SAVVY VIEW

Political Terrorist- Behind Bomb blasts Bomb blasts in India are as frequent as rains in Mumbai. Hundreds are blown up into thin air everyday, leaving bloody stains on the streets and some “breaking news” behind. Someone or the other caught everyday as a scapegoat. But why those who are caught have to be “Mohds” & “Hasan” every time. I could not find answers yet. Perhaps one simple logic I did managed to get after watching the movie by Kamla hasan’s “Hay Ram”. When Hindus form some rebel group such they are called Sangh and dals and saveks & they are very much legitimate and if the same methodology is adapted by Muslims they are categorized as BANNED RELEGIOUS & anti social groups & called terrorist. Is this not amazing? I hope all my readers know the BLACK history created by all these groups time & again, recent Mumbai Vs North Indian crises, strike on Christians. Why not media play big roll to disclose the real perpetuators of these massacres in our lives? Why not...

They see my business card and at once I expect their very first question. “R U CONVERTED?” “How come Roopa Sharma Hasan.?” Trust still today I do not have an answer to this question that has been asked for 8 years by my friends, relatives and strangers. Almost 5 years back my answer was NO. BUT, for last 3 years there have been a constant war going on. I don’t know the answer yet. However my first battle in my religious fight is won. I do acknowledge and give “shaadaa” that there is only one God and no one share any place with HIM, living or non-living thing. If believing in One God is a sign of being a Muslim? YES I AM. I have started fasting during Ramadan, not because everyone else around me fast but I want to exercise my will power. I give Zakaat, not because Muslims are supposed to, because I want to. I have been to Umrah by choice to seek more info & knowledge and experience from the divine visuals of HARAM. I am keen to perform Hajj. So far my willingness to perform ...

I finished my “chalia” means 40 days visit to the temple during morning and evening “Aarti” for Durga Maa. This was suggested by one of our Jyotishi. That was to avoid any hurdle from my relationship with Nadeem. The very 40th day I had a flight from Delhi to Dubai. With this background I came here and entered in a community that was almost Alien to me. Jamia days gave me lil insight into the rituals from a distance. My relationship with Nadeem was never conditionalJ At least from his side. I had loads of conditions though to name few of them are “NO MEAT” in my house or a Kitchen. No CIRCUMCISION for my son. To be very true I did it for the sake of religion for Arman. Though I believe that we are an ultimate creation of Allah and Allah cannot create that is not perfect. I do not regret but I did not believe but I did it one thing in life for the sake of “what people will say if my son is not”4 It was when I lost my brother & my uncle; suddenly I was shattered and wanted some pea...

Am I converting – part 3 They say I am confused. I believe I am not. I know for a fact that whatever my mother did till she was alive was not something wrong. I have witnessed her belief in Oneness of Bhagwaan. I know her saying that we are all coming from one Source and going to Get There sooner or later. She was a believer. I value my past I am proud on my present and Prey for the forgiveness of ALL MIGHTY ALLAH to secure a future for me, my family and my loved once. I think I could understand, whatever little bit, I have so far is because my mind was open from the childhood and not conditioned to know only one way of Believing. Though I am grateful to God for bringing me at least at this stage of Inner-fight with my own self, I will try not to condition little brains of my kids so that when they are able to know rights & wrongs they can identify, what is “RIGHT” for them. However, for sure I will try to inculcate my understanding of my rights & wrongs. Not sure though how fa...

I feel that it's really difficult to find good real friends for HR Professionals in general and Recruitment managers in particular. Whoever we meet with, be it any professional forums, HR Meetings, workshops or trainings programs, we exchange cards for so called "networking". Next day at work, we end up receiving cvs from all the ends. This is not only at work though. If we have any personal family visits, functions or get togehter, we are introduced as a person walking with jobs in our pockets. We reach office next day and ur inbox will be with at least couple of cvs from uncles and aunts with heavy emotional recommandations by our friend or perhaps friend's friends.thanks to LINKEDINS & chain is ever lasting. If we are somehow not able to "HELP" them with a job, we LOOSE them as a friend or relative for sure. OR IN CASE if we are able to get them a job, sooner or later we are STILL going to loose them becoz THEN you hv to arrange promotions for them. ...

I used to wonder how insecure bosses do not allow their high performing subordinates to grow within their gigantic umbrella. It often happens that ghostly boss’s image seems to be so dark that either one is left with no choice except looking for an another job & resign to move on with life alongwith tremendous anxiety OR CONTINUE the STAR PERFORMANCE till you are noticed by the TOP GUY in your company. I made my own decision to go with the second option. If you find an organization as a good option to work for but boss seems to be a speed breaker, the magic is to CONTINUE WORKING HARD AND SMART because at the end of the day no organization in face of the earth will allow an employee with a difference and high contribution in a most effective & efficient way to leave, becoz of any insecure individual. My experience says no one can hide the glory of the SUN & FRAGANCE of a flower. We should work in such a manner that decision makers are forced to track you down in the organiz...

June 11, 2006 SAVE THE WORLD FROM “OQBA” Type husbands This is not a story or a tale. I am going to share a nightmare of a young bright 21year old girl. Who was married to a person selected by her parents with all the fine dreams in her eyes. This is a painful experience that my family friends had to go through and I have experienced equally throbbing emotions while I shared their sorrow. My uncle’s family is based in UAE for more than 30 years, they were a very happy, & well off family with two girls and two sons. I have always seen these two sisters laughing, enjoying and having fun. I have always seen them respecting elders, serving guests and well behaved. My aunt wanted to marry them with good self-reliant boy with a good family background, just like any common mother. I don’t think that their expectations were too high or too low. One fine day one of the close relative from KSA had suggested a boy who was working with Saudi Arabia IBM ARAMCO in IT called Oqba and settled in D...

Gandhi Vs Saddam Gandhi taught the world to live and Saddam has taught how to DIE with dignity and proud. No matter how bad or good he was as a person but to me he was a man of principles. He dreamt of a vision, & he gave up his life without any compromises on his principles. Dec 31st I was really happy to celebrate and welcome the New Year with all new set of resolutions. Very committed belief of achieving my ambitions in the year 2007. I do read newspapers and watch TV news, but not regularly. Dec 31st around 11 am in the morning I saw SADDAM EXECUTION on the TV. I was stunned to see the live execution. Saddam was Hitler to me before. I am big time fan of Mahatma Gandhi right from my childhood, and believe in his values to live life with simplicity, grace, sacrifice and serving human kind. Saddam execution and his manners and behavior in his last moments and the way he has faced the DEATH made him my HERO. I want to live my life like Gandhi and face the Death like Saddam. He has ...
