gods and religions.

These pundits, who have no claim to have forecasted anything close to reality about cricket, writing as the guardians of the game is such uglesome. I cannot press enough the vanity of our media houses, which does provide platform for such insipid expression of a nonexistent tribulation.
I have acquired a DNA off late, mostly via my work, that process is more important than outcome. Outcome is just a byproduct of process. Enough of management lessons, I guess. But the trick is to apply this consistently to your work and wherever you may require. It gets even trickier to understand that out of other people’s work, where we easily start judging by the outcomes. That is just being superficial or even prejudiced without taking into account the real drivers to an outcome. It is almost killing the thesis that Majority is right (rational) and don’t hesitate to do it when driven by your convictions. Markets forces drive many things in many ways, but not necessarily the rational way.
But this discussion does not need intense understanding of process and outcomes. It just requires epistemic integrity. Anybody can say anything is not freedom of speech.
It has taken me years to understand Ilayaraaja and Sachin are Gods. Name it to be their techniques, process and even the outcomes they outdo any of their peers, forerunners, market dictating frontrunner, to be born whatever runner by unscalable margin. I can defend them, within my limited knowledge and skills to deftly ploy that knowledge. But I wouldn’t care to do so many times. You live amidst so much trash these days. Life is about ignoring so much of this trash and trailing your perceived serenity. In that my Gods guide me effectively.
