Q - QUALITY LIFE.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?


The retired man mused..

“Since I am retired with certain definite time and energies left out with me, why not I extend 'Help' and support my grown up family members who have no breathing time busy with their own tight work schedules?"

The well wisher remarked..

The ‘HELP’ which you are planning to extend to your grown-ups is

  • Really not required and
  • Not to be expected by them as much

As that 'HELP' extended sure makes them to that extent incapable forcing them lose

The essential capacity of managing everything in limited time with limited energies..

Whatever be the pressures in their lives, they should alone find time for their works and squeeze them in their schedules!"

The retired man retorted..

"Being with them should I not help my family at all?’

"Yes.. That 'GREATER HELP' from your end is nothing but doing your core works yourself and in general meeting the family essentials. Leaving those primary activities in respect of the rest, let your family members look at them as their own

  • Day to day issues of life,
  • Close them for the day to their own judgement and satisfaction,
  • Gain the rich experience of handling such sensitive issues of life and thus

Ever remain the Masters of their lives!

Agreed, a few small downfalls here and there would be there in such situations wherein the calculations go wrong.. 

Let them go wrong to the extent they are managed within the limits not jeopardizing the basics, which I feel mostly no disciplined grown-up dares to do all along you remaining,

An advisory by their side with your rich experience of life ready for exigencies and essentials!

If done so, your grown-ups,

    Not just end up knowing fishing alone in their lives when
'ALL IS WELL'

Which any how you taught them when they were growing but
  • How to equip themselves to fish too on a day when
'STARS ARE NOT IN THEIR FAVOR!'”

Clarified the well-wisher with a smile!

P - THE PERFECT PLACE!




“Let’s quickly finish lunch, get off from these boring surroundings and go to our favorite city!”

Thought the family, accordingly were out at 11 AM and moved towards the city 30 km away. Having reached the centre of the city, they straight moved to their favorite restaurant for a small bite..

“Let's enjoy one of the best snacks of this place!”

The dad said and the family soon started munching their favorite delicacies served hot amidst..

Pouring in customers,
Endless talks everywhere,
Very little leg space and
All fast movements..


Too much excitement for the family..

"Let's now go to the famous Mall oft spoken of!"

The family decided and soon were at the Shopping Mall..

Cramped parking lot,
Many, many small floor area shops,
Criss cross moving people,
Endless hustle and bustle..


Welcomed them at the Mall and it was really a feast to the eye for the next one hr..

“The Park two streets away would be ideal for play at this point of time!”

The mom said and soon the family was at that place. It was just a

Small lengthy park,
Flooded with weekend people,
Hardly any space to move and
Vehicles continuously honking and zooming on both sides of the park.. 

The family loved the place with so many children screaming, running and playing around..

“We had the best time today. It's time to return now. Let’s have some tea in the popular Refresh Centre of the place and get back home!”

The dad said and in no time all moved to the place. Amidst

Cramped small place,
Too much noise,
People almost hitting each other and
No air movement..


The dad and mom enjoyed their beloved Chai sipping slowly and children munching few snacks..

They soon started returning saying bye to their very much loved city,

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR WEEKEND!

In a short time, the car was out of the city limits and zoomed into the suburbs towards their home. As they neared their place, the children urgently needed the rest room use..

“Let's have some tea at our usual restaurant before going home as children relieve themselves!”

The family decided and having parked the car in the parking area of the restaurant as they were moving into the restaurant, a friend with his family was seen coming out..

All members soon greeted one another and after a while, the man asked,

“Were you on a job here? You came all the way from your home in the middle of the city!”


The friend smiled and said,

“No! We just wanted to get away from our routine and surroundings. We were very hungry and wanted to have some food in the restaurant adjacent to the park amidst..

Few customers,
Soft talks around,
Ample leg space and
All gentle movements..


Then we walked thru' the Main Market with

Plenty of Parking space,
Few orderly laid out shops,
Leisurely moving people and
Calm and cool surroundings..


We felt like visiting the big park and indeed had a very good time there. Such a great park so close to you..

