#vrplayingwithfire: PRCI launches social communication campaign
MUMBAI: Shocked by the recent
fire mishaps claiming scores of lives, Public Relations Council of India (PRCI)
has launched a social communication drive, #vrplayingwithfire to focus
attention on the appalling lack of fire safety in public places.
Communicators and people in general
must raise their voice, use the powerful tool of media and social media to work
on mass awakening about the death traps that we encounter daily, said PRCI
national president and veteran media professional B N Kumar.
“Don’t we see that the
restaurants, hotels, multiplexes etc that we visit have narrow passages that could
be death traps in case of accidents?” asked PRCI Chairman Emeritus and Chief
Mentor M B Jayaram.
The tweets being posted PRCI
read: #vrplayingwithfire Do our homes, eateries, cinemas, offices, clubs, Rly
stations, airports etc have fire safety norms? Raise ur voice, ask questions,
post here & other platforms. No lessons learnt from past disasters? Act
now, else repent later. Join @PRCINOW campaign.
Apart from various
influencers, media houses and professionals, PRCI has also tagged the PMO with
a plea to Mr Narendra Modi to look into
the disaster-prone areas.
“It is the duty of all of us
to keep raising questions about safety of our places of work, residential and
commercial complexes and so on, “ Kumar said and pointed that the interior
roads of many swanky complexes in several places of Mumbai are narrow.
“Yes, everyone talks about
safety at the time of disasters and forget after that. That is the tragedy of
our lives,” Jayaram said expressed the hope that at least the communication
fraternity would keep the issue alive and keep tweeting.
PRCI has recently conducted much
appreciated social communication drives such as #missionmumbailocal to focus on
the plight of suburban commuters and #IamParsikHill-IamDying for environment
safety and protecting the hills on the outskirts of Mumbai
PRCI is the pan-India body
of public relations, media, social media, advertising, HR, marketing
professionals and mass communication academicians and students with chapters
across 30 cities. It recently floated a global platform called World
Communicators’ Council (WCC) with chapters in UAE and Sri Lanka.

The EI Quotient!
“We often add to our pain and suffering by
being over sensitive and over reacting to minor things and sometimes taking
things too personally” - Dalai Lama.

This is true to a great
extent among many of us and with the younger gen in particular. Tiny
aggravations add to a major source of suffering. Therapists call it the process
“personalizing - A tendency to narrow the psychological field of vision by
interpreting or misinterpreting everything that occurs in terms of its impact
on us”
Constant stream of positive
and negative thoughts along with emotions often bother us. And come to think of
it, aren’t we lucky enough to be born as men and women because we enjoy the
opportunity of using our intelligence to be positively emotional?
Emotional Intelligence – or
EI, as I see it - gets the top priority in my update list, as I try to keep abreast of what is going on
within me and at the same time I am able to decipher, (but not give a feedback
unless asked )the lack of EI which
affects the people(negatively) around me.
The self-improvement
process, for most of us is limited to chasing education, knowledge, getting experienced
in the work we do etc. We ignore the
bigger aspects of emotional mastery. We
prove ourselves inadequate with the range of emotions we have
to deal with every second of our existence. We create situations for us to be
angry, insecure, Jealous, overly passionate etc. It could be either because we do not
understand how it can influence our relationships and lives (for the better or worse)
or we allow it to exist the way it is with no attempts to improve. Chalta Hai attitude!
My stomach goes in knots
when I see some of my friends who Google out everything to seek knowledge on
issues such as: why do I get angry, why
am I sad or why cannot I manage my emotions, why do I feel insecure, and what should I do when I am cranky.
They also spend their time and money for quick fix solutions by visiting
experts who are available for every problem they face with their emotions. And
what do they do when their concerns fail? They just sweep their problems under
the carpet.
Self awareness appears to be
the easiest thing to create, but this can also be the toughest depending on how
we deal with our lives. We have to
introspect, spend some time to find out from where and why our concerns or
problems arise. Even though our core feelings are only Happiness, Sadness,
Anger, Fear and shame, I really wonder
the innumerable streams of emotions
pouring in day in and day out while we are working in office, home, partying,
gymming, spending time with friends etc.
Did someone say meditation?
Yes, it is a good exercise to think about ourselves. I often do it and find it
very useful.
Friends, I love the topic so
much and I speak from my heart, rationing the content by limiting myself so
that I explore some more and revisit you again.
Till then emotionally
yours….
