The so called 'Best Service' around....


“You have been selected as one of our Esteemed Customers…. Please visit our Branch Office at………. and experience the Unique additional Customer Care...." was the message on the mobile phone....

The man was thrilled…. A long time pending issue with him needed a solution….. "It is a Special Attention now I am getting…. Let me get full clarification with this extra care from the Service Provider…." the man thought....

Accordingly on a particular day, he visited the Branch Office…. No doubt, what they said was a fact…. Knowing that he was their Esteemed Customer, h
e was instantly welcomed and was quickly lead into an A/C Chamber….

The area was neatly arranged….. Sofas to one side, where in the Customers were seated and on the opposite side, Help Desks 3 in number with a young man and young woman moving around to assist the activities…. 
In the Center, was a Table with beautiful Decorative Flowers on it along with a few News Papers and Magazines by the side…. The cool weather of the Chamber was truly relaxing for any one who just entered in getting off from the heat of outside…..

One of the Assistants politely offered Coffee for the man and he refused the same with a smile….

In no time, the man’s turn came, he was lead to one of the Desks and the gentleman at the Counter listened to the man in full about his pending problem, took his papers, went through them thoroughly for a while and said, “Sir! Everything is crystal clear here and yours is a straight forward case.... Please, bear with us for a few days…. We will get back to you…. Till that time you please relax…. Nothing to worry!” having said that he bid bye to his Esteemed Customer with a broad smile….

The man was quite relieved as his pending problem was thus fully taken care in no time…. He waited for a week… 
But, nothing great happened…. And his problem continued…. He was thus unhappy and was planning to ring up the concerned, the next working day….

That evening, the man was on his usual walk in the Park and after the walk, as he was resting there for a while, he overheard a few lines of conversation between two contemporary men of his age sitting a little away….

“I had the problem for a week…. I went to the Branch at …… and there was a big queue…. I had to wait for over an hr to get my turn…. But the waiting was worth…. The man at counter 12 is the right man to clarify to you on this…. I went to him, he in no time set right the issue in front of me and said, ‘Done!’ That all; my problem is resolved forever!"


"One more info for you.... When you enter the Main Building, never go on to the right into the A/c Room….That is not for us…. That is for a few VIP Customers…. I don’t know what they do there….”

As the man thought over, slowly it became evident to him that it was nothing but more of a 'Show' that was offered to him at the Branch Office without the real ‘Know-how’ with the people who were supposed to resolve his issue….. In that way, he got from the 'Exclusive Best Service' from the Service Provider losing the 'Truly Best Service' which the normal man was getting all the time….

R - THE RUTHLESSNESS AROUND! A2Z 2026

It's ruthlessness.. 
  • Hard working people have no time to relax and express. Easy going one are left with plenty of time making themselves cling on to issues that are least important..
  • Knowledgeable people many times are behind the less knowledgeable ones who keep them under their grip thru' the tentacles of their own ignorance..
  • Good people often go silent where not so good ones talk volumes and volumes..
  • Honest people are the ones behind all the show going on around; insincere ones claim all that non stop..
  • Humble people take many blames without reacting; Haughty people react to single questioning..
  • Silent people console and stay with the suffering ones in tough situations; the talking ones make noise with lip sympathy and leave at the earliest..
  • Cheerful people cheer up their surroundings in no time; the grumpy ones dump their problems making surroundings gloomy in less than that time..
  • Helping people extend a firm hand and try pulling out the affected from real difficulty; non helping ones boast themselves as helping max but vanish from scene the earliest..
  • Kind people talk little but do max worthy; unkind ones talk on and on non stop doing no great worth..
  • Broad minded people know what Oneness means and try grouping many together; narrow minded ones talk volumes on Oneness constantly dividing people, the liked and the disliked!

It is really ruthlessness!

Q - THE QUALITY LIFE.. WHAT IT'S LIKE? A2Z 2026


Let my Family be taken care out of the expression of inbuilt self interest within me but 
Let the rights of the Family Members be always honored through a dispassionate selfless attitude..

Let my Profession be pursued out of a deep self interested drive within me to express in a unique way but 
Let the hard Work done in connection with that be purely on the basis of a selfless attitude alone..

Let my Personal Take-care be out of a self preserving attitude in me but 
Let taking caring of the next person to me to a level my status expects me to do in the situation be at the back of selflessness alone..

Let my indulgence be minimum in Worldly Enjoyments to requirement of the thrust within me but 
Let a selfless service be too follow that by streamlining my self interested activities..

Let the Artistic Quality in me be definitely out of a deep rooted self expression but anything beyond that be avoided through a selfless attitude for greater good..

