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!

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

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.

December Rain - 4

I can query a bit, question a little more, but I don't go any further. I stay with no question at a point where I know I can attempt an inch deeper but I stop there to make myself comfortable and letting all that needs to be questioned and answered be God. Why do people get old, struggle to live and yet no courage to die? Even the divine Soul trembled and cried on the cross in spite of knowing that He would get the eternal of it. Such is the greatness of addiction to this life, the feel of everyday's incompleteness and the longing for the tomorrow. Of course, the breathing of an old man may take a bunch of viruses from the air and save few kids from getting infected. I mean, there is a reason for everything.  For me, the "cigarette smoking causes cancer" shown before the movie is one of the most annoying advertisements - it is ugly. If anything needs to be fixed properly, it has be to dealt at the root. How about stop making cigarettes and have a law to give dea...
