Desire

Walk a mile to catch a thief - there is no limit to what you should walk to save a life. On Sunday morning GJ Rao was the guest for the 2 km run held by Care Hospital for bringing awareness in the population with regard to Suicide and its prevention. Sunday while it was eventful for some was run of the mill for the others.

For Dr Ramu the PRO at ASCI it was a day of decisions. At long last as the sun hidden by the cloud cover moved up in the sky he at last came to a decision. His motto of 'variety is the spice of life had to be lived up to. Rather reluctantly he came to the decision that he must also put into practice his motto. It was this decision that made him get rid of his close friend and companion for many years. It was with a heavy heart that he took his razor to personally murder his goatee. The transformation was rather miraculous and he was young and debonair once more. The fact was the topic of many conversations in the college. Jagpal said " kya dikhra Boss" and as usual it summed up everyone's thoughts . Of course the dense among us had this puzzled look on their faces and reflected it by saying " Kya dikhra?" 

Anyhow the other part of the story deals with the class by Prof Sachendra. The difference between a leader and the manager was clarified. The leader should also be a manager however a manager need not necessarily be a leader. It is a matter of semantics . A manager is also a leader. Only he  has to follow to lead. Quality as usual reflected in the lecture by Prof Sachendra.  In fact the topic of discussion was also quality. We strive for quality all our lives more than anything else as children we want better clothes and toys as teenagers we want better vehicles as young men better girl friends as husbands - the neighbours wife is always better as middle aged men theneighbours is definitely better if she is younger a, our children are never performing better than their peers, as old people we look for better medical care, housing and various other things. In short we always stress ourselves out craving for these things and striving to attain these material things.
