A Trip To Germany – As Shared by Lakshman Iyer

Coralhub is just expanding its arm globally. Five of its efficient employees have recently visited Germany for attending a 'Book Fair'.
Lakshman Iyer – the VP of the Coralhub Publishing shared his experience with us. The nostalgic episode follows in his own word- I would be glad to share. There is enough in store to recall the cherished memories in terms of our learning, experience, the geo - social and cross - cultural effects. However with all I miss the thirst for a good food appetite which was almost a gruesome situation in the day hours. Other way around the fascinating evening was embellished with a respite of luck who had a good and big heart to treat us graciously. The delicious food made all our evenings delighted quenching our thirst with a nice Indian cuisine in store to grab.
A good way to start our days to keep us in a good business mode to act and react. Ironically, the vegetarians need to be testing waters , before they could grab in the business hours.
We had wonderful evenings with fruitful business work and new people to interact with. Oh! Yes how could I forget the tiring shopping with lots of baggages to carry while we returned. The shopping at Kuffohoff, virtually a kind of dream place for shopaholics and we aren't too far from getting caught in the web of shopping.
Jagdish bhai, the hotel owner takes all the pride to serve us a nice Indian curry with slice of good spicy dhal and sabji. The menus which we desire is quite deserving to; the low calorie, and higher vitamin food would slide to make us drive towards a nice late evening walk across the Kalterer Str.. As we were located at a small little village called Heppenheim a good night view covered with sky covered with stars and moon lighting our way to rooms. Evergreen and Go green in true sense... as that what you can see there till your eyesight gets engulfed with the natural awesome landscapes. The place of greenery staggered with nice little cottage homes resting silently in the semi-dark light.
A cold evening kissing you - a nice chill breeze keeps chasing your ways to make your stroll add with much of enthusiasm to your body and soul. Eventually, we take a break to warm our palms and ensure we are re-charged and re-energized.
We seldom miss the glimpse of nature's every bit of shower of blessed spell of fresh energy , air and greens, which makes us ecstatic.
smoking is all around an holy grail congesting with man-made pollution and needless to say, gruesome to health as well and non-smokers become passive smokers looks like beyond the obvious.

More to follow.....let's schenganize more....

Leniency In Office Timing Calls For a Treat

Early To Bed and Early To Rise; Makes Every Man Reach Office On Time. Well this phrase might not be in everybody's' dictionary. Although everyone loves to reach on time, yet sometimes due to traffic or other personal work forms hurdles. Our official Office timing starts from 9 AM stretching the time length to nine and half hours, ending at the latest by 6.30 PM.

Most of us reach before time so as to leave the office early as it was notified by our respectable Sir Mr. Prashant that one who reaches before 8.45 am is permitted to leave by 6:16pm. Our life has turned out to be nothing less than a clock hanging on the wall. Every tick tock of it makes a movement within us.

But is might not be the same for everyone. In Coralhub.com Shopping Online Departments there are twenty employees excluding our Big Boss and the Second Big Boss.

As I said that not everybody makes their life in accordance with the clock; there are two such colleagues of ours who make the clocks live their life. Pooja – in our Publishing Department and Naresh our SEO are two lovable colleagues of mine who are never on time. This has marked them in two ways – one as 'Late Kate' and another 'Late Mark'. Well the former one did not make much difference to their original names but, yes, the second one did make a difference at the end of the month.

In our company it is a rule that three consecutive late marks will make a deduction of one day's salary. Naresh somehow manages to reach on time after three late marks, but our sweet little Pooja could not. She completed seven months in this office. However starting from the first month's salary to the sixth month she could not manage to get the full amount – in a very hilarious way her beautiful eyes were thirsty to see the full salary reflecting in her bank account.

Well, then comes Purvi, our E-Commerce head as a savior to her salary and persuaded our Big Boss to make a leniency in the timing giving the credit to rains. The 'Rains' itself would not know how we can take advantage of her sudden bursts with Leaves and Late Coming. With a good amount of reasoning and putting her words in the whirlpool of thoughts for Sir to think, she finally convinced him. Even Sir might also have thought of giving up instead of questioning a lady. As I believe, “Women should not be questioned by Men, as end of one questioned with an answer will lead Men to Quick Sand”. I know our Sir is very intelligent in this perspective.

