Great reflective pics!!! Does it reflect on our economy(BMW with bullock cart)! Does it reflect any HR implication & emerging HR trends!
By seeing these pics I remember those posters which the HR dept posts in communicating to employees, specially when they just put up THE PICS WITHOUT ANYTHING MENTIONED which rises the curiosity among the employees rather than the normal ones which employees tend to bypass thinking that "any ways if any thing important arises, it would be directed to their mail box."
Engagement is holistic. One cannot be ignorant about what goes in an employee life outside the organization, the hardhsips that he faces, the ordeals that he has to go thrugh everyday just to reach his office and plan engagement programs. Mumbai and new York are two different worlds and hence engagement plans must account for that.
Thanks Dev for your cooments.

Cheers,

Teach your sons to respect Women!

How much is too much? Sexual violence against women goes unabated. The recent Mumbai rape of a photo journalist , gang-rape of a ladyconstable at the hands of dacoits in Jharkhand are stark reminders that nothing has changed since the Nirbhaya’s case in Delhi. And rape is not the only kind of sexual violence that women face in our country. Another growing menace is acid attacks. The BBC documentary below is nerve-racking as it shows the acid attack victims and their unimaginable sufferings. Most of such attacks have happened against young women who refuse the advances of unsolicited males. Why had India seen a spurt in cases of sexual violence in India? What’s behind this growing brutality? Is there anything wrong with the men and boys in our country? There is everything wrong in the way they are brought-up in our society. We seldom teach our sons to be respectful of girls and women. And most of them see how mothers and sisters are treated in the househol...

Ass(h)am(e) on us!

A mob in Guwahati , Assam, gropes, molests and strips a teenage girl in full public glare for 30 minutes before help comes in the form of police. No one comes to the rescue of the hapless girl. Reportedly, a TV journalist induced the mob to do the act. Some officers in the administration reportedly make light of the incident. A U.P. Khap Panchayat has issued a decree according to which all girls and women under the age of 40 must stay indoors. The older ones who are allowed to step-out must cover their faces with cloth like that of a corpse. What more…a state minister has reportedly supported the Khap’s diktat. A class VIII student is sexually assaulted by a bus driver in Hyderabad that leaves her traumatized. Despite the complaints by the parents, the authorities fail to act. In the past one month there has been series of sexual crimes against minors in India. What kind of society do we live-in? A society that treats its girls and women as cattle, or may be even worse! All i...

Formula for Perfect Indian Bride = ......

' Alliance invited for our only son (29/5'8"), well-settled, working in a MNC from a  fair, slim, beautiful, educated, smart homely girl. Please contact 00-000000' - a typical matrimonial classified advertisement that you will find in our newspapers. Looks a normal matrimonial ad except when you look closely through the fine print, that is never written in the ads but always spelt and meant in majority marriage alliances in the country. What's the fine print? Well, the fine print goes like this - a. The girl should be FAIR complexioned, fairer than the whites! No marks on skin and face should be glowing. This is true even if the boy looks as if he has just been to the coal mine. b. The girl should be Slim - she should have a good figure. The out of shape, 'ALL' size wearing boys also want in-shape girls. c. The girl should be Educated but not more than the boy. The girl can be successful, intelligent but not more than the boy. d. The girl sho...