Huge lengthy park,
Few visitors,
Lots of space to move and
Fresh air everywhere with silence ruling all over..


Thought of dropping at your place but then we felt that you too would need the weekend to relax and get refreshed..

We just wanted to have some tea in this place before heading homewards with

Vast seating area,
Soft talk next to you,
People smiling at each other and
Cool breeze from all corners..


I tell you.. We are very much impressed with your place and for anyone, we strongly recommend it

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR WEEKEND!

By the way, forgot to ask..

From where are you coming and how did you spend your day?”

O - OH.. WHAT A SOOTHING CUSTOMER CARE!!

In the Boss’ Chamber..

“My dear Manager, You know.. It seems, your that boy Sampath had called our Chief Customer Mr Swaroop on phone last evening. He should have walked down to his office to clarify his doubt and you should have instructed your man to do that alone. Yaar, remember. In this Company, our GM and MD alone can call our Chief Customer on phone.. 

Right now, go the Customer’s Office along with your Supervisor and convey our apologies to the Chief for calling on phone. Do this, else our business will face hurdles in coming days!”

“OK! Sir! Right now, I’ll do that!”

At the Customer’s Office..

“Sir! we apologize on behalf of one of my Assistants for directly calling you on phone. We are sorry about that!”

“Look, dear! Your Assistant does this and you say sorry on his behalf. I won’t accept.. Do one thing.. Right now, call your Assistant and warn him not to repeat the mistake.  Please do that first!”

“Ok! Sir! I’ll do that..”

Saying thus, the Manager turned to his Supervisor and said, 

"Ring up to your boy now and tell him...."

In the next few minutes, the Supervisor was heard talking to the Assistant in low tone from a corner of the room, 

“Hi! Swaroop! What are you thinking about yourself, I say? Why did you call our Customer Chief on his phone? Mr Swaroop! Be careful and listen to me.... And promise me that you don’t repeat this any more. You are a small man in our Department to talk to a big man like that on phone!”

As the advising thus continued, the Ma
nager sheepishly was briefing the Chief in a softer tone, 

"Sir! My Supervisor had told his boy what all required. That boy will never repeat this mistake once again. His full name is Sampath Swaroop. They all call him by his second name many times. OK! Sir! I take leave now.. Once again sorry for all the trouble we gave you. Bye! Sir!"

N - "NOTHING HAPPENS!"


"Sir! How could you turn out such a huge business venture so successfully?"

"I had a series of ideas like
  • Why not manufacture something, sell it in the market and make a living?
  • Why not improve the product to suit the ever changing customer demand for a small extra price?
  • Why not purify the product to International Standards wherein the actual benefit can nullify the increased price?
  • Why not fortify the product with the ingredients lost in the process of refinement with a price increase where in the customer would be happy to pay?
  • Why not compress the ingredients so that more is accommodated in less space and thus cut down on transport and storage costs?
Further to these, to rope in the rich and sophisticated segment, I had ideas..
  • Why not improve the product by picking up the raw material from the remote forest areas of nil pollution with a sizable increase of price in parallel continuing the low priced items of the existing standards with a moderate price increase as per market conditions?
And
  • In the next few years, why not concentrate on purifying, fortifying and compressing the new product, charge more successively and thus continue?
And beyond to catch the attention of the super rich group too I thought,
  • Why not improve the quality of packing which covers the product fully and comes in contact for a longer time with the product thus widening the customer base with a substantial price rise retaining the earlier 2 levels of customers in the field?
"Is that the end?"
  • "No.. Never.. Further improve the packing of the super rich segment product too by procuring its raw materials from...."
"Sir! You are so plain in speaking all this. If this is leaked out..?"

"Nothing happens.. 

People who use my product have no time to listen here and change their usage habit drastically!"

M - MOTHER'S LOVE.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?

The mother was unhappy. The two and half yr old Little One stopped listening to her..

“Eat that food!”

She ordered. The child with a smile took the food near to his mouth and threw it down..

She was annoyed..

“Unless you eat, I'll not buy you your toy!”

