THE BIG BANG THEORY

This must be one of the most hilarious sitcoms I’ve ever seen!  After an hectic day, my wife and I watch episodes from Big Bang and your laugh comes from deep within you … but you ‘gotta’ have that sense of humour 😊 !

Each of these genius NERDS have their own idiosyncrasies, moods, humour, gall and idiocy... and, oh yes, let’s not forget their FASHION sense…

… but they are the fastest of friends…yet would kill each other [figuratively] when given a chance!
… they enjoy each other’s company.
… they enjoy their own mind games and their idiosyncratic humor.
… they live in their own little world.
… and, yeah, they enjoy their comic bookstore, collector-edition comics and Comicons!

So, what does this gut-spilling, hilarious comedy tell me - One can be a nerd and yet have friends from within that social group.  They don’t hide that they dislike confrontation.

They are not trying to fit in.  As far as they are concerned, their world revolves around their room and mutual activities.

This reminds me of my July 2019 post http://dinshawavari.com/2019/07/12/keep-up-with-the-joneses/. 

In our world, we try to fit in; we want everyone to like us; we have to live upto the expectations of our society.

… BUT DO WE REALLY HAVE TO?

Like the Big Bang characters, can we not be happy with ourselves and who we are, instead of what we should be or look like in the eyes of society?

Leonard, Sheldon, Rajesh & Howard were marginalized growing up but found their own social & work group and don’t feel compelled to follow society’s lifestyle or rules.

Isn’t that a more peaceful & contented way to live … not “keeping up with the Joneses”.

OUR PEOPLE

January 9, 2019 Our Core Values revolve around our people, our team members - Associates, Supervisors, Officers, Assistant Department heads, Department Heads and the General Manager - who work with us.  (More on our Core Values in another post however). A while back, a team member asked why I was requesting our hotels to post our monthly “Employee of the Month” [competition] on social media (incidentally we need to change this title to “Team Member of the Month”).   That surprised me as I realized our own teams don’t know the purpose of this competition … …and, at it’s very bare level, it’s to publicly  RECOGNIZE the services and contribution of our people in our hotels on a monthly basis. The “prize” is not going to make them millionaires!   It’s however the quest for recognition of an outstanding job done in the previous month – either towards guest satisfaction; or honesty; or towards her/his peer; and so on.   Two people are chosen monthly- o...

Common Sense has “left the building”!

OR, the worst, urinating on the side of the road? Do we really need to be taught common courtesies - isn’t it ingrained in humans since we are born?   NO .   Thinking back, I...

PRINT … SOCIAL … what next … HOLOGRAPHIC???

 October 6, 2020   Hotels [rooms] marketing used to be so much easier- you put an advert in the newspaper or magazine to promote your product or facility or promotion.   That’s IT!   TV was around but one of the most expensive mediums to market a hotel- and only the large Hiltons, Hyatts and Sheratons of the world used it.   Then came the ‘90s email usage on a commercial basis, so we started emailing clients and guests.   Close on its heels came the WWW … followed by our “friend”, SOCIAL MEDIA in the last decade!   Very very confusing … not only to customers – with the JUNK being posted daily - but also to hotels.   Where & who do we market to?   When will our customer be “online”? Who will see our advert in the clutter & junk of the information available on the Web & Social?   Newspapers officially have a shelf life of 24 hours … in practice, it’s a few hours – the moment the paper is put back...
