The power of a book .....!!!!!!!!!!

JUNE 28, 2010 THE POWER OF A BOOK It is beyond arguments that knowledge is power and the power of knowledge make books and other containers powerful and significant. And the books embodying knowledge have continued to  treasure people to relish, preserve and conserve. Witness the power the book "Chitrangada" authored by the Great Poet Tagore, five member team reach the place and the building which could have inspired Gurudev to author the famous dance drama. Books / and other containers of knowledge bring value to the places, buildings and situations and ideas. That is the power of knowledge and books. Hats off! The team now is pursuing the case of declaring this almost in shambles building in Pandua as a world heritage site. Best wishes.

We should stop hopping on wrong / deviant sides of great artists and scientists and creative people.

Saturday, the 26th of June 2010   1.We should stop hopping on wrong / deviant sides of great artists and scientists and creative people.  Very seldom a genius groomed in a systematic disciplined education expresses his/her genius ness. Good or bad we need to be bit tolerant about the deviations of the so called performers / creative people. I don't know what others have to say on this. 2.Good news! Olins – a co founder of brand consulting frim Wolff Olins says, he is addicted to India. 3.Small events that happened, pains and pleasures of yester years have made what we are today. 4.There is no other joy or pleasure comparable to resting and relaxing ….

Raj Librarian's musings

21/06/2010
Raj Librarian’s Musings:

1. Beautiful thought of Anjali Mendes caught me this Monday unawares, To learn something new, everyday is a gift. You realize this only if your mind is open to the world & to life…….. I learnt that discipline & punctuality & respect for people were crucial to advancement, both in terms of career & self development……In the course of my career & travels, meeting people, exchanging ideas- that have helped me to absorb & learn, to share & spread happiness, transcending geography, culture & relationships. It is time for the Librarians to imitate this first international fashion model late Anjali Mendes(Pierre Cardin), in absorbing & learning, sharing & spreading happiness, transcending happiness, transcending geography, culture & relationships(Inspiration : : Times of India: Speaking Tree 21/06/2010).

2. Librarians can not afford to be uninformed of the ideas/thoughts of writers, novelists like Siddharth Dhanvant. Here he is, “Today books are in the ring with Twitter and books are defeated by 140 characters……Cinema makes me feel like I am personally going out of print” The idea of re-rendering the thoughts of Siddhartha is only to sensi-tise librarians to come out of their narrow shells, be more responsive, be more informed, be in the fore front of ideas than being followers, cataloguers & indexers. We do have a legacy of scholarship. Librarians should continue to be scholars. No other way seems to be more realistic & challenging & meaningful (Inspiration: Siddharths paper: Times of India 21/06/2010)., towards career growth and professionalism.


3. Whether in Government, or Private/Corporate sector, librarians can’t afford to be their limited shells. They need to be more pragmatic, more outspoken & more relevant to real callings of work & organization. They need to be multitasking sooner or later to prove their nerves of professionalism. Have a look at what Norbert Nego wrote today with a caption “One thing at a time” (Inspiration: TOI 20/06/2010).

4. Times of India’s clipping…..”looking for company? Just rent a friend” (TOI 21/06/2010). Interesting indeed! How about saying, “Looking for information & knowledge? Just rent a Librarian!

It is quite natural for all of us to long for more and more joy, happiness and enjoyment .....

It is quite natural for every one to have more and more fun, joy and happiness. Time and again we feel unhappy and sad when we face a down. But now I do realise if there are downs in ones life .... how do we value ups and excellence .. and joy. Thank you downs .. you make me realise the importance of what i have .... make me realise the ups of my life ... make me realise the importance of the best of life that i have had. Life continues ..... with less or more of ups and downs ... Let me accept it as it is.... as that is the the best option.
