The Unprofessional

Highly inspired by Subroto Bagchi’s The Professional, I was riding on a wave of optimism of the highest order.  Hope you had noticed the ‘was’.   Suddenly, my perspective went to dumps after some turn of events – which when I investigated for the cause and effect, highlighted an area for serious discussion. Professionalism is

Pain and Agony

Pain and Agony both indicate the same very unpleasant feeling, varying in intensity and time. So unpleasant, we wouldn’t like to think of it. But when it happens in whatever ways, for those moments when we are in it, the whole world would have fallen on us.  Remember pain and agony  during Kingfisher times (read good

Corporate Paranoia

Paranoia according to dictionary is an extreme and unreasonable feeling that other people do not like or are going to harm you or criticize you. Essentially a false belief. Corporate ?

Cleansed in Milk

Why do we always fight to prove, what we are at is Right? Or, why is the other person so vehemently avoiding the Truth, which is so obvious to me? I think, Truth is more perceived than factual. So, heartburns need to come down, when we realise that what we find as absolute truth, cleansed

Bad Appraisal Cycle can bring down Political Parties, Why not Companies then. Congress has gone through a very bad appraisal cycle. Hard to believe, check the news on Narayan Rane. In his own words, “it’s been 9 years. All have become CMs but me”. His angst against the party cannot be misplaced, given his stature

Priests have become important than Gods

Any point of time, my bit of experience or call it bitter experience in accessing the Gods becoming difficult because of or due to the influence of the priests.

On Fire

Just to unwind, I closed my eyes and decided to stay put for some time. Off late, I stopped to unwind, and it is showing up on my health. Back, I allowed my thoughts to go as astray, weird or wild as it can go. Thanks to the TV of my childhood, old visuals, of
