Professional Ethics: Behaviour in Workplace

 Professional Ethics: Behaviour in the Workplace

In every workplace, professional ethics form the foundation of a healthy culture. One of the most damaging behaviors that erodes this culture is shouting at colleagues.

Issues and disagreements should always be resolved through meaningful conversations, not raised voices. Shouting is often used as a way to assert authority or seniority, but instead of solving problems, it creates a toxic work environment that disrupts smooth functioning and mutual respect.

When people shout, they may believe they can silence others or deflect attention from the real issue. However, this behavior only reflects a lack of self-control. Often, the victim of such abuse is gaslighted or blamed, while the original problem remains unresolved.

Key Points to Remember:

• Self-management: Anger issues must be addressed; every individual has the responsibility to conduct themselves in a professional, respectful manner.

• Victim’s response: Those at the receiving end should calmly but firmly state that they will not accept abusive behavior.

• Escalation: If shouting becomes habitual or frequent, it must be reported to the Grievance Cell or relevant authority.

• Positive culture: Respectful communication is not optional — it is the key to a workplace that fosters trust, collaboration, and growth.

Shouting silences people, but respectful dialogue solves problems.

 My Eternal Love

I took my pen 

After a resting period

Only soul connections

Can move my pen

But then the thought of you

Made me wield my pen

The twinkle in your eyes

Made me go to my pen

The tone of you skin

Gave ink to my pen

The colourful peacock feathers 

That adorned your crown

 Added colours to the ink

As I wrote the hues changed

With the emotions 

I carried

Blues, blacks, green and purple

The flickering love within

Started glowing with warmth

With the mellifluous music

From your flute

I never get possessive 

Even when you are amongst

Thousands of women

Cos’ I know you are mine 

Unaltered you shower love

Makes me smile

On a stormy day

You make life tastier

With yummy butter and milk

In the lovely Vrindavan

My heart swings with you 

Merrier my life becomes 

With the thought of you

My Krishna

You can make me 

A best version of myself 

With your eternal love!

What we think we become!

Our thoughts manifests not at once but somewhere down the lane!

People think childhood is the sweetest phase of life but unfortunately not everyone has a sweet childhood!

The society saw me as a doctor’s daughter and I was treated like a celebrity wherever I went as we lived in a rural area!

But my mom worked tirelessly day and night, my dad was sick and was bedridden most of the time! It was disheartening to see my dad suffering!

As a single daughter with no one to share my fears and doubts, I felt at one stage of life I should build a proper family! A family of my own!

I put all my dreams and aspirations at back seat and worked towards making a family, nothing mattered all I wanted was a family!

After many years I realised there were many things I wanted to pursue in life which I never considered at all…but I have built a beautiful family!

Manifestations are real, our thoughts have power to attract what we want, feed your thoughts and in heart of heart have your desire strongly rooted!

One fine day your thoughts manifest!

Sharing Spaces!

 “ Cooking is an art “

“ Cooking is a therapy”

Yes I’m mulling over these statements, how many of them who cook on daily basis will agree to these lines.

Cooking occasionally for guests or trying out innovative dishes could be real fun.

Day in and day out if you slog in the kitchen, Is it an enjoyable chore?

The morning steaming cup of coffee followed by idli, vada, pongal or whatever then once again lunch with sambar, kootu, porial. Evening cup of tea or coffee once again with snacks and to end the day with rotis and subjis.

Typing this elaborate spread for a day is tiring… how about cooking them?Have you ever given a thought how tedious and time consuming is Indian cooking!

The woman who misses an alarm controls nature’s calls to pack food for the family.

And the woman will be criticised for missing the alarm and not seen as a human.The most unthankful job ever.

Rain or shine, good day or bad day,sick or healthy,stressed or happy nothing matters, cooking goes on and on,thanks to swiggy and zomato that shower care when women in the household are sick.

We could say food is medicine so we are healthy compared to western people and all such stuff.

As we humans evolve in a digital age where women want to excel in their professional front , will these domestic drudgery be shared so that it becomes a labour of love.

In the name of love, sacrifice and motherhood entire life of women is spent in kitchen.

Break the mould and normalise sharing the space with everyone at home.

Seniority and Growth: Reflections on Aging with Grace

 Age, by itself, does not command respect. Respect is earned through deeds, character, and the way one chooses to shape oneself over time. Simply growing older is no guarantee of reverence—an old drunkard spewing venom and hurling abuses, for instance, becomes a tragic caricature rather than a figure of esteem.

Similarly, longevity in a workplace isn’t inherently an achievement. Spending years in the same role without growth can foster complacency, leading to a toxic mindset. Such individuals often overestimate their worth, belittle others, and cling to a false sense of superiority. Yet, the illusion shatters the moment they step outside their comfortable cocoon into an unfamiliar setting, where their true standing becomes evident.

Experience, ideally, should be the foundation of humility and wisdom. It should shape individuals into role models, not people who sprout metaphorical horns of arrogance. True growth lies in evolving gracefully—becoming a source of inspiration, not intimidation.

Aging is inevitable, but how we age is a choice. Like fine wine, we should strive to become richer, mellower, and more refined with time. Let our years add flavour to our personality, not bitterness. After all, the hallmark of true seniority lies in grace, not age.
