Leadership skills from epics

The ongoing COVID 19 crisis is difficult time for everyone across the globe. In this difficult times leadership roles have very important role to play. Leaders across different spectrums resonate certain actions which can be clubbed under wide range of traits. It is widely believed that difficult times usually paves way for strong leaders, it weed out the weak leaders. In the book ‘why nations fail’, author Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson writes about the ‘critical juncture’. How a nation responds during such crisis or critical juncture shapes the future of the nation. But I feel this analogy is applicable to corporates, young entrepreneurs and all of us.

Remember, the 1991 balance of payment crisis was one such critical juncture when India decided to open its economy. When I say open the economy I mean opening the economy for private sector, exiting the license permit raj and of course last but not the least allowing MNCs to operate in India. Since then, in terms of GDP we have nearly expanded more than 9 times! From nowhere to 5th largest economy by nominal GDP. It is precisely, during this time Sunil Bhrati Mittal exited on of his business to form Airtel which went to become one of the largest telecom company in the world!  

In this lockdown time, the two great epics of India Mahabharat and Ramayan can give us very good insight on leadership skills. In fact, watching the two epics together will show how certain skills make sense irrespective of the ‘yugs’ (Treta yug, Dwapar Yug or even Kal yug). I have listed four of my observation

Conflict of interest- King Dushrath when he was on a war, his wife Kakeyi saved his life and he gave her two boons, which eventually led to the exile of Lord Ram. Dushrath probably mixed his personal life with professional life as a King. All promises made by King should be subject to the constraints of the rules laid down in his kingdom. In other words, certain promises lead to conflict of interest. When a person is leading a company or is owner of company such conflict of interest situation may arise. A true leader will put his personal interest aside. We can also look at this issue in cognizance with the rising corporate governance issue including the NPA disputes, which are more or less the outcome of corporate misconduct.

Promise- In Mahabharat, Devrat promises to Satyavati’s father he will never marry anyone. He also promises in the ‘Rajya Sabha’ that he will remain loyal to the throne. He kept this promise till his last breath. Well, the question on the whole oath whether it was correct or not is altogether a different topic. The learning here is; a good leader will make sure that all the promises done by his firm is kept. Very often we come across companies which promise big but delivers small, this causes a trust deficit and eventually, leads to the downfall of the company. Hence, bite what you can chew in other words, promise what you can deliver. Setting the expectation is corollary of keeping the promises.

Mentor- Guru Dronacharya was the guru of both Kaurav and Pandav. The two groups of students were diametrically opposite to each other. Nevertheless, both groups were equally skilled in their respective arms, then there was Eklavya, who mastered all skills without any ‘Guru’ physically present to teach him. Big brands such as IITs NITs IIMs or big startup names who mentor young people can only impart them certain skills but how to use the skill totally depends on the mentee. Even if you don’t have any mentor you can still be like Eklavya. A good ‘leader’ has to be mentor to the young ones. Preparing the next in line leaders is the job of the leader. He or she should not create vacuum post retirement. In Mahabharat, when King Bharat decided to coronate the next King he chose none of his nine sons rather chose Bhumanyu. King Bharat gave importance to merit than to blood relation. But due to oath taken by Devrat, Shantanu gave priority to blood relation than merit, which eventually led to the downfall of Kingdom.

Parameters set apriori- In Mahabharat, King Dhritarashtra, wanted to make his son Duryodhan the next king. He asks the ministers for their opinion. Here the key take way is that a good leader in discussion will not fix the outcome and then decide the parameters to set prove his outcome correct, rather the parameters are set apriori. By doing so the leader sets the foundation of an unbiased discussion.    

A debt that we all have

I was thinking of writing this article on women’s day but I thought let us remember ‘nari shakti’ beyond the celebration day. Let us make it a convention of looking towards them with reverence even beyond the celebrated day. But, hey why do we even need to remind ourselves about the ‘nari shakti’? Aren’t we all in one way or the other surrounded by women? We are not taking about some project tiger where the agenda is to increase the number of tiger! We are everyday interacting with them in fact we are in this world because of a woman! So, certainly we need to change our outlook towards them.

I can say this with lot of conviction that it is NOT easy to be a woman. We men give lots of excuses for our failure. Many of us have appeared for IIT JEE or CAT or even for that matter board exams. Imagine you are in examination hall and you are having loose motions. I am sure we will give this as an excuse for not getting selected. Perhaps, we are not trained to perform in such situation. But don’t forget that there might be lakhs of female students who might have studied very hard, yet on the day of examination she might be having menstruation period. So, if the invigilator gives them an extra minute to write please don’t get offended.

