Premium Gods

Premium Gods You have really become a tough-reach! Is it our sins or insecurities.. or something entirely different that I’m not yet aware of at my present level of Emotional Maturity? ... ...These thoughts have started penetrating my soul since day before yesterday when I stood for around 6-7 hours in the queue for Tirumala-Tirupati Lord Balaji' s Darshan.  Before my intent & message in this post becomes contextually incorrect, let me clarify that I was not at all affected by the wait-time. Because, I’m such an astute believer of Transcendental Powers, and I believe God exist. And these temples are really places where you go seeking their blessings. This needs a lot of efforts both physically & emotionally. And I'm really always ready to endure because the endurance is what magnifies the overall transcendental experiences. So, coming back to the wait-time let me first explain the title of my Post first..! I’d like to Define Premium God a

Clayton Christensen's Acceptance Speech  Clayton Christensen's Acceptance Speech At the beginning of our career; our LIFE, do we have a strategy to be sore and recluse in the long term..? Then why is this that most of us land that way..! Why a stunning number of people execute a strategy that they never want to pursue in the first place. Why do we go through a broken marriage; alienated children, unhappy parents, friends; genuine friends, now totally forgotten, etc.. the list goes on! How many of us have a clear-cut Deliberate Strategy and an Emergent Srtategy and in what sphere of our life (Personal vs Professional)? referred to Henry Mintzberg 's work. Awesome video! Must watch!!

Other Side of the Table...

Other Side of the Table... Kshitij Bansal Congratulations for your promotion Guys! You have done it again. No doubt you deserved that. But before you take on your new responsibilities, I think you must read a story. As they say ‘Power is a necessary evil’, if used to do well, it can create revolution and if mishandled, can create havoc. When my heart provoked me to share with you, a lesson that I learned from my uncle, I penned it down in form of this story. The story is about a guy who got to learn the real meaning of progress and power. With a hope that the message reaches you in high spirit, I wish you all the best. Enjoy reading… Other side of the table… “Really?” was his first word when that sound fell on his eardrums. “I mean thanks! Thanks a lot, Sir! Bye…” He couldn’t believe his ears what he had heard just a few seconds ago. After all he had been waiting for this for years now. He still remembered the day when he became Technical lead. His manager calle

How Will You Measure Your Life?

How Will You Measure Your Life? A wonderful work I found on HBR... and the forum that it created.. I'm still in the awe of these wonderful people around! Thank you  Clayton  for reminding us in such a brilliant and clear way that life is multidimensional; and for bringing sense to it. It is easier to hold on to your principles a 100 percent of the time; but whether or not THAT is the right/better thing to do - must be subject to the scrutiny of your very principle.  After all, its our moral frigidity that creates conflict, prevents co-existence and tolerance and brews superiority and judgement. The choice and successful pursuit of a profession is but one tool for achieving your purpose. But without a purpose, life can become hollow. Ironically, a man realizes the true meaning of his life only after the stark realization of its transcience. If more people follow the path of their heart rather than the crowd mentality of commercial success, the world would be different. Of

I love this quote.

Common sense and flawed emotion don’t always mix ...and this allows for the most unfathomable tendencies, you might laugh at someone for, to have a realistic basis. ...how do you really differentiate b/w DareDeviltry & FoolHardy (???)

The TBs of Corporate universe

Don't let the toxic bosses (TBs) get you down Toxic bosses are an organisational reality. Unfortunately, the corporate universe values the knowledge of leadership more than the actual practice of leadership, which is relegated to showcasing by some iconic leaders. The corporate universe, therefore, finds itself strewn with toxic bosses or TBs; those who know their leadership theory too well but their horrific real-time leadership practices would leave even their teachers red-nosed and embarrassed.  However, success in the work-world belongs to those who have developed the ability to manage all kinds of complex bosses; they veer through the corporate maze much faster and with a lot more ease compared to those who never got such an opportunity or could tackle only simple passes.  Whether your boss is an indecisive chocolate wrapper, an unambitious grunt, a control freak, a politician or a whip–cracker, all TBs are a blessing; they help you build your long-term versatility to ta
