Frequently Asked Question

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION ?

Many times I have come across this question from the people I meet

“ Where are you working?"

I politely answer “ I am a HOME MAKER! ”

Then I am asked with surprise :

”WHY?”

Then I take all my time to explain the reason.

But, later when I pondered on this Frequently Asked Question, one thought kept lingering In my mind. The thought that made me feel good.

During our ancestral period women had to look after household chores. That was the norm. So the question of them “going to work” was irrelevant.
Then came the period where women started to step out of their homes into the corporate world, in search of job, exploring all available opportunities.
Then people started to ask women

“ ARE YOU WORKING?”

Now in the present scenario where times have changed and women pursuing a career is almost inevitable, the mindset of people has changed and so the question.

“ WHERE ARE YOU WORKING?”

This question is proof enough to believe that women have come a long way and have created their own identity and improved their status. I realized I should actually feel good about this FAQ.
Now, though I am a non-working woman, I have started to like the “ frequently asked question – Where are you working?”

Italy tour - Rome, Florence, Venice - Experience and few tips

I recently went on a tour to Italy with my parents. We planned three main cities to visit – Rome, Florence and Venice. Enormous amount of time was spent in Google search to collect details on the tourist attractions and accommodation and the proximity of the tourist sites from the location of stay. The more the information in Google, the more the confusion in making decisions. After scratching our head for quite few days and after eliminating many possible options, we finally made a clear plan that was workable for us. But in this post, I am not going to talk about tourist attractions, as there is already so much material available on virtual platform to guide you. All thanks to the technology. The purpose of this post is to share few of my observations and experience from this trip that might be helpful to the readers.

The Wal-Mart Way - Book Review

THE WAL-MART WAY - DON SODERQUIST I had the opportunity to read the book"THE WAL-MART WAY" when I was doing my post graduate Program in Management. This is one of the popular books among management students as the author talks about few innovative methods and techniques adopted by Wal-Mart, American Multinational Retail Corporation, to reduce the operation costs of the company, thereby providing the customers the products with low prices. "Every Day, Low Prices" was the tagline for a long time until recently when it was changed to "Save Money, Live Better" . The motto has always been to sell products at low prices. To make this happen the company adopted new practices. The book widely talks about these methods and also throws light on the work culture and attitude towards the employees. About the Author The author of this book Don Soderquist was the Chief Operations Officer (COO) and Senior Vice Chairman of Wal-Mart. He has work...

Comic Strip Centre, Brussels - Tintin, Smurf and many more

FUNNY, FICTITIOUS COMPANIONS.......... 😃😄 Tom & Jerry , Mickey Mouse , Donald Duck , Popeye , Winnie the poo and Pink Panther are few of the very famous cartoon characters among kids. In fact, I would say even adults love to watch these cartoons. I believe comics and cartoon movies amuse and entertain all of us, irrespective of our age. I still like to read comics. Even more, I love to draw these cartoons with all unique and funny faces.... The creativity has no bounds. All these funny characters and their creators have left me spellbound. Few of Tinkle's characters like Suppandi and Shikari Shambu are still my favourites. Suppandi's stupidity due to ignorance, Shikari Shambu's cowardly acts that luckily ends up being courageous and many more of tinkle's comic strips have all been hilarious. Tom & Jerry , very famous among kids need no mention. The running & catching, Jerry's acts of wittiness towards Tom, and in return Tom's act o...
