DESTINY WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH !



DESTINY WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH !

Bradman and Gavaskar were most precious players for their countries.Both will be always remembered by thousands of fans for their centuries.

When Don Bradman walked to bat to play his last inning of the illustrious career he had scored 6996 runs in 69 innings. In his last inning he needed just 4 runs to make his career batting average 100.

What happened is now the history..Bradman was clean bowled on duck ....could not score 7000 runs and his career batting average is  99.94 not 100 Those four crucial runs elluded him no matter he might have hit hundreds of fours prior to that.


 The world acknowledges Bradman as the greatest batsman but the Destiny put a small Mark of blemish in the record books.

When our Indian Bradman none other than Sunny Gavaskar played his last test match Destiny played the same game with him and he was out on 96. Those four runs prevented him from scoring one more century , no matter he had scored highest number of  centuries till then and  broke the record of Sir Bradman.

Gavaskar and Bradman both had their own era both used to love scoring centuries and both were right handed batsmen. .Unfortunately both could not score those last four runs !
Destiny always will have the last laugh !

Decision Making

Decision Making A decision can be defined as the best course of action—or inaction—perceived by an individual or a group of people at a given time in a particular situation. Interestingly, sometimes the most appropriate decision is not to act at all. Choosing inaction consciously is, in itself, a form of decision-making. Since time, circumstances, and people’s needs constantly change, no decision is ever permanently right or wrong. A choice that seems correct today may appear inappropriate tomorrow. Today’s comforts may become tomorrow’s needs, and what we see as luxuries now may turn into necessities in the future. A particular course of action that suits one situation may prove unsuitable when the situation changes. Moreover, individuals think differently—what one considers right, another may see as wrong. The real nature of a decision becomes evident only after it is implemented, by which time the situation itself may have changed. Every individual faces many challenges in life, and...

FALL IN LINE

FALL  IN   LINE 43 years back I attended one lecture of noted management expert and teacher , Professor Sharu Rangnekar and later  read his  one small and wonderful   book titled " In the wonderland of Indian Mangers".I honestly feel that no one has described  management style and work culture of  Indian Industries better than professor Rangnekar. Since then I have been a silent observer of the people I have met in various industries. RANGNEKAR described  in the book how people avoid work in the systematic manner.He also mentioned  about 90 /10  formulae stating that  in almost all Indian  industries and offices 90 percent work is done by 10 percent of the employees and balance 10 percent work is done by 90 percent of the employees .When I observe people I try to place them in either 90 percent or 10 percent category . In most Indian industries the basic  management style continues to be " Either you fall in lin...
