NAIL IN THE FENCE- A CONTRIBUTION - WISHES FOR NEW YEAR

NAIL IN THE FENCE
Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence. (Most importantly the last sentence)
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His Father gave him a bag of nails
and told him that every time he lost his
temper, he must hammer a nail into the back
of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his
anger, the number of nails hammered daily
gradually dwindled down. He discovered
it was easier to hold his temper than to
drive those nails into the fence.


Finally the ! day came when the boy didn't
lose his temper at all. He told his father
about it and the father suggested that the
boy now pull out one nail for each day that he
was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally
able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence He said, "You
have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be
The same. When you say things in anger,
they leave a scar just like this one. You can put
a knife in a man and draw it out.

It won't matter how many times you say "I'm sorry", the wound is still there.
 A verbal Wound is as bad as a physical one.
Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They
make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share words of praise
and they always want to open their hearts to us."

. Show your friends how much you care.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if
it mean s sending it back to the person who
sent it to you. If it comes back to you,
then you'll know you have a circle of friends.
YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONOURED!
Now send this to every friend you have!!

And to your family



Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole in your heart.

RAJNITI- A FILM INSPIRED BY MAHABHARAT

Last weekend I watched Rajniti the film.

I like Prakash Jha's way of story telling reason being , it does not bore you, script moves fast , action is real and nice.

this is a movie also on a political theme - largely on a northern india's political scenario is visible but lot of inspiration from Mahabharat, though would have like Krishna aka Nana Patekar's larger role compared to Duryodhana aka Manoj Bajpayee's role .

this is a dream role for someone like Ranbir Kapoor , one who is less than five films old in the industry couldnt have asked for more to establish one's credentials as star actor .

if you catch the theme early , next scene is expected and the whole film falls in place by the interval.yes, it has shades of God father and great tamasha of reality of politics in it.

I would surely recommend to watch .

go and enjoy the good cinema.

Summer in Ahmedabad

Ahha, I am back , though after a while, but was busy in resettling myself back in to ahmedabad, in to my new job role and have been travelling quite extensively to parts of northindia.

though it cannot be an excuse for not writing and expressing myself.

it is scorching summer in ahmedabad, mercury touching 47 degress celsius is just too much to jhelo , neverthless this will also pass .

this is very quick way of feeling myself back to blogging, would come back with more very soon.

Many Congratulations to Sachin and my thoughts on leadership

Today, the most celebrated cricketer of india , the living legend Sachin tendulkar completes 20 years in international cricket , Many congratulations to him for achieving this marvellous feat. The only second cricketer in world to do so after Great Sir Gary Sobers. Wonderful Achievement but few questions .....?????

1. Sachin has scored 45 centuries in ODIs for India and India have won 32 matches out of that , what a fantastic record,you will say but pl read on .............

Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasurya have scored 28 centuries for their respective countries and their teams have won 24 times , impressive you will agree,

Desmond Haynes (trust you remember him ) have scored 20 centuries and his team has won 18 times , very impressive again you will say ...

Our dear destiny's child Sourav Ganguly has scored 22 centuries in his controversial career and India has won 18 times , poor Sourav , summarily given marching orders from oneday and test teams for faults only known to bunch of jokers........but pl read on...

what I call playing for team, playing for country is Mr Adam Gilchrist , 16 centuries in international cricket and Australia have won all 16 matches, staggering is I would say .

I am not wanting to get in to debate of Sachin's greatness here, he is without doubt the best cricketer India ever produced , but facts speaks for themselves and the debate will go on.

The greatness is not in achieving laurels for self while you play a team game, but in ensuring your greatness helps team in winning , winning is everything ofcourse yes, but while the team wins it is a sign of great leader.

This example can aptly be used in our corporate world, in my career I have seen fantastic individuals but average leaders , hence they have grown very fast as an individual but their teams have failed miserably .

The ability to put team ahead of self , able to think outside the box and having an ability to visulise things for people and taking them through is absolutely a skill which is rare .

the first cut of thoughts,chalo having to go and meet someone, will be back with more .
