My favorite quote from a not-so-great author

And, when you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it...

Yea yea...most of u wudnt agree...but it is true
The condition is that you must really really want that thing. Watever in the world that is.

Decision making is the most difficult task in the world. The question suddenly comes n stands in front of u, gesturing u to make a move. And it has an effect on your whole life.....
What do u do? GO!
Am stuck at another of those crossroads. With nobody to bail me out this time.
And I will not make a hasty decision this time. No.

Is grief a trophy? Something to flaunt?
Some people blurt it out to the most unknown of persons, some keep it within till it grinds their heart and wrenches their soul out.
Which is better?
People will listen to the former, will respect the latter. I sometimes wonder whether such skills should be taught in school.

Just remembered the mercy speech from high school - Merchant of Venice

The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath.
It is twice blest- It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown.

Gandhi- The greatest manager ever

Once upon a time, there was a skinny, dark, balding man, whose energy and leadership inspired millions to leave the comfort of their homes, come out onto the streets, and shout anti-government slogans without any fear whatsoever. At a time when Indians had lost all self confidence, he taught us to keep our heads high and stand against the greatest imperialist power in the world. Such was his charisma that at his one call, men, women and children stood in line to be thrashed by the police danda, left bleeding on the ground but their faith unfettered!
This man was M.K. Gandhi

One would argue that he was a great leader, popular amongst the masses. But the greatest manager? That seems too far fetched, doesn’t it?

Consider India to be an organization, downtrodden and overpowered by another competitor, Britain. Gandhi was the man who turned around the ‘company’. He had a foreign education when even stepping outside the country was considered unholy by superstitious India. He had the experience because he had revolted for his seat in a train in South Africa and had gone ahead to lead a revolution there. He had ethics, in his own sense. This much about qualifications.

But more importantly, he had the insight, what MBA students study as strategy today. He could foresee the situation and act accordingly. Yes sir, he had his ETOP and SWOT analysis in place for this vast organization! Once, fed up with the casteism that existed in the country, he took a broom and raced to clean toilets at Harijan homes. This can be considered as the most heinous crime that can be committed in those days. Congressmen pleaded and coaxed him but to no avail. Finally, such was his influence that educated, high caste Hindus ran after him and sided with him in the ‘act’. Thus had started the campaign to clean up the caste system which, unfortunately, was twisted and used for political purposes by his successors.

Indians feel emoted at the thought that bapu took to Khadi for the liberation of India. In fact, now everyone knows that he had calculated that the only way to kill the East India Company was to go indigenous. Dandi salt was another example. Still feel there could be a better manager for the nascent India Inc.?

Everyone blames him for India’s partition. What he did was allow the ‘company’ to be split because a portion of the ‘organization’ did not want to be its part. Can you force a worker to stay on in an organization when he wants to leave? Even if we blame the partition fully on that one man, what all he has done for India makes it seem as insignificant as cutting off the tiny finger to prevent cancer from spreading and killing the body.

Revile him all you want, but he was too great a manager to be lost within the nation’s boundaries. Few people know that there is a Gandhi road in the capital city of most countries in the world. Believe it or not, there is a Gandhi Road in Teheran, which is pronounced as Gendi Road; and you wouldn’t know what it means until you walk to the end of the road and see the bust of a bald man!