The government has given a mandatory 24 weeks paid pregnancy leave. Sometimes, many in industry feel that it is too much a burden, but trust me that 6-month leave is nothing as compared to the pain that a woman goes through. Gaining 20+ kg of weight and then losing it brings a lot of changes in the body. They are doing it for the human race. We find it difficult even to loose belly fats forget about losing 20+ kg of weight! Every woman is different, some may need the maternity leave during the 6^th month of pregnancy some may need it in 9^th month. There can be a woman who may find it difficulty in working even as early as 3^rd month of pregnancy. Now, we cannot always look at government to make laws and implement it for every female welfare thing. We owe to our mother and sisters a huge debt that we can only be repaid by being soberer and kinder to our female colleague. We can give them less burden during pre and post pregnancy. We should not give them poor ratings due to this. I certainly believe that the female should have some extra casual leaves as compared to their male counterparts. It is very difficult for female to climb the corporate ladder because raising a child in itself is more than a full time job. Hence, the pain that the tradeoff causes is immense.

I knowingly did not cover female feticide, or startup funds for woman entrepreneurs. On all these topics I will be writing more in the form of advice while the above mentioned things can be implemented by many of us. There are many things that we can do, it is not that what suggestions I have given is sacrosanct. There are government agencies and many NGOs which are working on woman welfare, but with our small effort in offices we can at least initiate our ‘debt’ payment.     

Rise and rise of Narendra Modi

On 23^rd May- 2019, Narendra Modi created history. He has been winning elections since 2001. Perhaps the greatest self-made politician post-independence. One may agree or disagree with his policies but winning every election certainly requires a great chemistry with the people. Moreover, these wins are not in the era of booth capturing, all are in the millennia. With the advent of EVM, the democracy got strengthened in the hinterland. Cases of booth capturing reduced. The credit for this should also go to the tireless workers of Election Commission of India’s office. They are the real pillars of democracy. It is because of them free and fair election was possible in Bihar and Bengal.

Perhaps, what makes Modi a different leader is that he has travelled length and breadth of the country and this counts a lot. Take other example, Jagan Reddy was doing Padyatra for the last 5 years. Akhilesh Yadav in 2012 did some really good campaign management in the assembly election. He did cycle yatra. Compare that today when during LS -2019 election Akhilesh was only in AC busses, chartered flight and helicopter. To campaign only in UP I don’t think one needs all these stuffs. Having said that it is not the mode of campaign only that determines the success in election but other factors as well. Before 2001, Modi has travelled throughout the length and breadth of country and stayed almost in every district of India. This is a rare feat that you will find hardly in senior leaders across the party. It has given immense information about ground reality. Probably, it is this experience which helps in razor sharp implementation of many schemes such as Jan Dhan, Ujwala, Uday and many others.

In this election if you will analyze even the location of Modi’s rally you will find that they are strategically located. My own experience while travelling in the eastern UP has been shared with some of the friends’ time and again is that people for the first time believed there is a PM who can deliver. Previous govt too had Indira Awas Yojna, but the scale was very small and there is used to be rampant corruption. For the first time they are seeing scale. How will a person on ground buy the ‘chowkidar chor hai’ argument at ground level when they see that PM promised INR 6000 pa for farmers and they have received it without any corruption! Compare this with MNREGA were labours receive a fraction of promised amount! Had there been no Balakot attack still Modi would have won because of the delivery that the govt has done. More could have been done for investment and there may be many other issues were the govt could have done better but if we go by pareto principle then, we will find that govt did well.

Another issue in this election has been the role of media. There were many media houses which projected Rahul beyond his capacity. Imagine the person whom media thought was PM material lost his seat! It simply means that the media reporters were either blind or they deliberately projected him. Getting less seat is one thing but PM candidate losing his seat simply means that so called editorial writers are biased. Now, many channels are saying that Amethi was backward! Were these people blind pre 23^rd May? I wish media did exact scrutiny of Amethi as they did for Varanasi. Media did similar thing in 2014 when they tried to project Arvind Kejriwal as PM and the reality was AAP lost deposit in more than 400 seats! So that’s the level of analysis of the media. Coupta ji ( Shekhar Gupta, who infamously predicted military coup in 2013) finally in  a video has confessed that media deliberately closed its eyes and said there is no ‘wave’.

