For well-being & ample growth of any society it is of utmost importance that all kind of talent are recognized & paid due respect. It is for the betterment of society that talent at different & diverse section of society should be protected & helped . Just for a second we  look around us & think if we are living in a better world then this is due to the combined efforts of some brilliant individual talent who with their relentless energy & pursuit for sheer excellence resulted in achieving brilliant creations in their respective  field which ultimately helped the mankind.

Our nation is full of talented people but unfortunately our society has become so selfish & self-cantered that we only give importance to those who some way or other can bring some benefits to us. We do not realize that it is the talent which can create something which can help all section of society.

In spite of full of talent in all areas our nation is lagging behind due to one fact we do not recognize & respect talent.   Be it Politics , Corporate, Administrative services , Science & technology everywhere  talented people are marginalized & suppressed. The talent from our country migrates to other country & make significant contribution abroad but we suffer. We have become so selfish that we are only concerned about our own well-being at any cost but we ignore our collective responsibility towards our society & nation as a whole. We  crib that we live in a country where standard of living is so poor, law & order is only for rich & powerful , Infrastructure is so bad, government is so corrupt but when a colleague of ours who is more talented than us has a chance of being recognized we do everything  to curtail his or her chances for  recognition & fame.  If you ignore excellence then how can you get the best  of everything in your daily life.

A honest police officer gets frequent transfers , a honest administrative officer gets snubbed everyday by a tainted politician , a honest  employee is devoid of promotion by his or her superiors , list is endless & this is one reason despite of abundance of raw talent  available at every field we fail to give them respect &  recognition.  We can dispute this fact by saying look we respect Sachin Tendulkar , we respect Amitabh bacchan, yes there are exceptions but for one Sachin how many unknown sachins must have gone unnoticed  , even I rate Laxman  &  Saurav no lesser cricketer than Sachin. Saurav was one of the most successful captain after Tiger Pataudi. Laxman  always played a important role for indian team but  did Saurav got the importance what he should have got, I feel no.

Most of us know that we got defeated in 1962 war with china due to total failure in understanding the Chinese psychology by our Political leaders.  In the sudden attack & total lack of direction provided by political class to our Army it was apparent that defeat was written on the wall. Even in that situation the Indian army fought tooth & nail & in some of the battles almost half of the battalion died fighting  to protect their post so the Chinese army could not enter the Indian territory. They fought with their bayonet & bare hand when the ammunition got exhausted but never retreated. One of those battles were Rezang la battle where a regiment of was commanded by Major shaitan singh  who died fighting along with hundreds of his soldiers.  Shaitan Singh got Paramvir Chakra but how many indian knows his name or for that matter even his battalion which gave their lives valiantly so that we be remain safe. The only tribute is indirect enactment in Hindi Movie by great director Chetan Anand  Haqeeqat where he picturized some battle scenes based on rezang la battle.

I was travelling by Taxi on a national highway. I hire same taxi every time I visit one of my working place. My driver recently told me that sir see how good our national highways has become. He suddenly said that we as a community are very jealous of talented people , I enquired why he is making this statement. He said look who initiated this highway project , Atal behari Bajpayee but see when a different government came they removed his name from signboard, at least they should have let his name remain on the signboard as respect towards a good work which he initiated. I do not follow any political party but his reply made me think  that whatever level you are , a talented person is bound to get ignorance & indifference in our nation & then we crib that we are not progressing as we should have. A talented person will bring result no matter whether he or she gets support but in absence of recognition & support the result would be delayed or slowe down.

Cleansing of our own corrupt mind.

