@ my thoughts in blue

Ravan was in an imaginary won mode with the planning for the future life status of Sita. What an asura who not only thought great of him but also about his wife w/o knowing anything about others!!! Its a self-contradictory statement by Ravan. He proclaimed himself as a great warrior and great shiva bhakth and his wife the great chaste. Has he gave an opportunity by creating an unbearable situation to test Mandodari? I agree she is one among panch kanya but certainly not equal to Sita, who didn't face the hardships like Sita😊. Leaving this apart, Ravan's egoistic approach towards Shiv dhanush indicated the dharm path that self-appraisal leads to self-destruction.

😆 - @bold loved it...

very well put... while we were discussing afew posts before on panchkanyas i was surprised to read that there are many articles claiming mandodari was troubled by angada to make ravana forfeit a yagna he was doing... don't know the authenticity of it... .but yes for me too sita and mandodari couldn't be equated together their circumstances are very dfferent

In our working circle, we are asked to submit self-appraisal form every year which is merely to analyze our improvement in the standard. But if the form is filled with too much of praising themselves, it becomes the place for fun. Yes, nothing wrong in saying what we did so far, but the way in which we render the words shows who we are. Self-Appraisal can be about what we did and not what we will do.😉


lol... 😆 ...

A sharp answer from King Janak 👏was quite enough for him to enter the compulsory zone. He talked more than what was actually needed on the place.

On the other hand, even though Ram has done enough good at that age, he was seen only on the self-assessment mode when Sita questioned him.

There is no need to utter words like, we know this and that to showcase ourselves, just lets do our work with perfection and the world will automatically know us.

The very good example is Thiruvalluvar, (idk how many in the forum knows him). In his thirukural, nowhere he mentioned about his god, caste, educational qualification and importantly his language. But right now, the world knows him and his beautiful work.


Very well put... my dissatisfaction with selfappraisal is the reward system attached with it... it's asking to appraise how much worth you are... and in many case sadly it demeans one's selfesteem too and somewhere loose the interest of trying too...

Yes its said the rewarding system is to encourage but i wonder does it really do good,especially in the educational system that too in some kindergarden level where you were given stars if you do perfect else nothing... shouldn't learning be for the joy of learning itself? especially when a child first explores the world...why do we need a rewarding system or a grading system ?

In reality does it really encourage or do more harm? we applaud people who excel yes.. but what about someone who is trying yet couldn't reach there ...would they not loose interest ...

What do you say a child who asks why didn't i get a star .. i do try didn't i? a little child ..

sorry for trangressing ,but since these questions are uppermost in my mind these days and so many good thinkers are here i'm putting this so that somwhere i could get someanswers?


Yesterday, I noted these following three points:

1. The moment Ravan entered the sabha and started long lecture of self appraisal, I was eagerly waiting for his ego to crash.

Here I went to self evaluation mode, yes I am so happy with the downfall of superiority complex person.😆

😆

2. If one talks too much about himself, people will be irritated and lose their interest.

Giving non-stop lectures is easy but its difficult to be in the receiving end.😡

ROFL ...

3. Sita said being independent still being together. Yes, she was in sabha but none of Ravan's actions/words affected her.

IDK, whether a normal human being can be still in that state.😕

you have put the word normal which put me in selfevaluate mode ,so i don't know its normal but we could or rather i do when something bores you so much or you are not interested in it but you have to as its considered polite 😉.. may be sita is so bored uh "i got to go through all this till ram comes"😆😉

I stop with this as too much of anything is good for nothing


Thanks for an entertaining post... it's a pleasure to read and please do write more often 😊

