Leaders

Now a days most commonly used words are either artificial intelligence or leadership. Today let's talk about leadership because I really pity on those whose only attempt is to suggest use of AI in process. But they fail to answer how? However let's comeback to leadership.

People who talk about leadership are mostly self proclaimed leaders. When things are working fine they take the credit. But when chips are down or in situation where it is really required to show the leadership qualities , they will hide behind the curtains of hierarchy. Probably now we ar3 getting leaders from horn effect where who always says that I am leader is considered a leader.

First things leader should have is lead by example. They should have enough fire in the belly to achieve what is almost an Herculean task for the commoners. They

One year: 1,44,000.00 KM travel

Hello Frnds!!

When I am travelling in the train

I am always making some plan

Finding out there is always new demand

With all the choices drifting over the land

And I cant find one

that would help me to finish work undone

Because I am travelling in the train.

I am never precise

When People ask me

"What i am doing with my life?"

I say its travelling in the train

I am hearing from my friends

Its that tired old advice again

U just cannot keep floating all around

and U got to get your feet back on ground

But its hard to come down

When u r travelling in the train.

I am chatting with my peers

listening to them and hearing their fears

Some of there life hasn't gone as they plan

and some are trapped in situation they cant stand.

I dont want same for me

so i stay up in the train.

On 28-April-2009 i had received an official letter by company to look after the business in south.

Today is the first anniversary.

Let me account fine details for you:

Distance from Nagpur to Bangalore is approx. 1500 KM and from Pune to Banglore is roughly same,Nagpur -Pune:1000 Km,Chennai -bangalore:400 KM etc

In a month i travel 4 times (conservative figure) so it comes out to be 12000 KM of travel in a month to and fro.

Thus, In an year i travel around 1,44,000.00 KM.

I could have travelled around the globe thrice with this much KM or even one way journey to moon. An average indian travell less than this in his entire life span.

Man that is huge. Even i m getting jitters after calculating this figure.

TRAINS,BUSES and FLIGHTS are my mode of travell. Since connectivity of flight to remote areas in south is less hence most of my travel is through train.

PLATINUM RULE

PLATINUM RULE

It has almost been a month that I have been transferred to Deccan Queen “PUNE”. It has been refreshing since earlier I was in South India. I got fad up with Plum gals and there mallegi. Mallegi is the kannad for ‘Gajra’ its string of flowers,mogra, tied on womens pony. Also I got allergic to rasam and chawal. I hate that smell. Even now I cant stand the smell of steaming Idli for breakfast.

But now I am living as a PG in retired majors (Mr.PANSE’s) house. Mr. Panse is the retired person from the army and his left portion is paralyzed. But he sounds more energetic than me in the morning when I wish him GOOD MORNING and he reply back with his crisp army voice :’GUDz MOHNING’.

Mrs. Panse is beautiful lady and extremely talented. I came to know her talent when I first entered theer house where entire walls were decorated with painting and curtains describing the Egyptian era. My room is on second floor and while climbing up the stairs if you really watch the walls you will come to know the story of ‘how pyramids were made’ all through paintings hanging on wall. She might be 10 yrs older to my mother. She makes AWESOME food. All I think about in office while fixing up the deals, bagging orders etc. that what is she going to prepare today for dinner. You know I am a big foody. She always mesmerizes me by doing small small experiments with the conventional food. Have you tasted ‘patta gobhi k parathe’ or ‘Jhunka made with meethi’. She resembles to my mom who to experiments a lot and guess whom she try her all experiment? Its me!!!.

Coming back to the incidence which happened a night just a day before. Mrs panes made wonderful parathes and I praised that by finishing every thing on my plate. I said “ Mrs. Panse you make one the best parathas in the world” and she replied ‘yes. I know. You know my son anirudhh. I used to make him the same whenever he used to come back hungry from college. And he always used to praise me like “MOM. You are the best cook ever born on this earth”. I asked her where is he now? She said he is pune only living near Viman Nagar. After marriage he is living with his Australian wife. That’s when I remembered of a firangi sexy lady whom I saw last Saturday in Mrs. Panse dining hall.

I saw tears in Mrs. Panse’s eyes and than inspite of calling her Mrs. Panse I called her ‘ Aunty!, you are indeed the best cook ever’.

Late that night I was still touched by tears in her eyes. May be she received similar appreciation for her food after a long time. Eventhough his son is in pune but he is no more the one who loved her. May be because he has found another love in the form of his wife. I was stunned by this thought. I found myself in the opposite direction of thermodynamic time where I was seeing the future. In which my asshole boss has just found out that sales have dropped in eastern part of India and he has asked me to be posted there to sort out the issues with customer and thereby increase the sales. I refused his offer on ground of affection,care and love which I am receiving from Mr and Mrs. Panse not as there tenant but as there missing son who has never been lost from there mind (physically) but from there heart. My asshole boss counter offer me by hefty package, a personal car for my travel that too with a driver and extra bonus over every increase in sales. As a am a human so do I am fool , I accepted his offer and left Mr and Mrs.Panse. I am hoping they ll find to out someone to fit into my shoes.

Since that night I never have taken dinner in dinning hall. I asked Mrs. Panse to serve me the plates in my room. Mrs. Panse would send the food through VASANT a servant kept for household chores. She would always ask vasant to find out whether I liked the food which vasant asked as I take my first bite. I answer to him loudly, so loud that my voice can reach the ears of Mrs. Panse that FOOD IS AWESOME AND YOU ARE THE BEST COOK.

Since that day my belief in platinum rule has further strengthen. By the way platinum rule is applied to all the emotional fools like us and it says:

“ LEAVE THEM BEFORE THEY CAN LEAVE YOU”.