Hence a mail was sent to all the respective offices of Coralhub.com that offices start from 8 with a stretchable timing of 10 am. After 10 am will be considered as late mark. Employees coming by 8 can leave by 5.30 pm and so on.

However, after six months of dedicated service to this office, our Pooja dear could manage to get the full amount. But please don't assume that she came early and all. No, she continued her way of coming after 9.30 am and leave after 7pm. So what at least their were no late marks. That is important... Right Pooja.

On account of such a big achievement Pooja throwed party - a sweet and simple one. I wish Sir knew it before we could have got the party long time back and Pooja would have got her full amount as well.

In this entire story – by story I don't mean a fabricated one; it is true and fully true. However in the entire story I forgot to mention about Naresh, He comes on time – just one - to - two minutes before 10 am. Had it been in his hands I think a flexibility till 11 or 11 pm would have been better for him. That is the way of life My dear SEO wants to live. I wish our Big Boss understood this simple issue of him and we can also have the opportunity to get a party from him. What Say guys?

With the hope that Pooja lives with the time, I hereby suggest her with the most exotic collections available in Coralhub.com. Rochees ladies watch-31 is a timeless piece which cannot be overlooked and will definitely want to flaunt it. The stylish curved pattern gives an unique look making your style more feminine. For Naresh we have the mind-blowing Rochees gents watch-07 to match his personality.

If you find that the site is offering products at a lower price as compared to other sites then the next wise move would be to give a call and inquire about it.
Have a look at whether the sites are also offering discount and other necessary requirements to make the online customer convinced with the site.
Try to avoid sites charging extra tax, as no sites can offer extra charges unless you are from the same place.

Increments Definitely Are A Party Time

Why do we work? Why do we slog? The only answer is 'Paapi Peth Ka Sawaal Hai'. Yes, thats what it is all about. Our daily needs and to satisfy that we need to earn 'MONEY'. Working in corporate offices or MNCs gives a lot of satisfaction at the end of month.

Well, then every company follows certain rules and regulations for this purpose. My company too has similar criteria to make their employees happy with a sudden surprise. Although, the surprises come after the much awaited requisition but it does come. Sometimes it comes with a small smile and sometimes with a laughter which gets converted to a party. Those who have understood the inner meaning of this are fine and those who did not can't be helped.

Many of my dear colleagues have completed their full time dedication and service with honesty to their office. To appreciate the work in their own way, the Company's main head just widened their purchasing power by increasing their monetary rewards. Yes, in a financial term “A Salary Increment is a form of periodic payment from an employer to an employee, which may be specified in an employment contract with an act of increasing”. In a colloquial way, “Salary is the satisfaction of mind and eyes when it is received at the end of the mind and the ultra satisfaction to the heart and hand when spent out. Increase in it gives ultra enthusiasm as it gives more energy to spend”.

Their increment means nothing but calls for a blasting treat, after all their hard-work means our contribution in giving them that lively environment in which they are working. So, Prena, Komal and Ashwin were made the scape-goat for the party. Although we did not have to make much efforts in convincing them for the treat, yet as good colleagues we need to remind them. The trios were very sporting indeed in giving out the treat at one of the finest restaurants ' Mantra'. This time we ordered for punjabi food and it was really awesome.

It is said that anything given by heart turns out to be good. These people really wanted us to share their enjoyment of increment. Hence, in the end when we had the food we blessed them that may our Boss gives them such a high increment that we get a treat at the Taj Hotel the next time.

I hope Sir reads it and understands what I actually meant to say. Well this small blog was not to share the news of increment, but messages of joy and happiness of each of the colleague of Coralhub.com. We love not only to share our tears but our joyous moments to get doubled with the presence of all our well wishers.

For such wonderful day they celebrated with us, we congratulate them with a bouquet and heart with wishes and prosperity in the coming future.

Where Stays Happiness?

