Dance

The sharing assembly is a lovely ritual at Yukta's school where children of a particular class enact a small play or scene based on their current lessons. For instance, the year 1 kids made a small presentation on fireworks wherein some children read important words and sentences while others held out hand made paintings reinforcing their current learning of forming sentences and improving their creativity through art classes.

What has always attracted me to this simple ceremony is the melodious music played by the school band and today they played a very special song.

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not o sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day
Are you sad because you're on your own

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody I want somebody to love
Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody I want somebody to love
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

What really earns a customer's respect

1. Put the customer’s interests first: If you’re not doing this, customers will know that you’re just out for yourself. They may still buy from you, but they’ll never really respect you as a peer.
2. Honour the customer’s time limits: Customer, just like everyone else, are busy people. If you don’t respect their time, they’re not going to see you as worthy of respect in return.
3. Always fulfill your commitments: No customer is going to trust a sales rep who can’t transform words into action. You must deliver what you say you’ll deliver. No exceptions!
4. Understand the customer’s business: If you can’t be bothered to know what the customer is doing, then you’re not respecting the customer. That lack will be returned, in spades.
5. Add value from the first meeting: Customers expect MORE from sales reps than from other business colleagues. You have to provide value, up front, or they’ll write you off as useless.
6. Dress appropriately for the customer: It’s a little like dating. Wearing appropriate dress communicates that you value the relationship enough to take extra pains.

Itching to travel

Yes yes me wants to go on another adventurous endless trip !!! Ladakh did that to me, it did that to all of us-ended up surrendering ourselves to the travel bug.

I am trawling through endless sites to map that magical journey all over again and I want to live those magic moments with my magical friends...ah, the chronicle of an agonised pith

Time and tide...

How time flies! what once seemed like a stream of endless depressing nights has now transformed into breathtakingly long fresh spring days. Almost feels like the earth is taking it's own time to get back to bed, only to spring back to action at crack of dawn, waking every glade of grass and dropping a dewdrop as it walks around.

For me, it's yet another day of discovering of what lies within my soul, thoughts transcending boundaries of wealth, happiness, power and longing rumbling through my mind.
