Passion,Ration & Leading

happy birthday,dear friend…

age is the predictable wear and tear of your body
ageing is the process where you allow the bulb of your mind to be shrouded by layers of trivialities
obscuring your original light,all you see is shadows
their fear is what you live in
and hence you grow into a layery,hairy onion
capable only of giving others tears,while being shredded itself
remove the layers and destroy the shadows !
although age will kill , but ageing will certainly not let you live

leadership series – vantage points

more than the ability to understand dwarfed and gigantic views of the project landscape,
a not so ordinary leader,demonstrates an ability to smoothly traverse between these views
while being consistently transparent about the level she is operating at.

a great leader goes beyond all this and takes her people along,on a ride,from one level to another & back,
skillfully negotiating the giant’s ego and the dwarf’s aspirations.

glass ? mirror ?

Those years,which now seem like a convoluted coil of confusion and foolhardiness ,back then made perfect sense….actually both prespectives howsoever antagonistic are mirror images,

of,you,the protagnist…

leadership series – knock on opportunity’s door

leadership is usually not about bringing the door down from it’s tethers

it is usually about persistently,calmly,surely,instinctively knocking on the door

so that she greets you with an embrace

and there is an open door for others to follow in

kill joy

fuck self help. you know what really helps ?

kill joy

whenever i feel decent or decently happy,i get suspicious

i suspect that i have advanced & ventured too far into the timeline of middle age

and am about to die as a result of the progress that i have made

i then proceed to find every needle of joy that i can find in that haystack

and kill it

after that,i feel solace

it is far better,believe me

leadership series – the vastness of myopia

avoid,so like me

avoid,islands of competence

avoid, survival for another day

avoid,volunteer-ism

avoid, win win

avoid,carrots

provide,working styles

provide,evolution

provide,learning and across functions

provide,opportunities scantly dressed

provide,grow grow

provide,fearlessness

leadership series – why should we trust you?

Is a continuous path of discovery

You need to discover calm amidst the chaos

And chaos beneath the apparent calm

If you do this consistently,without bias and prejudice

people will trust and follow you….

stalker

i torpedoed out of the maddening crowd..leaving my trails as little sprouts…little squares..4 of them..a complete array…spread as a spectrum..for all to see and awe at…

the lake of abundance

she lay on the stones
hollow eyed & open mouthed
decimated she was,was not a surprise to me
her will had it’s way? finally ?,was what i mused instead

there was nectar,air and water
all elements favorable and aplenty
still in their vicinity she lay
missing her soul and brandishing her carcass
surely she had had her way….

the social archipelago

the room smells of balloons

it is full of celebrations

the room gives me migraines

it is full of laughter

the room is full of water & is plenty with land

each one of us,on our own land separated by the waters of friendly isolation….
