Celebrating 5,000 Posts: Reflecting on My Journey and Growth with the Citehr Community

Dear friends, It is a matter of great pleasure to inform you that this is my 5,000th post. Since 4th November 2006, I have come a long way. In my uninterrupted journey on Citehr Express, I have visited many stations and met numerous fellow travelers. This travel has exposed me to newer dimensions of the HR world.

Benefits of Citehr Membership

Membership of Citehr has been beneficial to me in two ways. Primarily, I have been able to offer advice to upcoming HR/Training professionals. Many HR/Training professionals work without the guidance of senior HR, and it has been a great pleasure for me to provide suggestions and advice to these members in need. While doing so, I have been straightforward but also made sure not to use these individuals as punching bags. Often, instead of offering a solution, I have posed critical questions where the answers lie.

Personal and Professional Growth

The outcome of my membership on Citehr is that it has helped me promote my business. However, what truly gratifies me is that I have contributed more to this forum than I have received. It is disheartening to note that some service providers, especially training companies or professionals, use this forum solely for business promotion. Perhaps, hoarding pearls of wisdom secretly may define their leadership. Be that as it may!

Journey to 5,000 Posts

It took me almost seven and a half years to reach 5,000 posts. If I had chosen to download content from websites and upload it here, I would have achieved this milestone much sooner. However, I did not believe in this approach. The number of posts on Citehr was not my target.

Acknowledgments

The credit for creating this forum goes to Mr. Siddhartha Roy (Sid). The driving force behind this forum's success is something I have always been curious about. This forum thrives on quality responses from senior members such as Mr. Narasimhan, Saswata Banerjee, Nathrao, Bhaskar S, Adv. Sushil Luthra, Harsh Kumar Mehta, Sateesh TS, and others. My heartfelt appreciation to them!

My 5,000 posts have given me a deep sense of fulfillment. I wish the same for all of you. As we continue to work towards improving the HR world, I hope Citehr will remain a vibrant platform indefinitely.

All the best!

Hi Mr. Dinesh,

Congratulations! It is really great to have a lovely and long journey on this blog. I often come across many of your posts, and it's truly wonderful to stay connected. Keep up the good work, and may your posts be beneficial to all in our community.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Dinesh,

Greetings. Please accept our heartiest congratulations on achieving the milestone of 5,000+ posts benchmark. Your long journey since November 2006 to date, in guiding the young and aspiring HR fraternities, is truly praiseworthy.

Whenever I get demotivated, I draw energy from individuals such as Mr. Nashbramhall, Mr. Samvedan, Mr. AV Srinivasan, and other senior members like yourself, as well as the younger members like Mr. Anil Arora, Mr. Saswata Banerjee, Mr. Keshav Kargaonkar, Ms. (Cite Contribution) Majumdar, and other HR team members.

We are in need of your support and guidance indefinitely, so please continue to guide us as you always have, Mr. Dinesh Divekar.

Regards

Truly an incredible feat! Well done! You are most definitely underestimating the value you have created here because there are going to be hundreds of thousands of young professionals who will read through these same posts and learn over many generations. I also hope all these accumulated posts will bring you a lot more business as many of them will be viewed multiple times by many thousand users over the course of the years to come. The new developments should help in that direction.

Congratulations! Here's to 50,000 more from you!

Regards,
Sid

Congrats.

I have learned a lot about HR from the valuable posts of Shri Dinesh. Looking forward to many more informative and educative posts.

All I can say is this Dinesh: CARRY ON DOCTOR :-)

"When you give someone 'something,' the other person gains, and you have that much less; When you give knowledge/ideas to someone, the other person gains, AND you TOO still have it with you." Not my quote but picked up from the book "How Google Works".

1. I congratulate Sh. Dinesh Divekar ji for such a long association with CiteHR. I became a member of CiteHR in October 2013 and have found that the notes recorded by Sh. Divekar ji in the threads/topics are very exhaustive, professional, and also in accordance with the situations as mentioned by the initiators of the topics.

2. I wish Divekar ji and his establishment success and progress in every field and hope that his association with CiteHR will continue for countless more threads/topics so that we may enrich ourselves with his knowledge and experience.

3. I am also thankful to the management of CiteHR for providing us this platform to share our experiences and to learn something new from its experienced and senior experts like Divekar ji.

Regards

Congrats, Dineshji! May five thousand become ten thousand and the followers get wiser. A small correction: it is eight and a half years, not seven and a half as mentioned by you.

Regards and best wishes.

All the best, Mr. Dinesh. We look forward to your 10,000th post soon. Keep posting! It's necessary to introduce new subjects as well. I have noticed very few new amendments emerging in HR matters.

Dear Shri Dinesh Divekar,

Congratulations on such a great achievement! You are a pool of knowledge for this forum. I hope you will always share your experiences and views to enhance the value of the forum.

Gurmeet

Dear Sir,

Congratulations! We would like to express our anticipation that the journey with Cite HR will continue for a long time by sharing your valuable knowledge.

I would like to know the statutory compliances to be followed in Maharashtra state for the new upcoming industry, specifically the procedures on the part of the Principal Employer and competent authorities under:
a) BOCW Act
b) Contract Labour (R&A) Act
c) Any other applicable regulations

Regards

Congratulations. It's not just determination that takes you to reach and cross such significant landmarks; it also needs "matter," "attitude," and "hands-on experience," and I have found that all these three reside in you in abundance. That means you must go on! Best wishes for future journey and contributions to the professions.

Cheers,
Regards

Congratulations, Dinesh. Sorry, I could not respond to your post due to a sudden change in our plans. I am slowly getting back to normal. It's nice of you to have named people who have also contributed and inspired you to take a very active part.

You are right; contributing what little we know does not diminish our knowledge; rather, it enhances it. When we read posts from other contributors, it increases our knowledge. Please march on to the next milestone, regardless of consultants just advertising their services without making any contribution. Please do not let that discourage you from contributing.
