When you become a manager

Phase1: I was listening to an argument between my sister and her daughter. It felt very familiar. Yeah, that was almost the same kind of argument that my sister had with our mom when she was at this age. I am sure she wouldn’t have forgotten it too but still she has to be on the other side now. The reason is very simple. Now she understand things in a broader sense. There are things that we cannot understand when we are kids. The whole perception changes as we grow. Of course, we do drop a few but then we add a few and somehow we make sure that it goes on. The Golden rule “Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them.” is not going to be applicable everywhere.


+Phase 2: It is a misery when you want to vote and elect a good leader and find none in that caliber. The greater misery is when the one who you believed and voted becomes just another ordinary politician. Let us ignore the real bad politicians. Can the rest do what they promise? They can’t. It is quite understandable and should be fine. The theoretical and practical parts are not always easy to match and mostly the practicality wins. The system can influence the decisions and typically they tend to be dynamic and required at that moment. There are places where compromising is required to achieve a better result. You will start hating the elected, if you fail to see the bigger picture.


+Phase3: The older you get the more you trust God, at least secretly, even if you are an atheist. When the past becomes lengthier than the future you can see, you tend to lose your confidence. Your job is not yet done. All your proven methods tend to fail. You wish for miracles. Is surrendering to God the only option? You can either surrender or you can fight. There is a way if you wish to fight. Stay at now and bury the past as much as possible. With a lighter past, you can carry more future. Share your vision with the younger ones to let it not die. That is the trick of science. So will you win the battle in this way? That is up to God, I guess!

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same. If you look ...
