The Internet seems to abound in 'Gyan' served out in generous dollops, one has only to log on to the mail for a quick check, to stumble upon stories upon stories of motivational kitsch, which gets one going soft in the heart, and making you wonder as to how you have remained functional all your life without ever understood the basics of life.

When in comes to Management Gyan, the deluge is almost overwhelming. The western world makes sure to rub in their understanding of business and business practices, and make one wail in realisation, as to how primitive and shallow Indian practices, especially the ones you follow are, in comparison to the best practices world wide. To rub insult to injury even the Chinese & Japanese joint in with their theories formulated based on their heritage and ancient knowledge.

Having said that, me being what I am. I cant help noticing the funnier side of such stories, if nothing just to reinforce my self esteem and feel less inferior in the knowledge that I beat them in their own game. So have a good laugh at my foolishness if u may.

So here goes my flip to the stories that come chasing us. Recently I received a new story in my email, lets see what meanings I could make out of it.
