Tonight I feel like doing unusual things so I painted a glass of water beside a pale blue ocean. The goldfish from within the glass is smiling at me.

Can I wish something?
So How's life?
... So, how's life?

How does it feel?
Like hot ginger tea, on a rainy afternoon.
Like sparkling stars, near the crescent moon.
Like autumn leaves, dancing in the breeze.
Like fresh droplets of dew, on flowers of misty trees.
Like taste of freedom after ten long years.
Like bright sun rays when the weather clears.
Like first words from your baby's lips.
Like touch of your lover's fingertips.
Like home made food after a long day.
Like a father's smile, receiving his child's first pay.
Like a mother's hug, nurturing and warm.
Like finding shelter in a windy storm..
Now imagine feeling all this at once.
THAT!
That's how it feels to be loved by someone you love
When you are to be afraid of loving her
And She refuses to be within you but she is present there.
To be with her to be not be with is what you can desire.
Like the autamn falls in the absence of winter
I Fall for you day everyday like it is meant to be.

The unfortunate perception about Sales.
Although today's sales force is comprised of intelligent and ethical individuals, an unfortunate negative perception still exists about the occupation. In addition to countless representations of greedy, pushy salespeople popularised in movies, We've all witnessed the stereotype of the "typical salesperson," focused entirely on the short-term benefit of a single sale. Along with the annoyance factor, This negative perception might make it difficult for salespeople to establish themselves as trustworthy consultants.
The lousy salesmen have this question constantly in their minds "Why don't we get enough appointments." When you think about the reasons, it's easy to see: We waste the time of the people we want to see! We don't create value in every interchange we have with the customer. No wonder they refuse to speak with us.
Consider this scenario. How often have you overheard someone mention a "Howdy Call?" These are a pure waste of everyone's time.
What about sales calls where the salesperson's sole purpose is to pitch the newest product? "How are you doing?" was their only question. (And they didn't even wait for an answer before starting their pitch.)
What about the unprepared salesperson? Too many of us are quick-witted, that's part of what makes us good, but shooting from the lips does not compensate for lack of planning.
If we all do one thing, we can shift the way salespeople are perceived. If we start doing one thing, customers will open their doors and answer their phones.
In every interaction with our customers, we must add value! We are wasting their time if we do not. If we can't identify the value we'll generate when planning a meeting, we're not ready for it and must cancel it.
Instead of thinking about how we can sell a product, we should consider how we can help clients. By doing so, we will be able to stay focused on the fundamental goal of solving problems and creating value. This creates a different language that conveys to customers that we are putting them first and goes a long way toward dispelling the negative perception of sales professionals.

Thought of the day !!

Backspace
Open facebook.
“What's on your mind?” It asks. Think about her. Open her profile. No new updates. Open messenger. Type her name. Active now.
“Hey, I am missing you.” Press backspace. “I need some time. I will talk tomorrow,” she had said.
Go back to scrolling endlessly.
Turn off the net. Lock the phone. Turn it back on again after 30 mins. Type that 16 characters long password in a haste. Incorrect password. Type again. Pull down the notification bar. 13° in your location, that's all it says. The phone beeps.
Open WhatsApp. 430 messages from 110 chats. Sadly, none from her. Open her thread. The hearts and the kisses were still there. “I love you.” Backspace again.
Put on the headphones. Create a new playlist just for the night. Don't forget to add “killing me to love you” and “total eclipse of the heart” to the playlist.
It's almost 3 am. Toss and turn in the bed a little, overthink a lot before finally sleeping. The night has ended. Perfect now. Wake up, check your phone.
5 AM: You have two missed calls.

Patronize her!!
Can you do me a favor?
Today, when your maid knocks at your door, greet her with a smile. When she enters your home, tell her to sit down.(make sure, she doesn't sit on the floor, arrange a chair for her.)
Bring a glass of water for her - the same glass in which your children drink water and make sure she knows it.
When she is gulping down the water, ask her how she is. Yes, just about herself and not what her husband is up to and if the neighbor is having an affair.
By now, she is extremely surprised and overwhelmed.
It might be the first time, you haven't handled her the list of the chores she has to do that day and you have bothered to talk to her.
Every person has a good and bad day. On bad days, they don't like to work.
Perhaps, she just visited you, and you started to scold her for being late. Had you noticed the red mark on her wrist? Her husband was trying to steal the money for alcohol. You added to her pain. Make sure, you don't do when the next time it happens.
I assure you it will take away nothing from you and she will get something costlier than the money she works for.

What went *WRONG*
We actually went wrong in the Biology class.
When my teacher drew two illegible circles on the blackboard and made a dot in their centres, the boys were controlling their laughter behind their books and the girls were overly embarrassed.
These are her's, one of the boys suggested, pointing his finger at a girl.
No, she doesn't have this big, someone else commented.
Before one more boy could give his opinion, only her school bag was there. We didn't see the girl after the incident. Disguised by our response, my teacher labelled the diagram in a grotesque manner and declared the rest as a homework.
Shouldn't have my teacher made the boy stand in his place and brusquely told him that breasts are just like the other organs of a woman's body and reminded him that he needed it for his bones to be in the correct order?
Maybe, the girl would have gotten some air to breathe; she's too young to bear what she had gone through.
Devastatingly, it's not limited to the Biology class.
When two girls would together take the permission to go to the washroom, boys would get the new topic to discuss.
This girl is in her periods, fingers would rise again.
Don't sit beside her--you'll catch an HIV infection, pieces of advice would be given.
Had only there were awareness programs organised to make them aware of menstruation, boys would have brought chocolates in the place of horrifying judgements.
Today, a writer tried debunking the myth that education can break down the rape culture--in his words--my fingers begged me to write how misleading the idea is.
Education can indeed break down the rape culture if given at the right time and at the right place.

The girl who had been unmarried since years suddenly becomes an air hostess after applying a fairness cream for few weeks.
The boy who had been unemployed since a long time becomes the CEO of a company after drinking mass gainer.
The moment a woman's hair shines, her husband gets flattered.
To be called a man, you should not have an inflated tummy.
You know your children will stay dumb if they will not add the chocolate powder in their milk.
To graduate from a foreign university, you need to be tall.
Struggling to concentrate for an examination? Wear costly socks.
You do not need a bulletproof jacket to protect yourself, but do not forget to wear a banyan.
If you are not getting the love of your life, wear a branded underwear.
Do not roam the streets after having applied a good deodorant; you can be behind the bars for creating accidents on the roads.
To sell well, you just have to do two things:
1. Make people feel worthless.
2. Make a fool out of them.
