International Yoga Day! 21st June 18

#HumFITtohBIFIT #HumFitTohIndiaFIT This is #Yoga special week & third week of FIT BI Movement. We organized Yoga activities throughout the week for our employees. We conducted complimentary #SuryaNamaskar sessions for employees for 3 days and special half-hour yoga session in multiple slots with full flexibility on occasion of #InternationalYogaDay.  Surya Namaskar sessions were internally led by Madhu Sharma. We also conducted a competition on Surya Namaskar yesterday. I am very happy to share that I won Suryanamaskar competition along with 4 other at Head Office on eve of International Yoga Day.

Fit India!

#HumFittohBIFit Its an internal campaign launched in June'18 at #BoehringerIngelheimIndia with focus on #health & #wellness of employees. It is a great initiative in many ways. This is inline with #FitIndiaCampaign Launched by Honorable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi with #HumFITtohBIFIT. We are doing series of activities for next 6 months. We are creating many types of Challenges for employees to takeup and improve their #fitness & wellness. Piya Dhar is leading this for us along with few volunteers. We have plan to conduct #Yoga, #Meditation, #DietSession, #Zumba and a lot of activity based sessions. This is perfectly coupled with our #EmployeeAssistanceProgram. We are also planning to have a space for #HealthClub where people can take healthy breaks for 5-10 mins with stretching or a quick floor exercise.With this we are trying to encourage break for healthy reasons! It will provide a better option for break other than tea, coffee or smoke. This is not a gym or a lounge. This is health club space with very specific purpose. I will keep sharing our experience as we continue to do more!

I have won two of five such challenges as of now. The picture is with winners of #ZumbaChallenge, 13th June.

Hit Refresh Review

#HitRefresh, an autobiography by Satya Nadella. It's about transformations he brought after becoming #CEO at #Microsoft. I had presumed that the book will be about Technology Transformations. However, to my surprise, the book is more about #CulturalTransformation, #SustainingPerformance and #Thriving in #AmbiguousEnvironment. As an HR Professional, I am thrilled by the kind of attention Mr. Nadella has given to #Culture and reimagined vision for 21st century Microsoft. I am in complete awe with the kind of discussions described in the book. Its a good read for the people struggling to answer:"Culture Change is whose responsibility?" How to compete and collaborate in the 21st century beautifully unfolds as you continue to read more. Microsoft has converted so many competitors(e.g. #Apple, #RedHat, #Samsung, #Google, #Yahoo) into partners by reinforcing #Values and keeping the focus on expanding the customer base for everyone. It has done wonders for them and their partners. Artifical Intelligence, Mixed Reality, and Big Data have been discussed in detail towards the last 3 chapters of the book.
Last but not the least , it was good to read story of humble background and formative years of Mr. Nadella. Book leaves one with inspiration to do more and being a continuous learner. #LeadershipTrails

International Yoga Day

4th International #YogaDay is coming on #21stJune2019. While reading through the sacred text of #Holy #Geeta I came across a very profound definition of #Yoga. It defines Yoga as "The act of connecting the lower with the higher, through a technique consisting of one's own #selfevolution. Any method by which the lower in us is educated and trained to live a Higher way of life wherein we gain a more effective control upon both our life without and life within." Yoga is gaining more popularity with time and it is reaching to every corner of the world. It is important to understand it at all three levels i.e. #Body, #Mind and #Intellect. Prima facie Yoga is a collection/set of #exercises. However, at an intellectual level, it is the #cleansingprocess to have the better understanding of life with #mindfulness. To set ourselves free from "Desires" and to become a better version of Ourselves. Yoga has the power to lead one to the path of #RighteousAction.
