Soul-Curry: a story!

Soul-Curry: a story! Once upon a time there was this Girl who had four Lovers. She loved the 4th Lover the most and adorned him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the very best. She also loved the 3rd Lover very much and was always showing him off to neighboring... kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another. She also loved her 2nd Lover. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times. The girl's 1st Lover was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first Lover. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him! One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four Lovers

Diary of an Introvert

Diary of an Introvert a few common misconceptions about Introverts: Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 –

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!!

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

who said humanity

Read a quote shared by my dear sir, Brigadier Naidu “It is a little embarrassing that, after 45 years of research and study, the best advice I can give to people is to be a little kinder to each other” - Aldous Huxley I am just curious if any one ever asked Mr. Huxley on how being kind and accepting can lead to a state of infliction! These kind of people are considered rare or rather extinct species and it is a general knowledge that whoever enacts such is a dumb and fool or may be far more dangerous. The mad Race that we are all in.. thr always remains a danger of meeting with accidents due to slightest of deviations.. The world has becm like dis whr distrust takes over any other form of humanitarian traits.  We are told from the childhood how important it's to mark oneself always ahead of the crowd. ...but When you are always ahead, you are also alone. How can kindness be shared in such a situation? I'm not sure if the cynic in me is taking over...! But I'm sure dis

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 (???)
