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.

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
