Business to the Buddha

Every thought from earthly to unearthly

  • Inclusive growth

    We’ve seen that socialism had it’s problem, capitalism is no less culprit. I’ve been thinking about both together and have written about it. Regularly I asked this questions of how to two of my MBA professors – Prof Harkant Mankad and Prof Arun Ramanathan. Prof Ramanathan suggested me to read functioning of Nordic countries –…

  • The master is the servant’s servant

    A master and his disciples were sitting under a tree. The master saw a man taking a cow with him. Man had this cow tied with a rope, walking in the front and cow, naturally, following the man. The master saw this, said – “see that cow it taking the man somewhere.” His disciples saw…

  • Cast(e)ing doubts – Color of skin

    This blog is in the series of blogs on – against – the caste system of India. Though this blog is on a Western Social Challenge. I wish some day we would value people on their Capabilities and not Caste Action and not Ancestry Character and not on Color of skin That we all connected…

  • Cast(e)ing doubts – Narendra Dabholkar

    I am writing a series (on and off) of blogs on – against – the caste system of India (include black skin for other parts of the world). This is another installment in the series. Last week, there was a shocking news that Dr Narendra Dabholkar was shot dead. In brief Dr Dabholkar was working…

    In a lift one person, an old 70-75 year or so, looks at the other, smiles and thinks – New guy in the building! Looks educated ‘I can talk to him’. He asks – What is your name? Other person responds – Pravin Old man – Pravin what? 2nd person – Pravin is my name.…

  • Cast(e)ing doubts – everyone’s tears are salty

  • Race – never ending

    I met Professor Arun Ramanathan a few months back (precisely in April). He taught us Corporate Governance and Business Ethics in our MBA. I told him a very practical daily situation I face. Whenever I walk, I am almost running, I notice that I walk very fast that I leave people behind as if there…

  • I am that!

    Last weekend, I went for a haircut. In the big mirror of the barber, one of the rare things happened. I was staring at myself without my specks in the mirror and was surprised. I had never noticed that between my nose and eyes there is some bulge, which earlier was not there. I look…

  • Give up Dominion

    Just imagine, there are only humans on the planet earth! I think that was what happened to the Dinosaurs.

They tried to prove their superiority and eventually got over powered by the universe with some meteoroid. Whatever the…