Let the Environment be modified to the minimum extent for the self expression of mine with all ease but beyond that for all other luxuries, let me say no to this self interest and look at the aspects of Environment Preservation more selflessly in the greater interests of all..

Let me Pray to God out of the deep self expression within me which is part of my own culture and brought up but when it comes to the Worship carried out by the person next to me, let me honor the same equally through a selfless behavior..

Let this balance in my life be ever maintained thus between the 
Self Expressive Tendency 
(which I naturally love to do) 
and 
Selfless Behavior 
(which in general is good for me)
allowing the life go on AS IS
as
what is being Truly Selfless is
totally unknown to me at this moment
and
when that moment dawns on me too
can never be equally predicted.. 
May be the next moment 
May be after countless births on this earth 
but till that time,
the only safe way here to sail thru' my life is..

THE GOLDEN MEAN PATH!

N - A FIRM 'NO' IN THE BIGNIING ITSELF IS WISDOM AT TIMES! A2Z 2026


A King visited the distant prosperous Kingdom on a request call..

He spent a few days there and the King of the prosperous Kingdom quickly showed him all those extra facilities he provided for his people in their routine life..

The King got very much inspired with all that and on return, decided to provide the same for his people too. The friendly King of prosperous Kingdom in no time offered the expertise help required there with no cost at some places and with a small cost at other places and promised to continue giving that support..

The wise Minister raised his objection for the implementation of the new schemes saying that it was not a feasible idea for his people. The King snubbed him off in no time as enough finances were there in the Treasury for the support. The ambitious scheme was soon through..

In few weeks, the specific facilities were with people at every corner. The King felt..
  • 'Where there's a will there's a way!' 
After all it was not a difficult job.. His ambition was to go ahead with the next program that was lurking in his mind..

But there was an issue.. A serious one indeed..

The facilities at various points in the kingdom in short time started giving problems of maintenance and upkeep. An attempt was made to address the same but found that it was a Herculean job to do that as..
  • Expertise was not available around to look into the problems which had to be subsequently purchased continuously from the prosperous Kingdom at high cost, 
  • Spares were not available to the number required, 
  • A few available had prohibitive price as the quality had to be maintained and 
  • Spurious spares which were in no time in the market started giving problems the next day of their fitment.. 
In no time, the precious life saving finances, energies and time had to be diverted to maintain the ambitious Project going on which was impossible to do..

Thus, soon the facilities at all points in the kingdom were closed and people were back to their own ingenious ways of living their life without them. The king was a just a mute watcher in front the whole Project being shelved through..

The wise Minister was right,
  • 'What you can't maintain through out the life, you should never have in the beginning itself!'

M - MANAGING AT WORK.. WHAT'S MISSING OFTEN THEREIN? A2Z 2026

“I'm the Manager in my Department and I have the responsibility of taking care of my work progress in my area and the Company's property. The owner of the Company has very much bestowed this responsibility on me. But when I act thus, I'm often vehemently opposed by my own people. But this task is with me and unless I tell strongly and make them feel responsible, am I not working against the wishes of my owner?" 

“Dear! I very much emphasize that forever you should act in time and set right the issues in front of you. Else your duty is incomplete and you will be actually dishonoring the faith your Employer had kept in you. Okay?"

"Right Sir!"

"But a small point here.. When you do thus, without your own knowledge an element of ownership enters you that you own the Enterprise and the related and that's why you should tell all that at any cost. Am I correct?”

“I agree with you Sir! I get a feeling that it's my Company and I should take care. But what's wrong in that?”

“To tell you 100% right, you are not the owner here but just have a Manager's Role in your work area; neither a bit more nor less of it at this point of time. Sure, as a Manager alone you should question, act and pass orders and never with a ownership feeling.. 

With such an attitude, when you instruct your people, it sure goes into their heart and they feel that seriousness deep within and in that scenario, they see in front of them that your are not instructing but there's just an 'Instruction' and they got to follow that. This Spirit in Nature prevailing around us, automatically guides them there and soon they start loving their work.. 

  • When the Great Personality instructed His followers not to give back but bear the assault aimed at them Himself taking the assault right in front of them, the followers too patiently took the beatings without resisting nor getting off from the scene! 

No doubt, that was truly possible for the Great Personality as a True Leader when He disowned Himself in total but myself being very much limited would never do at that level but at my own very much possible and should do my bit of disowning too and thus present myself before my Assistants who sure in no time react to that tiny sacrifice I do in the situation and mold themselves to follow the right.. 

What else do you want if that happens in black and white right in front of you?
