Shipra Di (11-Feb-2018)

I was 20-21 when I started working with a Recruitment consulting in Delhi. We were 17 people & I was the only male. Things were really good, one of my colleagues became my GF as well. :-) And then that fateful day, I had a small altercation with "Shipra di" on some small issue pertaining to calling up a client. She was 35-36, married, seemed extremely nice to me. I used to call her "Di" (Elder sister) & she would treat me like a younger brother. The small altercation became big, and she left the office before time. In the evening I realized that I should not have spoken to her that way, not because who was wrong or Right but simply because she was elder to me. I called her to say sorry, she did not pick. I eventually messaged her saying "I AM SORRY DI" Next morning, our Director called me & explained, Shipra di had blamed me for "Sexual Harassment", that time I did not know what exactly was that. But he explained that this was serious and a  "Crime". I got to know I was giving "Sexual hints" to her for some time & she had already spoken with her Husband as well. I was dumbstruck. She came to the office, cried, I said sorry to her in front of everyone. She had a "Kind heart" she forgave me. BUT... From that day, I stopped calling her "Di". Anupam Sharma Shlok #Anupamism 

Do you love what you have? (11-FEB-2018)

#You are 34 As a cricketer, you have approached your retirement age. You are too young to become President of India. #You scored 90 percentile in CAT Most B- Schools will take you. Best B-Schools will not take you. #Your caste is under the Reserved category. Congrats, Much easier to get into Top education institution, getting a decent Job. People have Prejudices against you.They don't consider you worth even if you top General Merit. #You are Retired and last drawn salary was 40 thousand. Freshers get more than you. You earned more than 90% population. #You are in India. You dream of migrating to US, Australia, Canada. People in Iraq, Syria, Palestine are jealous of your life. #You have 2 BHK flat at suburban & you are retired. People buy 4 BHK in Posh Locality when they are 30. People are born and die on Roads. It does not matter what you have.Important is are you satisfied with what you have. On one hand desires are Limitless, On the other hand, Life has its own way to tackle your arrogance.

Do you want to reach the top? (13-Feb-2018)

Remember, "Top" is a lonely place. You sacrifice your relations to be there. You miss the opportunity to laugh with the people who should really matter in your life, people who love to see you grow.  When you reach the top, People you interact with, look appreciative of what you have achieved but they want to "Replace you" by hook & Crook. The whole History is a witness of the point that "Top" is not a safe place to be. Would you prefer dying as a relatively poor but "Jindadil " or as a Super Rich but "Alone" & "Insecure"? "People with Knowledge" were the most respected bunch of people in the Ancient world."People with Power" were the most respected bunch in the last centuries.This time belongs to "People with Money". But never forget to "Live" while earning "Livelihood" Cheers!! The most beautiful thing in the Life is Life itself. Anupam Sharma Shlok #Anupamism

Numbers lie (15-Feb-2018)

#Sachin scored 18426 runs in 463 matches with a batting average of 44.83 #Kohli has already scored 9459 in 207 matches with an average of 57.32.

#KapilDev scored 3783 runs in 225 matches with an average of 23.8 Statistics suggest Kohli a way better batsman. But Statistics does not tell you that Sachin scored these runs against Macgrath, Lee, Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib, Warne, Murli, Ambrose, Vaas, Donald. And Kohli scored against...?

Do you remember Sachin's back to back centuries against hashtag#Australia at Sharjah?

Kapil's 175 against Zimbabwe? Statistics, Numbers are important but often Misguide. Scoring 70% Marks in 12th is good or bad? Ask someone who has passed 12th from UP board before 2005. I saw someone abusing his 12000 connections on #Linkedin for not helping him in getting a job. I still remember writing a #Facebook post when my Saving Account showed me 100000 Rs. for the first time. A billion Dollar company- Sounds good? What if the same company was 4 Billion Dollar Last year.
Death of a 65 Years old? Life expectancy in Japan is 84 & in Angola 52. What is your age? In 1947 life expectancy was 31 years in India. Your Bank Balance, Marksheets, CTC, ROI, Demat, Credit score all should look good, but these factors do not decide meaningfulness of your life. Our Life has become an obsession to improve all these numbers & statistics, without realizing that the most blissful people we know remained untouched of this silliness. Do you think you were born to count numbers? Anupam S Shlok #Anupamism

Which Category are you?(6-Feb-2018)

Most #Intelligent people in this world are already out of world's reach. The first thing they realize is "It's all meaningless".(Obviously, they are not on #Linkedin)

#Mediocre see dreams, fight with other mediocre to Rule or impress a significant population, & want to sell Services, Products, Talent to them.

Remember, anyone who claims "I am #dumb", is not. 

Interestingly, the Real potential is the #Confused category. They, at times, feel "What are we doing, it's all meaningless", 5 minutes later they motivate themselves to establish most innovative organization Human history has ever seen. And while saying this, they think they are not Dumb.

I am a Proud #Confused.

Women in our Lives(1-Feb-2018)

Yesterday Morning, I asked my girlfriend, if a vegetable seller gives 1.5 kg potato in 20 rupees, what is the price of 1 kg potato?

She took almost 20 minutes to answer this. I made fun of her for hours.

In the evening I told her that I was not feeling well and I did not know why?

Since that moment she is on phone with me, trying to do all the funniest thing to make me feel good, she slept with her phone on, skipped her dinner, called my sister if everything is good.

Do I deserve this care & Love? Most men are not. Do we give enough respect and recognize the massive role of women in making our lives beautiful? Imagine a world created by men and compare with this we have.Imagine a world without mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters. Men have always been a war machine. Were we capable to understand the true meaning of Humanity & Love?

We don't realize that how often we hurt Women in our lives. When was the last time you had taken a walk with your mother? For you, it may not mean much. But for a mother, that would be an amazing moment. They find happiness in subtle things and shower the happiness back million fold.

"I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior and always have been."
