Can we be good energy managers
India is a rich country consisting of many kind of poor people. A visitor from Europe said " You folks must be very rich country, looking of how many people you can get gainfully unemployed here"Our poverty also shows in the way we manage our natural
and man made energies . We keep our air conditioner
blasting at freezing temperature in offices and cinema
halls . We let corporation water taps run interminialy like the Ganga.
How well do we manage our verbal energies? The great Indian Parliament is best place to see that .Almost every Indian is an expert , whether the subject is pathology or astrology . Gossip has replaced hockey as the national game . No wonder phone companies now offer unlimited time ! More tourist guide and spiritual members terrorize you with words . they can unleash an array of verbal bullet points without any provocations.
Finally , how do we mange our thought energy ? We go round and round in thought process like juicy jalebi without ever getting to point . We have mastered the fine art of pulling each other down . some smart Indians re-interpreted the the icon of the dancing Nataraja as an apt symbol of how we tend to think . One hard of the icon is positioned downwards to ensure that we firmly hold onto our chairs . the other hand is raised up to
shake the chairs of others!
We do need to work at high -energy intensities , if we have to find a palace among best nations of the world .
For this, here is simple matrix : Speak sparingly, think
clearly, live as thought it was your last day and act as
you will live for ever!
