Network(ing) of concepts :)

:-))

That smiley was to express my amusement at the way the word “networking” has .... now taken... deep roots in our 'present-day-minds'... (yes a 'society' is the fuzzy-average ... of ...aggregate minds collectively :)...}


We have a network of our-own people on a social media...

machines (gadgets)... are allowed a 'networking'.. but only to 'serve' the comfort-zone-seeking minds of ours (Example: One remote can control distinct gadgets sprewn around a 'working' place called 'living-room' (and we call it a “hall”, irrespective of its size :) ....)

Networking of concepts ?

I was at once reminded of this, as a great possibility... especially, when I found a certain subtle cohesiveness between a very closed-group :)
Well, ... that it was a wedding... seemed to be merely an excuse!
The group does manage such cohesiveness even during a death of their close ones!
The beauty is... even they may not be aware of a certain subtle factor... a binding factor ... that works too-silently, within them!

Certain safe assumptions, which are going to be only to their discredit, though owing to the widespread deterioration of our own social values,.....
are in fact....
a great 'bench-mark' that they seemed to create for the immediate future generations!
A challenge to the youngsters of immediate-tomorrow...!

What amazed me was that their own cohesiveness, even managed to 'dissolve' me into-them ... as if I belong to one-of-them !!!

Let me try to make my own quixotic 'ideas' a little more elaborate!

It is the grasp of basic concepts (its intrinsic strength, specifically...) which affords a climb on the ladder of 'evolvement' with a strong-and-sustaining steadiness...
At times, this 'networking' of other concepts, (apparently not related even, with a singular concept), just throws all the evolvement to winds!
Photography, ... is no more the exclusive monopoly of those who excelled in a 'studio' like structure (now-a-days, we seldom find peope visiting a 'photo-studio' to get-captured on a 'celluloid' :) both, the celluloid, and a studio that processes it have almost become extinct, ... not just obsolete :)...} Smartphones manage it too well... only wildlife photographers are able to manage to stay on-the-top... with their mega-sized lenses, their mega-patience, and their mega-investment of precious time...

This tiny eye of a smartphone has harrassed even the chronic and acute 'weaknesses' of mega-politicians, who hitherto managed to camouflage it, from the public glare... :)

So, I guess, it is time-enough... that we do take a look at the possibility of a networking of all those concepts that we managed to grasp, with whatever little awareness that we had all along :)

A typical example was that of a youngster who shot up high on a career ladder, and seemingly all-of-a-sudden !
I would only wish... and pray that this youngster does manage to maintain awareness of the concepts of basic life-values, to even stay at that-top :)
His immediate constraints , ... might be.. (for example)... that he cannot now-afford a keen observation at a very-close-proximity... of people around him... (His very nature of job keeps him hopping from one problem to the other :) ... problems are what these top level executives manage on a day to day basis, with almost no-tailor-made solutions on hand :)

That 'seemingly all-of-a-sudden'... is only for those who are as-yet unable to guess, the tons of struggle that this youngster had, during his early days, in desolate-solitude (the “mind” finds itself lonely, when people around do not seem to understand a person from our-perspective :-)) , and such solitude is often the culprit, to deter a grasp of these basic concepts, ... only-then to even think of networking these-concepts !
The youngster, who baffled his earliest of bosses (of a different marketing-firm)... did not manage to hold him ,... probably because they failed to assess his intrisic strengths! Somebody else did ! And he rose phenomenally, despite shift of work-situation, in the next few organisations!

Coming to the 'mystic' aspect of what that 'family' managed at a very subtle levels...
I know for sure, that there ought to have been frictions between individuals, at almost all levels, and periodically-enough to deter them from managing that 'cohesiveness'... (I know of a few of such negatives, since one key-factor of that family remained bonded-with-me, for almost 4 decades :-)) ...}... And it is that first-hand-knowledge, that afforded me a grasp of this subtle aspect(the cohesiveness) which not only prevailed, but seems to have even-percolated down to the next-generation too!.. That youngster who is now a “G.M” of a very reputed mega organisation, is a down-to-earth example :)

I even tried 'marketing' my idea of 'unison-factor'... which I guessed-to-be, the distinguishing factor of the so-called-religion, Hinduism...
One of the key components of this 'ism'.... seems (to me), is the 'networking of concepts'... which in itself, may have been looked at as a 'concept-in-itself'... by the ancients!
But the 'elder' with whom I tried to explain this 'unison-factor' seemed to miss the whole point! Doesn't matter... as long as... he too stays, knitted on to the cambric of that family, seamlessly-interwoven... into that 'cohesiveness'...
It might interest the readers, that this group consisted of a cross-section of individuals, who held their social name-tags of utterly-disproportionate-status/es.... (a major challenge for the youth!)..

I guess, I did manage to take a peek-look at their hidden-secrets ! (hidden even from-them)... For me it was amazingly-rewarding... this brief 4-day-visit... We were 'housed' (accommodated), too closely, and that came in too handy for me to 'catch' them even-off-guard, ... but only to keep admiring what they 'possessed' so admirably...

I would only surmise saying... “yet another demonstrative evidence this was... to reassure that ... our ancient heritage is not even lost... and so, 'irretrievably' is a word which does not apply at all :)

I bow, to the spirit of this family...
(I hold back the names and details, only-to preserve their sanctity... though, none of such details, are of any kind of 'private' , confidential, or secretive in nature)...
I stood to gain immensely... to add to my spiritual quest, and its wisdom....

a famous quote:
Buzurgi ba aql ast, na ba saal ,
Tawangiri ba dil ast , na ba maal .
Wisdom comes from knowledge, not from years
Riches come from the heart and not from things

Inter-net-ly yours,

Work place


I saw a cartoon today.






“listless”.....
is what comes to our mind, when we try to look at it a bit emotionally...
Problems are aplenty, when we deploy our logic (materialistic—of course :) }

Hey! I told myself...
I ain't a robot... (well, when I joined 'service', robot was not a popular term, so I called it 'a-machine')...
I am a human being (by make, at least... and hopefully, by-awareness, through efforts)...

I tried to relate emotionally with every aspect of work...
Every instruction , I tried to look, with a question, “How does it make life better?”...
Seldom, did I find things that didn't fit into the 'scheme'.. (all good organisations are structured so, with of course, scope in plenty , for innovations)...

In simple terms...
while most people fret-&-fume, when they look at a red-signal at a busy cross-road, it simply translates into “it's for my own safety, that I reach home in one-piece, peacefully, and not fully-in-pieces :)

On the other hand, I can even 'break' the rule, when I am trying to rush a patient for their-life-saving...

Now, can we really 'expect'... a red signal for those innocent wild-animals, where our roads are laid by us... across a huge forest?... We invoke our 'response-ability' and act prudently, judiciously, and with sense of discretion.. or , we end up contributing to extinction of that 'wild-life' :)

At a work place, we need to look at the 'situation' and then deploy the rules... not for the sake of rules, not for satisfying the auditor, or even the boss :)


I felt amply rewarded..
no 2 days were 'ever' the same to me...
instead the same vouchers, the same customers,... why even the same numerals 1 to 9... seemed to offer a wide spectrum of variety entertainment, a challenge-afresh, each hour (not just each day)...
I thoroughly enjoyed the work place itself..
I did evolve , when I had-to-invoke my own latent potentials, to improvise myself, at work each day :)

Good that the kid slept off earlier than when he used to be told bed-time-stories...


Work-o-holically yours,
