organisation as a structure versus individual autonomous entities

this piece of thought isnt fully original,it has been inspired by some reyading which no longer remember
In the globalised world with so much organised functions,one takes for granted the power of an institution.Its assuemd that the functioning of an institution or fulfillment of a mission cant be accomplished without organisation.The latest technological developments have only contributed in making it so permeable that some take this as the cause of globalisation.
But still if we try to asses objectively the potnetial of two seperate constructs,organizational framework and autonomous individual entities,i might be hard to choose which one is the efficient structure in present times.Colonialism and freedom struggle,industrilization and nationalism have proven the success of organisational structures.But the rebuilding after the war has all proven the value of individual autonomy and macrostructure ,as Manohar once read it from some book.The architecture of modern times also demonstrate the same.Rigid structures seem to collapse fast atleast in developed world.But in China which probably is making the first of the few steps we still see the success of organised life.

What i gather from The White Tiger

Role of religion and Gods in reducing the crime in a India,where distribution of wealth is the most uneven.Whole of Africa struggle to understand how to reduce crime,increased policing leads to incrreased crime,but here in India where the perpetuators of the country knitted a wellthought web of gods and sins to curtail god.Rationalizing psychology in India might have a positive effect of creating an oppurtunity for increased productivity.But the risk of increased crime is high.A man who finds things unjust attributes it to god,if we snatch it away from him,his ven is going to be on the so-called innocent people in society,so-called since i am not very sure if they are.So in a way we have to asses if we want to break this conditioning completely to enter the new era.

Expressions that impressed me.
Either or face of a politician,so true but too sarcastic.

somethings i would have liked to do if i didnt do what i did

Being a preacher or a monk,man i know i would be a very succesful one at it.The thing i like the most about that is that it gives amazing perspective to life.
Being a writer,Anthropologist,Historian.I think the kind of impact one can cause is
A singer and a composer
A painter
A radical
A boozer
All of them authentic ,less cultured and more natural.





Taboo thought
At school sometimes i thougt how nice the profession where one is paid for. ....

Further i think today about wealth.Was Rabindranath Tagore richer than Ambani.Probably people might point out a flaw in comparision saying i make the most silly mistake of comparing Apple to Orange.In this view dot know even if all the wealth of Ambani can build good schools,nice cities with gardens, reduce crime against meek, fight opressor by creating cadres, create visionaries like Amartya Sen and Shashi Taroor.Create Shantiniketan where Indira Gandhi, Satyajit Ray were schooled.I am not sure lord what i want,wat i want to become.All i know is that i should have a balanced life which has aspects of everything.Time to wake up and pen a thought,chat with ur Guru and family, be in awe of the cosmic father, still make a nice livelihood by excelling in them and cooking with your family in the evening and guidig ur childen to bed.I dont love a life devored of social activism some struggle for rights of the week.Women liberation, emancipatiory education, fullfilled life

People i adore

Wow man,isnt it something that changes faster than me.
People call me eccentric sometimes,but i think i am more eccentric than they think i am.
Some day when i was young and more cultured in thinking i thougt succesful people are ones who fly,are ones who drive fast cars,who can afford more than me,have acquired more wealth than i thought i could or i did.
With time wealth trancended to richness,i saw wealthy seemed to struggle with some things as being blessed with an ability to think,which i was again conditioned to think was

Succesful are ones who come back when the chips are down,who push


Now i see tham as the ons who have the maximum influence on the life of civilization.Artists arent they the ones who are the poised gazers looking and laughing at the grazers.
I simply adore people who can write precisly what they feel.

I still think if there is gonna be change in my impressions,i am sure there is ging to be.A guy driven by

Some nice places i indulge in

some times i frequent these place less than i think i must,but still
i want to post it to give an impression of being an intellectual freak,i gues there is some fuc***g thrill in that,

Leadership

Leadership is an art to believe in the ability to surmount the unsormountable,
An art to indulge in possibility detaching from the consequences,
An art to visualize not to dream,
An to feel the pulse of things not to ged overwawed by them,
An art to discern and distinguish,
An art to cope with defeat an failure,
An art to push people just so hard that the like the touch and not causea bruise,
An uncanny ability to defy the cliches
An ability to enjoy the fight and progress and not be deflated relishing the state
Its a state of mind a color of thought,each one of us has all the four ingredients in us.
Visionary,Leader,Sustainer,and follower.
How is this acquired,lineage or acquired or genetic or samskara.
Some schools promise to create the leaders of the millinieum.But all looked to be washed by the social current.If we look at the number of people coming from top institues still letting things happen like the mortage i doubt if all are truly.But it still takes some ability to do so.

