Propagation of humanity through tourism

How many of us feel that we should travel more. Man by nature is a traveler. Ever since the prehistoric time man has been a nomad, traveling the length and breadth of the planet, making beautiful discoveries. The potential of travel becoming an industry was seen quiet early. Tourism today is one of the most important businesses in the service industry. However more than that it is a way of living, its a way of life.
Today people are travelling freely across countries and propagating and promoting the most important thing....Humanity. Let me tell you this through a story. There was a girl named Stella . A British girl,she was on a trip to India, in the beautiful region in Himalayas. She met a few local Indian travelers there. They were on a local sightseeing tour of the city when they saw some garbage lying on the slopes of the hill to the beautiful shrine . So she quickly sprung into action and initiated the cleanup drive.The gang joined her in the same. Now tell me what was her concern in cleaning up that place. She had certainly no incentive.It was sheer humanity that was displayed.
Another instance that comes to my mind is when I traveled to God's own country Kerala. a mix of tradition, religion and culture, Kerala is a state where people of various religions coexist. So I met this person who actually took us around the town in a rickshaw, he belonged to particular religion but went to all religious places irrespective of them not being from his religion. He was very good to us and made us feel very comfortable. He was highly sensible and showed respect and care for everyone, even to the underprivileged. His act of kindness was displayed when he gave half of his meal to a beggar and also fed biscuits to the street dogs. Being an auto rickshaw driver he would definitely not be doing a great in terms of income, but his act of humanity was certainly commendable.
Travel has also enchanted me. I have learnt a lot. It has made me understand the true essence of humanity. It has made me realize that materialistic world is not something that one should aspire. I can indeed say that there are many tourist who actually propagate humanity through tourism. I wish to be one of them

The tough demands of the corporate world for the youth

Being young especially in a country like India is a challenge.Youth from tier 2 cities and rural areas, on getting a job in the metros are often directionless and confused of how their personal and social life would be, leave alone their professional life. Today's corporate world is highly demanding.There is no breathing space and one mistake can be very costly. At such instances , I believe the senior management is responsible to nurture the youth. Effective mentoring and motivation should be given in order to get the best out of the young managers. On the other hand the youth also should be ready to align themselves to the culture and work sincerely. There have been many instances when people just waste their time during working hours and then show off that they are working late.Hence they sometimes find themselves under tremendous pressure when a lot of work comes in. The management should also give a serious consideration to various factors that can create a stressful w

The reverse Pyramid

Education is of high importance to the development of any nation.The nations education system determines its knowledge and the skill level. In India education is given high priority and value.Unfortunately the system development is lacking both at macro and micro level. Emphasis is given to a lot of bookish knowledge rather than practical application based knowledge. This is generally the gap which is exposed when the person moves from education field to the job field. The curriculum of the secondary and junior college makes it compulsory for students to learn everything.This way most of them become Jack of all trades but master of none.Students are clueless of what field they should opt and get totally confused. They end up choosing the wrong field many a times,sometimes due to trend following or due to parental or peer pressure.Instead, if the aptitude of the child is identified at secondary school level and the skills are honed, there is a higher chance that the person would

Johnny is one of those confused souls who is going with the wind.Taking suggestions from all, with an increasingly mounting parental pressure he is trying to fight his way through the eve increasing scope of career options that life throws in front of him each passing day. There is a debate whether the Indian society has changed over the years, where it is assumed that earlier