Many people are saying we need strong opposition. Well that is true. But it is the people who has given this kind of mandate. Hence accept it. Period.

When Trump became President people came out in protest! Now, this ploy is worst. If you don’t like any govt then go out and vote in against. After that accept the result. These modus operandi have been active in India too. Democracy is not in danger in Delhi were Arvind Kejriwal is having 67 MLAs out of 70! But if BJP won 303 then we need strong opposition! These thought is rubbish. You don’t vote to elect opposition. You vote to elect govt! Democracy is there in Delhi and will be in LS even if BJP wins 545 seats. So avoid fear mongering.

India is democratic country and has seen many governments both at state and central level so these whole ‘dictatorship’ issue is hokum. Its an affront to constitution if one believes so. Don’t believe what the so called ‘eminent’ or ‘padma’ journalists say that our democratic system will fail. It will remain intact no matter who come. And if you still don’t believe than I would suggest kindly, go through a book on Indian polity!

The reason Modi is winning because opposition is still countering in typical dynasty way by demeaning him, ridiculing him. This makes him stronger. A typical voter does not buy the argument that Modi is corrupt and opposition keeps on banging their head saying he is corrupt. Similarly, Manmohan Singh had an image that he is non-corrupt. Despite all the corruption in UPA-2 general public believed that he is non-corrupt. Hence, the BJP in 2014 attacked UPA on corruption not MMS. They accused MMS of being Bhishmapitamah and not acting in right way but none accused him of corruption.

For India to remain strong the dynasty must go. The party should be finished. Let another PVN come. Why do we need a family party? All major reforms in this country are done by non- Nehru- Gandhi family. Shastriji started green revolution, PVN brought economic reforms, MMS brought nuclear deal. Don’t forget that MMS threatened to resign for the deal that is why it happened. I have written previously also that the biggest crime by political party is not make people remain poor. INC has done that. The family run PMship was detrimental to the economy. Rajiv Gandhi’s short term loans lead to balance of payment crisis in 1991. Indira Gandhi’s regime in 1971 had 97% income tax! India didn’t use air force in 1962 war because ‘chacha’ ji felt it would escalate the war (Read the ‘Himalayan Blunder’)! May be for him India was in and around Delhi. This doesn’t mean that they haven’t done anything good but going by Pareto’s principle they haven’t.

To sum-up, the rise and rise of Narendra Modi is not chamatkar, rather it is the hard work that has paid off. I remember once Mohan Bhagwat said that we Indian have this ‘mai-baap’ mentality that somebody will come and help us out. We should come out of it. Modi will come and go but to make nation great to improve our lives we will have to work hard. Modi will not clean our house it is us who has to do it. In short, over reliance on govt should end. Believe in your ‘purusharth’ !  

Strategy to रणनीति.

Academic studies give us a good theoretical framework to apply in real world. These frameworks are dynamic in nature and comes with certain prerequisites, which are the back bone of underlying results. The prerequisites are similar to boundary layer equations of fluid mechanics in which any change in boundary layer equations will result in drastic change in end results. Similarly, while applying the frameworks in real life situations we should first understand the underlying condition which resulted in the framework formation. The beauty of running a business is that the situation keeps on changing and hence, one has to be dynamic enough to change accordingly.

The HBR case studies may not always be applicable in Indian scenario. Take for example, in US festive season and dates are fixed such as  25th Dec or 1st Jan but in India the dates of Durga Puja, Dhanteras and Deepawali are not fixed. From my business experience I can tell you that customers behave differently when all these festivals are in same month and when they are in different months! So the forecasting of demand with seasonality factor might not be that accurate in India than in US! Every 2nd or 3rd year Deepawali comes in the month of November but by the time you get your data very accurately, the economy has expanded by more than 7.5% CAGR which means that the per capita income has also increased represnting the consumer preferences has also changed. I believe here we will have to move from strategy to Indianised “ रणनीति”. The desi version of framework will incorporate all the local problems (in terms of fluid mechanics, boundary layer equations). From resource management to marketing, we have to take all B-schools learning with a pinch of salt.

The other major challenge that entrepreneurs face is the idea of India being a homogenized market. India is such a huge country that even though it is growing at 8% there are areas which may be growing at 15% while other may be at a meager rate of 3%. One should be at right place at right time to gain maximum from this growth story. Both start-ups and traditional businesses should understand the local traditions and diversity of different parts of India while expanding and extrapolating their local success. For example, the food preference in Gujarat is much different from that of North-East. Similarly, the success of certain automobile brands is also localized. If you are in event management business, then your business model has to be different in north and south India. Compare this with US where they have more or less a similar pattern in marriage celebration.

