Making of a Leader - MS Dhoni

I thought of writing this on Sunday but waited for Monday's final. I always believed that leaders are born. MSD has proved that. He could be sure case study on leadership the way he has handled and led the new team to T20 world cup. Media was analysing what he speaks in post match presentation as well as in press conferences.

Still he has a long way to go and has to prove himself in other versions of the game but morning shows the day!

PM's Independence day promise

I was delighted to hear the announcement by PM about setting up more IITs, IIMs, IISCs & IIITs. welcome thought. But what about another 100 agricultural universities or 10 IRMAs? Agriculture is the largest employment generator in the country. We need advanced skills in this area. I have some links in agriculture. I know there is dearth of new ideas and inputs.

Kolkata visit 20-27 Aug

As I write something every time I visit Kolkata, here is something this time. I visited old college street area to buy some books on Agriculture. This is probably one of the oldest book sellers street in the world. To my surprise out of say 100 stalls only one shop actually accepts credit cards, forget about any online presence. I was wondering is it sometimes good to do business in a old way or the same way for 100 years? Sat in coffee house for some time, felt nostalgic, it is the same place once used to be place for city's intellectuals. Still has the same charm.

But Amazon didn't come from college street, is it that we have never looked at entrepreneurship, the way the americans looked at?
