Man who Invented Management

Linking an article on Peter F Drucker ! If Freud explored the Human mind and Bono formalized the process of thinking - Drucker chose something that needs both in abundance !

If rational thinking isnt as rare in reality , everyone understood everyone else and each of us is soaked in Management Principles to be applied to self and relations!

World will be so much bliss to live in!! What say guys ?

Enjoy the article !

A week that was..

31 October , 7.20pm , Kabini
----------------------------

After a 4 hour long jungle journey ( ok , safari ) , I realized the India was playing another ODI with SL that day and called up my friend to figure out the result. With perceptible excitement , he tells me about Dhoni's 10 sixes and 183 and India winning the match ! .. " Hmm.. Okay " I said..

"Did you notice something ?" I asked myself in a tone of surprise!!

On another day , missing cricket with a 183 on this side stuffed with 10 sixes would've brought me down to my kneels.. Only then did I realize that I'm having hell of a good time out there and didnt flinch a bit of having missed cricket.

Bringing on a huge smile , I hear the the support staff's voice " Sir , would you like to come over to the Campfire? Dinner is served right next to it " ! Whew!!

Assembled at the campfire were a few chilled out souls ! and a few moments with them revealed that one of them is GM , HP ( Hmm.. Big shot - I thought ) and other was a businessman by profession and a globe trotter by passion!! He slowly brought out his stories of how he saw about a few hunders of Lions in Africa and how interesting it was to see a Kill in Kenya forests! ( Ah.. that made me long for longer hauls for trips!! ) .. And the GM dude brought back the regular lunch time topics .... said.. "so, what do you think about the rains in bangalore?" .. Uh..what ?
"Not so good! " I said out loud thinking about the topic , but that seem to have answered his original question!

Quickly found an escape route from that topic - to the dinner table and just wanted to be silent ( without the finger on lips ! - for the school kids reading this ) and enjoy the dinner in midst of lanterns and next to the fire. Realized that each one of us in the family felt the same way .. They're lost in their world.. looking around and fingers doing their job of stuffing the fuel into the body..!!
"Wonder what everyone is looking at ? I dont see much around..!! It's already dark - I thought" .. only that after a couple of minutes I'm doing the samething!


With food emptied and fingers tirelessly searching - we're forced into this world and realized it's 9 pm already and cold breeze is begging for attention .. drawing us closer to the fire again and enjoy the warmth in the cold !!

< fast forward .. > 4x..

Feeling sleepy .. eyes rolled towards my watch without much effort or thought !! Damn!! It's only 10pm.. and I'm feeling sleepy already ??

Wanted to stay awake longer.. for the next day marks my return back into the world!!

36x..

6 am.. When was the last time I woke up at 6 in the morning ? Google might've found it challenging to get that answer..

Suddenly dawned to me that I wanted to jog and within no time , was moving around next to the river!! 15 min was too long for me to continue ! After all, you cant do it all once :) ! Rushed back as if there's no tomorrow , a quick shower and a hot cuppa coffee was waiting while I figured that eyes were completely neglecting the cup , and kept rolling around ! ( Didnt I ever see water & trees before ? - asked myself , nevertheless enjoying the sight ) . No , it wasnt a "who can roll eyes faster to complete 360 degrees ?" competition! But , not that I've control over it !!



'Warm'ing up to the day ! Posted by Picasa

Hypnotic !!

Coffee was enjoying it's stint being deliberately consumed and the elements revealing shades which were not bestowed upon on a different day!

flip..flip.. Coffee was consumed! So was the time !!

Time to pack up and back off !! With a thank you note to Mother Nature !!

< fast forward .. > 240x ..
