LEARN TO UNPLUG WHEN YOU NEED TO.


  • Managing Work-Life Balance: One shouldn't worry too much about being a perfectionist because it makes you too involved with just one thing and ignore other things completely. Secondly, learn to unplug when you need to because rejuvenation gives you time to regroup and come back with fresh ideas.
  • Being a fit woman: To me, being fit and healthy is important not just to look good, but also to be productive. I do strength training and yoga regularly. I love dancing. I also watch what I eat.
  • Energy High and Happiness: Energy starts with the people around you, so my team at office and my family at home keep me positive and happy.
  • Risk-Taker or a Micro-Planner?: Bit of both - there are situations where you have to gamble and go all out as it involves returns that are high. And then there are times where I study my options before taking a decision.
  • Spiritual Diet: Work hard, have goals, but also be content with what you have, because happiness is also a state of mind.
  • Handling Failure/ Success: Failures are the best teachers in life. I don't regret any decision I took in the past because it taught me a lot. And as far as success is concerned, acknowledge and appreciate it and move on to the next thing.
  • Crisis Management: Communication is the key. You have to understand how to deal with the situation, have a plan with clear objectives in mind. Be honoured and open.

VIEWS OF MANU AND KAUTILYA ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.

The state performed its duty of protection of society and the individual through coercive enforcement of the standards of justice based on the concept of ' Dharma '. From the Vedic period onward, the perennial attitude of Indian culture had been justice and righteousness. Justice, in the Indian context, was a human expression of a wider universal principle of nature and if men were entirely true to nature, their actions would be spontaneously just. Men experienced Justice, in the sense of a distributive equity, as moral justice, social justice, and legal justice. Each of these forms of justice was viewed as a particularisation of the general principle of the universe seen as a total organism. Impartial administration of justice was always regarded as one of the main duties of the King and he was considered to be the fountain of justice. The ethical code of society and its cultural standards were inter-related. The cultural maturity and social amicability and even their det...

ANCIENT INDIA'S LINKS TO TODAY.

You may not have heard of Shu-ilishu but he is a man of great significance. He reaches out to us from almost 4,300 years ago, through a small Akkadian cylinder seal now housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris. On the seal, you will find an image of him talking to two men. The inscription describes Shu-ilishu as the interpreter of the Meluhhan language. 'Meluha' was, in all probability, the term used by ancient Mesopotamians for the Indus Valley region, and the presence of an oficial 'interpreter' there indicates just how important the steady flow of good from the Indian sub-continent was.  Precious and vibrant lapis lazuli stones, carnelian beads, wood and even dogs would go across via old trade routes and ports like Lothal (in modern-day Gujarat) to Akkad, capital of the Akkadian Empire (03rd millennium BCE) and now in modern-day Iraq. There are also references to a settlement of Meluhhans in the city of Guabba in Sumer, in Mesopotamia.  The story of Shi-ilishu and ...