The major growth driver of our country are in fact few cities! Even the ease of doing business index is from big metro cities. The reason why we don’t have 10% plus growth is not due to lack of government support but due to excessive government interference. The day one can open a small shop in small cities of UP, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha etc without any government interference I will say we have improved in ease of doing business. For example, in UP, the taxes are same in Noida and Gorakhpur. If you want to set up an industry in Gorakhpur and want to buy land from Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority (GIDA, it is similar to NOIDA) on EMI then they will charge you whopping 15% interest rate! If you have more than 10 people working in your premises, then you will have to register in labour department! Moreover, if you want to construct a building in the city then you will have to face countless departments! Many things have changed by digitalization but it has to go a very long distance.

Things are changing rapidly. It is an important as well as exciting phase in the history of our country. The biggest positive change is that now profit is not sin. Doing business is not considered as bad by the society. As an entrepreneur I will say that I learn every day. As country we are poised to be at top and I don’t have any doubt on it. We have to keep up the fire. To all the people who want to do business I will suggest that be grounded and learn everything from everybody. Talk to your uber or ola driver, trust me they can give you good रणनीति. They might be weak in jargons but they will tell you the real pulse of the market. Remember to take a leap from strategy to रणनीति.

Everything w.r.t !

I was thinking, what is the most impactful word in any language? Of course there can be different answers for this question. After all it’s a ‘’subjective’’ question. Am I right? But what determines that subjectivity? Again it will be “your experience”, “your thought” so on and so forth. I found “my” answer not in philosophy or sociology but in physics. The word ‘with respect to’ or w.r.t is more powerful than any other word.

Now, read all the inverted commas in the above paragraph by keeping in mind “with respect to”. We develop our thought or anything “with respect to” something. This w.r.t is in our mind both explicitly and implicitly. Perhaps, education tries to make it more explicit and coherent so that it becomes predictable. This gives birth to another word “predictable”. Life is not easy!

Predictability is the single biggest pain in Physics or for that matter in any other subject. We all want to know what is in store in our future. We work hard to “predict” our future or in other words to reduce uncertainties. Uncertainty is the single biggest challenge. Einstein refused to believe this uncertainty while Heisenberg capitalized on it. The difference in views of both the great scientist was due to “w.r.t”! Einstein viewed the world of small with respect to the world of big! Human beings has been reducing uncertainties by minimizing risk or reducing uncertainties. It is precisely this activity which sets us apart from other organism. Perhaps, it is one of the reason how our species became dominant while others such as homo erectus or Neanderthals lost the race. The biggest challenge in any economic model is to make it more predictable. But economic models try to reduce the uncertainties by removing some of the “with respect to” (w.r.t) portion. This makes them constantly changing model. The input variable which is sometimes assumed to be constant tends to change in the long run.

This leads to another question, is 'constant' good? Or is status quo good? This can be answered looking at the quantum mechanics theory of uncertainty. Perhaps, things remain uncertain because of our inability to make it deterministic. Neither the atom nor the humans are having so called “Free will”. Free will is perhaps the integral of all our experiences. These experiences are always with respect to something. We may or may not be able to explicitly mention it but it does exist. Well, this was free will w.r.t to science. When free will is mentioned w.r.t economics it means the person decides his/her without any governmental influence. Now, back to the status quo question, is it good or bad? Imposition of it is bad. Since status quo can be changed by the integral of various small steps. For eg; earth appears to be flat but if one takes the integral of all the spaces it becomes a spherical similarly for a giant ship it will take a lot of time to turn. Similarly, imposition of status quo is against natural instinct of change. The basis of any advertisement is that we don’t have free will i.e we get influenced! In fact there is a ratio for cuteness too. Disney exploits it in a better way. They design the cartoons to appear cute and attract people.

Its interesting to relate uncertainties with capitalism! Capitalism increases randomness because more and more people are empowered, but this will increase the level of uncertainty. Hence, should we follow socialism or communism? The answer is big NO! Because this randomness is good as it brings creativity and new thoughts. Compare this with socialism or communism where the government is all in all, this reduces or perhaps, kills creativity. Now in this case all the risk is in a single basket of creativity, compare this with capitalism where risk is averted by having n numbers of baskets of creativity. Socialism or communism is like maintaining the status-quo. Sooner or later this will be challenged. They are in fact counter-intuitive.

