Do you Value Other?
Valuing the others
I think, this is one of the must topic we must discuss about in our contemporary society. Often times, we have noticed at our workplaces, complain among the friends circle that we often miss the habit of valuing and complementing each other. We would go out of our way to help others, but they would never turn around.
I was attending a interview for a teaching post at a state run university in South India. When my turn came to face the panel, i stepped in the room, greeted everyone. Minutes later, the head of the institution said, i can get out, there is a spelling mistake of my name on the corresponding community certificates. Is having a misspelt name endorses me even not to give attention as a human? Is it not the duty of the government staff to proofread before issuing certificates? I was shocked to hear i was not even acknowledged for what i am, leave alone my degrees, experience etc. After traveling a 24 hours journey, to attend this interview, if you get such a response like this from an higher official who is supposed to embody the learning and inspiring the education ... how would you feel? At that moment, i felt like i am in hell. I know, many of the fellow Indians, would share a similar stories in thousand! Please do not ask me, who was qualified, appointed for the post for the god's sake! I somehow do not understand where the society is heading! If you ask something or enquire, we know we would not get proper answers from the concerned officials. Of course, it was mistake on my part, that i did not verify the certificate, before collecting it. I learned my lesson on that day.
The issue with my certificate is my name was misspelt. I don't know what kind of people we have at our taluk or revenue offices in India; after verifying all the evidences, if they are not able to give a certificate in a neat manner, do they really deliver value to the customer. General public is at the receiving end because of these failing bureaucracy and inefficient government servants! God only knows when these government servants in India will deliver value! Is there anyway these people can be trained?
We often not even recognize others for what they are! We have to learn a much about this, valuing others, their relationship and being. This quality will ensure that all the individuals in India are respected, enriched and cherished. I believe this is such a good quality, we Indians should be participated, encouraged and inculcated. If each person, goes on to respect other, ultimately society would be more civilized in sorting out all the issues prevalent among us and lead to a transparent, accountable society and citizenry.
Do you value this hearing me!!!
