Comments on "IISC incident shows Indian Sciences's Succes"-headlines of Business Line

The attack at the IISc does not appear to have been targeted at any scientist but generally at the IT industry for which Bangalore is best known. If, as is suspected, a jihadi group is involved, it could be, besides political and religious reasons, with an economic angle. Perhaps, the attack is symbolic — at an important source of foreign exchange earnings, keep foreign IT companies away from India and impact the stock market, which attracts considerable overseas funds.

It is a symbol of the success of Indian science and technology, of our emergence as a knowledge power that the symbols and temples of our knowledge society, are today being targeted by terrorists

The question is not what needs to be done in IISc or other such strategic or symbolic places in India. The question is does India have a comprehensive Counter Terrorist policy in place. All arms of the government needs to co-ordinate and appropriate measures taken, this will include our diplomatic efforts, our intelligence gathering policy, intelligence sharing, and communication to non-government agencies, apart from stricter measures in security. Counter Terrorism is to be viewed as a whole, and not as a function that is to be discharged by mere security agencies.

Why did the persons responsible for the December 28 incident target the scientists attending an international conference? It does not appear to have been a targeted attempt to kill any particular scientist though media reports speak of the presence of some space scientists at the conference. South India, in general, and Bangalore, in particular, not only have a large concentration of IT experts, but also famous scientists.

The attacks show that Bangalore, Hyderabad & Chennai are the prime targets of the attackers because they are the symbols of the India’s technological might.

The country is waking up to a new reality - its success in IT and concomitant economic boom has excited malice in certain quarters, who would like to attack symbols of that success.

Adaptability and Understanding

Adaptability is becoming a hallmark of effective performance at all levels and types of organizations. As complexity rises within the internal and external environments that organizations operate within, it is no longer acceptable to be able to perform well when things go as expected; instead individuals, teams, and organizations must be able to continuously adapt their knowledge and skills in order to remain competitive in environments which are fluid, often ambiguous, and where multiple pathways to goal attainment exist. Adaptability is not limitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation.

Effective performers in today's organizations are those who anticipate future needs and adapt to changing job requirements by learning new tasks, technologies, procedures and roles

Acting with planfulness, whether in the face of discontent or not, decreases the likelihood that one will feel a sense of personal crisis when experiencing a career transition.

Career-resilient people are likely to engage in self-development activities that will enable them to take advantage of opportunities .And success in managing role changes, aided by development activities. May it be at any level individual, team or an organization of a whole, Understanding is what is needed at any stage of career for the better of it. It is noteworthy that they emphasized that transition and change should be viewed as natural and inevitable, not as detours in one's life.

During periods of discontinuous, abrupt change, the essence of adaptation involves a keen sensitivity to what should be abandoned - not what should be changed or introduced. A willingness to depart from the familiar has distinct survival value.

Occupational problems have negative consequences across life domains, yet relatively little research addresses the psychological resources necessary for the adult career transition.

Evaluate yourself with illustrations on "Are you a leader or a follower"

Everyone is a born leader. Who can deny that from the moment of birth we take multiple roles like leading parents, siblings, and companions as we grow. Watch a baby cry and the parents jump. We were all born leaders; that is, until we were compelled to go to school and taught to be managed and to manage.
“When we think we lead we are most led”
In the deepest sense, distinction between leaders and followers is meaningless. In every moment of life, we are simultaneously leading and following. There is never a time when our knowledge, judgment, and wisdom are not more useful and applicable than that of another. There is never a time when the knowledge, judgment, and wisdom of another are not more useful and applicable than ours. At any time that "other" may be superior, subordinate, or peer.
I think, conditions can only test a person whether he is a leader or a follower, and the judging ability of the person makes him a leader/follower. You need to be a follower if you want to be a leader.
A significant part of effective leadership is the close connection between the leader and the follower, which often determines the success of the leader’s mission.

Unfortunately, this leader-follower relationship cannot be created according to some simple formula

Enumerate on the criteria for the evaluation of your skills.

I think I can be at my best under critical conditions, and need not be the same with everyone, it can be other wise.

Being punctual is one my assets in doing the work. I think when you are punctual every thing will come in your way.

Working hard and in a smart way makes my life much easier than others.

Marriage is a personal or social affair-Discuss.

I personally think that marriage is a personal affair.

Before going into the topic I want to make the meanings of “personal affair” and “private affair”. These are relative terms and may vary from occasion to occasion. In English no word is perfect in its meaning and the word convey its sense depending on the other person who perceives it, like some people may like what I say and others may not. So, personal and social affairs are no exemption.

Marriages are purely personal affairs, in which each and every member of the family comes together and enjoy themselves. Personal affairs again may vary like some people may think that is their personal thing and some people think that is their family’s thing i.e., each and every one has the role to play which is not the case with the former one. Marriages from Indian point of view some may think as a social affair and some may not. In East, it’s purely their personal matter.