She showed her resistance.. The child didn't listen to her.

“Let’s go to the play ground now!”

She said and took her boy there. All the while, she kept silence..

At play within half hr, there was a scuffle and a complaint came up that the little boy troubled another kid of the same age. The mother became furious, instantly cut down the play time and brought the child back home..

“Hereafter, I'm not taking you anywhere and buying you anything. Go and do what you want!"

She with all firmness said and kept quite..

The child looked here and there but the mother never yielded. His only reference was his mother and when she became tough, for a while he pretended bravely that he could put up. That was the limit, soon it resulted in a big cry and subsequently comforted by his mother, he slept off for the day..

The next day being a holiday, the family was on its usual outing in the evening. On the way, the kid was looking at his

  • Play items in the shops, 
  • Favorite eating place and 
  • Fun Center for kids.. 

Silently following his mother. About an half hr went thus..

Suddenly, there was a broad smile on the mother's face and that lighted instantly a 100 watt bulb on the child's.. That's all.. The kid returned home

  • With so much happiness of his life, 
  • Fully satisfied with the evening he spent having great excitement and 
  • Was eagerly looking at and trying to play with all that he purchased and brought home.. 

The mother was behind him with her own sweet questions..

  • “Dear! How was your favorite drink at......?” 
  • “How was the play at.......?’ 
  • “Do you like your new tri-cycle purchased?" 
  • “Do you like the new aero plane we bought in your toy shop?" 

“Do you like your Mommy?”

"So,

  • You will listen to me.. 
  • You will eat all the healthy food I give you daily.. 
  • You will never hurt your friends at your play.. 

Promise?”

The child with a big smile nodded his head for all hugging his mother tight. Instantly, the mother took him and comforted him and in no time the little one went into blissful sleep in the lap of his mother with her love eternally spread over him!

God was in all smiles from above..

'That's why I created the Mother on the Earth..

Whatever said and done and whatever be the actions and reactions, the single aim in this relation is

EVER BETTERMENT

Comprising of endless

SACRIFICES

And no other interest has a place here at any point of time!'

K- 'KINGDOM LOST' TO 'KINGDOM GOT BACK!'



“Sir, I am doing my best around. But still I attract criticism in my doings. If I miss anything there, I agree that it's my fault and I've to correct the same. And I'm ready too to make up any loss or damage that resulted because of that..

But people around me never understand this and ever talk something or other on my doing saying that what I do is not the right..

I'm unhappy and sometimes feel like stopping all these works and get off from the scene!"

“Dear! To distinguish between the right and the wrong is not that simple.. What appeals to me max here is a little more correct compared to what appeals to others. That’s all..

The infinite gap between the Original Truth and what I perceive in life is my ignorance. This is associated with simultaneous feelings of

Conflict,
Guilt and
Repentance


In me together called strife in life.. No doubt, when it strikes,

It appears profound,
Feels like that life is not worth living
With a deep negative feeling of something missing!


The reason for this feeling is that my ‘self’ is not recognized for a moment and I wish very much the same recognized at any cost!

Tell me, how much am I correct here in pointing out people around me when actually I too can't cross my limit and understand my right a bit better?

If you catch this point, it's evident that the only safe way of living the moment is..

‘Continue doing all the essential works without a stop!’

No doubt, a difficult task and those moments of continuing doing the essential works do look like a total loss of personality.. A feeling of

'My kingdom is lost!'

But when I involve thus patiently, that’s all.. I've conquered myself and

'My kingdom is back to me!'

In a definite time depending on the level of hurt, I would be seeing an equal level of calmness along with the good accrued out of the right deeds done by me in time!


Remember the Sun God ever rises in the East and never stops setting in the west after 12 hrs of duty of heating the half globe and continue that for the next 12 hrs on the other half without a sec rest let whatever be happening on the earth..

Isn't it my No 1 duty here to pay the Salutations to the God of our life with a promise that I too never stop doing my job in the right way known to me without a single concern for what others talk on my doing equally not questioning on their limitation?"
