The boy and the monkey

I like to scribble something down and post without any edits. I describe myself as a lonely raider. Some sad youth living a two thousand kilometers away from everything he loves. A tender soul made to work twelve hour shifts, wear a mask and then walk around with a fully shaven face and ironed clothes- one hand in his pocket. I used to be the heartbeat of all that you call entertainment. Used to be, used to be – means not anymore. Saving all those Privilege Leaves and Casual Leaves to take a good long vacation and go home, I often forget to satisfy the man I used to be. I won’t complain unless my leave request for that dream vacation is put on hold. I can fight any fire because I have a bigger fire inside me. I have been living with it. I have never tried to put it off. Without it, I am afraid I may not exist. I connect socially (online) while travelling in the company vehicle to and from office.

Leadership in Safety and health enhances business sustainability

Safety enhances business. Healthy and safe workplaces are more productive and make businesses more sustainable. Sustainability is an emerging topic in India. What the word Sustainability in this context means is that the business should be able to sustain as it is now. It does not mean that the company should not grow.

Why should be celebrate Safety Week

The National Safety Day is celebrated on the 4 th of march every day to commemorate the foundation of the National Safety council of India. Later on the celebrations turned into a week of celebrations from 4 th to 10 th of March as the National Safety Week. Humans are prone to attach emotions to material world. The same makes them attached to the workplace where they work and spend most of their time in some way or the other and celebrate it with a whole heart along with those people with whom most of their day is spent, celebrate his joys along with that of others or just for the sake of a moment of rest from the busy lives they have. I think celebrating Safety Week isn't just about celebrating safety - it's about celebrating your work life. Whose work does one know the best, if not one's own? Nobody else in this world can be better than you yourself in telling you how to do what you do in the best possible way. The best way is the safest alternative. Whose wo...
