Recently, I received a bloody email. The attached images were horrible to watch. One can see blood everywhere. The blood was oozing from the friendly Calderon Dolphins that approached the beaches of Denmark to play with men, women and children. This is happening every year like a festival. Unfortunately, the Dolphins were not aware that [...]

Accept people as they are and change your approach towards them. Not only your capability but your compatibility determines [...]

It is an interesting article on “Stop the Innovation Wars” by Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble in Harvard Business Review of July-August 2010. The article exclaims,”In our experience, innovation teams feel a hostility toward the people responsible for day-to-day operations that is just as biting.” As I was involved in invention, innovation and development for very [...]

கடந்த மூன்று நாட்களாக கணினியில் என்ன செய்ய ஆரம்பித்தாலும், என்னுடைய முழு நேரமும் தமிழ் எழுத்துச் சீர்திருத்தம் பற்றிய கட்டுரைகளைப் படிப்பதிலேயே சென்றுவிடுகின்றன. நான் வட நாட்டில் இருக்கும் பொழுதே, இதைப் பற்றி சிந்தித்திருக்கிறேன். காரணம், தமிழில் படித்திருந்ததால், தமிழை புதிதாக கற்றுக்கொள்பவரின் (கஷ்டம், கடினம்: இரண்டுமே வடமொழி தானே) கஷ்டம் புரியவில்லை. சில வருடங்களுக்குப் பிறகு, தமிழ் நாட்டைச் சேர்ந்தவர்களுடைய குழந்தைகள், தமிழை எழுதக் கற்றுக்கொள்வதற்கு வாய்ப்பில்லாததால், தமிழில் பேசமட்டுமே முடிந்தது. தமிழின் பெருமை அறிந்த [...]

English உலகச் செந்தமிழ் மாநாடு, நாளை முதல் மிகச் சிறப்பாகவும், ஆடம்பரமாகவும் தொடங்க இருக்கிறது. முதுபெரும் கலைஞர், செந்தமிழ் காவலர், தமிழக முதல்வர், முனைவர். மு.கருணாநிதி அவர்களின் வாழ்க்கைச் சாதனையாக இந்த மாநாடு அமையும். தமிழர்கள் நிச்சயமாக அடுத்த தேர்தலில் தி.மு.க. க்கு வாக்குரிமைகளை அளித்து தங்கள் நன்றியினை தெரிவித்து விடுவார்கள். இது ஒரு குறிக்கோளாக இருக்கலாம். இன்னும் பல குறிக்கோள்களை வெளியிட்டிருக்கிறார்கள். ஆனால், ஒரே ஒரு குறிக்கோளை மட்டும் யாரும் வெளியிட்டதாக தெரியவில்லை. அதுதான் பழம் [...]

Dr. V.C.Kulandaiswamy as Convener for a High Power Committee on “Up-gradation of Government and Government aided colleges into Unitary Universities” submitted his report last week. The members of the team have thoroughly studied various issues and suggested measures for improving higher education in particular to start more universities by upgrading some good colleges. However, it has not pointed out even a single point on unethical practices cultivated in education for several decades. It has not put a single point on how to clean the corrupt and completely politicized education system. I expect Padma Bhushan, IITKian, Dr. Kulandaiswamy at 81 to tell the truth and “dharma” to politicians.

Applying Trimurti concept from Hinduism to Western Business concept in isolation can not bring big change either to the organization or the society in which it operates. Instead of trying to find parallels to a small activity in Hinduism, the learned professors in West be Indian or others should try to understand the Hinduism in totality. You should not apply Hinduism concept of work ethics to produce weapons of mass destruction for huge profit.
