Corporate rules the globalize (d) world.

I worked for a big corporate, say a monopoly; I was wondering how a corporate functions or how a day-to-day complicated business activities happen slickly? Knowing that it is not one person’s effort alone, but what regulates or directs the interdependence of groups of men or labourers.

The same I wondered for society or a nation.

Below extracts helped me to see things differently
“People work for each other without knowing each other, without inquiring about another’s needs, in the hope, and even with the assurance, that their relations will somehow regulate themselves. And by and large they do, or rather, were wont to.”

Touching tale!

I found this touching tale over at Muslim Refusnik:
Two Arabs boarded a flight out of London. One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat. Just before take-off, a U.S. Marine sat down in the aisle seat. After take-off, the Marine kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I need to get up and get a Coke.""Don't get up," said the Marine. "I'm in the aisle seat. I'll get it for you."As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marine's right shoe and spat in it.When the Marine returned with a Coke, the other Arab said, "That looks good. I'd really like one, too." Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone, the other Arab picked up the Marine's left shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened."Why does it have to be this way?" he asked. "How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in Cokes?"

Drama & Theatre / Plays

I like theatre plays, to be particular 'modern plays with a social message'.
Now a days not many good plays are seen..


Shakespeare said it rather more elegantly
" Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

What are you?


If you believe in the philosophy of ‘service to humanity’, whether you’ll live for it or die for it?

"What do the dangers or the sacrifices of a man or of a nation matter, when the destiny of humanity is at stake."
