Since last couple of months, I am very much vexed about things happening around in the professional front. Not that I have gone to a state of depression, but surely have given me a kind of insomnia. The reason for this seems to be very global kind. Means there are certain things which perhaps are not in my hand but probably would be contributing substantially in the worsening of the situation. To make a laundry list of these things, the market share of company is going down in Chattisgadh, the numeric distribution figure is not growing, the sales if not de-growing is retarded, people are de-motivated, system and processes are not in place, business partners are doing company’s work as just another work in their kitty, and most importantly these all things are inherently been passed to me some five months back. No defense. Once a territory is given to me, the past, present and the future belongs to me.
The more I try to make things simpler and straight, the more it starts webbing. To minutely understand the problem, this is the problem of attitude. While talking to the people around me, they say, things were not like that few years back. It’s only someone’s attitude towards the work which has contaminated others and now has incorporated as the attitude.
The latent hostility was rising day by day and then I got this book “India Shining, India Changing”, edited by Gioia Guerzoni. The preface of the book tells the inherent qualities of our Country India. To quote the book, “An immense country where allegoric monkeys jumps from branch to metaphoric branch and volunteer beggars, aware of thirty reincarnations, lay snares to save your soul; the warehouse of dreams, the only place where deities still exist, appointed by a God sunk in his own self and simultaneously incarnated everywhere, a place of temples and lepers. Here, Buddha’s or Shiva’s smiles have never been erased. They are still mellow and incomprehensible, ecstatic and mortal”.

With all its inherent practices, good or bad, India is growing from every nook and corners. But yet besides the joys of a splendid and progressive destiny, the urban slums have grown ten times bigger since last 40 years due to unstoppable migratory flows from the poorest states and the countryside. Owning or renting a house is as costlier as any other developed European country but still those posh flats and villas are not in sufficient numbers to accommodate rich Indians as the number of millionaires are rising year on year. Still crores of people are not having shelter here. Industrial revolution is at its peak and the government is supporting industrialists by providing them SEZs’ (Special Economic Zones) but throwing the peasants of that zone into darker side. Foreign Reserves are increasing in sharp upward manner but thousands of farmers’ suiciding due to massive financial crunch. Urban per capita income is increasing and rural household income is decreasing but still almost every household of every village has got atleast one mobile phone. Thousands of crores of black money is being sent to Swiss Bank from India whereas thousands of people are dying every year starving. We are the country with most varied cast and religion living together in peace but still young people of India can easily be polarized based upon their cast or religion. We are one among the fastest growing super power in the world, be it the growing market or growing economy or growing defense system but still not even a single frontier of our country is free of disputes. Social justice is said to be achieved by and large in our country but Naxalism still exists here claiming lives of thousands of people every year...in the name of social justice. We have got perhaps one of the best judicial system in the world with a one of its class network of juridical processes that starts from the Gram Panchayat and goes till Supreme Court to our hon'ble President but still have millions of cases pending in the files of the court room that perhaps ends with the end of either of two parties of the complaint. Varied problems with varied spectra.
Well this is just a laundry list of problems around us. And I thought I have got the biggest problem. The problem of our country, to get solved, took more than 60 years after independence and still is persistent. I think, my problem is not that much big to face any situation of insomnia otherwise we can assume that entire nation would be facing a state of insomnia.
