Will the madness ever end!?

Ohio zoo officials brought down the life of one to save that of another. Are the fictions and marvel stories encouraging such ideas!?

Madness! A gorilla named Harambe was shot down to death with a claim to save a child. As usual there's debate that it was mother's fault and other contradicting claims on whose fault it is.

But, wait how could you kill a gorilla to save a child!? As in who taught who as to which life is more worth!? And who ever allowed to imbibe that a gorilla is less worth than human!?

First of all, I hold an opinion that animals being caged and kept in captive or human control is by it self madness. Nature created all as equal and somehow man has a little more or probably little less than these animals. Man would be root cause for destruction and become the next dinosaur on earth to be eradicated at the alarming way we're cutting down trees, converting lakes as apartments and so on.

I never have expressed anywhere that the human born was inferior or the gorilla must have been allowed to kill the child. I'm simply of opinion that a different approach could have been deployed. What ever happened to the tranquilizers or other ways to distract the poor animal and save the child too!?

What was the failure mode for the child's entry to the moat!?

Will we ever change from keeping these animals under captive and learn to coexist!?

Animals are no way inferior to us. Nature created every creation with a reason behind. Just because man put a stupid pyramid of food chain and kept himself on the top doesn't mean he's actually the superior one. This too shall pass and we humans might be proved to a point to what our weaknesses are. And that's not too long!

Leadership

There has been many great research done and several articles written on leadership. However, this should help my readers around the world understand my opinion and understanding on leadership.

One of the most important trait that's required for a leader is to possess excellent communication skills. Communication is the key to persuasion and persuasion is the key in negotiation.

Have you read Shakespeare works!? Julius Caesar was the King of Rome and people were happy under his rule. The conspirators persuade Brutus and win him to their side to kill Caesar. They knew they can convince the public if Brutus took their side.

When Brutus gave his talk to the angry mob, the public mob was convinced that Caesar was indeed an ambitious man and it was right for him to be killed. When Brutus left Antony to take over and share his grief, Antony plays with the emotions of the mob expressing the generosity of the dead King who had divided his fortune to every citizen of Rome and he indeed was ambitious, but for his people, the mob's anger was diverted towards the conspirators and the very people set fires to the house of the three conspirators.

Persuasion and negotiations need communication, and ability to win hearts origin from the ability to communicate.

Are you a Dronacaharya!?

Mahabharata is the best book that explains 'history' and greatness of the Indian Subcontinent, it's people, culture and what not.

The Indian saga has narrations that could still be a reference for all our lives, even today although the original story line backdates several thousand years beyond captured and recorded human evolution.

Drona was the Royal Guru or Teacher who taught the Princes' the archery and warfare. Arjuna was his favorite amongst all.

Arjuna desired to be the best Archer in history, and to be the best in history requires that he surpass the abilities of his own Guru, Drona the Aacharya.

Realizing this too well, Drona still went ahead to help his disciple Arjuna to surpass him and be renowned as the best Archer.

In the present education system, how many in the profession of a teacher or a professor is willing to help a student to surpass them? Forget about helping the student, we all know the class room is a group of students where an average can be arrived and the group has few above average performers. Also, there are the exceptional ones who outperform even the teacher at comparatively much younger age.

Many teachers fail to take it positively and begin to diffuse a negative energy among the exceptional students. No wonder, brilliants like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates might choose to drop out and learn by themselves and pursue their passion and go on to make the world a better place.

Are you a Drona!? Would you let an Arjuna surpass you!?

It takes a mom to: 1

Mom is the most special person anyone can have. They starve to make sure their child is well fed.

Such a person in life needs to be given the credit they deserve and here I am beginning a new series on, "It takes a mom to" series. New experiences and narrations of mothers seen or experienced shall be updated in forth coming series. At the end, all moms are equal when it comes from an angle of love for their kids. So, the series are dedicated to all mom, that of my friends, relatives and even stories that I trip across.

In one of my close circle, a boy was asking for some evening bites. Myself and almost everyone in the group of ten wanted to walk away from the responsibility of partially baking ourselves from the heated oil pan in the process of making the assorted fried snacks. The closest concern among the group was from his sister who suggested to buy from a shop.

But it takes a mom to realize that her son living far away from them eats three meals a day outside, and that he needs to be fed in healthy way and home made food.

Such deepest level of empathy for anyone, be it a daughter or son, can be received only from a mom. No matter what, mom is a role that can never be replaced in anyone's life.

It takes courage to: 1

It takes courage to give up what you possess and to let go.

The very thought of securing and possessing something for ourselves come in to play in presence of insecurity.

Insecure people over possess excess quantity of stored inventory. Stored inventory could be food, money, gold or anything in relevant context.

It takes courage and fearlessness to give up on something to someone who might be in a much worse state and has a better need of the resource.

Shrada Dawar, from Madhya Pradesh sets a strong case study and a compelling reason for the first post on the series, It takes courage to. She's a differently abled person who's visual impaired and belongs to a tribal family and has cracked the exams and selection process and is now a probationary officer at Bank of India. That is not the achievement of her life. She went a step beyond that and met the collector and returned the 10,000 INR that she obtained previously to complete her education.

She says, she's got a job to be on her own and the money can now be useful for someone else. How many of us would possess that courage to give back and let go of something that we could actually retain with selfishness.

It indeed takes courage to do something like that.

Love,
