The following is a depiction of the enormous similarity that cuts across Subjects [ scriptures, science, management, philosophy] and the Geographical Boundaries and the Different Age/Era. This is a small part of a larger framework that I am trying to build for Management Application. Column 1: Source; Column 2: Representative of Worldly aspects; Column 3: Representative of Wisdom Aspect; Column 4: Representative of Evolution/Transcendental Aspect.   **though the framework has bucketed the various items in the cells, each of the item is not strictly interchangeable within the same column or limited or non-overlapping with respect to other cells. Source Monetary/Worldly Wisdom Evolution Indian Shaastras Karma Gyan Bhakti Maslow Hierarchy Basic Needs Societal Acceptance, Rejection Self-Actualization Plato Appetite R...

In fast escaping evening hours of Wednesday, I came out of a beautiful meeting and was waiting for the lift to transport me down from the 14th Floor. The bell rang and the doors slided sidewards…I stepped in and gifted myself and the existing young passengers  a gentle smile. Their response was strange eyes and zipped lips…only to give way after some moments to a teasing laughter amongst themselves. I moved on.. walked past the campus and soon found myself amidst Noise Wars…autorickshaw grrrring here and bikes squeaking there, SUVs & Sedans bullying here while buses elbowing there. In my recent interactions with many friends and business colleagues, traffic has been a staple conversation. Somehow our Culture has a new mirror in form of the roads. Everybody’s in a hurry, very few have got the courtesy-patience, signals are milestones to be broken, honks are ringtones to be flaunted, out-smarting the other vehicle is somehow linked to performance appraisals, ...

Open Source as the name suggests is something that can be openly (freely) accessed or sourced. It also implies that “some things” are available to absolutely everybody to be accessed. These “some things” or “societal open source” include concepts such as language, culture, nature,  etc. When extended, as explained by Matt Ridley in one of his talks “when ideas have sex”, he offers a beautiful explanation about the ubiquitous, compulsory, “not do-withoutable”  interdependence of people …hence also their capabilities…hence also their labor…hence also their inventions and discoveries. Come to think of it…I am writing this mail but I have not invented the iPad, I have not invented language, I have not invented my surroundings and yet I am availing of all of the past human endeavors to make this email happen. At individual level, each of us are also continuously dipping into the open source format of the physiology which has evolved over a period of time…refere...

Busy eyes scrolling screens, Busy ‘I’s filling Social Dreams, Each Moment births new(.)com_ers Promises bridge @brick and mortars While the Outernet called the “Internet” simply amazes, The Internet called the “In”ternet increasingly mazes, Outernet will ever change…the look, the feel, the ability, “In”ternet needs a change…the serene, the calm, the stability. Many an advances in Science hinting, Outernet can stabilise the “In”ternet, if only we know to net the outer…ther Outernet called “Internet” If only we know to net the inner…the awarenet, the desirenet..

 Last two decades have seen some really intense effort on part of scientific community to collaborate the distinct faculties of science for better understanding. In a recent panel discussion of one such gathering in San Diego, there were fundamental discussions around social primates, self identity and xenophobia. I have attempted to  further the interpretation in the following manner for Corporate Use. 1. “We are social primates”…we are primed to be social…to have interpersonal relations or equations with family, neighbours, relatives, occupational, society, ecosystem at large. This is exhibited humungously more in humans than any other species. 2.” Deriving self identity also on basis of groups we are a part of”…identity of self has a big component of “belonging ness ” to a group… ….”birds of a feather flock together”…is a classic reference point. In fact in the Corporate Environment, the employees quickly figure out seeming like-minded ness and align ...

World roars, “Who Are You?”, Ignorant Follower…the Mind… doesn’t Argue. To become “The Who”, you join the race, The Climb to become the Followed “Few”. “Is” versus  “The Ought” lives few moments in your busy life, “The Who” shouts back, “Ought” is a mirage…the endless-meaningless strife. “The Who” enslaves you, en-corrupts you, Un-ethics you, Un-humans you, You say just some more distance you will cover and then, You will leave the chase of “The Who” “The Who” as defined in Scriptures, also the Science necessitates, Is “The Who” who Lives Life of Values-Virtues; Million Years of Human Existence, Billions walked this Earth, Few made it to “The Who” and Many a Billion mere Clueless Clue, Values-Virtues are super abundant and needs only to be mined, “The Who” is No-Thing but brutal battle inside and of the Mind. Everytime you become ‘The Who”, you want to be “Another Who”, From “One Who” to “Another Who”, If you can discover … The One witnessing inside of You...

  In the vastness of inattention, there is a thread of attention In the ocean of forgetfullness, there is a drop of memory In the galaxy of vacuum, there are some grains of matter In the continuum of existence, there is figment of space In the moment called billion billion years, there is a tick of time For what we chose to attend, there is vastness of wilful or default ignorance. In Corporate Scenario, one hunts for statistics, analysis, etc to reduce the vast dimension of data. This in debate of sages vs scientist is refered to as “reductionist” approach where we reduce everything to mind-friendly patterns or equation or theories. And this precisely what is contradicted by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book Black Swan where the affinity to the known makes us enemity or dislodger  to the infinity of unknown. In Corporate, One has to be mindful and awareful of wider gamut of data always to see if one is missing the assimilation of outlier in quest to pat...