This is a very obvious question which startles us and we are lost in dismay as where does this simple word HAPPINESS exist. Sometimes I feel whether it is really there or it has kept herself dormant. Once I asked my mom, “Where does happiness stay?” to which my mom very reluctantly answered, “happiness is not what the outer world gives, it stays within you and you have to search it out”. That moment of time, I could not follow her words. But now as I reminisce, I recollect and try to understand each words of her. In a very simple language my mom wanted to tell me that happiness is when you feel happy not when others try to make you happy.

She was so true, an emotion which lives within us and we try to search it outside. We tend to search outside what we can develop or get from within. We never tend to look for the inner beauty which determines the outer being that appeals the most. Same happens with the our emotions. We tend to love others with the hope of getting love from them, trying to make them happy with aspiration that we too will be happy, we tend to laugh with others as that makes others laugh too. Really, are we superficial or is the world too mechanical?



I have searched every in and out to get the appropriate answer to the question arising in my mind like the endless waves of sea. It is then that I came across the the book 'Man's Search for Meaning: by Frankl, Viktor E. Lasch, Ilse Kushner, Harold S.'. This is a psychological book where the author tries to answer to all the indefinite questions and give meaning to the unknown queries. I found this book quite informative in terms of answering to my inquisitive mind. This book on psychology did make my mind light by reliving me from the questions. I find this book a good guidance to answer life in the best way.

Hair – The Unsaid Feminine Beauty

To have long, silky, thick hair was always my dream. In school days papa never allowed me to keep long hair. According to the philosophy of my BIG DAD, “Keeping long hair is just a waste as the time one takes to comb hair – a single note of sixteen marks or ten sums can be completed. Hence to follow this principle of his I was bound to keep hair short – which meant a complete boy's cut. I use to envy my fellow class mates with long hair and neatly tied. As nothing could be done I was happy with what I had. Small boys' cut style would take less time, no maintenance. In one word no wastage of time.

However, the same look does not seem to be perfect for all ages with the year proceedings. From childhood to teenage and stepping to college. Where style, fashion and looking ten on ten becomes the first priority before studies. On too much persuasion I convinced my Dad for having long hair, at least shoulder length. Though not agreed but knew that his younger daughter has grown big and is out of reach. He gave up and I developed my assets that is my hair. With everyone's surprise my hair grew till my waist and that made me feel proud.

With the completion of graduation, the next stage that starts is work and then the most stupid one according to me “ Marriage”. Just 23 years and I heard my parents discussing about my marriage proposals. Without taking my consent they fixed the day for meeting up with the people. Being Bengali I know very well that the society of Bengalis prefer girls with long hair. Even after being highly educated they could not come out of the social taboos and conservative nature. Hence, I couldn't reject them but thought that if I cut off my hair I will give them a better option to say 'no' to my parents. Thus from waist length to blunt cut. I made my hair so short that I looked totally modern and not even the slightest match for their simple son.

But as the saying goes “Man proposes and God disposes”. All my efforts and thoughts went in vain when they, despite of the short hair, accepted me. How stupid of me to go for a hair cut – now I am burdened with the marriage proceedings.

Got back my long hair and promised to have no more stupid experiments. Little did I know that even I don't do, my six year old daughter is there to complete the task. Last Saturday, after the day's hectic schedule to do all the extra work which is generally not possible during the week's official days. I slept taking headache medicine. My lovely daughter was instructed not to disturb me while I was sleeping. But little did I realize that she can not only disturb me but shatter my life. I woke up with sudden creak squeak sound near my ear. To ensure what I woke up and found was – my little angel holding scissors in one hand and comb in the other, doing some sort of an experiment. But where, got down from the bed and – aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! , the floor is covered with MY hair.

Oh my God! My daughter has cut off of my hair in a zig zag manner. I cannot show my face to anyone. Went to the parlor and my hair was made so short that I just could forgive my daughter. Anyway though later I felt what is gone will come again, after all it is hair. So now waiting anxiously for my lovely hair to grow again so that I can play with it.

Now I am trying all means to have a healthy and strong hair growth. In this process Aloe Vera - Moisturizing Herbal Hair Masque from Coralhub.com is really helping me to retain the softness and luster in my hair. My hair although small, looks quiet healthy and black.
