In the past, I have been accused(?) of writing a depressing blog. I have been wanting to post a response for a while now. But the immediate trigger for this post was Anu's comment to my previous post. Anu, I think I should clarify my perspective.
As difficult as it might be for some to believe, my posts are borne out of hope. But to hope for something better, one needs to acknowledge the truth. Shying away from the truth will never lead to even a semblance of lasting happiness. This blog is an attempt to find and accept such truths - and to then explore the hope of improving things.
To quote from The Shawshank Redemption: "hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."
And there sure are a lot of reasons to feel hopeful. A few that come to my mind right now (in no particular order):
1. DSF
2. ADR
3. Parivartan
4. PostSecret (Warning: Disturbing and graphic pictures)
5. Gandhi
6. HelpToLive
7. Chennai Food Bank

5 Value-adds:
if you quote Anbesivam dialogues, do translate it to english. Else I would be missing out on them.
Translation:
Don't be so unbelieving and speak atheism. The world has a lot of such Gods. We just can't see/don't know them. Believe in them.
:) Beautiful post.
But i would like to clarify that i do not find your posts depressing. You chose the right word to describe the base in your content - Hope. It comes across clearly. I do read many "whiny" blogs. Yours is not one.
Avi, my mistake. But I see Chilli has done a much better job than I possibly could have.
And Anu, I was not implying that you were one of the accusers. But yes, thanks for the compliments.

In this modern world the art of Management has become a part and parcel of everyday life, be it at home, in the office or factory and in Government. In all organizations, where a group of human beings assemble for a common purpose irrespective of caste, creed, and religion, management principles come into play through the management of resources, finance and planning, priorities, policies and practice. Management is a systematic way of carrying out activities in any field of human effort.
Its task is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their weaknesses irrelevant, says the Management Guru Peter Drucker. It creates harmony in working together - equilibrium in thoughts and actions, goals and achievements, plans and performance, products and markets. It resolves situations of scarcity, be they in the physical, technical or human fields, through maximum utilization with the minimum available processes to achieve the goal. Lack of management causes disorder, confusion, wastage, delay, destruction and even depression. Managing men, money and materials in the best possible way, according to circumstances and environment, is the most important and essential factor for a successful management.
