Fan man (am hardly a boy) letter to mrs funny bones

I hate you mrs funnybones. The song from the movie " Delhi belly" is what I am singing for you. " I hate you like I love you"

I hate you because..

1. You have broken into our imagination and told us that all filmy sitare are after all human beings...yuck..how boring

2. You told us that they have lives beyond movies which dont go as per the script and where they r not heroes all the time..yuck.. boring again

3. Not all your neighbours are hot bod men and women.. really? Liar

4. For spoiling the fun of the old man who was just enjoying what after all was an accident ....madam accident main kaun kisski help karta hain? India hain yeah!!!

5. For being the only wife of the man of the house...do u even realise...if the movie stars wanted they can change the law... and yes they are... above the law

6. For telling us men not to ignore the fat kid in school who could turn out super hot when she grows up...if only we saw the future...and then our slim wives become fat and stay there...i so hate u

7. For being from a family which is so very biased towards naming girls after body features or any other inanimate things...dimple..twinkle...whats the name of your daughter again?..btw my sympathies with the editor..chiki??...so cheeky

8. For making work sound so secondary...like u go to office as a after thought...we are born ..live and die to work...for the world..we r Indians...you snob

9. For making writing sound so easy and natural... don't you get it..It's not everyone's cup of tea...was chetan bhagat not enough that you also had to arrive on the scene?

I could go on and on but you know I have work to attend to and i dont even have any well meaning help.

Let me end though with saying thank you to you and your family. I shudder with fear if you would have continued acting and someday someone would have casted you opposite Tusshar!!! To borrow your expression ..Blimey!!!

Note: If i die mysteriously after this post mrs funnybones should be questioned. I know she can very easily prove how she was not drunk and not on the wheel...what?


Mrs Funnybones..WHO?

Systems Thinking & Spirit of Enterprise

dward Deming - one of the visionary management thinkers of the past decade - had said - "94% of the problems in business are systems driven and only 6% are people driven", yet even today we do not find many companies, individuals or even B-Schools focusing / teaching individuals to look at the systems at play in an organizational context.Why are we so ignorant of this fundamental aspect? 

I am a lifelong student of the "5th Discipline" and believe that ideas mentioned in this "cult classic" book are extremely powerful. While I have been re-looking at these frameworks and ideas in the context of some consulting assignments I have been working on - I thought are we now so focused on "specialization" that we are actually moving away from the fundamental thought that what I produce / create must work as part of the overall system. 

As I follow the HR Tech space closely I do stop to admire these beautiful systems created to solve a fundamental problem or even sometimes creating disruptive ways of doing things differently. However I feel that in this spirit of enterprise are we losing the big picture? Are we now living in times where I can get perfectly working "parts" and will have to create my own "machine"/"system" out of such perfectly working parts? Is that what "Integration" is all about? 

I also am pained by the problems of urban waste & e-waste generated in our times. Peter Senge's statement from the book - Today's solutions are tomorrow's problems - couldn't be any truer than in this context. While solving these problems are enterprising again taking a systems view? Why FMCG companies who actually contribute a large chunk of the urban waste are not working with government, suppliers and people to solve these issues? Why the mushrooming tech companies do nothing about recycling of the phones, tablets, pcs etc?

Increased awareness about impact of individuals and organizations on environment is being created by various bodies while we have now started to acknowledge that our actions lead to some impact over a longer period of time. However we are all - me included - are far from making this as part of our life. The transient nature of our existence and "specialized" focus on "survival" are the key aspects, according to me. 

If anyone of you have seen an enterprise coming into existence by taking an systemic view of things I would be happy to learn more about the same.
