I feel the heat, do you?



I feel the heat, do you?


All conditions being conducive, after being subjected to what degree of heat would you call a piece of carbon a diamond? 


When the foundation is weak...


When the foundation is weak...

... a mansion will ‘die’.

No man has ever survived, having built his home on a weak premise.

Principles maketh a man.

A Nation, or a Farm of "Headless Chickens"?


A Nation, or a Farm of “Headless Chickens”?

A nation has several requirements: a defence ministry, finance ministry, home ministry, a robust economy... I’m sure you can fill in the blanks. For it to prosper, all the ministries must respect each other and work in harmony.

But you see, that’s the crux of the matter:

In our haste to move ahead quickly, we get so caught up with our need to subjugate the other and indulge in other sundry dramas, that we lose sight of the vision, the vision of collectively serving the nation, our agency, well.

The Arch within the Arch


The Arch within the Arch

We all know that we should  be frenetically searching for the one big idea for our brand that could help us win a metal; the one big metal that could win us big clients; the one big client that could win us praise from our worldwide group head... you get the drift?

And yet we lose sight of that one big idea.

Funny, don’t you think?

1947


1947


Those who were born around the time India became free, know the import of the word ‘Freedom’. 

What a pity its significance is lost on the subsequent generations.

Rejected!



Rejected!

How many times have you had your work rejected on some pretext or the other? And what did that do to your self esteem?

Ever thought that it would pay to start your work early and celebrate (as in relax) only after you had gotten it right?

Work done well reflects on how much you love your job as much as your willingness to improve.
