Nature's Power

God's Gift is this blue planet called earth, surrounded by beautiful nature. Water falls, Green Hills, White snowy mountains, Red Volcanoes. deep blue seas...wow....can you see any other planet this beautiful. Well Humans are always exploring withtheir intelligence space and nature.

Today most of our discoveries or inventions exploit the nature for better living.

You can live without money for years
You can live without food for months
You can live without Water for days
You can live with out Air for secs...


Imagine life without the mother nature....The power of nature comes good to us, when you produce electricity, make houses, create planes...but when mother natures shows her destructive power. which comes in the form of tsunamis, cyclones .....etc etc ...These are resulting when you unbalance the nature....who else is the responsible for the same, just everybody ..........need to save the nature and preserve the power of the nature.
Go........Go Green Please.....

Family Reunion

My Parents and brothers family just left Pune, The Pune station is most congested station I ever seen. Well this is set for defense personnel, but things changed...so better authorities make it neat and create more space for people & vehicles.
We need to balance between social stigma and professional stress.....it is always tough game in India. America surpassed this, but still in some parts of Europe and Asia the family culture still exists.
Now a days nucleus families are disappearing and satellite families are emerging. Both have advantages and disadvantages. In my view earlier part of the life when you get newly married, better stay away from nucleus families and then reunite post kids....

God Ganesha and Leadership

Fast approaching God Ganesha's Birthday in September. In Pune this is one of the big festival.

In Hindu mythology, it is believed that there are 30 Million i.e 3 Crore Gods, well each god born for a different purpose and had communicated a different message. Any way it should not be surprised that a country with more than 1 Billion people has 30 Million Gods.

OK, let us take Lord Ganesha...he is the leader of Gods Army, his features are Elephant Face, 4 Hands, a long Trunk, a large Stomach and short height. He used to travel always on a Rat....

Well there is some learning out of this god too.....Look at the description of this Leader..

Ganesha 's

Big Ears indicate - Listening skills
Big Trunk Nose- Smell the problems in advance
Side glanced eyes - See what you can not see..
Big Head - Indicates -Think Big
Large Stomach - Ability to swallow and digest big Data
His Rat -Indicates the need for speed in action.
His 4 Hands - Ability to do multi-processing.
His Bowl of Ladoos (prasad) - Never forget to recognize and reward people
His Trishul Weapon - Three prong approach before use of danda( Stick) Sama (coach), Dana (Goodies), Bedha (differentiate)
His Abhay Hand : Says will take care
Ofcourse his small height indiactes humility .................

So our predecessors were very inteligent and used all kind of verbal and non verbal communications. They created Gods with specific features to convey us with out telling us.

Any way let us bow to Lord Ganesha.....

Happy Lord Krishna Birth Day

Today is Lord Krishna's Birth Day , Krishna's preachings are well known in Hindu Religion as Bhagawadgeetha.... which has 18 Chapters. This was taught to King Arjuna in Kurukshetra War, where the Pandava Kings defeated the Kauravas. Well mythology is always interesting to know, but one thing wonders me ....this war occurred probably 1000 Years ago , but they had all missile technology. King Arjuna was famous in these missiles or arrows....which used to be called as Naga (snake), Agni (fire), Vayu (air) etc etc...which used to be primarily surface to air and Surface to surface missiles.

Well Mahabharata gives us mixed learning, Sibling rivaling, Polygamy, Bloody wars et etc... but one that Lord Krishna gave us is the holy book Bhagavadgeetha....
which kind of preached humanity, Values, Respect etc......

Hare Rama Hare Krishna.....Hare Hare....
Happy Krishna Janmashtami

India Won first Individual Gold in Olympics

Thanks to Abhinav Bindra , who brought laurels to our country by winning first Individual gold and second gold after 28 years which was won by Hockey Team.

Well there were lot of other unsung heroes won silver and bronze, but this was really different pride for India.

But 2nd largest democratic country in the world, just produced one gold....at same length a country which is like us (china) produces several.....sports except for cricket has been looked down by every body...even if we can spend half of what we spent on IPL.....probably we can produce many Olympics heroes.. It is very clear from Abhinav's trimph that the entire system has to change and make it more cordial to motivatefor taking /games as a profession rather than hobby.

Let us hope Beijing will bring many many more golds.....definitely 080808 has been lucky for India sofar.

One World One Religion-Humanity

We have many ways to pray god and many religions to reach him. But if you notice few common things . Hindu religion believes in Bhagavadgita taught by God Krishna, Islam believes in Quran and Christians in Bible taught by Christ. Philosophy is based on books written or told by god or its followers/disciples. There is a resounding similarity between the way Krishna and Christ born.
Also There is utmost importance to five elements in the religions, for example Hindus call Pancha Bootha ( Fire, Earth, Space, Water, Air), the same elements were prayed by different ancient religions in different forms. Similarly Muslims have essential five practices

shahada (profession of faith), Salah (ritual prayer), Zakah (alms tax), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). SIkhs religion also practices five importamt Ks...Kadga, Kesa, Kangan, kada etc....
Now to draw further more similiarities...Olympics got Five rings....is that saying Five is a common thread across the world...one world and one dream....

So if we keep digging deeper in to religions....they all teach one element is to respect humanity....
If we try to build that as core value....may be we donot see ny more terrorisam....

Pune as City

Just after passing out of Engg. college, I came for an interview to Pune with DRDO. It was with lush green, surrounded by hills and I felt like dream city. Now, when I moved over to here, it was a shock indeed. Unplanned roads, lost greenary, dried rivers and complete concrete jungle. However the blessing in disguise is still few places around pune keeps it's natural beauty like Nilshi, Mulshi, Mahabaleshwer etc etc....

I am surprised to see there are no green parks in pune like Hyderabad and also not many options venture our in the evenings except for food and shopping.

One more suprising element is the masks people wear with their duppatta, but looks like this is fallout of pollution in city.

The camp Nilishi the site where we went for Team building is an amaging location. white waterfalls and thick green trees, a big and deep lake, the rains were adding further beauty to the enviornment.

I hope the l adminsitration in pune gets its act right to make it greener and cleaner pune soon.

Creating the Winning Team

We live on this beautiful blue planet with full of people, connecting to each other is an art. In my view each person forms four rings in his life around him.

1.Professional Ring -which is outermost ring and normally person allows people whom he gets connected in office, business etc...

2.Social Ring: Second outer ring and connects to people whom they socialize with, for example a team in organization or sport

3.Family Ring: Second Inner ring, where a person gets connected through family connections or establishes through family friendship.

4.Personnel Ring: Inner most ring...allowed to close people, whom they can share secrets and limited to people whom they trust fully.

These are also articulated in 8th habit by Stephen covey as EQ, SQ, IQ and PQ (Emotional, Social, Intelligent and Physical Quotients).

In any organization or Sports team, if a leader can connect through all these rings to inner most and establish peer to peer relations, then he can create a winning team.

It is also the ability of a leader in identifying the right talent and ability to give up the bottom performers will help in achieving the goals.

It is like "Sailing together a boat" ......or "swimming together in Nemo movie" or The way "Spartans fought in movie 300".
