SHIQURDU 2

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd sounding name, but felt appropriate for the collection.
  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., hindi and english). Although in some cases the language has been simplified but attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.
  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep meaning messages.

सफ़र का मज़ा – सामान कम

ज़िंदगी का मज़ा – अरमान कम

12

हाथ की लकीरें

सबकी मुट्ठी में

लेकिन काबू में नहीं

13

मुसाफ़िर कल भी था,

मुसाफ़िर आज भी हूँ

कल अपनों की तलाश में था,

आज अपनी तलाश में हूँ।

14

भूल भुलैया

भूल सको तो भूल जाना,

इजाज़त है तुम्हें,

न भूल पाओ तो लौट आना,

एक और भूल कि इजाज़त है तुम्हें…

15

कशमकश

सपनों के लिये अपनो से दूर

या

अपनों के लिये सपनों से दूर

16

ज़िन्दगी की दौड़ में तजुर्बा कच्चा रह गया,

ना सीखा फरेब हमने, दिल बच्चा रह गया

17

दुनिया तो एक ही है,

फिर भी सबकी अलग अलग है.

18

ज़ाया ना करो अपने अल्फाज़

ख़ामोश रह कर देखो की तुम्हें समझता कौन है.

19

चल चला चल

समय चला,

कब चला

पता ही नहीं चला,

और चला गया

20

हर हाल में चलना सीखो

बदल जाओ वक्त के साथ,

या फिर वक्त को बदलना सीखो|

चलो मुस्कुराने की वजह ढूँढते हैं

जिन्दगी तुम हमें ढूँढो,

हम तुम्हे ढूँढते हैं

HEALTHY WORKING ENVIRONMENT & CULTURE

Any organization will do well if it has a healthy working environment. Responsibility of creating a good and productive environment rests with the senior leadership. Senior leadership not only has to insist and encourage but also lead by example to achieve this.

During four decades of working in the Air Force, few aspects related to good working environment appealed to me. I made these as my guiding principles. Some of these are as follows:-

  • Leadership: Everyone who has a subordinate working under him or her is a leader. All the leaders should follow what they advocate. Motto should be “DO AS I DO” rather than “DO AS I SAY”. Also there should be Fairness, Honesty and Transparency in all their dealings.
  • Sell or Tell Type of Leadership: Younger generations have ready access to information and are very aware. The leadership style has to change with times. Giving a task and explaining the rationale behind it generates better acceptability and involvement. Need is for more of SELL type approach rather than TELL type of leadership.
