An ion generator to keep us safe, from Coronavirus and unhealthy air.

Many readers ask, 'How can one keep safe in this atmosphere?' I am not an expert, but I have friends who are, so here is what my research revealed. The best way to reduce a fatality is to prevent infection. Since infection takes place where the virus is present, there are few precautions one can take to limit exposure to the virus. Avoid environments where groups of people particularly strangers converge, like places of worship, entertainment, study, play, etc. Avoid environm

Saving democracy and JNU

6This article was mailed to readers on February 20th 2016 JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University), is one of the most prominent universities of India. It has been in the news for a long time due to everything except academics. JNU claims it is a leading university. For the enormous resources lavished on setting up and maintaining JNU critics point out, it has precious little positive outcomes to show for it. JNU has however distinguished itself by becoming a breeding centre for an

Why do I write and blog?

A friend asked me, "Why do you write?" A good question, because I never really thought about it. This is human nature at work. We always act on instinct and then analyse later on. I suppose its 'later on' time now. Well, why do I write and speak? With ups and downs, my life has been like a roller coaster ride. I am grateful, that my life been made richer, more interesting and better because of the contribution of many people, some still living and many more of those who pre

The Boss is always right

It was in 1502 C.E. that the egotistic mayor of Florence (Italy), Piero Soderini was under great pressure. He had appointed a novice to work on a giant piece of beautiful marble to make a sculpture under his guidance. Typical of many bosses Soderini had overestimated his own capabilities and by drilling a big hole in the middle of the block of marble, Soderini and the novice had ruined it. Soderini had to find a solution, and finally commissioned Michelangelo to do a sculptu

Want to become World-Class?

Many people express a desire to be world-class . Delve a bit deeper and one can discover good intentions and a lot of rhetoric. My own experience might be helpful. What is World Class? Means an organisation or entity that delivers products and services superior to or equal to the best in its field of activity in the world. In 1985 the directors of purchase and quality of Bendix Corporation, a leading American company at that time, visited our manufacturing facilities. Impress

We know everything about you

We know what you are, what you did, and also what you will do Psychometrics, a data-driven sub-branch of psychology. We are all competing with one another, as individuals, groups, organisations and nations. If one can get hold of information and analyse it correctly, it can be used to deadly effect to gain advantage over competitors and enemies. Those who have this capability, will possess great strategic leverage. This capability or weapon is 'Psychometrics'. Psychometrics,

Kill the mentor

In an effort to progress and succeed, we humans constantly seek to acquire information and knowledge . There is however a great gap between theory and reality and then there are nagging doubts about what could be relevant and how best to apply that knowledge. Experience is a great but slow and expensive teacher. Probably its greatest drawback is it rarely helps the experiencer. However if the experience is well articulated and shared, it can help others to achieve success a

Creativity, Innovation and Solving Problems

Where /How do you get your ideas? People often ask me, "Where /How do you get your ideas? They do not want to know my sources, or the basis, as much as they are curious about how my mind, imagination and creative instincts work to come up with thoughts, concepts and solutions. I never thought about this before. The simple answer was, 'I don't know'. But I felt compelled to discover the answer for myself. Our mind functions in fascinating and abstract ways and thus creativity

Not saying something

Effective Communication and Conversation is not only about speaking and getting through. It also involves winning people to our point of view. This makes it necessary not to say everything we want to but to leave unsaid what could cause offence, and alienate people. Somethings should also be left unsaid because it may distract us from our goals and objectives.

Style is not substance

Rahul Gandhi the president of the Indian National Congress party led his party to another humiliating election defeat. What are the management and life lessons one can learn. Rahul belongs to the Nehru -Gandhi political dynasty. Like many other scions of dynasties he got the job of president of the 134 year old political party without possessing any political experience, leadership skills, and lacking a vision for both the country and the party he wants to lead. However with

Learning to Learn

One of the greatest challenges parents face, is 'How best can we bring up our children to survive, succeed, and be happy?' The most widely held idea is to give children a formal mass education preferably using the medium of the English language. There are 3 types of people. Some people watch things happen, some make things happen and those who wonder what happened. The vast majority of the output of our mass education system produces people who realise just a tiny portion of

Alone or Lonely?

There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely. Its only when we are alone that we are really free. Yet most of us hate to be alone, even afraid to be alone. When alone what we find about ourselves is not nice, and often unworthy of our own respect. We see a deep abyss. So we try to fill this abyss with other people and possessions, intoxications and indulgences, anything and everything that will stop us being alone with ourselves. Some of us can be in a crow

Don't be afraid of enemies

Everyone is looking for something in the other, and like the Musk Deer we will run here and there. Relentlessly across our world we will travel, eating, working, fighting, mating, praying, searching for the unattainable. We will leave this world just as we came into it, alone. During this journey we constantly make and break relationships sometimes by design and sometimes by chance. We humans are the most advanced and intelligent primates. We often use cunning and sophistica
