Review: The Mahabharata Secret by Chris Doyle

Review: The Mahabharata Secret by Chris Doyle

This is a very gripping read written deftly by the writer Chris Doyle. It’s about a scientist being part of the unknown secret community of 9, killed by the non-state actors of our neighboring country. This group (who carries illicit activities) hungers the secret of Mahabharata badly for their personal motives.

It talks about the secret saved and stored 2300 years ago by Asoka and Surasen courtier of Asoka the great. There have been many parvas written about Mahabharata and there is one which is not documented anywhere in the world. It is believed that this secret was used by the King of Magdha to kill Pandavas but the war ended before this secret was used.

Well back to the core story- Vijay cousin of Vikram Singh( Scientist killed who had the secret) leaves a trail of emails. Vijay deciphers these emails and that leads him to the secret and to his love during the journey.

Hope I have not revealed the secret and would urge to read this.

An Experience to Experience

                                            An Experience to Experience
J This is not an article about globetrotter reaching a destination.
But surely this is an (generic) employee’s   experience during notice period.  Does employee’s become too casual in approach once the resignation button is pressed? Does the responsibility vanish?  Is the interest lost?

Employer is more skeptical in earmarking responsibilities to the employee who has resigned.
Employers are keener on creating a backup or doling out the responsibility to other team members.
So what happens if the responsibility is taken from the employee (who has resigned) and given to other team member? Obviously employee interest, motivation to do the role, which impacts the deliverables!

In turn employer complains of the person not doing work to the mark, and eyebrows are raised toward employee of losing interest. Employer drills down to the point that the employee was a bad hire.

Well, this does not happen in all the cases, but in some farewell treats, gifts are just formalities?
Employer is really not happy about an employee and if there is not high dependency then should permit an early release.

There is an old maxim, "Love your job but don't love the company you work for, because you may not know when your company stops loving you". ... Steve Finnell

Does this hold true?

In turn employee, who is not so outspoken, once presses the resignation button, observed that the behavior changes completely. Starts speaking very upfront as he/she does not care about the present employer and this may create a bad belief in the mind of employer?

Even employee has to be extra cautious working in notice period. He/ She should not stray from routine line items.Has to be more mindful of the leaves, breaks, on time delivery of assignment, reaching office on time, leaving for the day as per schedule etc. . . .

Employee has to avoid working in a lackadaisical manner and stop calling “Notice period” as “Time pass”. They are equivalently responsible till the last working day as they were hitherto.
Employers have to aware as the employees create a brand image of the organization outside.

Attrition is part of the routine and both employer and employee have to part happily.

Note: This does not intend to any employer- it just a generic article. This article was written 2 years back- publishing it now :)

Who moved my cheese?

                                  Who moved my cheese?

It is a great anecdote by author Spencer Johnson  !
It teaches you lesson of life & deal which changes happening around in personal or professional life.
It teaches you not to be complacent. Here Cheese is used a metaphor, you may correlate in your lives with personal achievements or professional success.
It is a story of 4 characters- Sniff & Scurry, Hem & Haw !
In the event of finding their cheese in a maze it thought them to fight with their fears and many other things, to find out other things..... I would recommend to read it  !

Overall a good read ....

Cheers

FIFA 2014 Germany Vs Portugal review

FIFA 2014

Germany Vs Portugal or was it Germany strategy Vs C Ronaldo.

Another fantastic match of soccer. Germany beat Portugal 4-0.Pepe head-butted Muller. Pepe shown red card.

German strategy of short passes proved worth against one man show Portugal. It seemed Portugal‘s reliability on Ronaldo cost them the match. Germans with their defending strategy greased the wheels for them.  Muller’s heroics were cheered in whole of Germany by their fanatic fans. Muller’s 3 goals out of the 4 scored by Germany sets the tone for the rest of the tournament. Without star player Germans proved how one can win match by a successful strategy. You don’t need star players to win matches.

Pepe being a senior player showed immaturity by head-butting Muller eventually shown red card. Portugal had their chances, but could not pull it off. Did it show lack of confidence or lack of practice?

Poor show by Portugal Goal-keeper adding to the injury.

After a penalty was not called on Portugal’s behalf, Ronaldo became incensed. He ran after a referee, pleading his case. USA TODAY Sports’ Mike Foss pointed out, “No one else on the planet would get away with acting like that towards a referee, Cristiano.”


Long way to go for the tournament let see if we see a turnaround.
