Can we be Human Engineers

CAN WE BE HUMAN ENGINEERS

Hey you

There are people out there working 9-5

Working like a machine

So very mechanical

No fun, no life, so boring

What are we waiting for

Its about time,

we brought some LIFE,         to work

Bring the HUMAN,          back to work

Can we be more HUMAN than ENGINEERS  

Can we be  HUMANENGINEERS  

For

All those, out at work

Life is not all, about money

Its about, living with people

Its about, caring for each other

What are we waiting for

Its about time,

we brought some LIFE,         to work

Bring the HUMAN,          back to work

Can we be more HUMAN than ENGINEERS  

Can we be  HUMANENGINEERS  

For

Money is only, a means to an end

And not an end, by itself

We need, to control money &

Not let, money control us

What are we waiting for

Its about time,

we brought some LIFE,         to work

Bring the HUMAN,          back to work

Can we be more HUMAN than ENGINEERS  

Can we be  HUMANENGINEERS  

Work

Is only a means to an end

And not an end, by itself

We need, to realise that

There is more to life than WORK

What are we waiting for

Its about time,

we brought some LIFE,         to work

Bring the HUMAN,          back to work

Can we be more HUMAN than ENGINEERS  

Can we be  HUMANENGINEERS  

Can we beeeeeeeeeee……..Humannnnnnnnnnn     Engineerssssssssssss

An Ode to Pankaja Ram Bhat

Mrs. Pankaja Ram Bhat is a Retired Assistant Post Master and wife of Mr. Ram Bhat from Mudipu. She is born into a very respectable & a large family in Mudipu. 

Early in her life at an young age, she lost her hearing faculty after a bout of typhoid. It resulted in her not being able to hear and also difficulty in speaking. She is able to follow people talking through the lip movement. She cant hear what she speaks.

A deafening silence surrounded her life and for most people would have shattered their dreams and jeopardised their lives to a great extent.

But not for Mrs. Pankaja. She went on to complete here Masters Degree in History and work in the Indian Postal Service for 27 years and even worked as a Cashier handling difficult customers and managing cash.

After her daughters (Shwetha) marriage to my son (Anish Ranjan) in 2015, she took an early retirement and began her second innings. She started exploring her hidden talents – gardening, cooking, stitching designer blouses, clothes, craft work, origami and literature.

She started writing Poems and short stories in her native language - Kannada and used to publish them like a production assembly. Every other day she would publish Poems on her Face Book post.

She has written on various topics like relationship, marriage, devotional, social norms, society, education, selfie, live-in relationship, children, nature (Prakrithi), etc. Through her Poems she has shared her life experiences, her views, pains, frustrations, anguish, joy, gratitude and her emotions. It has created a platform for her to express, showcase her creativity and be able to reach out and influence a larger community.

She has helped us to focus our attention on the almost hidden, and the too often unnoticed incarnations of life and helped us appreciate the larger canvas of life. With her creative verses, she would draw her reader in and then do with her words what no magnet could do. With her Poems, she could thread her camel-like thoughts through the eye of a needle.

Her Poems have been published in various magazines, newspapers and local media. She has been invited to speak and also recite her Poems in Literature Festivals, programmes and honoured by many Literary Associations, media houses etc.

Till date she has written/published/posted over 200 poems and has been posted on her blog http://baalasanje.blogspot.com/.

She received much encouragement from her family, friends and well wishers including renowned literary greats. 

She shortlisted 100 of her best Poems and has published a book SAVITRI and released it on 7th July 2019. At a grand function organised at her house Shri Ganesha Kripa at Mudipu.

After the release of the Book, a galaxy of Poets presented their Poems and was well received and appreciated by all guests & luminaries that had gathered. 

I had the honour of being present on the occasion and was happy and proud to see the release of the Book SAVITRI by Pankaja Ram Bhat. We were very proud to hear so many literary greats speaking so high and heaping praise on her Poems and on Mrs. Pankaja. It surely is a proud achievement for her and the entire family.

