How life has changed...
"Statue", wish we could just say it and things would have never changed. This one is for all you beautiful people out there...........
Here i am sitting in my office @ night......
Thinking hard about life
How it changed from a maverick college life to strict professional life.
How Anil's bhaiya's Vada-pav and Chai changed to a Club Sandwich and Juice
But then why there is less hunger ??
How tiny pocket money changed to monthly paychecks
but then why it gives less happiness ??
How a few denim jeans changed to a new branded wardrobe full of trousers
but then why it feels there are less people to wear ??
Here i am sitting in my office @ night......
Thinking hard about life
How it changed....
How a travel by auto/car/bus has changed into a comfortable journey by car
but then why there are less places to go ??
How a coffee at coffee stop changed to a Barista
but then why it feels like shop is far away ??
How a limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package
but then why there are less calls & more messages ??
Here i am sitting in my office @ night......
Thinking hard about life
How it changed.....
How a general class journey changed to Flight journey
But then why there are less vacations for enjoyment ??
How a pic in which everyone wanted to fit in has changed into a camera clicking nature's beauty but then why don't we admire it ??
How a small bunch of friends changed to office mates
But then why we always feel lonely and miss college frnz ??
Here i am sitting in my office @ night......
Thinking hard about life
How it changed from a maverick college life to strict professional life.

Management Redefined
There was this interesting observation which I made while reading a book on management during my MBA. The book started with defining management as an art of getting work done through others. If such is the case then everyone would keep on passing the work to the next employee in the hierarchy and even at the lowest level, people would look for someone to get the work done. And the buck stops nowhere. In this process, I don't see the work getting done at any level whatsoever. Hence, a rubbish definition.
A revised definition by me: Management is the art of fooling others
This is how i developed this definition....
In further chapters i came across a theory given by Douglas McGregor (Theory X) who say management assumes employees are inherently lazy and will avoid work if they can. Therefore it is pretty obvious that no one would like to work for others unless and until you fool him around by offering impressive compensation, career plans, perks, etc. Therefore what comes out is this “Management is the art of making fool of others”.
