Mission Korighad

Friends,

Yesterday, I got a chance to visit Korigadh, the fort located at just 30 mins drive from Lonavala.

Reaching at top was a good time. Moving through ruff terrains, crossing streams and puddles and moving inches close to bushes... I call it a luxury of life, if you are living in a city like Mumbai.

Though I enjoy drizzles when I am out to enjoy, this time my fingers were crossed through out our journey as I was eager to capture every moment in camera.

Weather was excellent through out the day. Partly cloudy - partly sunny, just right for a trek like this. I could see some glances of beautiful western ghats while we were on the way to top. But after reaching on top I realized what a strategic location was chosen by Shivaji the Great Maratha! Words are not enough the describe the beauty of this jewel.

We spent 2 hours on top of this fort, moving around in all directions and enjoying those wide wide wide horizons made up of beautiful mountain ranges. This has been added to my memory's special corner "Memorable Experience of my Life".

I have managed to capture around 250+ pictures of this trek. Will upload them soon. Keep watching this space and of course http:\\photographybyshrenik.blogspot.com

[Self Help:] The One Minute Manager

Here comes one more review on one minute series.

The One Minute Manager, is a very precise and crisp presentation about managing professional relationships.

The credo of the one-minute manager rests on the implementation of three ideas, namely: the need to establish clear-cut goals, the need to praise good performance, and the need to reprimand people when their performance fails to contribute to the attainment of commonly agreed goals. This three basic ideas are known as the three secrets of the one minute manager, namely: one-minute goals, one-minute praisings and one-minute reprimands.

A must read for all professionals.

The One Minute Apology

Friends,

Recently read a book "The One Minute Apology" by Ken Blanchard, Margret McBride.

Before you say you're sorry, you have to admit that you are wrong; Not every one can do this easily. We often use the word sorry in our relations and with the people who touches our lives, but how often we think it through before saying sorry.

This delightful story highlights the wisdom and power that is contained in an honest admission of being wrong. "Learning to apologize has to be an irrefutable law". This book is not a manipulative technique for getting what you want. It is a testimony to what the power of repentance and its related power of forgiveness can do to improve or repair relationships, your business and even your home.

Its about being honest with your self. Being in any situation, you have to be honest and ask your self a simple truth; if there is something going wrong? if there is something to be unhappy about? if there is something that needs to be improved?

Once you find out the truth you are not dealing with; surrender your self. Admit that there is soemthing wrong and you need to make up for it. Apologize for your act and share how you feel about it.

After recognizing what is inconsistent with what you want to be, demonstrate your commitment to not to repeat the act by changing your behavior. Take responsibility of the situation and thoughtfully do the needful!

That's it... ! Apologizing is never as easy before reading this book.

I'll say worth a read!
