 Hi Everyone -- Hope everyone is doing OK, during this extended locked down period.  Today is complete locked down in Tamil Nadu-India, i.e. everything is shut down except hospitals. I started writing this blog post lunch... :) In this blog, I will share my thoughts and comments about "M.S.Dhoni's leadership", who was leading Indian Cricket Team close to a decade.  Last week, he retired from international cricket, and all the cricket fans are talking about this. Everyone talked about Dhoni's leadership qualities like below: Stay Calm Stay Grounded Lead From Front Encourage Team members to perform Share credits / failures with teammates Also, every where I saw Dhoni's leadership lesson articles. I completely agree on the above.   Every manager and every executive will agree on the above too. I will make one more comment: DHONI = WINNING TEAM What is it all about? Cricket is a team game. The game is completely AGILE. i.e. You start the game by tossing a coin and you

  Hi Everyone --   Hope you, family, relatives and friends are doing well.   In this blog, I will mention about my experience with e-pass. https://tnepass.tnega.org/   (We have a rule or system in place within TamilNadu - India, where you need to get e-pass in this system, if you would like to travel between districts within the state)   I am really confused whether it is electronic pass, or entry pass or exam pass!.   I really mean it, because the happiness is so much after getting the e-pass. :). You feel like, you passed exam.   First of all, I really want to THANK the folks behind every approval and every rejection . They have been doing good job for sure.  Also, the system ( https://tnepass.tnega.org/) has improved a lot in last few weeks. It was very rough when it was launched. Thanks to the technical team as well .  The system is in place, to control corona spread and also to help the needy people.   However, e-pass is becoming a business as highlighted in newspapers.

Hi Everyone -- Hope you are doing well and staying safe. Its been months, and I am catching up again. In this blog, I will discuss about drumsticks (Moringa) price variations and the mindset of a farmer, of course myself and not quoting anyone. :) Just a background, to all my international readers, below is an image of drumstick. However, it is called as " Moringa " in many countries.  Drumstick is not a chicken . :(. It is a vegetable in our country - India. In last two months, I saw price of one kg drumstick/moringa moved from 3 INR to 30 INR.  Of course, it is a good amount for a farmer. But, I was wondering,  what happened? I did not do anything special. It is the same farm, same workers and me too.  Same as stock market. :).. Suddenly I see ups and downs. So, what changed the price from 3 to 30?. 1. Did demand go-high for drumstick in last one month? - Yes, this is the logical answer , anyone would give. - Where is the demand coming from suddenly? - More consumers? 2. Th