I am overwhelmed by the thousands of Indians participating in Anna Hazare Anti corruption movement. It is difficult for an ordinary Citizen to leave his daily chorus & devote time for a greater cause. Life in India Is tough & one has to slog for making his or her livelihood. In this scenario kudos to those who were able to manage time for participating in this greater & noble cause. A thought comes to my mind how much out of these crowd will adapt an honest & truthful approach to there own life. It is little easier to put finger on others but much difficult to put finger on ourselves. Whether it is politician , babus or civil servant , they all are part of our own society. Can we say honestly if any member of our family becomes a member of parliament , we would not take the advantage of the situation. If any member of our family joins police force the very moment we would start behaving with more arrogance. Who kills the girl child immediately after birth in this country , the politician only or any normal Indian citizen. Killing girl child , is it not a type of corrupt mind . why one kills a girl child , because a boy will take care of me in my older days, because he will bring dowry in the family when he will be married , because he will carry the family name after we become a mortal soul. Is this not a type of crude corruption. Who takes dowry , only politicians, The answer you know already. If any of us faces a situation when our boss in the office comes & say that your promotion is confirmed but you have to harass your colleague who is anti boss due to his corrupt ways of handling the department. I bet it won't take more than a minute before i or you start abusing the honest colleague.
We all are so full of evils in our minds & attitude that the whole society has become corrupt but we choose to throw stones on others. People like Anna Hazare becomes so popular due to the fact because we do not have the courage to cleanse our own corrupt mind but we like to change the society with the help of a person who did it effectively in his own life.
I bet nothing will change even if Anna Hazare brings success by bringing Lokpal bill. A society or civilization can not change by simply bringing a Law. IT changes when major part of the society feels for a change within themselves to enable them to create a better world. Once you make a change within your own corrupt mind that day you or we will not require any Anna hazare to do all the hard work. Truth & integrity makes you strong so strong that even government of the largest nation looks pygmy in front of you. Anna has shown us the power of truth . Most of us succumbs to evil ways for two reasons , one our own lust for power & fame , the second due to fear of loosing job if we protest against our corrupt superiors. you have the answer for the second part in Anna Hazare. If you follow the path of truth , you become so stronger that one day everybody will bow to you. As for the first part i would say , Power & fame is temporary phenomenon & it never lasts for forever. When it goes the life for those who are addicted to it becomes a bed of thorns.
Let us pledge today that first we should clean our own corrupt mind if we want to see our country as a peaceful care for for all society.

Anti corruption movement

The current agitation against corruption spearheaded by Sri Anna Hazare & his team has proved one old proverb that a ant can disturb an elephant if it wishes so. This type of situation arises when those who are on the ruling side shows complete antipathy towards the ruled class. In this situation two type of anti ruler movements happened, one peaceful & the other violent one. The violent movement never succeed permanently but the peaceful one always has the capacity to bring down corrupt ruling class. our government is standing on a very thin ground. They in themselves become a community irrespective of there party alignment who enjoys luxury, power , money at the cost of people. they can do anything & get away with it due to there hidden collective cooperativeness in enjoying the fruit of power , money & fame. If a ordinary Indian citizen fails to pay correctly his or her income tax , they are liable to be imprisonment but our politicians & government official can earn much more than what there actual legal earning is , nobody can do anything. See the current state of our provinces like UP , Bihar , Bengal , Orissaa etc. The living condition of a normal human being is pathetic. No electricity, worst road condition, polluted water, worst law & order situation . Just compare the status of our politician in these states & you will understand why the citizen of India is agitated to the extreme.
The politician calls Anna hazare movement attack on parliament, some intellectuals also has similar view. Whose parliament it is, is it our parliament, i do not think so & why we should go on sticking to older tradition. Do we select directly the Prime Minister , answer is no, the party selects it. If a minister is corrupt then do the citizen of India has to wait for five years to remove him. In this fast changing world we have to wait for five years to remove a corrupt parliament member.
Now the time has come we should be very alert to our right. I feel we must change the system from party to individual. The Indian people should be appointing directly the prime minister , the home minister , the defense minister & the finance minister. The citizen of India should elect directly the candidate for these powerful positions. There should be provision of referendum after every single year to judge the performance of these ministers. If the performance is found below sixty percent then the citizen of India should have power to remove him. The multy party system has proven to be failure. it propagates horse trading.
The concept of state assembly is absolutely against the law of republic one & united India. Every small zone wants to be a new state, the politicians vested interest lies in this. New state means new assembly, More money for them to spend on there own welfare. Just take the example what has happened to jharkhand . who has been benefited after its emergence as a new state. Why would people of India spent twice on elections , one for MP & then for MLA's. Why can not the MP only takes the responsibility of running his or her constituency. There are bureaucrats also as a second line of administration. Why there are separate taxes & regulations across various states. You have one rule one taxation culture if India is one.
The politicians has only there welfare in there mind that's why they will never bring any radical changes which will take out India from the shackles of poverty, apathy & ignorance. It is we the people of India who has to rise & bring the radical changes in Law which is by the people , for the people.