@Ramya there is a way to write self appraisal without crossing the limit. It is an art in itself. I know many hardworking colleagues of mine who lament they are not getting recognized. We need to understand smart work has to be there along with hard work. By smart work I don't mean hoodwinking, by smart work I mean understand how to fix priorities and where to put effort. Since anyways you have bought this topic up hope you don't mind me giving some guidelines for people to do self appraisal based on my experience.
First things.An annual appraisal is part and parcel of any organization. Any professional will need to do it. There is no shying away from the fact is it right for me to talk about the work I have done. Yes it is, if you do it appropriately.
One of the key things of any appraisal is proof. Mark the term proof. Having proof of your work is very important. So from the beginning of appraisal period for the work you are doing ensure adequate proofs are maintained. Now how to create proofs
- Emails. All important activity, tasks has to be communicated via email. Never do this via phone. You can discuss on phone. But an email has to be sent as an affirmation of the discussion. The content of the email should have the discussion points, Action items and the owners of the actions. In the " To" list you should keep action owners. In the CC list include everyone who needs to know about this work. On most occasions your immediate manager or if needed their superior. CC list has to be carefully chosen. If too much it will be become bragging. If too less your work will not get noticed. CC list decides who all will know about your work.
- Appreciation mails- If you receive appreciation mails for your work which you might have done for another unit, CSR, or for other team, make sure you forward the same to your immediate manager and save the copy of the same in a shared folder in your drive.
- Task completion also needs to communicated via email and if you are the activity owner ensure you give appropriate mention of all the contributors to the activity in your mail and if you are a contributor make sure you keep a copy of such mails in your shared folder.
- Data. We need to know data becomes one of the most important proofs these days. And in many big organizations this data is taken from certain systems set up for particular purpose. Make sure the data that needs to be entered in the systems are updated correctly and appropriately so that the reports reflects your work positively. If there is any issue with the data make sure you try to give appropriate remarks and get it validated by your superior so that it does not create an issue in the last minute. Hiding an issue sometimes does not get you anywhere. It is better to understand the issue, give reasons on why it happened and then move on. Many times a properly worded remarks at the right time is a positive addition to the appraisal. Don't run away or bury the issues under the carpet. They might boomerang in this connected world.
So if you make these activities part and parcel of your daily chores at the time of appraisal you just need to tag your goal with appropriate proof. Proof will speak you don't have to write anything else. For anyone who is working hard, to ensure you get proper recognition of your work without you bragging use these smart tips. 😃. Next time the hoodwinker wont get the top rating.
Difference between a hard worker and hoodwinker is the ability to create proof and once the hard worker learns this art, he can surpass the hoodwinker

Thank u Priya. The situation is different for us, u read the filled form and I am going to fill the form😆
very well put... while we were discussing afew posts before on panchkanyas i was surprised to read that there are many articles claiming mandodari was troubled by angada to make ravana forfeit a yagna he was doing... don't know the authenticity of it... .but yes for me too sita and mandodari couldn't be equated together their circumstances are very dfferent

This angadan issue I don't remember whether I come across it or not, can u elaborate?

Very well put... my dissatisfaction with selfappraisal is the reward system attached with it... it's asking to appraise how much worth you are... and in many case sadly it demeans one's selfesteem too and somewhere loose the interest of trying too...

Yes its said the rewarding system is to encourage but i wonder does it really do good,especially in the educational system that too in some kindergarden level where you were given stars if you do perfect else nothing... shouldn't learning be for the joy of learning itself? especially when a child first explores the world...why do we need a rewarding system or a grading system ?

sorry for trangressing ,but since these questions are uppermost in my mind these days and so many good thinkers are here i'm putting this so that somwhere i could get someanswers?

In my opinion, there is no need for rank/grade system upto 5th standard students. They are so young to understand and to accept the reality. But they should be certainly taught about how to face the failure and make it as the learning process. So that the failure in studies/sports may not turn their life miserable.

you have put the word normal which put me in selfevaluate mode ,so i don't know its normal but we could or rather i do when something bores you so much or you are not interested in it but you have to as its considered polite 😉.. may be sita is so bored uh "i got to go through all this till ram comes"😆😉

U too in self evaluation (SE) mode, good. But the problem is when we enter the SE zone, we end-up with unanswerable question😆.

Thanks for an entertaining post... it's a pleasure to read and please do write more often 😊

Its my pleasure and hope to do so. 😊

@Ramya regarding mandodari as I mentioned I'm not sure of the authenticity as mostly wiki could be altered easily https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandodari..
It mentions raavan grieved by his sons loss conduct a yagna and to dissuade him from it angada dragged mandodari by her hair..
Personally I think its a folklore.
.angada was sent by rama as a peace messenger one last time before the war started ...never heard about this and that's y was surprised

@prav it is Maya Mandodari that is dragged. Vibhishan helps vanara in that. They needed to disrupt the yajna as if yajna completed Ravan cannot be defeated. I don't remember which version I read it. But I have read it.
@Ramya I understand Tamil. What to do. In a market which prefers artificial flowers to originals, the originals also has to shout naa😆😆

@Priya: Thanks for sharing.

I have read the Valmiki Ramayan (translated version, not in Sanskrit), but I don't remember such an event mentioned (may be I have to refresh it). Anyways even in this story, Mandodari was immediately saved by Ravan and it happened in his presence unlike the torture faced by Sita.