In fact the cognitive dissonance can also be explained with the word “with respect to”! The input item in the case of cognitive dissonance was also not constant for long run. This created a shift in “w.r.t” portion of the initial decision! Jisko constant soocha wo to variable nikla! This shifts the “w.r.t”!

Entropy and evolution

Sometimes I find that entropy and evolution are the visible realities of the world. The more we read about it and try to implement it in our life the more predictable things become. When I say to implement it I mean to implement the principles of evolution and entropy. This basically means by looking at the fossils we can predict what changes we can expect in the future or by measuring how fast the entropy of a system is increasing we can expect the failure of the system.

But the question remains how to implement it in our life or how far is it true. Well, regarding the reliability of entropy and evolution I can vouch that these are scientific laws and are valid in any universe.  It is all about improving the efficiency of the system. It is because of this efficiency we have redundant organs in our body such as appendicitis. In the same way we try to reduce heat loss in various thermodynamic systems.

An organization is too like an organism the only difference with biological evolution is that here organizations doesn’t take millions of years to evolve. An organization which response to outside environment stubbornly tends to remain laggard while those tends to flow with the change remains successful. But the question now comes how to know that the change is in the air and even if one knows then how to implement it. Well, I believe the flow of information in an organization is what genes to an organism; the greatest anti-body for flow of information is bureaucracy or our desi babugiri. This curtailed flow of information creates a false ‘feel good factor’. Arun Shourie once said that by becoming minister politicians tends to think that traffic problem is solved! Even in industry when the top officials don’t interact with the ground workers they tend to enjoy the illusion and there are very rare officers who blatantly say that the emperor is naked(it’s a story about an emperor , you can read it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes) In such condition it is only the honest officers who suffer. To run a company successfully it is very much required to interact with the lowest staff to know the ground reality.  I can sum-up the whole paragraph in this hindi doha  “निंदक नियरे राखिए, ऑंगन कुटी छवाय, बिन पानी, साबुन बिना, निर्मल करे सुभाय।‘’

 

In the book ‘how Toyota became world number 1’ the author has mentioned a very unique and remarkable characteristic of one of its CEO that the CEO changed the location of his cabin in such a way that he has to pass through the assembly line to reach his cabin. This helped in creating a positive environment for the workers. The CEO used to have his lunch with people in the normal canteen and frequently interacted with them.  Similarly, one can find that the governments usually frame policy without having much interaction with ground workers. We usually hear that the government has spent so and so amount but we hardly here about the ground reality of the amount spent; let me give you a better example, we hear that the government has released tender for so and so road project. In reality most of the projects gets delayed due to various bureaucratic issues such as land acquisition or improper compensation.  These perpetual delays are hardly highlighted by the media, they go more by the headline statement that is how much tender the government has awarded.

I believe capitalist society with democracy and maximum individual freedom represents that thermodynamic system which has least entropy. Well, the term maximum individual freedom is indeed debatable but at least one can strive for it. No matter what system you try to build it will try to move towards the system mentioned in first sentence. USSR and East Germany are some of the example which has finally accepted the reality and has more or less aligned with capitalist society. Sooner or later China too will have to realign itself. China is part communist though it has opened up its market it is yet to accept democracy. Democracy with capitalism weeds out the inefficient from the system. The more we compromise with the ‘maximum individual freedom’ the more we breed inefficiency. Take for example congress party was a different party during PVN Rao’s time. The contempt for democracy and sycophancy has reduced it to a very inefficient political party. This democracy and maximum individual freedom applies to even the corporate world. A company that is not open to suggestion from its employees will eventually leady to shoddy product resulting in the downfall of the company. Again the catch is the ‘maximum individual freedom’, the way the definition changes for a company will eventually determine its success.

So far we are done with evolution and entropy; the combined effect of two produces foresightedness. There are ‘critical junctures’ in everybody’s life, corporation and even nations. In 1947, two countries got independent and both countries had the same military training yet one became democratic while the other still lags behind with frequent military rule(sometimes even militant rule!). We are like this not because Nehru was very good (he may or may not be I am not going in that debate) or other PMs were super awesome rather because of institution guaranteed by our constitution. Similarly, after separation of church and state UK, USA Canada and other protestant society progressed even though Italy , Spain and Portugal took the lead in early 14^th 15^th century. This foresightedness is actually the summation of many critical junctures that occur in a country or in an organization. Xerox company in spite being first one to develop mouse and word could not took the lead in PC industry. Kotak developed the digital camera yet lost the race! Blackberry, Nokia Sony Walkman and many others are the perfect example for foresightedness.

