then why do we say that people leave their managers not their companies? Join me in this fascinating Bastalk to better understand

Recently I was trolled over an article I wrote over a social media platform - this episode is an attempt to share insights which are often missed in words. Anyone who comments on a social media has been subject to a trolling incident somewhere or the other ,yet when you dive deep you find that trolls generally never take the time to understand someone else's point of view simply because either it does not correlate with their or they are simply ignorant. So this episode goes out to the trolls and their well- being!

Parental Advisory! Close your eyes: Adult Content.  

Now before you jump into conclusion, this is not  about porn.  Sorry to disappoint you! But it is something so important that it affects your life.

Its  about education....for adults, its about educating your parents. When parents guide a child – who’s ensuring they know what they are doing? 

There is no parental advisory for parenting ! There are no certificates for parenting – and so in the absence of such guidance most parents fall back on what they think is the right way to parent basis how they were brought up or taking a cue from how the neighbor or relative’s kids. The only trouble with that is, the kid grows up fulfilling the parents wish , often sacrificing their own.
