#layoffs

While everyone is commenting about layoffs (quite frankly how many do personally know what it means), I thought it may help to share a perspective.. from someone who faced this twice in life & saw 2 more in close quarters..

Some lessons from past.. Thread below

1/ In corporate world, layoffs are a reality. One can try to put a logic to it, but it doesn't matter. Logical, Business, Macro Economy or otherwise, it is a reality that can happen.

If one believes their job is secure till retirement, nothing can't be farther from truth

#Analysis of a frustrated #IndianCricket fan

Now that we have exited, I feel some changes are required in the setup for white ball cricket.

Rohith is not captaincy material for National team. Though it may sound preposterous, we need Kohli back as captain. Fire is missing

1/ KL Rahul, Pant, Bhuvi, Shami, Axar should be benched.

Need to blood in more youngsters & give longer rope.

Thou may be unpopular, we need good mix of Left & Right hand batsmen.

Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer need to be give some more chances

Your Dharma and Mine - Shatavadhani Dr. R. Ganesh

A book that makes the reader contemplate on every single word, a truly genius of a book.

I wouldn’t even dare to even think of rating this book, but yet it has maximum stars for me & beyond

1/ Dharma, what does it mean? What does it signify? For such existential questions, one definite reference is this book by Dr. Ganesh. Samanya Dharma which is the core tenet of our lives is discussed in very fine detail.

Bravehearts of Bharat - @vikramsampath

An impulsive purchase from @PadhegaIndia_ , this book is a treasure trove of gems from our history. A highly recommended MUST read / must have in collection

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4

Review below 👇

1/ History is filled with multiple stories of quite well known personalities. However, there are quite a large number whose stories are not widely known to the general populace.

This anthology of 15 such Bravehearts tries to bridge this vacuum to some extent.

#TheDewansOfMysore
Very interesting incident from Dewans of Mysore by DVG

There was a custom during Durbars of Mysore palace (Dasara / Janmotsava of the Maharaja etc). Locals sat cross-legged on the floor and spoke during the assembly.

1/ The Europeans adorned the chair.

The Dewan told them in no uncertain term : "If this is how it is going to be, you can't come to the Durbar"

The British officials said: "We wear trousers & are not used to wear dhotras & neither is our practice to wear uttariyas ... "
