India And Feminism

Society is going through an intense battle. It is battle of equality or supremacy of a gender. This battle is being fought at every family unit. Feminism is a fast evolving concept. In India, girls are proving themselves in fields like competitive exam or sports. It is where competition is fair. Places where practices are not fair like corporates, judiciary, bollywood, or politics, it is still difficult for a woman to rise. She has to compromise a lot like her time, emotion, or even body to grow. #metoo was recent revolution which has exposed this dirty secrets across the world.

Productivity Hacks

Life is getting very fast nowadays. Making it productive is a challenge. Everything needs consistent focus. Disruptions in time and focus are common. Mail, unwanted phone call, or social media alerts are common disrupter. Focus span is reducing for individuals. In world of multitasking, we do complete normal routine work. But excellence demand a passion. No one wants to see long videos or long forward. Even movies we see now in fast forward. 

HR Function Audit

HR professionals are human engineers. They are supposed to be expert in people motivation, fear and engagement. Their policies must be aligned to organization need and goals. Based on specific organization culture or politics, they mould their policies. We are seeing almost all organizations have chosen to benchmark polices of leaves, gender laws, diversity, events, or organization structure or levels.

For an outsider (other than HR professional) like me, many of their decisions look strange.

Why perception matters??

We all saw Smith and Warner cried in press conference. Crime was violation of ethics. These Australian cricketers had violated their perception to win game by right ethics. It sounds strange the anger among Australia for their act. Not every Australian lives on values and ethics. Is it just Smith and Warner’s responsibility to protect country’s image.

We expect good people to do more good. We punish even the slightest deviation. If a bad man does smallest good, people respect him for it. For example, if a corrupt politician does good act with a poor. We treat him as god.

Data Security - Does it matter ?

I had a mix view earlier. Now I am realizing its a big threat. Facebook recent data sharing to political parties and targeted attack in favour about one party or candidate. It is non ethical and condemable act.

It is true that nothing is free in this world. Google, Facebook, or other social media companies wants our FOCUS. Our telephone numbers are being sold. Sales men of telecom , real estate and banking companies have my number as category of > 10 lakh income. They call all the time for loan , sale, or telecom operator swapping.

Future Ideas – Legal mess

Justice is becoming illusion in modern society. Laws are outdated. Courts are full cases. Hardly any case get time. Enforcement agencies like Police, tax officials, traffic constables are busy in making money.

Justice and courts are dependent on evidences. Laws of 1800 can’t work now. Lawmakers are too busy in winning elections. In end, a common man is suffering and being forced to compromise. Law is only supporting crime by delaying justice.

Love Triangles

Hindi cinema loves love-triangle. Love is complex. It becomes more so, if it is in a triangle. By triangular love story, I mean, one person is being seduce by two lovers at a time. Common sense says that way he /she/object will get two times love/gifts/ or benefits. But effect is opposite. He/she becomes biggest loser in end. Let's take some example.

Common family situation is when a husband gets in between mother and wife. Both loves him. As soon as he comes closer to one, another attracts him. In end, both mother and wife make him football.

Future Ideas – Block chain simplified

Trust is precious. All trust pillars like banks, government, or temples charge huge money for every transaction. It is also manual, isolated and vulnerable to hacking. Let’s take two simple examples – Flat sale between two people needs lease deed documents and whole day of government harassment. Or, take letter of credit (LC), when two banks are involved, just to give comfort to a buyer and seller. Government or bank are trust pillars and changes in these institutions are difficult because of excessive controls.
