32 Random Acts of Kindness

04th March 2016: A Birthday Present to self as I turn 32

Dear Friends, This is my last post from blogger space. I am thankful to blogger for providing  me this public space to express my emotions on this public sphere. Please visit my website http://www.narendragupta.in/ to know about my works and read my latest write-ups. God Bless. Thank you!!

I really wish this post finds you in the best of your health. This Birthday as I turn 32, thought of treating myself with some thing generous, something noble. The best gift that came to mind was performing 32 Random Acts of Kindness (and jotting them in my journal). Well, amidst busy work life I hardly get time to go out to places where I would have more options to perform my act. In this purview, I decided to record even the smallest acts in a period of 4 days to treat myself with this special gift. I have scanned the log from my journal and am putting in this public sphere. I hope and really wish some of you get inspired to continue the same on your Birthdays. In a way, I am putting a genuine challenge before all of you. No matter how small, any thing done for well being of others adds to your karmic account which is way more powerful than balance in your bank account.

With Best Wishes and Lot of Love!

Work Culture is critical to the growth of an Organization

Dear Friends, work culture in an organization has a lot to do with how its workforce shapes up and whether it produces more of leaders or just managers with limited vision or what I call the plastic mindset people. An organization will never grow where mistakes and failures are punished, where creativity, doing things differently is discouraged, where there is culture of more and more of sticks and least or none of carrots, where there is polluted and dirty bureaucracy, where there is culture of blame games, where naive employees are easily targeted, where there are more managers than real doers, where employees are made (rather dragged) to work 14-15 hours a day to chase some foolish target set by completely insensitive higher-ups just to win a bid over competitor completely ignoring the personal lives of their employees, where work and goals have preference over health of employees, where working outside the work hours is set as a benchmark and a normal expectation and where human values are least respected. 

With Best Wishes,

Narendra Gupta
