Anna is Back

Anna and his team are back after a hiatus. Some would have expected them to do their homework at least this time round and come out with a proper road map. But alas... going by the tirade there hardly appears to be any other than publicizing the event. Allegations. Just allegations and former bureaucrat, a former IPS, a former Supreme Court Judge and even a Law Minister want FIR to be filed against a set of ministers based on allegations. That's really something. Going by the same principles if I have any allegations against any of the Team Anna member and FIR should be registered against them as well. I am damn sure however these so called civil society members would not apply these same measures to themselves.

True, there are a lot of corrupt ministers who have been elected to Parliament. But who elected them? The people. The people who voted and the people who did not vote. Why is Team Anna refraining from supporting the election reforms the Election Commission is trying to bring in. Why is it they are not working towards educating the people of perils of voting wrongly or not voting at all (again some of the Team Anna members did not exercise their option to vote so looks like a difficult task). That reminds me what our beloved Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi said, "We must be the change we want to bring this world." Put this filter to Team Anna and you realize why the efforts are not taking off.

There is no dedicated or consorted effort. There is no vision. Just a desire. A long term plan has to be chalked out. Given the expertise that is available at hand with Team Anna they need to invest in creating better candidates, educating the voter and working with the youth rather than just setting deadlines. I am well aware that is a demanding task but worth trying out. For it is not those who are sitting the Parliament who are going to be the future of India but the youths who are out there and needs to be tapped into. For it is them who are going to form the future and have to shaped for creating a better India. 

Till then no matter how many times Anna makes a comeback the effort is going to fizzle out and soon there won't be any fizzle left either.

Emotions in Business - Fear: The Good Side

Fear is often painted as the villain in the business world—the force that holds us back from taking risks, making bold decisions, or stepping into uncharted territory. But what if we’ve misunderstood fear all along? Fear, when harnessed correctly, is not a weakness; it’s a powerful signal. It tells us what matters, sharpens our instincts, and forces us to prepare better. From startups to Fortune 500 companies, understanding fear can be the difference between reckless decisions and calculated risks. Fear and Decision-Making Fear plays a crucial role in business decisions. A CEO contemplating an acquisition fears overpaying or making a wrong strategic move. An entrepreneur fears market rejection. A salesperson fears losing a big deal. But these fears, when analyzed, can guide better decision-making. Instead of dismissing fear, we must ask: What is this fear telling me? Is it highlighting a blind spot? Is it pushing me to prepare better? Successful leaders don’t eliminate f...

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...
