Management gurus and their disciples, thinkers, strategists and business process re-engineers have been busy propelling the modern world into not only coping with, but also keeping in step with the rapid changes of an ever shrinking, increasingly competitive and exhaustingly demanding global market.
I am told that a goldfish cannot remember anything beyond a 3 minute time frame. One of my favorite pastimes is to sit and watch our goldfish swim around lazily and rising up only to gobble at the food before going back to their contented existence.
Their swimming around actually reminds me of chil
There are many areas to look at in communication: a message is communicated through visual, vocal and verbal means. From that, comes the importance of body language, how we present ourselves, and so on. The visual and vocal elements are indeed very important to effective communication, but we will
The arbiter of knowledge and skills, the teacher, is a revered figure around the world. In India, the teacher is known as the guru, the wise one who can be trusted to lead the knowledge-blind and shine the light of competence and skills in the darkness of ignorance and incompetence.

1. There are no rules.
Structures, how-to's, dogma, principles...all disciplines and theories should be used to support your freedom and independent thinking. Curiosity is exponentially more powerful than playing by the rules.
2. Say thank you.
Gratitude is one of the most creative and noble forc
Have you ever wondered how certain couples were able to stay together for many years? What are they doing right? What are the factors that contribute to the success of healthy, long term relationships? There are a few fundamental components that will improve your chances of having a successful relat
I stay in the coastal city of Chennai and one of my favorite pastimes is to explore the coastline that borders one side of the city.
Starting from the crowded marina and Eliot’s Beach to the less crowded and secluded ones that dot the East Coast Road (or ECR as it is called), I have always found
"Depression was, indeed, the hand of a friend trying to press me down to the ground on which it was safe to stand--the ground of my own truth, my own nature with its complex mix of limits and gifts, liabilities and assets, darkness and light." Parker Palmer

Many a time we are swept by that overwhelming feeling to bare all. Not to be mistaken with confession which is done after ensuring that there is nothing further to lose on account of reputation. I am referring to pure tear jerker stuff. Born out of righteous indignation. Or plain stupidity. The form
One mile south of Georgia O'Keefe's beloved Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, thirteen miles down a cliff-hugging dirt road in the heart of Chama Canyon, you will find Christ In The Desert. The Benedictine Monastery is cloister to about twenty monks. I'd fantasized about retreating to the remote monastery
Think Money And Grow Rich! byAnn Ronnan Ph.D.
The way you think and the beliefs you hold are reflected in how successful you are (success defined as YOU would like it!) and how much money comes into your life.
These are not new ideas. In 1937, in the midst of the Great Depression, Napoleon H...
Real money: cash, facts and entrepreneuring byDanielle LaPorte
There’s a great scene in Erin Brokovich where hot biker guy asks Brokovich (played by Julia Roberts and her push-up bra) for her phone number. “You want my number?” she snaps. “How about 3? That’s the number of kids I’ve got. And how abou...
Look At Me! I Am Rich! byVarsha Naran
Wouldn’t it be great if when you are born, someone hands you a book of guidelines, titled “Life Guide” to show you how to live your life? Instead, we stumble, fumble and stutter our way through our lives toward our ultimate demise.
If you ar...
The Credit Crunch: Why it happened? byPeter A. Hunter
We have all been witness to some pretty incredible events over the last couple of months that appear to have generated a new phrase in our language, “the credit crunch”.

Depression Can Be Fun! byRajarshi Dutta
Depression can be fun. You just sit around thinking that you are depressed. You don't know why. You don't even bother to find out why. Just the fact that you realize you are depressed kind of makes you happy. And this happiness adds to the feeling of...
Kettle stealing! byPeter A. Hunter
Many years ago, in the 15th and 16th centuries there was a part of Great Britain that was as lawless as it gets.
This was the region in the North of England/South of Scotland which is now called The Borders.
This was good cattle country but it fe...
Classic Bollywood: GHAR - Four Fab Songs byAbhijit bhaduri
Ghar is what the Gulzar-RD Burman-Kishore magic is all about. I have always wondered whether this is a film one should watch because it shows the transition of Rekha as an actress or just listen to the music. I think I'll vote for the music.

How To Survive The Recession, Then Fail The Recovery byPeter A. Hunter
Is this BA management completely misreading the way that the workforce feel about the company they work for? Or is this a cynical manoeuvre by management to deflect the blame for the failure of the company?
How to Find Peace in 2010 byMita Bhan
No year is without challenges. And no year is a cakewalk. All of us can remember some years in our life which were life changing. And some which just passed by. 2010 is a powerful year in many ways for a lot of us. It may provide us with grim moments and yet at the other hand may usher in such joy and peace into our lives. Let’s take a look at what the Tarot cards have to say for all 12 Zodiac signs on the challenges and joys of the year ahead.
What shall be my resolves for this year? byPK
The festive season of Christmas is upon us. As they say we shall all be goaded to unwrap our personas and let the cheerful, forgiving, outgoing and loving side of us, come out in the open. The western media has done such a good job at hyping this period that even slothful individuals do rake up enough energy to unglue their backsides and stand up to be counted.

How To Get People To Do What You Want- Without Telling Them What To Do byPeter A. Hunter
The workforce are accustomed to management setting unachievable targets and management are accustomed to the workforce failing to achieve their targets, never once doubting that the failure is the fault of the workforce and not the fault of management for setting the target in the first place.

"God Is Whatever You Want It To Be" byGuest Tickler
Who is God’s God?
Andre: It is a circular reference .... well for me there is no proven God. So if I can't prove the first one I can't even begin to theorize further. But interestingly enough I have observed too that most things in life follow a cycle including animals, plants, the planets etc. This makes me think that existence must be cyclical too. It is only human beings who see everything to have a beginning and an end; maybe we are finite-focused and not able to understand anything else ?
