This is an extract from an article that I got to read at the time I actually wanted.... AND I noe GOD made it act as a medium to impart the wisdom to me....

" INTELLIGENCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET FREEDOM FROM ANYTHING THAT BOTHERS YOU. IF YOU ARE SWEATING ABOUT THE SMALL STUFF, THEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE. BE VERY CLEAR THAT ALL MISERIES ARISE BECAUSE OF SELF CONTRADICTIONS. YOU YOURSELF ARE NOT FULLY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND SO YOU ARE UNABLE TO DO IT. FOR THAT CLARITY TO HAPPEN YOU NEED TO NUTURE YOUR OWN INTELLIGENCE.

WHEN INTELLIGENCE SURFACES SELF CONTRADICTIONS WILL DISAPPEAR AND YOU WILL START BECOMING INTEGRATED. WHEN YOU START BECOMING INTEGRATED YOUR INTELLIGENCE WILL FURTHER GROW. THIS IS THE CYCLE YOU NEED TO GET INTO. THIS IS THE CYCLE THAT CAN CLEAR YOUR WORRIES ALSO. UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN A LOT OF POWER TO YOUR WORRIES BY SIMPLY TALKING ABOUT THEM MORE AND MORE."

Wat ya thinkin ???? why in CAPS.... for the impact I guess...

I wanna write a Book

I want to write a book. I am quite determined about it even if it is only for myself or may be my friends who will have no choice but go through it. But as I am on a self assessment spree, I decide to judge myself on whether I have it in me based on the traits or book content from the current breed of writers. It will also help me decide the subject that I can choose for my first book. See I have already started workin on it…. I mean you need a story to write a book…. you can direct a film sans a story but definitely not write a Book sans one… or can you??????

To start with I am NOT an MBA. So I loose out on writing a book drawn from my own experiences from the short stint away from home. What fun we had , the nostalgia, the ambiguity, and I – DON’T – KNOW- WHAT – ALL.
One more very important thing I AM INTELLIGENT ( *as in jus check out ma report card ) so I cant even SHOW OFF how I just scraped through. The other advantage that I have lost out on is storyline for sequel - the transition phase after ma first step into the really BIG BAD CORPORATE world.

No string of relationships to fall back on that could provide me with adequate “masala” or may be the required “ complexity” dimension to my story…..
Not lead a life interesting enough to discuss phases where there was a crosslane and I had to choose a road blah blah blah…………..
Never worked in an Industry exciting enough to trash it in a book yaa…..
Reminiscence……… I am not old enough…..

Harry Potter series has influenced me a lot .......so creatin another world altogther..... well this idea gets restricted as well... what has happened to my 'flight of imagination'.... flew away to no man's land wherever it exists.....

subah ki 7.40 ki local.... which I catch every morning to reach work..... ummm.... there are interesting characters & situations facin me but ...... yaa somthin can be drawn in frm there....

What do I do? I don’t even know why I want to write a book? What genre? I just hope I find out and I find out soon.

The Art & Science of Leadership

Leadership – Effective leadership…..How to be a good leader??? What is a leader without his/her followers?? Can this quality be developed or is there something called “born leader”????? I have answers… I assume I know the key which I am in process of practicing…..I believe people need success stories of REAL people before they believe you…. you need to give them examples…..or you can even choose to LEAD by examples. I chose to lead by example… but if I share it after I am myself a success story.. it would be too late…. Isn’t it ?? Hence I thought it would be better if I make people know certain things from my ongoing experiences and in turn learn from them.. thru their comments.

You need to know some background beforehand right. So here’s the brief - I am heading a Department. I am just 24 … and there are people in my organization…. in fact in my department with more than this number of experience…..I head them… I am supposed to lead them… I am their leader by virtue of my position… Authority flows from my position… I wanted to be a leader…. I had no time for self assessment…. There was no meaning of any self assessment….. I din’t know whether I can lead …. But somebody had known had believed…. I have got a chance why waste it…..

I am trying to inculcate few principles to do it…… You might not find flow at this stage…. Just let me randomly put it down…. Bear with me….

First thing you need to know is you need to grow to be a leader…. how can you grow??? When u help people under you grow??? Avoid stagnancy….. at all points of time have a definitive goal … add something innovative informative even if it is to their routine tasks … may be making it simpler without compromising on the quality of reporting…. So that they have extra time…and you help them learn some other person’s work as well….. have a vision to accomplish the goal….. and communicate the whole thing to them… so at all points of time they are part of the process……

Your team / department must look up to you…. you have to be knowledgeable…. Only qualification doesn’t help…. I am a Chartered Accountant…. Only this doesn’t help… I need to forever keep pace with the ever dynamic ever changing surroundings….. help them in finding solutions…. you have to be well read…… try and be some source of information to them….. share your knowledge with them to the extent possible…. Remove insecurity from your system so that you can remove it from theirs.

It is how you connect with people… respect people…. they should feel protected when they are working under you…. you have to be the ozone layer…. protect them from ultraviolet rays of sun in form of office politics etc., taking responsibility of their actions, maintaining balance…. these are very preliminary principles though …

Art of decision making and taking responsibility for your decisions… is one very important trait that you need to develop to be a leader….

To be continued.......
