World Mental Health Day ... Talk to someone :)

 From my point of view, the most important / crucial / useful words of wisdom on this subject is - "Talk to Someone" 

If something is troubling you (in your head); talking to a good friend who will understand is definitely a great idea and something you shouldn't hesitate to do.


All I would like to add is that I am #OpenToConversations 

If you feel stuck, stressed, trapped, emotionally drained, or any of those feelings that seem to weigh you down .... I am #opentoconversations 

Open for individuals as individuals ... playing roles in their personal lives :) ... conversation as a friend ! Sometimes, you might be open to a complete stranger about things you can't discuss with people who know you (things ranging from self-doubt and lack of confidence to larger things)  

And also open to conversations with managers, senior managers, L&D teams, CXOs regarding their concerns about their teams, business etc. I may or may not offer solutions (most probably will not) but the conversation itself will help you either lighten the load or even give you some insights into the solution. 


Let me Repeat - if something is troubling you (in your head); talking to a good friend who will understand is definitely a great idea and something you shouldn't hesitate to do.

Random Musing: Tried to find an image related to mental health and nothing really clicked. And then I saw this photo of mine speaking on stage at a recent event. Looking at my pics taken while I am speaking, I can be mistaken for dancing on the stage :) Too much 'moving hands all around' and little talking :) On the whole, having a lot of fun while being on stage. I love the stage.

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
