More on the Lokpal Bill

Just one question to Team Anna....do you believe in the Constitution of India? If yes then let it decide on the bill. You can't dictate terms and conditions to the Parliament that is supreme institution. If you don't then what's the point in getting your version of the bill passed the Parliament?


And Yes...I too want the a corruption free India but not with the gun held to my head or through compulsion but out of my own free will which the Constitution gives me the right.


By putting a deadline for the Lokpal Bill to be passed by 30th August are we not denying ourselves the right to debate and evaluate all the pros and cons, consider all the possibilities, identify a common ground? Are we being just to ourselves, our Constitution and our Nation? When we plan a simple family picnic we take care of all things. Then why compromise with our Nation?


Gandhiji, if I am not wrong, never set deadlines and he never showed any disregard for any country or any Constitution. He pursued what was just and in a manner that was just. It took him five more years to gain freedom after starting the quit India Movement. With whole nation with him you think it was not easier for him to uproot the British..but let it evolve through the people not through him, through a just and fair manner.


Let's do a simple thing...just the like the Alcoholic Anonymous do...they say "I won't drink today." For the simple reason they don't know what's going to happen tomorrow but today is well within their control....Let's start saying and practising..."I will be honest today."

What's Next

Life can get pretty tough if you have not decided on what's next. Because each time you achieve or do something on the go, you have to keep thinking about what's next.  Spontaneity is good to an extent. It can get you to a particular point, but then after you have to be sure about which way are you going to go or what you are going to do next.  There will come a time when you will have to sit down, reflect, and ask some tough questions to yourself. Do some soul searching in your quest to find out what is next.  Because you can't be aimlessly be shooting out in the dark and hoping to hit the target. Knowing where, what, why, and how you are going to aim for the target drastically improves and enhances your chances of hitting the target.  So the next time you think about what's next, think of it as a series of goals and objectives to help you achieve the big picture. Preparation combined with a dash of spontaneity takes what's next to the next level.

Day 19 - The Power of Multidisciplinary Approach

In an era of specialization, many of the world's most successful people advocate for a broader, more holistic view—one that embraces a multidisciplinary approach to life. This approach involves combining knowledge and skills from various fields, leading to better problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. Think of a Renaissance person like Leonardo da Vinci, whose expertise spanned art, science, and engineering, shaping innovation for centuries. Today, the importance of a multidisciplinary mindset has become even more crucial in navigating the complexities of modern life. The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Approach David Epstein’s book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, provides compelling arguments for why those who explore a wide variety of interests often outperform their more specialized peers in the long run. Epstein highlights examples from sports, business, and science, showing that people who dip their toes into different fields are often...

How Many Things Do You Do in an Hour?

How Many Things Do You Do in an Hour? Not finish, do. It’s different. Doing has nothing to do with finishing. Neither am I talking about productivity. I’m just asking — what do you do? Let’s see... You walk into the office. Grab a cup of coffee — if your office provides one. Sit down, open your inbox. You start typing a reply — But a word in that email triggers a memory. Oh, that call! The one you forgot to make. You pull out your phone. Dial. Done. Except… now that call adds a new task to your to-do list. (If you keep one.) Before you hang up, a colleague stops by. You end the call. You listen. It’s about that meeting you missed. Because you were in another meeting. A more important one. Apparently. You nod, thank them. Just then — your phone rings. It’s your manager. "Update me on the meeting you attended. And I hope you got the heads-up on the one you didn’t. Meet me in five minutes." You say yes. You turn back to the email — But remember: You had asked someone...
