Re: From Sally Pewhairangi and other Librarians emerge as Project Managers group members on LinkedIn
LbnRaj D • Hello Sally,
It is so nice to find a librarian doubling up as a project manager. It will be my pleasure if you can share your experiences here in this regard. This idea / concept occured to me when i was at Akruti Citygold Institute Mumbai. I am now Chief Librarian at Asian School of Business Management, Bhubaneswar, India ( lotus5673@yahoo.co.in). Let me know a bit about yourself and your papers/contributions. Let us be touch.

One more opportunity for a New Beginning .... Wish all of you a Happy and Prosperous new year 2010
New beginnings December 31, 2010"A new beginning brings with it a freshness that is hard to ignore as it brings with it fresh hope and the promise of bright days ahead." – Janina Gomes (The Speaking Tree, Times of India, December 29, 2010).When things go wrong …when hopes and dreams seem to be shattering……when the last second, hour, day and year haunts…..what should one do? Repent on the past that went wrong? Worry on the next moment, next hour, next day or the next month and year? You are right Gomes, a new beginning, a new fresh beginning is a wonderful option! And when should this new beginning take off? Is it the next fresh second, it it the next fresh hour day, month or the year? A fresh beginning could be conceived at the earliest …….could be the next second or the next minutes. Yes explore freshness all over again in the fresh new beginning……there are n number of opportunities for new beginnings. Explore as you move from second to second, life is full of abundance, if we act unconditionally and abundantly. Next beautiful moment is waiting for our new beginning!

Ensure your tomorrow's tomorrow and tomorrow's yesterday ..... do this by being in the this very moment ... this very day .... cheers ...... be smiling now .... LbnRaj
"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but any one can start today and make a new ending" - Maria Robinson (Sacred Space, Times of India, December 30, 2010). Yes Maria, no one can go back for initiating a new beginning..... but human mind is such that we always tend to think of how bad or how good was our beginning yesterday ..... last month .... and we keep building up castles in the air. Whatever was the beginning .... or the start ... it was ... it is past now....... that beginning is beyond correction. The beginning that is history now ... should be built upon ..... refreshed with new beginnings .... am I right? We can always make new beginnings .... for achieving desired endings... desired goals. It is indeed beautiful to be in the present ..... because it takes care of your history of today as you can see it from tommorrow. By being in present .... you can shape a better and desired tommorrow ..... am i right? Be in the present and define your future history and future tommorrows. Cheers .... be smiling now.......... lbnRaj Librarianship is a noble profession http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ 1816gbgv |

Why holidays when every day is a holiday?
Why holidays? "When you like your work, every day is a holiday". Frank Tyger. (Times of India, Sacred Space, 29, December 2010). It raises questions like ….. What do we mean by a holiday? Can we have or should we have holidays continuously. Is it not logical to have a distinction between a holiday and a working day. Let us assume that we enjoy our work on a working day a lot ……………….and it is really a celebration every whey while we are on work. Can we celebrate every day every moment……………..then the celebration loses its importance. We like sweets ……………………can we have sweets every day ………..every moment. We need to be cheerful every second…………….everyday … then no one likes to be cheerful………..it becomes so boring you know……………………….. Now should we have holiday every day………………………… Then is it wise to like our work so much that …………….every day looks like a holiday? ……………………………….. I don't know……………… it is quite natural not to like the work so much ……………… so that we may have those rare moments when we liked the work so much ……….and so much passionately? I think Librarians will agree on this ? Am I right?

Why we dont believe in the un seen and un touchable?
To believe in the unseen … !!! "To believe in the things, you can see and touch is no belief at all. But to believe in the unseen is both a triumph and a blessing." Bob Proctor (Source : Foggy Vision?, Sacred Space.- Times of India , December 28, 2010). Yes most of us do believe in the unseen, untouchable,…. without our knowledge. We live with the unseen, un perceivable and all pervading supreme power unawares. Either by deep penance ………….meditation……………….or introspection …………..we do believe the unseen, un touchable at times. But again we may often come back to the basics ………….that is trusting and believing only that which can be seen and touched. We keep oscillating between mind and matter ……….continuously ………..endlessly.

