“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be” ~ Lao Tzu.  This blog aims at a simple philosophy – ‘live life less serious’ 🙂

So my friends lets exchange thoughts, inspire each other and spread the joy.You could also enrich this blog by providing a ‘Guest Post” on what you think is of interest for us to share.  And there is a space for students too to hear what they feel is important.

I thank you for coming over and participating.

Cheers! 🙂

P.S. With due humility!

    I do enjoy your blog the No awards please, is great. I love to blog but always find it hard to narrow down one topic. I am a great writer, and love to read books. I just think it’s not always so interesting to others that is why I do the Photo challenge with wordpress. Seems to get more attention, not sure after blogging for years. Sometimes I just want to give up blogging. Bless you~J

Your photos and posts are so interesting – I particularly like the ones taken in Pune, as my dad spent time there during WW2 as he was an officer in the Bombay Sappers & Miners Regiment, and he had happy memories of the city.

      We celebrated our 194th Group Day and Reunion 2014 from 30 Jan to 1 Feb 2014 with large number of serving and veterans of the Bombay Sappers attending. On such occasions we have among us a few veterans of the Royal Bombay Sappers who come all the way England.

        http://herschelian.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/a-tribute-to-my-father/. Of course I am biased, but I think he was a very special man!
        I will be making my first trip to India either late this year or early next year as my daughter and her husband plus my small grandson are moving from San Francisco to live in Bangalore – we are a very spread out family nowadays, but thanks to the wonders of the internet are able to stay in close touch.

      Hi there and welcome Neen. It is so nice of you to offer a guest post. I am indeed honored. As the theme of my blog is “To live life less serious” 🙂 it would be great if you are comfortable in writing about some highlights your country and culture. A few pictures even of some ordinary street scenes or some exotic locales if easily available would be nice. The article need even be a short one.

      I do hope you don’t mind my suggestions. Once again my thanks.

    In the spirit of your introduction, for some reason, I am reminded of how great it is to express ourselves without any intention of “planning a response or action beforehand”.

    And so, in this spirit, my initial reaction to your words (without pre-thinking) is that I see your great intention to provide open but still profound mutual exchange of what is true, what is real, what matters. Also, I am impressed with your quite “grounded” pursuit of taking gardening to a new level, which shows how you have integrated the concrete with the non-concrete in your life. It is with gratitude that I am a follower and I look forward to reading your thoughts. ~Sonya

    Hi Sir,

    I am someone who sleepwalks though academics. I am like one of those sharks who if one turns over(if!) goes into a trance – many teachers have that affect on me! However, what I still remember, from TASMAC 2006-07 batch, is that you were one of the people who seemed genuinely interested in teaching. I could always sense positivity emanating from you. You were not one of the those who “do a job”. Always smiling, and polite(1. “…those who don’t want to participate, please don’t disturb others” 2. Please listen to others, give them respect”…all said very gently…something which I myself finding very hard to do in corporate world with my juniors).

    I remember enjoying reading case studies from SM books, though didn’t take them too seriously, because I didn’t know if I will be able in a position to formulate strategies.

    I met Vedant(our common friend) couple of months backs, and he mentioned this blog, and today when I stumbled across it, I can sense the same concern for your students here as well.

    I will be reading through the material on your blog, and would like to interact with you.

    At the very least, I will be in a good company.

    Regards,
    Prashant

      My Dear Prashant a warm welcome to you after so many years!

      Nice words for me my friend I do hope I deserve it. I am so glad you met my good friend Vedant. Reading the beautiful flow of your thoughts makes me feel immensely proud of you. The most important attribute about you is that you seem to have an open mind. So go ahead bash on regardless into the future.

      I take a bow and say ‘Merci beaucoup’!

      @ I’d like to reply your comments on ‘Strong Leadership’ which I found quite thought provoking.

      Yes being a goody-goody guy certainly will not work for a leader faced with tough situations. Also cracking interviews is not enough to certify leadership potential. This is primarily because most interviewers miss out on detecting leadership traits as they may never have experienced the heat and tensions of leadership.

      In SSBs we are trained to gauge leadership attributes and yet at times we do make errors of judgment 🙂 In my mind universal the virtues of courage, integrity, compassion, flexibility and last but not least humility are the imperatives a person must possess to take on leadership challenges.

      Prashant I am most impressed by you for expressing your views candidly. o me you yourself seem to eminently qualify for becoming a great leader Once again my good wishes are with you always.

      Do please keep in touch.

      Cheers 🙂
