Supermacy

"Oh! That's the ant hill I can crush by my foot!"

Yes, true! 'Coz you don't have the stature to look upto mountains, and so settle for ant hills.

Many people I came across have the above definition of taking control. In life we are always amid two pavements, one above us and one below. That is we are always younger/ smaller/ less skilled/ junior/ less knowledgeable/ subordinate/ etc from someone and on the other hand senior/ bigger/ larger / wealthier/ etc from somebody else.

Its a great thing to be senior to someone, you give a chance to somebody to look upto you, to respect you, to follow your footsteps. But to be bossy about it, to try to control, and/or emphasize control is not justified. Just to conquer and crush the ant hill you are capable of doesn't Rationalize.

Leaders and seniors ( yes they are not the same) should try to nurture their ant hills, and all of them, not just the ones that they can't crush because they know they need those to make their reign a success.

A friend of mine was working with an organization for the sake of work experience. She had already got another better job. But her manager was a leader with beautiful ideology, and she found herself working for him and not for the company or the project. Her manager's behavior made the inner employee within her rise.

Help build the ant hills under you, one day they might come handy in times of crisis, with their underground food storage!

Attraction

"What makes you click?" He asked brushing his leg against mine, "Definitely not this..." I thought, reserving my leg and faking a shy smile.

"Well there are many factors...."and I listed out a confusing and self contradictory list of factors.

Attraction is a vague subject, and I have never found a perfect answer in this field. Usually we have criterion lists for each and everything around, but our decision making power just some how gets quicken in the vicinity of a person we are attracted to.

Many people judge attractiveness by skin tone, height and other such bodily features. Most people find people with fairer skin tone to theirs attractive. Many other are obsessed with other bodily features such as eyes lips hair and such endless list.

The funny part I find is, we usually have an ideal list on our list regarding attractiveness. While there are some people who have absolutely zero matching features with our list but there is some "X"

factor about them that draws us towards them.

Like some body who hates smokers, and gets attracted to a smoker and with the plans of making him quit eventually gets married!

So attraction depends on timings, maybe chemistry or maybe stars!!

Power

It's a strange context, the elephant too is sometimes threatened, by his own power!

By his own power?!!

Well yes, a new teeny ant joins the office, the boss Mr. Elephant gives the ant a nice warm welcome, with grand plans of suppression and subordination in mind ( with a wicked wink).

Mr. Ant has a positive outlook towards work, he wants to work, bring out a positive change. All co workers are happy with Mr. Ant. They might not be showering him with compliments but are contended with his work and behaviour, so don't have any complaints against him.

Which is bad, right? Bad for Mr. Elephant obviously! He needs something against Mr. Ant to keep him under his feet. Mr. Elephant switches work profiles, makes him work round the clock and everything to make him frustrated. Our Mr Ant is a fine worker or we can say a non complaining obedient employee, he gives his best and doesn't complaint.

Now Mr. Elephant needs something more, something to make him feel suppressed. He greets Mr Ant one fine morning in the most unusual manner; he shouts at him in front of all office employees, for a petty issue. Mr. Ant quietly listens to his boss. He knows there is no point arguing or putting ahead his point. He makes himself busy in his routine with a subconscious side story running in his mind, what if he had shouted back...
