Roller Coaster

 


Just imagine the following scene and try to imagine the feelings that you would have for each and every step when you take a roller coaster ride:

  1. You're in an amusement park and you see a very good roller coaster,
  2. You have decided to take that ride and standing in the queue,
  3. Your turn comes and you brace yourself with the belts,
  4. The Roller coaster starts with a jerk,
  5. Slowly moving towards the peak and stops for a while in between,
  6. Then with a jerk moves to the peak and stops for free fall,
  7. Here comes a twist and turns, ups and downs, 
  8. Finally stops.

Phew!!!!!! Hope you have imagined the feelings in each and every step, For me it goes like this typically, 

  1. Love to get into the ride
  2. Curious & Excited
  3. Anxious
  4. Fear
  5. Afraid
  6. Joy + Fun
  7. Entertainment 
  8. That's it????????

During my 10th session of MOB, Prof. Viji was not, as usual, she used to be in the class, all of a sudden she started to behave like a school teacher, blasted almost more than half of the class, and left the online session. All of us are clueless :(, the moment she left the class we did not even realize what's happening around and had discussions in Webex and in Whatsapp group. Someone in the group even asked whether she was mocking her behavior and all of the sudden she came joined back with a gala song playing and she was dancing for the same, till the moment she joined back we had gone through few emotions which we often encounter.  In a matter of 5 minutes, I think most of us had a similar experience like a roller-coaster ride. 

That's where she pitched and said that session is all about emotions! Why did she do so? As the session is all about emotion she wanted to make sure that we are able to identify the typical encounters w.r.t to emotions in our day today's life! 

Handling emotions is a challenging task especially for myself as far as I know and what I have learned are the following:

  • It's highly impossible to control emotions
  • Let the emotions flow freely but, make sure you don't hurt while it's flowing
  • Build insulation within yourself in such a way that others emotions are not affecting you
  • When you're dealing with -ve emotions try to take it easy and divert yourself as much as possible
  • With your emotional competence try to inspire others.
  • At work, there is no place for hard feelings :D. 
Thank you for reading, let's catch up in the next post!!!!

What's RLJ & Why RLJ?

What is RLJ? RLJ, is one of the acronym that I'm connected to the most when compared to other acronyms in my life span, each and every cells in my body is aware of what is RLJ and what made RLJ a unique. RLJ is a symbol of trust that's been developed/built from the scratch for about 6-7 decades, I'm sure developing trust is one of the most hard part in this world and maintaining that same trust also requires same amount of contributions. Though RLJ is very much associated to my family, when I wanted to choose my carrier I have decided not get into RLJ for a while and I'm still staying away from it. Why I'm stay away? when it has its own charisma,  because of the obsession & possessiveness that my father and grandfather holds with it and during my late teens & early 20's I was a bit skeptical to get myself associated along with them, as they had devoted their life entirely for it without any rest or entertainment thinking only to get RLJ running in full t...

DM

In social media era, when I say DM then our minds would definitely think about Direct Message. Unfortunately, I'm going to reflect my thought on D ecision M aking in this post as part of reflective journal for session - 7 & session - 8. Everyone of us irrespective of our age we would have made few decisions in our life knowingly or unknowingly and the decision to be taken might be as big as rolling out a reform in a country or it can be choosing one toy over other by a child. The following are few questions and answers that I perceive with respect to decision making. Is it easy to decide? I would say yes, no and maybe  Will my decision be constant irrespective of number of time(s) I need to decide? May be no from my side. Will someone collide with our decision given the same parameters? there is a high probability for collision. So the question is why there is a lot of uncertainty with respect to DM? I think its basically because, before we decide, an array of factors...
