Can God restart the 'Universe' Program ...

Matters of Future are difficult to understand. And it becomes highly susceptible to controversy if it is linked with Religion. Existence of god has been debated for years and the primary reason behind this is the fact that God is considered to be Omniscient. And hence naturally, if the god is omniscient, then in the first place he/she lets the unpleasant things happen. The Hindu system of beliefs, which is mainly based on the teachings from Bhagvat Gita, considers god not as the master but as the Moderator of the universe. (In fact, the belief also suggests the existence of Multiple universes or Multiverse system). So as a moderator, even if God is omniscient, he/she still cannot make changes in the system. This can be understood better by a simple analogy. God acts as the Programmer for this program of Universe. He/She has designed all the logic of time, as in the equation of Past, Present and Future. This equation is based on the transactions of the Doings of a person (aka

DLS Philosophy of 'Net Worth': The Ancient Indian Way

Financial Accounting, Class - I Net-Worth, defined as The Total assets minus total liabilities of an individual entity. Assets, defined as any tangible or intangible economic resource. Liability, defines as any present and/or future sacrifice of economic benefit. ..... Don't worry, I am not writing any Financial Accounting Essay or paper. I couldn't find a better way to open the topic. But anyways, this is how Net-Worth is defined in today's world. Practically, it is the organization's or person's ' Value ' at present. Needless to say, we give a lot of importance to Net-Worth of an entity. Importance given to entity is directly proportional to its Net-Worth. Talking more specifically (and sarcastically too), sometimes, this importance is directly proportional to the higher powers of Net-Worth. (Yes, you are correct, I am talking about squares and cubes). Wars of Net-Worth Rankings are very well enjoyed by spectators and competitors as well. Re

Digital India 2020 : Opportunity or Conundrum

In today’s VUCA world, markets are seeing a marked transformation from being Business oriented to consumer oriented. With businesses becoming more and more customer centric, organizations are overwhelmed by huge data and find it difficult to leverage on that due to absence of coherent digital strategy. Technology is no longer an issue relevant only to certain industries, but is becoming a crucial driver to influence dominant forces that are shaping the global economy. Tectonic shift towards Digital Enabling is largely accepted by the consumers. With 52% of Fortune 500 companies having gone bankrupt/acquired/ceased to exist since 2000 due to digital disruption, it is time now that enterprises reshape themselves internally and externally to catch up with the digital disruptions. Digital growth statistics are just the tip of the ice-berg, representing merely a few strands in the web of digital transformation. This technology web is the interplay of Social Media, Mobile, Analytics, C

The Management 'Before Christ' : Probably the Dark Matter in Universe of Management

Everything we do has Management. As it seems, the management is not defined clearly. George Terry says in his famous book, Principles of Management, that there has not been a clear definition of Management, because management is related to human beings and whatever is connected with humans has a degree of uncertainty and hence cannot be defined clearly. But overall management can be considered to be consisting of Planning,Organizing, Coordinating, Motivating and Controlling. Whatever may be the definition, management has been employed since way back in history. Sumerians who lived around 5000 BC taught us the technique of Record Keeping. Huge pyramids were built between 4000 BC to 2000 BC. Nearly 1,00,000 laborers were employed to build those. Deciding the architecture, dividing the labor, allocating the resources and checking the completed work, what else was all this if not Management. Later, Babylonians (between 2000 BC to 1700 BC) gave us the concept of setting the Targets and

Put a Shark in the Tank

(Yes, it is Story Time. The last time I told a story was when I was in school. It gives me pleasure to share a good story with you. I hope you would like it) Somewhere in the 19th Century, all of a sudden, popularity of a certain type of fish reached a booming high in Japan. People of Japan had gone mad for this fish type and were devouring it like nothing before. All of the fishermen were busy collecting this variety of fish from sea and getting it to the local markets. Initially, a considerable quantity of fish was available in the coastal region and hence it was not difficult to get a high yield of the fish, which were also fresh. But as we all humans are, people of Japan kept on consuming the fish and soon there was acute shortage of fish near coastal regions. Fishermen had to go further inside the sea in order to collect the fish. Being fishermen of early 19th century, they didn't have access to Refrigeration Techniques and hence by the time fishermen came back from t

Hard Work vs. Smart Work vs. Quasi-Smart Work

"There is No Substitute For Hard Work" Thomas A. Edison There is still a confusion, about whether this quote is more famous or the person who said it is more famous. Well, lets not get bogged down further by this confusion. When we read this quote about hard work, we are immediately convinced. But, our conviction lies in the direction of the quote.We hardly bother to think Normal (Yes, the one from Geometry) to the quote's direction. In today's Smart World, everything and everyone is getting Smart and Smarter day by day. So, we have conveniently replaced the Hard Work with Smart Work (or rather started to do so). I remember an example, which my mentor told me once. He asked me that 'Who will reach the destination first in a race of running, if both an Elephant and a horse start running at the same time ?' I immediately answered, 'Horse' (As most of you must have already, how obvious !!). But I was surprised to know that my answer was wrong. The
