Hello Vim
| Hi Vim, So nice, some one is asking about my life. Thank you so much. Life is fine as I wished and as i wanted it to be. It is nothing different from what I wished it to be. How about you Vim? I think we must know more about each other., as Librarians. We can share our experiences with regard to our practice of Librarianship. If you would like to know more about me and my writings in LIS, type RAJASHEKHAR DEVARAI will find some information. I have a professional blog... and in this blog about 50 librarians are writing.... if you wish you too can become a member. Let me know if you are interested. Do you maintain a blog as such? Feel free to communicate to me by may mail address as well : lotus5673@yahoo.co.iI I relish your communications. Best wishes and I wait for your response LbnRaj Chief Librarian, Asian School of business Management, India [url=http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com]India Librarian[/url] Netlog communication link : http://en.netlog.com/go/messages/private/threadID=01011096&inbox=1 Librarianship is a noble profession http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ 1816gbgv |
thought for the day
Grace and Working with "What is"
"One partner, blind to his own faults will notice, criticize and condemn the very same imperfections in the other. …. If you acknowledge your imperfections and the imperfections of this world, work hard and rise to the challenge to be aware of them and change and evolve accordingly, "then you are a vehicle for the expression of God's dynamic perfection" writes David Aaron in his spiritual work based on his understanding of the Kabbalah, The Secret Life of God. … Working with "What is" means to seek meaning within the absurd, peace within chaos, light within darkness, joy within suffering – without the need to deny the reality of absurdity, chaos, darkness and suffering." Marquerite Theophil ; weave@vsnl.net (Times of India – Speaking Tree, October 1, 2010).

SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL LIBRARIANS
| SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL LIBRARIANS |
| Habit 1: Proactivity, fanaticism, and downright aggression A popular though unacknowledged (here) website notes that "Vision without action is a dream; action without vision is a nightmare". Are there any other words that ring as true as this? Well, of course, but let's stay on task here. In brief, if you're not going to Do Something About It, just go back to reading the newspaper and drinking coffee. Continuous whining only irritates people. Sure, kicking and screaming aren't going to win you any friends either, but at least you'll get your own way. Eventually. Habit 2: From Librarianship to World Domination - yes, YOU can! Although the cynical may doubt the reality of achieving this goal, any tin-pot world dictator will tell you that it doesn't matter where you start, only where you finish. Of course, they always come to some sort of nasty end and are psychotic sociopaths with no conscience, but they never let these small handicaps interrupt their focus. History has never forgotten those who led military dictatorships, nor brought about senseless war. Habit 3: Prioritization and Delegation - keeping the trivial in some else's in-tray How much of your precious time is consumed with doing what ever the heck you are being paid to do? If you've noticed that you're rushed off your feet whilst the person next to you is cruising through their day, YOU are doing something wrong! If your co-workers claim to also be busy, had you considered the vast untapped human resources that walk into your library every day? Sure, they're not trained for library work, but many will be thrilled to be asked to fix the photocopier, show someone how to set up an email account, download music, scrape gum off chairs, and maybe even do the odd bit of cataloguing. If you don't ask, you'll never know. Habit 4: Believe in yourself "Boy, this is a pretty old one" I can hear you thinking. But hey! Unless you are in fact an imaginary character, why shouldn't you at least suspect that you are a real person. If you manage to convince yourself that you actually exist, then you're well on the way to getting others to agree with you. No longer a faceless servant to the masses, you can rise to a servant with a face! (If you're incredibly ugly, you can skip this one.) Habit 5: Exceptio probat regulam Where would any self-respecting list of anything be if it didn't include at least one Latin phrase plucked from a website that's hopefully been written by someone who knows what they are talking about? After all, that's the very essence of online content, isn't it? So, "the exception proves the rule". For you to become a highly successful librarian, you will have to first let go of the concept that hard work and dedication will help you achieve your ambitions. For proof, look at your colleagues, working away in intense concentration. As they will be doing tomorrow. And the next day. If you want to be the exception, you KNOW what you have to do now. Except you could also become unemployed - it's up to you to weigh the risks against the possible benefits. Habit 6: Synergy, empowerment, paradigms, viability and other jargon Talk the talk of management! It will give you a patina of authority, a voice that should be listened to. Much easier than learning a foreign language, your engagement in the mode of articulation of your corporate ecology will contribute to the implementation of your personal agenda. Besides which, not even the suits themselves understand what they're saying. Don't be intimidated! Habit 7: Imagination, ingenuity, innovation, inspiration, and inventiveness Yes, it's the five "I"s of success. It really should have been seven, as this is the seventh and thus final one of the 7 Habits of Highly Successful Librarians. But seeing how these sounded more suited than "Fabrication, falsehood, fancy, fantasy, fiction, figment, and forgery", it's probably better to go with the 5Is. Suit yourself though - if you haven't got access to a thesaurus, you're really not going to get very far in life or in your career. Let alone your plans for world domination! UNLESS YOU'RE A SERIAL KILLER OR SOMETHING. |

• “Well, perhaps a picture of a middle-aged woman, with her hair up, trying to look at the bottom shelf of books through her bifocals. That would mean standing on one shoulder, weaving her head about to get the titles in focus. Then, right beside that picture, could be the same middle-aged woman, with her hair down (perhaps looking like Julia Roberts will in a few years), helping a student (on a computer), while taking photos of the group for the yearbook. On the other hand, any picture that made librarians look like Julia Roberts or Clive Owen would be beneficial to the admissions offices of schools of librarianship”.

"For every one is linked with every one else through the
kinship of the soul - vasudhaiva kutumbakan." -
Acharya Nitya Satyananda (Speaking Tree - TIO Sept 14, 2010).
It is very true .... but we need to remind this this to ourselves
again and again. We either dont know this .... or we keep
forgetting... or we just dont want to know its importance.
And yes we get puzzled .... get isolated .... desperate ....
restless. We keep murmuring i am alone .... no one
cares me. Let us resolve to believe that we all human beings
.... and other beings are interconnected and interwoven in
separably. No one in this world is alone. It is only a
learnt behaviour , it is only a fobia that
we feel at times that we are alone.

"Inception and the Subconscious"
The write up by Jui Pagedar in Times of India (Speaking Tree - 06-09-2010) titled "Inception and the Subconscious" and is educative and seductive for all those who evince interest in what appears to be more illusionist and imaginary. Yes it is human tendency to believe only those things which one can see, feel and sense easily. But the fact remains ... that we have worlds connected to us in more intimate ways than we think. Yes these other worlds are as real or more real than the lives we have believed and seen. Hats off to Jui Pagedar and Scholars alike for contributing to Speaking Tree. Best wishes.

Wrestling with God ..... Janina Gomes
Wrestling with God
Source : Janina Gomes.-Speaking Tree, Times of India.-July 07, 2010
Often we find in life, we want one thing and just another happens. …. All the while , the shadow of God hovers and has been hovering over us in all situations both good and bad. …. If we allow the grace of God to flow unimpeded in us, we will find that goodness flows naturally from us, like the river.
LbnRaj responds!!!!! : “Yes … we find that many a times we aim at something and something else happens. After a lapse of time …. We find that happened was also close to our chest. What we never thought as interesting…useful to us becomes the thing we right now adore and like. Ya it is true … we long for certain things in life … it is also true we sooner or later like the things that are given to us…. the things that are with us abundantly. There is no need to learn to like the things that we have … it happens … it just happens. Let us resolve to notice the abundance of things around us for us … which came without asking for. Yes the things we have are abundant … we are indeed rich … every one is rich… but realization of this comes may be late … may be very late.”
