Uttarakhand - “The Abode of Gods”

In the heart of these mighty mountains, touching Tibet, the roof of the world, in the north and the great Indo-Gangetic plain in the south, is an area, known, over the centuries as ‘Uttarakhand’, as a ‘paradise’ on earth and the most glorious temple of Nature. In magnificence and stupendous sublimity, there is no other mountainous region in the world that can be compared with the Uttarakhand Himalayas – a region under-laid by rich mineral deposits, still almost untouched, and a beauty that is unexcelled.

Here, which they designated “Dev Bhoomi”, came ancient Aryans to seek divine knowledge amidst the mighty ranges of the west, and towering peaks of the east, with their unparalleled beauty and grandeur that gave to doctrines and teachings equally mighty. Invested with scenery of indescribable grandeur, of a magnificent variety, this ‘Abode of God’ is studded with places of pilgrimage and shrines. Under the towering peaks were born pure thoughts in places unsullied by the selfish passions generated in the struggle for existence and self gratification.

Here, in the quest of the spirit, which remains the supreme effort of mankind, came the great teachers of mankind to receive in that rarified explaining the mysteries of Nature, long before science was able to explain them, the atomic theory, the theory of relativity and vibration. Maya and Tattavams, proclaimed telepathy long before the human brain was found to emit waves. Enclosed in the folds of the mighty ranges are memories of the great Gautam Buddha in search of salvation for mankind. Rishis – Vyas, Narada and Agastya seeking inspiration to carry down to struggling humanity, while from Europe came the great Pythagoras and Appolonious of the Tiana who certainly contacted these illumined men, when they came to India in search of wisdom. Along the winding valleys and gorges Guru Charaka gathered his precious healing herbs, their qualities also described by Huen Tsang in 1300 A.D. in his travelogue on the sojourn in India.

Being Diplomatic – Cause of Ruin

Wherever we go, we find people are so dissatisfied because somewhere it is the Government not working up-to the mark and somewhere there are system’s not performing as per the expectations. Therefore, we cry, cry and cry for all of our woes in closed quarters. But still we want to keep our chimera of being diplomatic all the time to reap the maximum benefit wherever it is possible, rather than pointing out fault at its face.

Therefore, it is not the government or systems which are inefficient, but it is us who are to be blamed wholly for all the woes and problems around us. How often we stand for a cause and convey our heart rendering feeling or thoughts. We all love our “Chalta Hain” attitutude, whenever we need to confront the problems at the face to weed it out from the society.

I have heard people saying, government machineries are not performing and often we have to oil the system let the system move and because of this our state or country is languishing in terms of growth and prosperity. But, whom should we make scapegoat for all our miseries and problems? It is the systems or the individual or our society at large? Perhaps being Diplomatic is the Cause of Ruin of our Society, State and Country.

We want to run away from asking the tough or rude questions from the people accountable, responsible and are at the helm of affairs because we want to be nice, good and diplomatic. And in this process we are simply giving them unaccounted power to rule the way, they want to rule us and not the way we want to have systems or rule in place. Therefore, we have to shun this nature of being diplomatic all the time and stand up with courage to ask and challenge the wrong doing being done around or against us.

Team Spirit – A Myth

It is quite often that noticed that global Multi National Companies are seeking workforce who can work in sync with a big team, as accomplishment of any work requires coordination and support of the team members. Therefore, often such coordination is mixed-up with the concept of team-spirit. However, it is very important to distinguish the concept of team-spirit and coordination.

Everywhere, where results are yielded by the workforce, we noticed that work has been batched into several components and each individual is given a separate batched work to finish it in stipulated time to accomplish the desired objective. Therefore, team manager / coordinator’s job is to check each individual and create a semblance between them to finish work as per the time line. Each individual is working separately to finish the work assigned to him / her.

Therefore, no way it’s team-spirit which is often quoted as the desirable criteria for eligible workforce, it is the person’s sincerity, his sense of understanding the issue at individual level and group level makes all difference to finish the time which is again a coordination between various individuals.
