Last week me and my better half Shashi were packed for a surprise vacation to Bali, Indonesia. The packaging was done by our wonderful daughters Nikita and Hitisha who along with their other cousins planned a short trip of 5 days & 4 Nights. The visit was very well planned in which every small factor was properly taken care of by them. I can't express my feelings for this wonderful gift to us in words but feel so much proud about their capabilities, dedication and decisions. As students they had planned this since last two years and had saved from pocket money so they can send their parents for a vacation . It is really matter of great satisfaction and proud for me as a parent of such wonderful kids.

Bali is a good tourist place in South Asia which dominated by Hindus . A well maintained tourism spots, points and good people. People of Bali are aware that tourism is major source of their revenue and hence tourist shall be given the best.

In politics any thing is possible and there is no friends nor foes. Recently the BJP and SS fought elections jointly in Lok Sabha and immediately thereafter parted after 25 Years' of association. The reason is quite simple- it is business and every one is fighting for survival and growth. Hence every one is associated with each other but no one permanently attached. The decisions of joining and parting are taken on the basis of various factors . No one is obliging others rather everyone is serious about their self interests. Strategies are made on basis of informations and situations. Some times the decision get wrong and it becomes very difficult to rectify. The rectification it self is very painful and quite time consuming . SS got wrong in negotiating with BJP while allocating the seats and then while joining the BJP government at centre and state.

I am closely watching this situation and feel that in business also we can use the same tactics while dealing with the clients and vendors. Negotiation is a very powerful quality and can be sharpened with experience. I found that one has to be ruthless in dealing with other side, full of information , positive attitude and good strategy. Whenever opportunity comes it should be given due respect and try to make it a success.

I am not concerned what SS or BJP wd do in future but one can learn a lot from this and use the same tools in business to grow further.

Many times we hit the Wall in business and social life. In social life, we loose many friends, relatives, kins and so on... And then we feel a vacuum. It is like hitting the wall, in a dark tunnel which we do not know how to come out. Similarly, in business also we experience such vaccum when we unknowingly enter into the dark tunnel and suddenly hit the wall. That moment every thing goes blank and every actions prove wrong or mis hits. In my view this happens with every one and in every field. Things never move as per our wish and we ride roller coaster without any idea about the future. 

Socially it happens when the relations are not in continuity, bonding is bit weak and views are different. In current situation, we all are running to make our dreams come true and by the time dreams are about to be true, you end up with social isolation  or agony. At this juncture, a person feels blank and gets disheartened. The situations can go worse or get better depending on the means used to resolve. 

In case of business or professional life, the challenges are too much and too frequent. The products, markets, competition and so on .....change the environment every day . Despite the best efforts no one can guarantee the continuous success and has to face the tough time,. There may be challenges for many sides forcing to rethink on the business strategies and plans. Sometimes it virtually breaks you to an extent that you feel blank with no light at the end of the tunnel . In fact this is very painful situation for any body. Past memories and hope from the future are only tools to find the rays of hope. In my view the belief in yourself and patience are the most effective tools to come out of this situation.

Whatever be the situation whether social or professional, noting is incurable . The blankness is the sign of something new and better opportunities which are just about to happen. Patience, belief in yourself, hope and learning from the past are the most effective tools to handle such moments.
