Remember, not so long ago, you were employed, considered competent, even had boss & colleagues singing your praise. You cannot become incompetent suddenly. Your low self esteem is dominating your mind set and thought process. It needs to be rekindled How to elevate self esteem? There are many things you are good at, May be they do not give you job or money, but they give you leadership status. You may be good at cooking, drawing, interiors, or any thing. Just before you structure your resume or before an important interview, do something you are good at, let people see and appreciate, you know it is genuine. You can even visit an orphanage and give pep talk to the less privileged. Management will also like it. This gives you a leadership status, now you are a giver not a seeker, being a giver always adds to the self esteem.

One’s own talent at full bloom can do it, and that is possible only at elevated levels of self esteem. work on your self esteem. Go and conquer the world, and when you are employed, spread the good word, others will get motivated; this could well become the successful employment process.

Raj Thackrey a brief mention
'''Raj Thackeray Brilliance or Annoyance '''

–I know this is a controversial subject and every one would like to contribute ( I welcome).

I am not a politician, I am not a Maharashtrian my definition of Mumbaikar differs from that of Raj, I would like to concentrate on the non political and non controversial aspects of Raj. I know it is the most difficult task in the world.

We cannot discuss Raj without discussing his uncle, his mentor and his peer Bala Saheb Thackeray. Bala Saheb Thackeray.We cannot discuss the problem without going into the genesis of the problem. Bala Saheb as every one knows was an excellent cartoonist who started his career with Free Press Journal the newspaper based in Mumbai. We grew up seeing, reading, and enjoying his cartoons. He was a trend setter in the art of cartoons. He was the first man who started the trend of putting the heads of political leaders to the body of the animals.(for example the body of a tiger with Indira Gandhi’s head attached) which was then followed by the other cartoonist all over the country. Suddenly he vanished from Free Press Journal only to surface in mid sixties when he founded the Shiv Sena.

The Maharashtrians are by nature generally very docile, tolerant and mild mannered. As such Gujaratis, Marwaris, and Madrasis migrated in large numbers settled down in Maharashtra in general and specifically Mumbai .They totally jelled with the local culture and made state proud with their contribution.

Bala Saheb founded Shiv Sena n 1966 with the basic intent of triggering the local sentiment in Marathi speaking population. He secured copies of gazette notifications mentioning the details of Government employees. Not surprising the list showed that the majority of officers in government service were south Indians. Similarly a significant amount of businesses were owned by the Gujaratis and Marwaris.

This succeeded in triggering the dormant Marathi feelings in the hearts of the Maharashtrians. They took the cue and started attacking the non Maharashtrians properties specially the South Indian Ayyer and Udipi hotels boards were blackened with Tar and cow dung .The movement spread like wild fire through the state. The government found it very difficult to control. However with the advent of time non marathis also joined the movement. Balasaheb slowly abandoned non Marathi mudda for a more viable & marketable product the Hindutva mudda. The party spread to other states and became active in north specially Punjab. During the Sikh movement, the Shiv Sena provided the counter and moderating effect.

In the nineties Raj along with Udhav started impacting the Shiv Sena decision making process. In the year 1996 Raj founded the Shiv Udyog Sena and appointed its executive committee. It was with intent of making the Marathi youth self sufficient and self reliant.

The organization facilitated loans for the unemployed youth of Maharashtra.

In the same year he organized the Micheal Jackson night to raise funds for his Shiv Udyog Sena. He can rightly take the credit for bringing Micheal Jackson to India for the first time.

The concert was successfully organized at the Andheri Sports complex.in Mumbai.

Like his uncle Raj is an accomplished cartoonist & a painter. He is also an excellent orator and pleasure to listen to in a moderated environment. It is difficult to defend some of his ideologies and actions (probably most of them) but people who have made more inciting remarks have got away because they were less famous Shri.Ambumani Ramdoss made a statement that Tamilians will not accept a chief minister not born in Tamil Nadu. The statement was made specifically with Rajnikant in mind. He forgot that Tamilians not only accepted such chief minister but they still treat him as a god.

There are similar problems in other regions like the Bengali domination problem in the north eastern states. The differences between the different hills and plains tribes, all these do not catch attention because of their remote location. Mumbai because of its strategic location gets into headlines, which magnifies the problem and comes in the way of early resolution.

Raj has a right have his views, profess and practice them. Many in Maharashtra in fact agree with him. Only his methods are driving people away from him. He has the intellect to win hearts and minds peacefully also. The earlier he realizes the better. The day he abandons his violent methods and resorts to peaceful process, he will be overwhelmingly supported and would probably be taking his first step towards the chief ministership of Maharashtra. And I assure you he will make an excellent chief minister.

So chuck de Patthe Raj, Best of luck.