At last I would like to end with a paradox of my analogy ‘’if entropy becomes zero then the system will stop working’’! Enjoy physics J

Status quo challenged

It’s been a very long time since I have written a blog, I usually write when I usually don’t find such views written or appreciated widely. Since my last blog many things has happened from surgical strike to demonetisation to Dhoni’s retirement and so on and so forth. Our country is changing very rapidly; this makes me remember my college days. I joined NIT Surat in 2007. By the time I passed out in 2011 the college was going through a facelift. I was fortunate enough to see the REC era infra as well as the new infra. Perhaps, our generation is lucky enough to have seen the DD1 era as well as the cable TV era. From ‘humara bajaj’ to new age KTM or RE bikes we have seen a lot. We can compare and contrast the change. We have seen how our parents after working for more than a decade or two were in a position to buy their first car, contrast this with our generation capable of buying a car within four to five years. From ‘Rangoli’ (DD National program) to MTV to modern day Youtube we have seen the transition and can feel it.

I have always written how our economic policies pre 1991 were responsible for backwardness. The biggest crime is to keep people poor through the government policies. Communist are hands down champion in it. But things are changing lately. Elitism is falling apart. Inefficiency is now more the status quo. The steady state is disturbed. It is clearly written on the wall that from now small town will give you enough competition. There was a time when more than five players from Indian cricket team used to be from Mumbai, then came a guy from a small town and went to become the captain of Indian cricket team! Narendra Modi was opposed both within the party and of course from ‘lutyens delhi’. He went to win a historical general election. This unprecedented victory put the last nail in the coffin of ‘dynasty politics’ and ‘elite of lutyens delhi’. With no family background of politics and having been worked away from Delhi, Narendra Modi was unfit to become the PM as per the definition of ‘lutyens delhi’.

A rebel against the media was slowly working against the elite of Delhi’s bazaru media. A person from Assam was giving a tough fight to the thick skinned English journalist with high profile connections. Arnab Goswami has changed the face of English media with his new channel. We need not agree with all his views but he has certainly forced other channels to change the narrative make them more aligned with the national interest. With recently released TRP rating his channel was ranked as the most viewed English news channel in India. Arnab Goswami also represents that national news channel is not the sole proprietary of select few from north India rather it can be taken over by anybody from any part of India. The tectonic shift in news base from Delhi to Mumbai has already recorded a heavy earthquake in the field of news media. If he can start reporting from remote parts of India it will be a giant leap forward in re-establishing faith in media.

Bahubali has done a remarkable work for the Indian film industry. It has broken the shackles of giant elephant called the Indian film industry. The elephant has woken up and is now slowly recognizing its potential. We have seen enough craps from Kapoors, Chopras and Johars. It has set a new bar that if your story is good then people will watch it in all languages. Compare the wonderful movie ‘Raanjhnaa’ with ‘Chennai Express’. Dhanus was splendid while SRK reached the nadir with such a rubbish movie. Bahubalí’s success is not mere monetary it represents the dissent against the dynasty culture in each and every sector. It represents the tectonic shift in elitists below average work which was taken for granted for acceptance.  The success of Dangal represents the aspiration of small towns and cities.

Today, Major Gogoi is treated as hero and whole nation stands for his action. Mr Gogoi ,a Son of small farmer from Assam represents all those young people from small cities who want to work hard and aspire to reach at top. People are no longer buying the leftist crap of luteyns Delhi.

The day internet became into being the exclusivity of select few came to be eclipsed. Today I can write what I feel and it can be read by anyone. Imagine few decades back people had to buy the crap of editorials written in newspaper. You and I could not disagree by writing a different opinion in the newspaper. But things have changed now, anyone can pen down their opinion now. Twitter came as a biggest boon for millions of people who disagreed with narrative presented in newspaper or on TV channels. Everyday thousands of people expose the hypocrisy of so called ‘neutral journalists’. No doubt journalists who enjoy an unparalleled freedom of speech want to curb the voices of dissidents on twitter!

Vijay Shekhar Sharma naam to suna hi hoga has changed the way we do transaction with his company, Paytm. Its written on the wall very clearly that dynasty culture and elitist culture of select few will change and it is changing. So enjoy you are living in a very different era!

JAI HIND !
