If you are running a business, company or you are head of organisation then you should know how to effectively utilize the resources available. People working under you are resources or more than that. You can call them valuable asset which you have procured after conducting a selection procedure which you felt is suitable to shortlist people who are fit for your organisation. But why you are not able to meet the desired results which you always thought would be easier while selecting suitable candidate. Is your decision making is poor?

I am big movie fan and watching movies on a regular basis from past two decades. Over the years I have realized one thing that Bollywood has grown commercially. Producers are no more sufferers as they are aware about the business tactics to recover the money which they are investing in Bollywood cinema. If any of the producers is not aware then they have sufficient money to hire someone who is aware about the tactics. In modern world, Chankya can be hired and several such Chankya are ready to get hired after completing education from business school. Don’t think that I am student of philosophy or I am into lot of reading. Movie: Dil Dhadkne Do made me realize all this fact. After release it has stayed houseful for seventy two hours which ensured that all money is recovered. The movie has a funny and short story which Zoya Akhtar tried to stretch for two hours by utilizing the cinematography skill in really beautiful way. It is a sweet family story which you can watch for ...

Everybody in this world wants to win in their respective fields. There are few who want to win in the multiple fields. Competition is an addiction and the consequences of it leave high impact on the individuals. But you ever thought that your victory also affects the life of people around you. Your father will be proud if you succeed, your brother will look forward to you as an inspiration, and your mother shares the pride with her friends. Only those experiences the feeling of victory who know what is failure and what it takes to bounce back from it. If you are leader or manager or owner then you should be aware of the fact that victory can increase the confidence of your employees which in turn increases the efficiency. You have to share the victory with people who contributed in one way or the other. Make them feel that their contribution, however small it is, mattered allot. They are the stepping stone for your success. You are incomplete without them. It doesn’t matter that ...

I was going through few old articles about Siachen Glacier. It has a very fascinating story, about two nations who raced towards the peak in a fight of who will reach up first. Due to tactician and quick intelligence reports India managed to occupy the top. Two countries fighting the war in -50 degree Celsius temperature. It is good to read the fact but it is unimaginably difficult to live up there and fight a war which has no end or may be no end in the near future. Once, a VIP made a visit to Siachen Glacier accompanied with Indian Army Chief. It was a 7 minutes visit which was leaked out by few media persons. The VIP had very less interaction with the troops and it was a tick mark made by him on his list of visiting places. When he sat down in helicopter to make his way back, he asked the Army Chief, ‘General, don’t you think that it is waste of time, money and resources to occupy barren ice on such huge height?’ May be general did not prefer to answer his question or even the...

I am not doting of drinking coffee, but this evening I was feeling somnolent and one of my friends advocated having black coffee. Black coffee!!!! I was flabbergasted, why not milk coffee? He told me that black coffee is hard and if taken without sugar, it will vanish off my sleep. Not a bad idea was my idea. But I was naive, as I was not cognizant how to make even a simple coffee, neither he was sure about it. When you are not sure, then ask Google, and I did the same thing. I asked Google, and came to know it is the meekest thing which anyone can cook. Recipe: 1.        Take some water in a cup. 2.        Boil it callously. 3.        Take a cup or glass, or beer mug, whatever you fancy to guzzle awe-inspiring black coffee. 4.        Put coffee as per your tang into the cup. 5.        Put little hot water...

I got this opportunity to deliver a small talk on Indian Ballistic Missile Program in front of Spartan leaders. Obviously, it is an honor and privilege too but a challenge as I was completely unaware about this topic. The first impression was that it must be about India’s ballistic missile capability such as Agni series. As soon as I started my research, it was interesting to know that it is not about the ballistic missile but it is India’s indigenous program of anti-ballistic missile system. The first thought which crossed my mind after knowing this was ‘WOW’. It was something new for me, and sounded interesting. It is obvious that if a speaker feel interested about a topic then he can deliver it really well to the audience and when the audience is highly educated and intellect then the challenge becomes more difficult. India got independence in 1947 and soon we faced our new enemy Pakistan in 1948 in the beautiful landscape of Jammu and Kashmir. 1962 was the year of...

How to stay committed, this is the biggest question revolving in the heart and mind of the people who are finding it tough to be loyal to your partner. There can be two implications for the imbalanced loyalty. The first one is, you don’t love him  any more  and the other implication can be that you love him but you are getting tempted and deviating from him. In the first case, you should leave your guy but in the case, if your heart says that you love him and you can stay committed then you need following methods to overcome your temptation. 1.       Delete all the tempting contacts from your phone contact list. Yes, you have to do it, it is not because he will check your phone and you will be caught, by the way there are great chances of it but it will stop you to leave the path of love. 2.       Block the number of guys you are flirting around on social networking sites. 3.   ...
