WHY ANNA HAZARE & BABA RAMDEV MOVEMENTS

The Country has in the last few months seen huge public supported movements under the stewardship of Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev. Irrespective of the political point of view there does exist a Social point of view. A) The People of the country have now started raising strong voice against issues of public importance like Corruption ; Transparency in Governance ; accountability and so on and so forth. B) The People in Power must realize that they are accountable for their jobs and now the citizens of this country will not take things in their stride any more. C) Promises and assurances are not enough we now need immediate solution to the problem.

The doyen of classical sangeet is no more. I recall he once said that to become a great musician you need three things. 1. Great Teacher, 2. Great Practise and 3. Great Luck. How true for every sphere.

OSHO SAYS

There is no failure in life. It all depends how you take things. If you are desiring too much…….. then there is frustration and failure. But if you are perfectly happy with whatever you are, life is a moment to moment victory.

The Professional - A great book I read

Subroto Bagchi an excellent author whom I read recently "Every professional has some explicit and some implicit code of conduct and understanding it is the boundary that separates a professionally qualified person, or a skilled individual, from a professional. The number one requirement for professional is to understand integrity and to practice it. Without that, a professionally qualified individual is a danger to the society."
