Evading responsibility- आखिर कब तक?
In the recent past, there were many “zero civic sense” memes that went viral on social media, wherein the creators highlighted the poor civic sense amongst us Indians- on the roads, in the markets, in public places, aboard trains etc. It does not take you far from your home or around your office to see…

Time to graduate from begging to earning!
Recently, I was reading a news item where a person was crying profusely for his “mai-baap” (a political leader) remembering that it was his “neta” who got him the job! Apparently, this may look fine as someone needy got a job, so what’s the big deal about it. But, there is a huge problem in…

What is it in the fire?

Does your world make “sense”?
As a thinking human being with ability to understand, analyse and visualize, we often make out our own sense of this world. This experience can vary from person to person. But, we often take for granted the “senses” that enable us to make this sense. Don’t get confused in the jargon of the words, I…

Soul- the quintessential factor that infuses life into anything!
A body without a soul, an organization without organisational values (it’s soul), work without involvement (it’s soul), pursuing anything without a purpose (it’s soul), is as lifeless as a deadwood.