This event was widely covered in the local media, press and in the local News. Abbakka TVcovered the entire event and has published the video of the event on their YouTube Channel 

Mrs. Pankaja Ram Bhat is an inspiration for many of us. Despite her limitations and serious disabilities she has managed to put her creative talent to great use.  She has showed to us that nothing is impossible in life and that with determination, courage and the right attitude we can get over any challenge and surmount even the greatest difficulties.

I guess this is the beginning and the poet has opened her entire treasure-trove of her vast creations for all of us to enjoy, pick and choose from for her creations.

She may not be able to hear but she has ensured through her Poems and her Book that she is HEARD. 

And in this journey her family and especially her husband Ram Bhat have been of tremendous encouragement, support and help.

She is challenging me and at the same time inspiring me to write a Book that I have been contemplating for long…… only time will tell….

An Ode to Pankaja

ALVIDHA to one of the finest batch of students.......

To the Students of

XIME, Bangalore, MBA-HR, Batch 23

Dear Students,

I am lucky to have such a fun loving team that made happy surrounding during the course of Teaching. I miss you Students because I know you all are the best ones I have ever met  and am very proud to say that is was one of the best batch of Students that I have taught in the last four years.

Time has gone by so fast… They say time flies when you are having fun. It was true with my experience with you .  This has been an incredible association and journey. We have grown and learned so much …

Bringing the world into our classroom has been really powerful and absolutely inspiring, not just for you, but also for me.

Watching each of you put your heart into your studies, projects and everyday work has been very encouraging and motivating for me as Teacher and has helped me realize how meaningful learning can be when connected with passionate Students. I am definitely not the same Teacher that stepped into our classroom in our first session.  I have changed and grown too. What I liked the most was that we walked through this together.

Each of you has given their best, each of you has worked really hard throughout this year. I can’t find the words to describe how proud I am of you.

I’m so thankful for all your smiles, thank you  for opening your hearts and sharing your warm feedback & kind wishes. I will treasure them for ever.

Our sweet memories will forever remain in our hearts. Days spent with you all have been very memorable. Thank you for your honesty, support, and flexibility. Thank you for being yourselves. Thank you for helping me become a better Teacher. Thank you for making me feel that my job is not a job, but a passion. Thanks to you, I love being a teacher more and more every day. Each of you has made a difference for me. I will never forget you.

There were so many days I came to school stressed about something personal, but spending time with you made me forget about it all. 

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

As you leave the college, this is a turning point of your career and you are going to enter into your Careers in the Corporate World. There is a new world waiting for you with new success and goals. Hope, you can scale your new heights without much trouble . Expect that some challenges await you, which of course, I strongly believe going by your antecedents and the manner you have conducted yourselves over the year and the skills and knowledge you have acquired, you will surely overcome them.  With focus, discipline and sustained effort no matter the challenges, you will have what you need in order to becoming great HR Professionals & Leaders.

I hope that you recognize your greatness, that you have deep self love and confidence in yourself, that you know the only person you should compete with is you.
See yourselves as good ambassadors of this college and always act with passion & integrity, live by the discipline and ethics you are learnt here and always listen to your heart before making any decision.

Be kind and good to people you meet on your way up. Think big thoughts and be optimistic in whatever you are doing. Always do right things, thing positive, stand for justice. The words by you should bring happiness to others and actions should bring hopes. 

Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. Believe that, you can do what you want to do in your life.
Make new friends, but do not forget the old ones who always love you.

Our journey with you may stop here, but for you, it is the beginning of your life. Most of you are already placed in top-notch companies so do well there and share your experience with me and stay in touch. Be dedicated to your work.  

Whenever you need help, guidance or support, just feel free to reach out to me and I will be more than happy to extend my support to you.

Wish you a great journey for the future and a successful joyfull & fulfilling life.
