Reevaluating Human Resource Management: Beyond Gender Stereotypes and Misunderstandings                              Bon Ami Laishram  Human Resource Management (HRM) has often been stereotyped as a "women's job" in both business schools and informal industry settings.

While these attributes are undoubtedly valuable in HR, the landscape has evolved significantly over the years.

Ageless Love

                           Ageless Love                 Bon Ami Laishram  In the realm of time and space, we stand apart, A bridge that spans both age and life's depart, But like a fairy's grace, your beauty shines, Ageless, radiant, in these heartfelt lines. You're the wine that ages,  Yet never fades, Each year a blessing, in your light cascades, Confidence, a beacon, you boldly wear, A symbol of courage, beyond compare. Though bridges may stretch, far and wide, The love for thee heart is ever increasing,  For in your eyes, I find my guiding star, No matter the differences, near or far. With every passing day, you only grow, More enchanting than the winter's snow, In the tapestry of time, the love is deepened  Boundless, enduring and known.
