Business to the Buddha

Business to the Buddha

Every thought from earthly to unearthly

  • Butterfly Effect, is it?

    One fine day morning, a very strange thought came in my mind. Whatever we are doing, is it creating any problem in the nature or it is development? I shifted to suburb some time back, I found that there is relatively less cleanliness in suburb compared to where I used to live in South Mumbai…

  • Keynes

    I enjoyed learning economics in my MBA, thanks to Prof Mankad for teaching Macroeconomics as a well narrated story of History of the world. He taught it so brilliantly that we all used to sit, go through the roller coasters up and down the history lane by-lanes and learn the development in economics and policy…

  • Impermenance

    Recently, I relocated from Posh South Mumbai to Suburban Mumbai. There were reasons for this move. I used to travel 2+ hours one way in different public transports (a meager 35 KM distance). Not that I cannot afford a personal vehicle (or can not drive); I do not want to buy one. Considering various issues…

  • Neeraj in Kabir’s style

    Gopaldas Neeraj is an Indian poet. He wrote many poems, some I studied in my course work may be. I remember his Bollywood songs such as O meri sharmilee (from the movie Sharmilee) and Phoolon ke rang se, dil ki kalam se (from the movie Prem Pujari) etc. Read more poems here, and one of…

  • Lesson from the Twitter…

    Twitter is a funny thing, at times, It teaches you some lessons unintentionally. This is what happened to me which made me think – am I writing what I feel is my opinion or I am writing what makes others feel good about my opinions? For a mere mortals – like I am – this question…

    I have read Dr Joseph Stiglitz. He is a Nobel prize awarded economist. The book I read first was Globalization and its discontents and recently I started reading The price of Inequality. I realized that Dr Stiglitz may not be the so called capitalist economist, he is capitalist but with a touch of a Just…

  • The virtue of Truthfulness

    Rummuser, Ramana Rajagopaul, is my friend, mentor and uncleji. He recently felt that I should read a book and sent it to me. The book is titled – Yoga in day-to-day life. This book is published by Sri Ramkrishna Math. Still reading the book and thought to share a story of this book. Chapter 2…

  • Big data – lesson on spirituality

    I was talking to my MD – Dr Vivek Damle. I said, Big data is “relevant information provider” for real time. One cannot rely on old data generated by a person, say in 2010, for marketing strategy (I am writing this blog in 4th Quarter of 2013). The discussion went on a very strange yet…

  • Some other day

    I was traveling from Mumbai to Pune for some meetings, in my oblivion talking to my senior and looking at road. Suddenly I looked out of window – wow! I am crossing through a beautiful place. This is wonderful, the waterfall, its open you can look long distance.” That gaze was like just sit here…

  • Is religion another organized crime?

    Disclaimer – The below are observations, and the author feels that largely the problem is with the way religion and religious practices are followed or has become a fanatic theory. If ever you can win (or say find or please) God by following certain prescription of a book world would have been a different place…
