Acceptance of jealousy
It is really fun now listening the " dwandwa " between E. M. Rav sir and Sreenivasan sir classes.
It always remind me of one book "Durdamya" where Lokmanya tilak explains this type of friendly fight between professor's in Fergusson college. It is really nice.
I should work on following things now.
1] Understanding the individual differences.
2] Focusing on strengh of any other person and compensating foor weakness.
Both the steps are very important for working as OB researcher or Prof (Fundamental pricniple)
as well as working for non profit organization. In short my FUTURE !!!!

Strive for excellence
I am here as Fellow student. My each work and thought should be inline with this. College is paying me as scholar, My all actions and behavior should match this. Not anything wrong i have done (:)).But simply i am not totally focus.
Secondly, I should be ablel to perform all the minor tasks with perfection and should target the exxcellence. But it is not happening. It was so fascinating assignment given by Prof Gurunathan. We even thought on all aspects. We even worked hard. But due to laziness and "Chalata hai" approch we lost the ultimate fun which we could have gain if we had completed the assignment with perfection at each step.
I think,
Excellence = (step 1) passion +(step 2) hardwork + (step 3)Precision and perfection at each small steps.
Intigrity=step 1: knowing your mission.
step 2 :Flowing the mission throughout your body.
My strength that i lerant from this assignment was i love working on short term project work and generally in the team. I hope it can be same with long term project.
Today in Prof. Gurunathan's class i felt at one moment suddenly bad for not striving for excellence. When can be "I " like that what i want ?
I am going to read "Jonathen" immediately. I may get some new message !! :)
Orkut birthdays, Sreenath, Drucker, books and wonderful life
Ø Today my friend Sreenath ran 15 rounds on ground. It is high example of mental determination one should have. Without previous practice today he started running with the target of 15 rounds. After 3 round he was tired. Then with few breaks he completed 8. Then he had tea break then going back he completed remaining rounds. It is not good from medical point of view. But it is best achievement motivation I have seen in near past. He loves giving pain to his body. Hats off to my friend.
Ø Today I went to the library and read 4 books simultaneously. One was on “How to read a book” ?
I got nice stuff to think.
Books are of three type :
§ General (information based)
§ Useful for reading, but after reading you feels that you know more than what the book say.
You will feel that I have completed this one. And I will really never read it again.
§ Books which each new reading give new thinking to you. You think that book is growing with your mental growth. E.g. Geeta
Say, you have to go one island where there are no facilities, no human beings. Which 10 book you will take with yourself. ?
Ø I saw the movie “It is a wonderful life”. Nice movie which says there are no failures for one who has lot of friends. (No extra comments)
Ø Nonprofit organization although having more financial restrictions, have their functioning align to their mission statement. Vice versa for the business organization. Secondly the volunteers are getting replaced by the unpaid professionals these days. This is future trends for this sector.(Peter Drucker)

120 rupees= 90 pages
whole three day story will be boaring to write.(although nice to experience). So i will write the last experience. While coming back , i decided not to spend money on any food.(actually i was short of money so i decided to test it). Next to me was sitting one man enjoying all the food whatever it came in my compartment. Whenever he stopped any seller, i had immensed desire to take that food. then i decided i will read the no. of pages equal to no. of rupees he would spent in entire journey. I had huge satisfaction after that and also great motivation. I finished 90 pages of book "practical spirituality" while that man spend amount= rupees 120. Whenever he finished one type of food, he had more desire for next type of food. While whenever he would finish one type of food, i had real joy of controlling my desire and real satisfaction of reading the book.
I learnt from this experiment that real joy is not in satisfying the desires but in postponing them or avoiding them. You can eat the pages (off course by reading) and have more joy than food.
some random thought i had during journey ehich i recollect are
1] Happiness requires money if you are in hurry. That is if you are master of time you can enjoy the happiness irrespective of money.
2] Auto takes rs 80 from XL to station (around 6 km), train takes rs 20 from tatanagar to khadagpur (around 140 km) and cycle rickshaw takes rs 40 from station to iit kharagpur (around 6 km). Nice economical thought to digest in recent days. I will write on this some other day.
3] you should be like railway. When you are running have full enthusiam, making lot of noise and cutting the winds and when you are still be like railway standing in yard.(i think i miss the idea which i had at that moment)
4] In india, women are always respected atleast while travelling in general class or buses.
5] People have immense faith in God in India. But they lack the faith in themselves. We should work out on this.
One more dream,
I should travell around the whole India for period of say 3 month.