Mother, Mother and Mother !!!!!!!!
mother "I am the mother of the wicked, as I am the mother of the virtuous. Never fear. Whever you are in distress, so your self, 'I have a mother'." (Sri Sarada Devi). Beautiful indeed! Sri Sarada Devi has told what every one does without any one being told about this. Whenever We are in trouble or distress …. We suddenly pronounce ………… 'maa'……………. Avva………………. Mummy……………….. That is the nature's gift to human kind known as Mother. There cannot be any other example of unconditional and unlimited love …………….. other than mother. "If you want peace do not see the faults of others. Rather see your own faults. Learn to make the w2hole world your own. No one is stranger, my child. The whole world is your own." (Sri Sarada Devi). True indeed ……………………we keep searching for the mistakes that others commit tend to commit………………..unaware of what mistakes we commit …………..keep committing. No one is a stranger in this world …………. What a truth. We are all connected by land water and air and space……………………… nothing in universe is disconnected. Every thing is connected with the super power……….the supreme power………….all inclusive of living and non living things. I am so much thank ful to Times of India for including these two wonderful columns known as Sacred Space and The Speaking Tree. They are constant source of inspiration, courage and wisdom…………..not only to me but all those who are addicted to wait for the days Sacred Space and The Speaking Tree. Hope Librarians do have this habit of having a daily glimpse of sacred space and The speaking Tree. I wish they do! What do you Say?

I dont know how and why? I have developed this fascination for reading. The speaking Tree and Sacred Space columns of Times of India for the last few years. It has almost become an obsession to read thse just like I have my breakfast and dinner. Hats Off to Times fo India for these columns on centre page. The last night I had a peculiar dream. One of my colleagues / friends proessional Acquintance (not so much known) drops into my library / office ...saying "thank you for the invite.... / I said ' oh it is my pleasure.... me, my friend said a colleague of my mine get to the auditorium and get to the podium. Instead of chairs there was a long streatching matress on wwhich we a ere resting .... relaxing. That was a very light and relaxing moment f9or we three or rour we / were convrsing some things which I dont remember now. I dont know whether we were relaxing... or almost e had ... ere lying . There is a sleeping position.... The whole auduience infront of of us and wer were shispering...gossipping. Suddenly my colleague asks me what time the program starts? Then suddenly vwake up. oh is there a program/? My God I forgot..... e need to arrange for it... oh my God the audience is already there in front of us and we really did not do anything. How come the uests of honour did not arrive? Then the dream shatters........... and I keep thinking on te dream..that went by. How come dreams are at times so illogical..... disconnected and meanless. Now this time of the day I have got to write on this when I incidentally happen tro read something.....by Jui Padegar on Aurobindo (TOI, the Speaking Tree 6-9-2010). According to Aurobindo, "There are several realms of consciousness beyond the physical world we live in and that these planes of consciousness are in facct and that these planes of consciousness are in fact the other worlds that are as real as we take our own world to be. When one sleeps the subconscient mind is freed from the shackles of the mind that operates in the physical world, travelling across other those other worlds soaking in the experiences both good and bad..... that are needed for further consciousness evolution of the individual in the dream state.
I end this write up with the words of Marguerite Theophil, .... working with "What is means to seek meaning within the absurd, peace within chaos, light within darkness, joy within sufering without the need to deny the reality of absurdity, chaos darkness and sufering" (The Speaking Tree, Your faithfully with grace, Times of India, 01-10-2010).

Librarian towards ASSISTED SERVICES.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Librarian towards “Assisted Services”
LbnRaj
November 17, 2010; blogged on December 25, 2010.
It is a novel and recent service being slowly making its inroads into our urban life. According to Divya, the assisted service concept is in the west for quite some time . I think it is a great and out of the box idea. People in general today are too busy in their jobs/business and family life. They find it difficult to invest more time and energy in organizing some of their activities like shopping , programmes etc. The office goers are hard pressed for leaves / breaks. This facility known as assisted service really is timely and works well . Changes I hope will get rationalized slowly. I dont remember correctly it was in Times of India some ago, some one wrote on the concept of “Personal Assistant”. The content was almost same like that of this by Divya. Coming to the knowledge and information side this “Assisted Service” works wonders. “Personal Assistant” conceived in this way can never be replaced fully by Elders, parents, teachers or friends. The day Librarians realise this and come out darlingly to assume such out of the box role, will indeed be a day of celebration. Though not explicit every student, scholar, teacher , businessman looks out for some one who is accessible who could assist in organizing this personal information / knowledge requirements. Information/ knowledge workers and librarians are attached to their organizations and institutions. No one is available for catering to this unpronounced / implicit requirement. Yes this could be a very right time to locate a librarian as your personal assistant. Yet this could be a very right time a for a librarian to think out of the box to assume a more aggressive and socially visible role as a knowledge / information assistant on call. Librarians! Cheers. New opportunity and challenge waits for you! Grab it before others do it on your behalf! A personal Librarian! Wow!

