thank her enough for taking care of me like she did , for giving me the values which are a driving source for me day in - day out , for being so patient with me all the time (And not most of the time as well :) ) for spending time with me , for guiding me , for playing with me , for spending those sleepless nights pacifying me , when i howled in my sleep when i was a kid , And umpteen number of so many countless things that she has done for me !

I dont have anything that can match any of the gifts she has given me ! She has given me the strongest years of her youth , her life , her time ....... which is beyond compare !

I wanna thank her for everything that she has done ! And I wanna Wish My MOMA a very Happy B day , and all the happiness ,health, & peace in the universe for her ! May God Bless her , and May the Lord bless me , to give some of my beautiful time to her !

There is a saying in gujarati "Maa te Maa , bija Vagda na Vaa" which means "Mother is the only one who stands by you , thats why she is mother , rest all are as unimportant as weeds in the garden"

Ma ...meri Ma ..Pyari Ma .... MummMA !!

Love you :)

HR is a support function for an organization :Respect it !!

I am tiered of this ongoing Tiff about the role of HR function being a Line - support function in the organization .


You Hear it from the leaders of the corporate world speaking about how HR is becoming a line function -trying to emphasis on the importance of the HR in an organization .

All throughout the Course of HR I did , I kept on hearing professors instilling in the students the very fact that HR is becoming a line function of the organization , at a certain point i felt , they wanted to erase the guilt from within us that we took HR as specialization when others took marketing , finance a revenue generating function , unlike us , a cost center function ....

My question is , is that the only way to show importance of a function in an organization ? by claiming that it is the LINE function ?


Lets face it !
No !
Its not !

HR is very much a support function ...and it does not trouble me . More so , it definitely does not make me feel inferior, cuz I know how important it is ... I know How important is that support to the organization ... I know if that one function ,,, that one support is wrongly alligned , it would make the TATAs and the Birlas fall !!! in no time !!

Why are we not taught that a Support is crucial !!! Why are we not taught that no matter where we go , what we do , what matters it how Good you do it .... there is always a necessity for all sort of function around the globe ....what is important is "are you good at it ? how good ? "



The whole problem comes from the word "SUPPORT" .. its a word which is looked down in the corporate . nobody wants to be the part of a SUPPORT function because every1 wants the limelight which is not possible in SUPPORT . How many times does the HR personnel get an award as compared to the LINE function people .... so WHY go join a support function ?

:) It takes a lot to get into that SUPPORT function .. it takes a lot of courage, responsibility , to go stand on the side of support . It takes courage to be the determining factor for a person who is to get a job , it take courage to decide how the person would grow in the company , how will he be paid , its takes a lot of responsibility to arrive at engagement activities to help retain that one person in the organization who is an achiever ... it takes a lot of guts to decide how would take people in number and quality when you go through expansions , it takes even more to communicate exits to employees in an organization .... It takes more than what people think is "EASY" to manage talent in the organization ...

This is just a helicopter's view of the function , its more deeper that way ...
Striking a simple simile, a mother who is a house wife , cares for the family , and the husband earns , doesnt mean that the role of mother is less , on the contrary , its inevitable cuz if she does not take of the family members , they wouldnt be able to perform different tasks in life ....

More so I am more influenced with the working women who handle house and work together ... or should I say both the husband and wife manage both work and house together .... this is something that I would term as "HR as a business partner " where both have equal responsibility of HR -> people and business->money !! Where the HR trains the line managers to be a good HR manager ... how to handle people more efficiently .... and the line manager trains the HR function on the money , cost part of the organization , thus complementing each other , ultimately painting a bigger picture , together , which is growth of the company !


I dont support the whole debate on HR being line or a support . I believe even when you open a consultancy , you are still a support function on the whole , as you are helping other organizations staff , or rendering a service to the organization .. only that you are more specialized in a particular field .

Synergy is just a word which is still used to grab the attention of fresh MBA graduates , to earn a clap when used in a speach , for people to fall in awe ,as most of them dont know what it actually means !! ..

Very few know how to implement it ... and use it more than a word , cuz it takes a lot of courage to actually DO IT !

The vital question is : What stage are we in to right now ?the whole ego what position the function holds in an organization? or a wholistic view stage on how should the company perform better .

I dont need an answer ... Its an answer that each one in this , or any other profession should answer , to onself , cuz at the end of the day , its important to introspect , inorder to avoid retrospecting !
