Human Being -Just Like you

It’s often said by folks that reading books is boring. Statement is true as long as you don’t find a book which intersects with your interest or rather your soul. After reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand I was in a dilemma that can I get my hands on a different book that match the gold standard set by Unbroken. Roughly after 18 months I found the answer.  Adam Makos has done excellent research when he penned down all the facts, figures and esprit de corps for this 400 page masterpiece. It’s story of two fighter pilots born miles away from each other. They never thought they will meet but their destinies collided in the most unusual places. Franz Stigler a ace German fighter pilot saw a lot of up’ and downs and fought for his country. Similarly Charlie Brown a 20 year old boy never expected that what will happen when his plan was shot badly by eight enemy fighters. I will say if it was not been for the Hand of God by Franz , Charlie wouldn’t have survived..  Fr...

After buying Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson  in 2013 I started reading it in 2016. That’s a long gap! Just like “The imitation Game by Andrew Hodges” it’s a fantastic book.   While reading I revisited lots of topics from my high-school like entropy, Avogadro number, Quantum physics, nuclear fission/fusion to name a few and off- course love! So I will start about the things I realized reading 550 pages blue paperback:- I have Sky-Blue color Paperback! Everyone struggles Being the synonym of excellence Einstein struggled a lot in his initial days. From the inception he was the " Square peg in a round hole”. Often misunderstood by lot of people even after doing fantastic job in research he worked as a clerk in Swiss patent office. He was not very happy as he knew he was overqualified for the job and kept doing it for some time to pay his bills. He struggled to explain “theory of relativity” to lot of people and critics took it as a fluke f...

I must confess that I recently started watching game of thrones, and was blown away by it. As my friend “ American Obama ” puts it “Game of Thrones is competing in league of its own”.   During  five seasons I was impressed by one character Daenerys Targaryen popularly known as “Khaleesi”. Having studied management I was curious on sharing my thoughts on “What Khaleesi teaches us about Management” Personal Branding Khaleesi also known as dragon mother is known across 7 kingdoms for owning Dragons. Dragons are the most powerful weapons in the entire series though no one has seen them in action for long time.Dragons are her core competency, no one else owns them.  Khaleesi positions herself as a compassionate yet stern leader who does not entertain cock and bull story.   She brings and end to slavery in Slaver's Bay commands, respect command of Dothrak and leads the dragon too. The way Khaleesi emerges from a timid girl who is married to “Khal Dr...

I usually don’t ponder over past but 2015 was special. I made some good friends, went to some new places and felt emotions which I never felt before. So I will start with my experience in 2015.  Joy and Sorrow at the Land of Martyrs !! I started the year on a high note. I was working for a very prestigious organization at a very senior level. It paid me handsomely, gave me a good social stature and exposed me to a wide array of responsibilities. I had an extremely close view of how judiciary works in India and what it takes to keep the system ticking. I was happy at the growth I was making, the new people I met and exposure I took. Then on one fine day due to unfortunate circumstances I was forced to leave that position very blatantly and I was humiliated. It was not the end of the world though but I was not expecting to be jolted so quickly. It shattered the comfort zone I was slowly surrounding myself with and once again the hustle started.    Va...