So Gaya...
Is this bad or good ? Other than physical attraction, i dont believe in emotional dependancy theory. Supporters may argue that it is sharing but then why it is only with one particular ?
i dont know answer.At this point of time i purely feel that its dependancy. One should generate happiness by sharing with any body.
I want my philosophy of life as the one who is totally emotional independant but fully social.
As i will work with people (this is not answer for "why HR" in interview. ), i should be totally involve in them still away from the attachment. i should enjoy dettachment. I have all the best friends having girlfriends. They all have good girlfriends.(I mean to say, some of them may read this :).
One good movie "Into the wild" has one good sentence. I dont remember it exactly (as usual :))
but hero says one of his friend while leaving him that i will surely miss you. but i will enjoy the new experiences and people. So while leaving i will never be sad.
My test of emotional detachment is that, when we will complete two yrs in XL, my all regular MBA program friends will leave the institute. I want to say them "BYE " with full emotions still smiling.
And when i will back , i should start working immediately on OB research with full passion as if nothing has happened. And still in two year , i should be one with full of love and care.
I dont know such types of dreams are good or bad ? where they will take me ? but i will follow them.

LIFE
what else is the happiness ? Yesterday night , we had long walk in nice cold , cup of coffee and long chat till 4.00 clock. What else one can have ?
Thing is that if you decide to be happy, you will find joy in whatever you are doing . Its really good feeling to be in such state.
Sreenath got placed in WWF . Nice thing is happened. Let everybody get what they want. Let the world be full of joy and happiness.

Shubh Dipawali
Anyway we met one ballon sailer small boy outside the moll. We took two baloons from him (rs. 10 ) and gift him back both. He was very happy. I started my Diwali celebrations in real joy. Whole credit to Sreenath as i just copied his idea.
I have one sandle soap with me. Sugat and me are going to share it. (Half- half). Although he is scientist, he follows good RUDHI (traditions). We are planning to wake up early and avoid NARAKA on holy morning of Diwali. Hope we will be successful in our tomorrows mission of AVOID NARAKA..
MY roomie(Gaurav) has bought some good DIVA's.. He is really good roomie. We both are going to study now.(I think we will be doing something else within 10 min.)

Help them who can be helped !!
Sreenath(he is just to sign out SIP and going for WWF , I am proud of him) and me were discussing the movie "into the wild" and one important point was that " you should help them who can be helped ". I had interview with "Vijay MAhajan" head of Basic bank for SIP. I am going to do summers in Marathavada. I will provide sustainable livelihood to some landless labours there. I am totally excited now. My friends are congratulating me as i am out of SIP. But i am happy because i made my choice. i was thinking that i will start working once i finish my research after 4 year. But now i have one point that i will start working in Zarakhand once i start my research simulteniously. Superb !!
thats it.. No new experience to write.
Oh , one more..I met one cycle repairer ..He had his store below one tree from last 16 year. Now tree has grown up large one. It was very interesting chat. these are the timmings i enjoy my life a lot. Actually I always !!

Creative tension
Today i attended seminar on action research on poverty allivation. There were 35 NGO representatives. Only 2 hours to discuss , it became mundi bazar. We discuss tomatos of patamada , mashrooms, 1 rs- 20 paisa , partnership, hopeless goverment and all except poverty.
I understood the importance of faciliator and clearance of idea. NGO's are loosing there integrities seriously. Only one good point generated was that poverty related with social structure. And living with people more effective than doing only project.
Prof. Srinivasan's lecture are superb..I am feeling realy happy that i am OB fellow. Todays good thought was rather than changing reality, change the way you look at the reality.(Cognitive restructuring). Shubharatri !! (Yesterday we have completed one assignment from 9 pm to 9 am continuous with one maggi break) I cant type more now !

competance or committment ? relationships or task ?
I am going through very different phase of life with lot of eagerness to learn.I hope I can maintain this state. It should become part and parcel of my life.
I learnt one new concept that '' mind has one central idea and all other thinking processes flourishes on it " . If you don't have that idea, you are bound to face chaos. But what if your mind contains more than one central idea ? your brain and mind should have then partition
technique. ok going anywhere.
Another thought is that, me and my roomie are very good friends. We dont have any issues. But when we are inside room, we are both in our own worlds. What type of relations will be there in between us after one year. ?
Sreenath is watching movie in which one guy solds everything and donate everything and starts new trip. He is very excited abt that idea(control sree !).. Sugat is thinking abt why he left research at Tata and join MBA (man but animal), Hari is filling that he would join FPM course sometime in future.(I hope it should be immediate), my roomie is now frightened with any placecom mails (:)), Today everybody was happy with pepsi PPT as they gave free gifts.
Reju feels OB is BAKAWAS... But see what huge OB stuff i have now with me.. Thats enough otherwise i will stop writing blog in one or two week.(HAARI UVAACH).

