India and Change Management

I have wondered for a long time now...
India is now changing.. Is this doubted ? Not really ?
Given India's state and the lethargy at which change was adopted, India has not been able to gain momentum to its change effort.
For the longest of times, I have wondered why and reached a conclusion - while it is the absence of the will of government; That is merely a reflection of the will and want of Indians.
Why else would a country of 120 crore, with nearly 50 % unable to get a decent 3 square meals a day, still not change ?
This should have created a revolution a loooong time ago.. except not here !!
And while change happens on the other fronts like infrastructure, business, the key change required is the mindset of people.
Innovations welcome for this task ! Any takers ?? Anyone ??

The LifeTime Offer

Vodafone India ₹ 499 LifeTime Offer Today, as I was having lunch, I received a call. The caller identified me by name. Then proceeded to explain she was calling to offer me a great ‘postpaid’ plan. From Vodafone. Why? I was already on a Vodafone pre paid. No Answer. But I figured. A few months earlier, I had figured that the bill being charged to me was too much for the services I was availing. So I did what a right minded Gujju would. Switched to pre-paid. Now mind you, I have been on post paid for over a decade before the switch. Back to the call.  She : I am suggestiing a Rs. 499/- “lifetime” plan which would include some 700 minutes of local talk time, 500 SMS and 2 GB of 3G data. Me (Thinking) : Now that is a pretty decent plan for someone with my kind of usage. My curiosity is piqued. Me : How long is “lifetime” Her (irritated voice) : lifetime means lifetime. Me : What if Vodafone shuts down this plan. Her : Kya Sir, aisa kabhi hota hai kya. Vodafone...

I am the One and Only !

I am the One and Only. Almost every revelation, discourse from any prophet, incarnate, divinty worth their name in salt have uttered thus or some variation. Bhagavad-Gita 12:06   Bhagavad-Gita 07:14 and many more in the Bhagavad-Gita, Bible and many such religious texts. And each time that happens, a new religion, sect etc. is formed, claiming to be followers of the only true one and the others to be false (MASSIVE FACEPALM). Achieving the EXACT opposite of the revelation. The 'One' is all pervasive, unmanifest ! Logically also it makes perfect sense, the case that there can be only one 'One', and well, that's exactly what the One claimed, albeit about the unmanifest and not the manifestation. And then each one of us, instead of understanding that there's only one One, with our finite wisdom, generally mislead by marketing managers (religious leaders) ask the question 'Which One ?' The global religion marketing wars ar...

Legality of the Morality

Too many incidents happening frequently, which brings up this post : 1.   The Palghar Facebook Incident [Shiv Sena Supremo related] 2. Sibal 2G No Loss 3. Gadkari Holding companies issue 4. Legality of calling the Indian parliamentarians names. and so on... Days at end, the legality of these issues has been debated. The Palghar incident caused a relook of the Constitution / laws of the country, the new auction has supposedly given a clean chit to Sibal / Congress in the 2G spectrum auction case, something similar to what has happened with Gadkari and some audits done by his party. During the fast undertaken by Anna Hazare, parliamentarians were called names, which was immediately raked up as an issue by some MP's. So what is the crux of these matters. First, as must be obvious, I hold no qualifications in Law , which as you will see is beside the point, since a majority of the country's citizens do not as well. The sad fact is this, In each of these cas...