Eternal Victory

[Life without having to cope with failure]
I wonder if there ever is a
place where skies are always blue
land where sun is never defeated by clouds
state where people are unaware of defeat
I reconcile to say may be bliss exists in ignorance

[Evading failure]
Life like weather,as my friend once told me ,can get real boring without defeats.The victory in life is to cope with defeats and learn from mistakes.

[what one learns from failure]
When people falter,some think they fail while some find a new vigor.
Isn't it amazing that we all react so diffrently to same things.Also we react diffrently to
same things at diffrent instances.Some find a teacher in failure,as to teach them the new direction they need to take,and go on and put up a fight. You live and play for yourself.
Is there a way to steel oneself from the adverse effects of failure or the aftermath of the storm.
I guess a through understanding of oneself helps a bit in this regard.I guess dynamism is the essence in the understanding.Questiioning is the key.You might do the same set of things again and fail once but succede the next time around.Is there a change in the state of mind when you approach the act.

Schooling in Vernacular

I beleive that schooling in vernacular is a boon granted to very few indians, but we all can change the vernacular for our future generation.This would be a kind of sin as we will subject them to our descision today but wouldnt we be just in helping them not being lost like us.Making it easy for them to choose the literature,music and medium of authentic expression as early aspossible.

Native language.Is this the language one is schooled in or the one in which one needs to be schooled in.How important is a language for expression.Do we all call ourselves civilized because we think we can speak.Did we also negotiate when we didn't speak.In one view i guess we all will be justified to dismiss language as trivial sh**.I guess, this is justified as far as our understanding of language is limited to the medium of expression.When we start to extend the scope of language as a modus of interaction,language as a source of information,language as a refridgrator of thoughts i guess we all agree that it merits more than a glance which makes it feel ignored.
On the other hand blowing it beyond requirement has its own fallacies.The art in this regard, as in many aspects of life,is to find a balance.

An art of living in Present

Some times he likes to blabber and sometimes he likes to listen.
Othertimes he's as restless as me, leaving me to wonder if he is me.
We have grown so together that seldom do i draw lines between us.
I still havent known how he and me should be.

i slowly try to understand how i should be,
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=nothing+else+matters&emb=0&aq=0&oq=nothing+#
aren't these guys gods who knew it all.

Did they learn it by reading many books or by listening to many wise sayings about how to live.How lucid and effective is their method of propagation of what to care for and what not to.How well did they maneuver and were moulded.I always wonder if i know anything about this at all.To live in the present and ideate on the SupremeConsciousness was what i am cultured to do.I guess i do and sometimes am also convinced that its but natural. Soometimes i start from scratch.Why can't i be blessed with ignorance.I guess i know why i am not blessed.Because i dont want to be lessed.I like to think.Rather i like to think that i think.I should somehow find a way out.Probably this is a great deterrent not to live in the present as my mental occupation is either of present or of past.
I guess, i am affected too much by the people who surround me. have thought me to be be consequential.I need to

An attempt to tread beyond ME

Today is the day i feel intense urge to give vent to some thoughts.I write to puke rather than to construct an image or paint a picture of my state of mind.I make a promise to myself that i will post this blog,unlike previous three which still have not been posted.I am damn sure at the end of first draft there will hundreds of recognisable syntactic stuff for which my Highschool grammer teacher would have reprimanded me and a few more unrecognisable ones which i didnt figure out her class.She was a lovely lady but i never understood why she kind of always wanted me to be better in composition.She kind of treated me kin of challenged on this aspect.

At this point in time in my life i see writing as a liberating experience.A good writing as a pleasurable one.A great piece of it combined with rigor in thought as intellectual ecstacy and a creative one as simply SAMADHI(i i will define a lot of terms my mama taught me in many pieces).One piece of advice,the first of the free ones that start to flow,regarding steering your way through the forest of writers and writing is that there are always going to be some wanna be writers(like me) who just want to mimick some traits of people from the above class to derive from a broad spectrum of things ranging from intellectual satisfaction to self glorification.Be doubly sure to know where you want to place this writer of the writing you read then.

We all are destined to be far off from reality and blessed to be engrossed in perceptions.A perception of security or insecurity,a perception of safety or denger,a perception of pleasure or melancholy and so on.Isnt it that these perceptions makes our life or even most part of our life.Is there an art to validate these perception or even distinguish it from reality.Are there people who derive sense of being safe when pushed to a dangerous situation.Sorry folks at this momnet of life i enjoy phrasing questions.I want to listen to people about this.I will complet it when i get enough thougths.

When i find the real matter , i promise i will clean up the syntactic stuff.
