Good Morning World: Darkness And Light

March 30, 2020 by thebengali

Some time ago, someone had asked me: “Do you write light stuff, like humour or positive anecdotes? Other than dark stuff?” Now it was a funny question for me because I rarely classify my writing. And it’s been many years since I have deliberately thought in terms of darkness or positivity, or right or wrong, or good or bad and such polarities. But the question reminded me of how different people may think, and also that for most, everything that […]

When one perceives a leader we tend to perceive in that leader all the traits that we ourselves desire to possess. As a consequence we interpret all actions and decisions of the leader from such a perspective laden with all such traits and ignore all other traits and in effect eventually we become blind to all faults and fallacies and see only the reflection of the leader we want to be in the person we follow. This gives us the […]

I, the Common Beast

June 30, 2016 by thebengali

Some time ago, I was reading an article on some great leader at some great company, who spoke about the two strategies to retain employees: provide them meaningful work and provide them with an environment where they collaborate with quality people. It was profound and genius and … bullshit. This is the kind of stuff kings, rulers, governments, religious soothsayers and leaders have been spewing for centuries to meet their ultimate goal: tame enough of the human spirit in volumes […]