Sharing dreams !!
Todays Prof. Gurunathan's lecture was again interesting one. It was about choosing relational benefits rather than transactional benefits. He made interesting point that whenever he ask for examples nobody gives their own examples (Proof that rather than following "SWADHARMA" people goes for loosely said "ARTHA".) Also he mentioned that this type of people are generally reseacher, teacher or NGO's people. I am happy that I am all of three. But thing is that these questions are interesting to have class discussions. But what i feel is that answers for them can be obtained only by self experiment, self analysis. You have to find your own answers !!
Everybody else on campus is deeply engaged in their SIPs, while i am writing blogs, reading books and all. I really should not care abt these things rather than hating them. People will do these things as it is their choice. I should more concentrate on my choice. And i thing i am achiving this level.
Yesterday we visited "Chandil Dam". We had speed boat ride. I want to take experience of "Upasana" in deep ocean, high mountains, speedy wind, and dense forests. Sahich !!
I want to buy following things after my savings.
1] Jipsy
2] Tent
3] lot of books
4] Now, one boat :)
5] One bunglow and my own farm in village(few Bhaise !!).. I dont bother to stay in one room in town.
Can teaching profession and organization work will satisfy my these basic needs. Actually i dont bother abt it. I knows my capacities. I will follow my passion...

Joke VS Concept
While I was teasing Hari, for lot of PPTs and Gyaan sessions , he was completely assertive with the process. He pointed out that every thing is learning and enjoying for him. Even PPTs , summer gyans and making resume ..this was new learning for me. I always enjoy doing my things. But now onwards i will not condemn any body other doing any other thing. Then only I can be more develop. Actually This is new dimention of Independancy I got from Hari. Lot of work still needed to become Independant.
(Today is Dandia night...I need to take experiece of XL culture.Another fact is that what i wrote yesterday abt Robin is now null and void. As sugat jumped on me to prove that robin never had brown spot but it is some other bird (some X or Y).. I hate you dost ..(Someday i will tell you the name of bird) )..

My first bird watching..
Then we went through MDP and then through small Jungle near XL..I was trying hard. All birds were calling me "Common Gaurav, look at us" !! and I was watching with blanck sight all the trees.. It surely created interest in tree watching. Many times I watch out the birds and Sugat identified them as Maina, Dow, Pigeon, Parrot...(I doubt him). Otherwise Kaushal and sugat had some golden birds as (I dont remember their names :)) Any how i managed to survive with these bird watchers for 2 hrs. A new fun for me. But I loved watching Robin very closely with brown spots on his front side.
Anyway i have now some photos with branches and bird flied away.I still feel no use of identifying birds..Real pleasure is in watching them. May it be crow or parrot (Till the time ,I cant find any other..)

2 A.M.
Ok leave it apart !
Today I learnt the IPN need theory in OB. Can I define some ideal man concept ?
Can we define some benchmark in all these tests which is must for the man to be the harmonious part of society..?
I think these tests as part of a self development. But then what can be my benchmark ?
Can there be substitute for dance ? Are these parties(stuff like that) are compulsary part of society ? How can we define fun ? All boring part na ?
leave it !!
People are asking me to come for party ! So better I switch off lights and think some innotive ideas .
Shubharatri !! (Last one, French- German are here in our campus as part of exchange program. We have shown them senior night, wet night , sunday parties..They are happy. Feeling as if they are in there native place. But what can I do ? Most of people in campus know only this as India.
One more, We have Start up and social sector included in summer . !! XL is full of Contrasts. It is difficult to find matching color.....:))

3] May in future , I can share my experiences with somebody.
4] General feeling (I read just now , one of my friend's blog)
(Tips: Please ignore my grammer and spelling mistakes)
Today i had good OB lecture by Prof. Sreenivasan,
I want to learn as much OB as I can. I am feeling OSSOM interest in it ..