Going back to our roots, where marriage is celebrated as a social affair, where each and every one in that village or from that locality comes and enjoy the occasion. Buts its not case today. Every thing changes with time and we to need to change and every one should respect others feelings.

I consider festivals and days of national importance as social affairs. Social affairs are meant for several reasons like to bring people together from different communities together and tie them together under a common tag like for example our Independence day, where we, the Indians celebrate it, forgetting all other things, the only thing that strikes in our mind is that we are INDIANS.

Finally I want to conclude the topic by saying that marriage purely personal thing.

Was giving eighteen-year-olds the right to vote a mistake?

Being in a democratic country every one has the right to vote. But what makes a person to understand the value of the power he is given? Definitely the level of mental maturity comes to the scene and this makes the person more wise and think how to use the power. At this point, the age also counts. For example, if you have to plan your days work schedule, a boy with about 18 years of age and a person with 22 years of age will think differently and they plan accordingly. But what is the main difference that you will come across between these two persons? Its going to be their level of maturity that counts again. When you are at home, your parents will think about your future and they will plan every thing for you. Her we wont say anything against them because we think that, they will judge the situation in a more better way.

The same thing comes to picture when it is the case of a nation. To be practical you need to more careful, because the social conditions and every thing prevailing definitely influence your way of life.

In my view, giving right to vote for eighteen years old is a mistake. I think it should be increased. This is done by the politicians for their own use. If the age is decreased the number of people who vote increases and politician takes most use of this.
In our country most of the population is situated in rural areas and most of them are uneducated where most of the people don’t know how to vote and why voting is done. At the age of eighteen no body is matured, no body is interested in politics, and if they have a right to vote they may not able to judge who the correct person to vote is. This may cause wrong person to be elected .He might only do the things which are beneficial to him and not beneficial to any other people.
At the age of eighteen people may not have any idea about the politics and politicians, since in our country most of the population is in rural areas. Politicians go to the rural areas to attract the people there. There, the people just believe them blindly and vote them without even thinking whether what they are doing is right or wrong. In these cases it is not correct to make right to vote at the age of eighteen and hence it should be increased.
If the age of right to vote is increased. People are more matured than they are at eighteen and they have some information about politics, why voting is done. They wont believe any politician blindly, they vote to the person who they think might be helpful to them. Then the politicians cannot take the advantage of rural people. This is a good sign for the country and the people living in the country.
Hence I conclude that the age for voting should be increased to Twenty two years old.

angry with your boss

Helping in any way will help you in your future. But while helping you should not expect any favor from others.

Coming back to the given situation, when you are working as a subordinate you will come across such situations very often, like people taking the advantage of your work or skills.

At this point of time he is my boss, and he takes all the credit of what I’m today in the company. And times may come where you are in the situation of your boss now, even mastering the skills like logical organization and clear writing style, you find it difficult to write it by your self and you start delegating the task to your subordinates. There is nothing wrong in doing that.

So finally, what really matters to me is my work, and the feedback that I’m getting from my boss.

Welcome

I welcome you all to our company here in the United States of America. It’s high time we shook hands in person and not just across the sea. I’m pleased about getting to know you all, and I will do my level best to make you all successful here.

Memo

It has come to my attention that many of you are lying on your time cards. I wont tolerate this type of cheating, I have no choice, but to institute a time-clock system. From next Monday, all employees will have to punch in and punch out when ever they come and go from the work area.

The time clock will be right at the entrance of your workplace, and it will take care of your timings. Any one who is late, should give an explanation.

Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.

Analyzing someone’s strengths and weakness will be very funny, because it’s not yours
.
I heard about analyzing ones own strengths and weakness, but I never did that. It is very difficult to analyze our own strengths and weakness. Assessing Your Weaknesses? Probably the most dreaded part of the question. Everyone has weaknesses, but who wants to admit to them.

Strengths as a speaker:
1. As a speaker, I do a lot of home work before the speech.
2. I will try for real time examples while explaining the critical issues on a given topic.
3. I would like to be precise and concise with the topic I am presenting.
4. I will concentrate more on statistical facts and.

Weakness as a speaker:
1. I would become nervous when facing a large audience.
Strengths as a writer
2. I’ll try to give a brief idea about the whole thing. Introduction.
3. First I will frame the sentences in the mind and then I will put onto the paper.
4. As I have some creative skills it could help me out to write some essays.
5. Adding examples to the topic, in reference with the current topics i.e., latest happenings.

Weakness as a Writer:
1. I’m not good at vocab.
2. Don’t fine good sentences to present it in a great manner.
3.Repetition happens mostly in my writings in one way or the other way.
