Ideas
about arts
The
Mahabharata and the Gita could soon be an inspiration for many
managers and businessmen. Professor Arindam Chaudhuri, dean of Indian Institute
of Planning & Management (IIPM), Delhi, has picked up threads from these
two epics and built the ‘Leadership Success Multiplier’
model of his ‘I’ Management (India-specific management) theory
(which he has so far been teaching to corporate managers and CEOs through
management consultancy workshops) to pen it down in his forthcoming book,
Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch.
Reading
your future from palm leaves
DOES your name begin with a syllable ‘Pa’ or does it have three
syllables? If your answer is in the negative, then the palm leaf is turned
and the exercise is repeated. And then the reader of the palm leaves zeroes
in on the correct number of syllables and pronounces your name. You tell
yourself that this bloke must have heard someone calling out to you in
the hall and so just faked it. Wait. Next, he tells your mother’s
name and you are slightly jolted. And then your family tree. That’s
when you sit up.
Message
in the flute
MUSIC can really bring people of different views together. And for a change
the legislators of Uttar Pradesh, famous for creating a rumpus in the
Assembly, were found sitting together to listen to the flute on April
1, in Lucknow. The concert was organised by the Sahara India Group in
memory of Shri Sudhir Chandra Roy, father of Subroto Roy, chairman of
the group. And the person who brought them together was Ranendranath Majumdar,
country’s famous flautist who won the ’Life Time Achievement
Award’ of Rs 1,01,000. What is more interesting that for the first
time in India a bansuri concert of this magnitude was held with 16 artists
participating from all over the country.
