The Company of Women


Recently while browsing through the book shelf in library, I came across a book written by Khushwant Singh and after going through the synopsis I immediately got the book issued. It talks about how the protagonist loved being with women throughout his life. From the time he joined college for the entire life he enjoyed the company of women.

As the name suggests “The Company of Women” this book speaks about the lust and life of the protagonist; Mohan Kumar. As per his words he says he is not a sex-maniac but I don’t agree with the same as it was clearly shown in the way he lead his life all the time.

I wonder how one can be a womanizer throughout his life and sleep with number of women for his pleasure. A quite good lad from a poor family, with excellent education flies off to America with a scholarship to complete his studies. He was welcomed with all the warmth shown by his fellow classmates and in-turn he also gave much to the country in many forms. The very first time he slept with a girl from that land he loved the feeling and since then the cycle goes on and on. Soon in couple of months his interest falls on other women. To fulfill his lust for sex he never had a problem or hesitation to sleep with women from any caste, creed, color…he was proving well he wanted a WOMEN to sleep with.

With all this in mind he came back home to his old father and as per his advice he got married with a well pampered girl from a rich family. At very first sight he always scanned the body of the girl and imagined how she will perform on bed.

After few hiccups he got married and his lust for sex started taking a wild form which resulted in a baby soon after the marriage. The lady and her family dint accepted his wild nature and left him on his own.

Soon the hunger for women body took shape in his mind and again he started his search for some one to sleep with. In this course he gave an advertisement in the newspaper for a companion and waited for reply. The lust was on such a peak that he dint even spared his maid servant and slept with him number of times.

The same continued till he got reply for his absurd advertisement in the newspaper and invited the lady and stayed with her for the next couple of months. The same continued till his object became life-less and not ready to accept action anymore. But the end was horrible; the day he realized that he broke down mentally and physically no one was there to sit for a while with him he look back in his life and realized what all he had done.

The end was BAD, with all his lust and hunger the protagonist end up having the virus called AIDS in his body and with a life-less object, a life-less mind, there died a life-less protagonist Mohan Kumar.

The author has used a fine language adding a taste of soft-porn which shows off how the hunger of body can eat up a life. I wonder how many people would be there in the world who live with this hunger in their life but end up having a bad stroll.

The story of the protagonist gives a mixed feeling to the readers and leaves a question mark in everyone’s mind as “To be or not to be”.

Restructure your Corporate Model

This is a common scenario with the corporate houses where the organizational structures are re-aligned for smoother operations in an organization. There are many compromises the Company has to do as per the requirements of the NEW management. One of the challenges faced by them would be studying the work graph of the employees and make them adjust in the new environment and accept the changes. It is said that changes are inevitable but changes should be accepted with open hands by the employees. The companies should come out of the shell of the BIG CORPORATE and should study their own SWOT and act on; the action and the analysis areas may be inside or outside their pre-determined shell. There can be lot many reasons for restructuring…be it less performance, all talks- no work, only work---no talks, no clear goal, no direction, no decision….and many more…everyone needs a change and a better change. With the advent of restructuring in the company the employee would be little skeptical as

FISH Philosophy!!!

Sometime back my colleague gave a presentation on the FISH Philosophy; it is a theory from John Christensen; which was derived by placing cameras in fish market to study the behaviour of workers working actively. As the book suggests, “When we choose to love the work we do, we can catch our limit of happiness, meaning and fulfillment every day.” The study shows how 75% of normal human life is consumed in work related areas as going to office, spending time in working and other such meagre activities and by the time Friday appears everyone sighs and says “Thank God its Friday” and gives their 100% of the energy. The promoters and writer proudly shares that this book will benefit the managers which will indeed increase employee retention and motivate people to take pride in what they do; so it says no work is small you should perform your duties with pride and enthusiasm. The story is a parable; an invented story about finding the deep source of energy, creativity and passion that exists

Building Bully- Free Workplace

In the dynamic realm of the workplace, collaboration and teamwork are crucial for success. However, sometimes this spirit of cooperation takes a dark turn when employees gang up against one particular team member. During a recent one-on-one session with a team member, I came to realize the immense importance of understanding and practicing concepts like empathy, sympathy, privacy, and secrecy. These terms may be interconnected, but they each hold their own significance. It is disheartening to witness team members struggling to fit into the competitive nature of the workplace. Do they not have their own individuality and unique perspectives? Should they not possess their own strong will? Numerous questions arise in light of this. Why do people gang up against a particular team member? Why do they feel entitled to delve into their personal issues? Can't they control their curiosity and focus on their own responsibilities? Why make fun of someone who is already going through emotional
