Tricolor Thoughts


As a child Tricolor always fascinated me and I wondered what is so special about the colors its constituted of. Till I came to know the real meaning that Green is a symbol of hope, joy, fertility and love, whereas the white stands for peace and honesty. The blue is for vigilance, truth and loyalty, perseverance and justice with saffron as a symbol of Indian courage. As I read about our country’s historical background fascination for our bright & colorful and meaningful flag grew. Tricolor gives me a sense independence and feeling of existence in the vast globe. I feel blessed to breathe free air and choose to follow my heart and thank all those who have sacrificed their valuable lives just to make sure that we are safe.

Feeling so strong in itself that wish my words could capture the apt tone. However my personal view regarding freedom is more to do with my thoughts and actions and considering the same course here I proudly share what freedom means to people at plugHR. Hope you get to see flavors of Tricolors in each of them…

Coming straight from CEO’s Desk who runs ‘Awesome Ventures’

Freedom to me is about chasing dreams, no matter how crazy, no matter how far. To be able to push the limits of wackiness and experience the thrill of creation. Freedom is also choosing to live each day in a manner that fits in for me things that matter, my run, my Tennis, my kids, my reads, my work, food, ok more food, parties and guitar. Freedom to disagree, make mistakes, sleep through, skip bath, stop being vegetarian are some I really really love.
Wish all the freedom you want

Freedom is option of having a choice in everything I do. Respect for my accountability and ownership .Having a voice through all media which also gives a freedom of opinion.
I am glad to be a free being and love it that way

Here comes one from a highly agile and sharp HR Head

Butterfly from the cocoon, flower from a bud, seeds from a fruit....the former cannot even be talk about without mentioning the later who has just now allowed them be free...with hopes of a better and brighter tomorrow.

The sense of freedom can only be expressed by the heart to the mind of the one who just witnessed freedom. Filled with outrageous courage, the 'free' is ready to take on to the world. Spreading the wings of new colour, fragrance and promises for new fruit, the 'free' is free to explore the new dimensions of the ever changing world. What is written for them on the horizon is 'I can, I will and I shall" rather than "What, Why and How" which they have been reading on the walls of the closed protection. They are determined for success rather than the doubtfulness of the world from where they just came out. 

Freedom at work invites that the same sense of 'being new'. A workforce filled with energy brings in new ideas and courage, new ways and means of success. They strive all to 'Think' and break the wall of monogamy to be what is has been. The glass is neither half-filled of half-empty for them, all they see is the opportunity of fill it further, an opportunity for success.

This one from the lady whose passion for the subject shows in her writing too..

We all say and truly feel proud of our nation and the spirit of Independence day... but I doubt if any of us can honestly feel the essence of this day because we’d never really had to fight for our freedom. We appreciate the sacrifice people made of their lives and continue to do so to keep us free... but how best can we emulate the spirit of this day. ..few things, I felt were apt and worth practising...
 So here’s an opportunity to epitomize what Independence day truly means to us... Let us decide that – starting today, we will think differently, we will break free from the monotonous and negative thought processes and innovate and discover new dimensions to all aspects of life.. Be positive. Let us decide that – we take up new challenges, not getting bogged down with them and not allow the difficult situations to overpower us but instead let’s face them with a new zest and learn some wonderful lessons in life to treasure. Let us also decide that – We will now on only compete with ourselves and keep bettering at everything we did earlier. Not get into any competition that results into hatred, jealousy and creates greed that by large will only disturb the peace and harmony. Healthy competition is welcome! This in my way ... would probably be celebration of our Independence Day in truest sense...

With this note I wish all of you HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY and may the spirit to remain free helps us to sustain our freedom. Let’s from today onwards shed all our inhibitions and together create a workplace where our independent thinking can take us to places.
