I am on a novel...."india unbound". However i have read only around 150 pages but i liked it too much to be left unread even if my exams are close. Some quotes given in it are so matched with my view of thinking that i cannt resist it. One in it says..."the people are happy when the king is far". It amuses me so much coz i relate it to my childhood days...Whenever my dad was out, me and my bro ,sachin, had so much fun and were so happy that we wished, at the time of time of studies, he were not in the house. Off course his absence now feels somewhat odd but that was the case when i was a child.
But the main topic it addresses ,i think, is somewhat else. There is a para explaining the view. It says...' in any institution, the superiors should always be there to help their juniors to teach the different situations that they are going to face and how to tackle the problems. They should explain them the traditons and the environment....but they sholuldn't impose their thoughts on them. They shouldnt try rigorously to take control over them coz this attitude leads to low creativity and less efficiency.' This is true for a family or a school or at any other institute...
I have always shared this view and totaly agree with this. A simple example relating this can be taken from day to day life. Whenever we face any problem, we simply do better when there is no one to watch and we dont think anything about the result...so one should try and try but never hamper his attempt by the thought a negative result or overwhelm himself by being overconfident.
DONT DREAM FOR OTHERS, IT WILL LEAD TO OVER-EXPECTATIONS AND FRUSTRATION....DREAM FOR YOURSELF, IT WILL TAKE YOU GREAT HEIGHTS.....
Off to my novel now....
hey it was nice......but u missed out the truth and practicality the book discusses...........and more importantly the euphemism used tym and again in the book.....like calling ambanis bribing the then ministers as their policy of friendly gestures......if u go to read the book once more u will feel it was a sweet coated poision commenting on all big-wigs of India.....-Pratyush
ReplyDeleteI cant really comment on the criticism in it about the "big wigs" because I don't know their history but the book is great in the way it mixes facts and fantasies. I feel that if any other author would have provided so many facts he would have made the book boring. it may have a biased view at times but then even history text books are not free from it always....ain't this true?
ReplyDeletei agree sir to ur this th8 and ya the fact that if any other author would have provided so many facts he would have made the book boring....is the real truth.....