All about the budge word "Knowledge"
The budge word “Knowledge”
LbnRaj
November 11, 2010 ; presented on December 25, 2010.
It is not uncommon these days to hear terms like knowledge society, knowledge economy, knowledge management, knowledge engineering and so on., every where in social networks , media and local day today gossips Information and knowledege and their generation, storage and retrieval and communication is a pre-requisite of human life nd its existence, since time immememorial. Some times in the loud noise of the pronouncements of the concept and term so very often one seems to be easily mislead. One may erroneously think and feel that the so called information/knowledgfe had no role in the shaping human society and its business and activities. One should sooner or later come out of such fobia. Knowledge has mattered the society, may be much intensely thean today, in the past. The difference could be only in terms of ease, speed and convinience of handling it some time back we were very clear about the meaning of infomation and knowledge. It is grossly unfortunate now that knowledge is brought to the level of data and information.l.. May be we will pay heavily on this error later. Much of information and its processing now is computable and progammable. May be we need to restrict ourselves at this level. I still find it hard to digest our computing abilities when it comes to knowledge and wisdom. This is not to undermine the importance of developments with regard to artificial intelligence and robotics. May be the concept could have become a handy tool in the hands of modern busines sicience, may be our businesses have graduated to their second levels. But some where some how we need to progress towards a distinction between statisticsw, data, numbers , information, knowledge and wisdom. Let us continue to progress towar4ds arrriving at new break throughs, inventions and innovations without meddling with age old established terminologies for drawing new lines/ bench marks for business excellence.

Every one wants to be good! Any thing wrong with this?
Every one wants to be good! I have never come across any one who basically un conditionally wants to be a bad doer. No one wants to be known as a bad person. No one wants to do wrong and bad things. Then why do we get into wrong things…….. why do we get to do bad things? Even in case of small medium and hard core criminals basically never intend ………………….. intended to be be bad and bad doer. Every one know that they need to be noticed………………… they need to be acknowledge for their being important …………………. their being correct, their being righteous. May when some one does some un acceptable thing ……………………. Wrong thing …………………. Bad thing – they still are not convinced that they are wrong persons………………… they justify being right in their own right………………….. in their own logic. May be there is lot of competition to be good in this world. It is so difficult be known as a good person …………….. and be known for that. And many a time we get disgusted to many many good people around…………………. We just cant stand so many good people around ………………. Who are bent upon under mining my goodness and being right? There is lot of competition in this world to be good person …………………. More better person than others…………………. Can I call it as a healthy competition? -LbnRaj ; lotus5673@yahoo.co.in ; Librarianship is a noble profession http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/1816gbgv |

Give and take or give and give?
Give and take or give and give?
“You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it is a little thing, do something for others- something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it”. - Albert Schweitzer (Sacred Space, Times of India, December 23, 2010).
What I personally think is that, basically every one feels like doing something good to others all the time. We all understand very well about our need to be recognized…. …………………need to be appreciated by others. We also understand that no body will recognize us ………………nobody will appreciate us……………………….nobody will notice us…………………………..without our being of some use to some one all the time……………….. What about the librarian? Luckily Librarians have so much to give to so many people all the time………….. day in and out. This is indeed a special privilege! We have the noble task of sharing information and knowledge to as many as we can. The beauty of our profession is that we are systematically trained to do so. Let us thank God for making us Librarians. Let us be proud of what we are…………. the way we are. There is more joy in give and give and give …. …………….. the things we may start getting will be countless.. -LbnRaj ; lotus5673@yahoo.co.in ;