Truth

When you have hopes,
You will have dreams
When you have dreams,
You will have conviction
When you have conviction,
You will have courage
When you have courage,
You will have truthfulness
When you have truthfulness,
You move closer to god
When you are closer to god,
How does it matter?
Whether your dreams are fulfilled or not because
You are more concerned about fulfilling others dream

Salary Hike for Members of Parliament

Recently Indian Government has hiked the salary for our Members of parliament. The salary hike is quite significant. It is Good or bad , well we all should be generous enough to wish all the best for others welfare. My concern is anywhere in the world wages are connected to the performance. Any individual gets his or her wages based on there performance. My question is who will justify whether the wages of our honorary Parliamentarians is in line of there performance.

How does public knows what kind of performance our law makers are giving. Is there any white paper on this issue. The situation in our country is pathetic. billions of rupees are spent on our law makers but there is no system of public audit whether the money spent is worth it. Any Indian working in private enterprises gets his wage increment based on the output he or she produced in the financial year. Then why the system should not be followed for our dear members of parliament.

first of all there has to be a performance review parameters for all the law makers. In any particular constituencies there has to be measuring parameters which should define the growth in public work in a particular financial year. There are whole lot of public works. Public Health , public security, power generation , Roads, water supply , public distribution system these are some areas on which growth can be measured.

Government has to devise a system of evaluating the performance of all the government employees including law makers. If they go on increasing the wages without any measuring tool to evaluate the performance then there will be utter despair in the minds of every citizen of this country. Already most of the citizens feel that the ministers are elite class & they are enjoying luxuries of life without executing there task in competent manner. This kind of situation gradually becomes the origin for revolt which ultimately destroys the utter foundation of democracy.

Role of the Manager in the organization

Role of Manager in the Organization

Most of the time the Managers in the organization are a confused lot about what there role is. They are more concerned about the micro part of there responsibilities & hence could not concentrate more on the macro aspect of the management responsibility which they have to execute.
Broadly we can divide the role of a manager into two parts.
One is objective & the other one is subjective.
The objective part is basically to run the business in efficient manner. Manager has to ensure that the objective goals of the organizations are achieved. The day to day business is run smoothly & to remove any obstacle which come on the way. This is what comprises the objective role of a manager & most of the time we find mangers are bogged down with this part only. The most important role of a manager is to identify, nurture & groom employees who would ultimately becomes future business leaders of the organization. Most of the managers forget this role & concentrate on running day to day business & are more concerned with increasing profitability for the organization.
There is nothing wrong with the profitability factor but if an organization has to run successfully for maximum numbers of years, it has to churn out leaders all across the organization constantly. In the name of developing leaders most of the managers will take into there shelter few numbers of employee who understand better than other employees what there boss wants. Bosses will provide all the necessary support & back up to these employees so they look good. Once the platform has been created for these employees then eventually they will be promoted . Its human tendency to like the people who talks good about you & who praises you but if a manager wants to be a successful for longer duration, he has to understand "the success of an organization depends on the shoulders of employees who has diverse skills & competencies ". One type of people will not be able to get you success for a long time. they have to develop leaders all across the organization. There is another danger" if you are surrounded by the people who only appreciate your work & never criticizes you then gradually they will be turning you to have a false feeling of supremacy. Ultimately you will be trapped into " I am great syndrome" which will slowly reduce your willingness to learn new things & with the passage of time you will fade into oblivion.
If we want not to happen this we must pay more attention to the macro part of our role as a manager & that’s all about identify, groom, and motivate employees from all spectrum of the organization into a future business leader. This can be achieved successfully by keeping aside your personal likings or disliking & judging the employee on his capacity to execute the job efficiently, his keenness & ability to learn new competencies, ability to perform in a team , his assimilation & understanding of organization culture.
It’s a chain reaction; managers develop people into becoming leader who are directly working under them. They in turn develop people into leaders who are working under them & the process goes down to the lowest level of employee of the organization. How it is being ensured that the process is working?
There are two methods by which organization can find out whether the leadership program is being successfully implemented. One the organization should conduct employee survey periodically from outsize agencies & second to have close tab on employees appraisal card. Both these tools will be immensely helpful to the managers to understand in which direction there organization will be heading. In the last it is his will power & sincerity will decide whether he wants to be a manager only, or for a long period to come he wants to be remembered by his peers as a true leader.
