"If you want divine possibilities, then you have to cut your present priorities and give importance to the divine. Like the tree is waiting inside the seed to come out. , all the possibilities of the world are waiting to come out, but we are not aware of that. Become aware of your possibilities, then of your abilities and become capable and make your life useful, meaningful, and purposeful - in short, a divine life" - Swami Brahmdev (Times of India, Experience Evergreen Life June 2, 2011)

True Librarians hear the svaras of turn of pages by his / her readers …. Whether or not readers happen to be present or not.
LbnRaj at Random on Svara, Sound and Music : May 12, 2011
"When a Guru trains disciple to listen to svara, the latter is able to identify svaras in the falling rain, in the hum of a bee and in the roar of the sea. If she is unable to listen to svara, it does not mean that svara does not exist". – Subroto Roy (Times of India, The Genesis of Svara, Speaking Tree, May 12, 2011.)
Svara / sound is present despite and inspite of the listener. It is the listener who has to keep his doors open to hear the sound and svara. The listner may hear the svara / sound independent of the creator of the sound. The mystery is svaras / sounds are within too …. One has to delve deep into oneself … to hear those cosmic svaras and music divine. True Librarians hear the svaras of turn of pages by his / her readers …. Whether or not readers happen to be present or not.

On Self Knowledge and Free Will.
A Thought breakfast / May 11, 2011
- Self Knowledge has always been the theme of the Illumined who know and teach God and the Self to be One. As long as one believes himself to be separate from God, he will remain mortal to himself. – Lillian DeWaters
- The So called free will may just be an illusion when in reality, thoughts and actions gravitate towards a pre-fixed path ….. The true nature of our self is merely consciousness that observes. …. Free will remains the free will of an imaginary entity and its \ego. Whether the future is scripted or not becomes a moot issue if the true nature of the self becomes clear – a speck of the unqualified consciousness that exists beyond time and space. – Deepak M Ranade

Management practice graduating towards professionalism …

Chief Librarian, Asian School of Business Management, BBSR
Gossip having its roots in common sense and conventional wisdom is close to hearts of humans. The beauty of gossip is that one need not do any exercise or work for it. One can just get engaged in and it surrounds around human sensible events, behavior and happenings. It surrounds around concepts like status, prestige, honour, humiliation, insult, achievement, humour, failure etc. We all are party to gossips some time or the other. Psychologists of late acknowledge the importance of gossip …. in relieving ones stress levels. How is it that gossip is relevant to the topic chosen for discussion today i.e., professionalism of management? In day-today gossips we find people in general, using terms / phrases like : Occupation, profession, professionalism, be a professional, show your professionalism etc. But I doubt with what connotations and meanings we use theses terms and phrases. May be, by being professional we mean to be more sincere …. more tactful …. more technical, more smart … more educated and so on. By having such a limited meaning of the word profession and professionalism …. how close are we towards the actual meaning of these. I am not kidding, calling oneself a professional has almost become a fashion. ................................... Last but not the least, we should acknowledge the contribution of Sociologists who have been studying occupations, jobs, works and crafts and of course Professions for quite some years. The field of study is popularly known as 'Sociology of Professions'. The trend reports brought out by Indian Council of Social Science Research are worth reading with regard to literature reviews on professions. It looks like an abrupt ending …. no I told you …. it is little more than a gossip …so gossips end abruptly. The view points are deliberately put in first person to make it a light reading. I don't think I will be able to make it more lighter a reading than this. This discussion is little more than a gossip and common sense. If the intellectual curiosities of practicing managers / professionals is raised the purpose of the write up is served. The making of a profession and calling is more mysterious and historical than we imagine. Have interest to know more … dil mangta hai more ? have a look at the recommended readings.

A governing body, composed of respected members of the profession, oversees members compliance. …. On balance we believe that a profession, with well-functioning institutions of discipline, will curbs misconduct because moral behavior is an integral part of the identity of professionals – a self-image most are motivated to maintain." – Rakesh Khurana and Nitin Nohria (HBR, October 2008).

We all tend to be obsessed with past either good or bad , pleasant or unpleasant …. and land up or end up for no where to go.
| Memories of Past
"The unsavory memories of the past should not become such convictions that bind us and restrict our freedom to evolve and grow. Treat the present as a "present" a gift free of the past. Let's wake up to dream about the wonderful future that beckons us" – Deepak M Ranade (Speaking Tree, Times of India, April 19, 2011).
We all tend to be obsessed with past either good or bad , pleasant or unpleasant …. and land up or end up for no where to go. End up and find no way or time for the apparent or the present. It so happens that we are so much carried away by the past the past that went wrong …. and we miss the bus of the present which is more real and which is more under our control. It is time we realize that what went right or wrong was just alright ….what is infront of us right now is important because …… that was our future some time back and that would be our past after some time. Let us enjoy the present…..feel the present…..give our best to the present….which will take care of our future past and future future. Trust me, be fully present in the present, be smiling. Be smiling as it is going to be your past and future.

My professor's (Prof.Leela Mullatti) precious/valued letters to me (Rajashekhar Devarai)
April 19, 2011 Dear Rajashekhar, I red your paper (Devarai, R.S and Ramesh LSRCV. 1999. Librarianship and the professional model : a sociological tutorial and critique.- Library Science with a slant to Documentation and Information Studies, 36(3). It is a very well studied and well written paper. To be able to give competent comments I myself must be competent in the field. You have advanced too much ahead of me which is my pleasure and pride. I like your concluding remark very well. For last 15 or more years, i have not been into any studies. Relaxing and improving my physical and mental status through Vipassana and other forms of exercises has been my main involvement, because i did not want to be a drag on my busy children. One of my classmates Mrs Sheela Nadakarni was a librarian at Bombay university.and my another friend's husband Mr Deshpande was quite a competent librarian. I dont think either of them use even computers. I will let you know if i get any more information.i tried to register for netlog without success. Pl send mail on email. Love. Mullatti Madam (sociology professor) leela_mullatti@yahoo.co.in |

Problems refine, redefine and lead you towards realization ... LbnRaj
| Problems "Problems make us more compassionate. They help us mature, and make us more resistant and the same time create sensitivity in us ….. Remember that from dirt emerges the beautiful lotus, from the scorching heart comes the shower of relief and from the depth of pain springs joy" Arup Mitra (The speaking Tree, Times of India, April 18, 2011)
The power of problems so overwhelming and over powering that we get lost in tremendous grief. We succumb to problems …. We rarely are able to see the green pastures that are opened up by each and every small or big problem. Problems can work for us for fine tuning of our skills and talents and innate strengths. Problems are a blessing …. Only thing we should not give up on our dreams and wishes. Hold on to your dream …. Hold on to your inner urges and go ahead ….. if nothing works for you …. Just hold on … every thing will be alright … just hold on….wait what you cannot resolve … solve …. Face …. God enables … God facilitates in such a way that …. A way is found once again under so much of grief and sorrow and darkness. There comes the small back … there comes a new hope. Librarians are people who normally don't succumb to problems …. They are winners as they leave it to God for the work of healing and soothing. Cheers …. !!!!! Face the problems …. Be honest …. Be yourself …. There is a way out … for sure just trust yourself …. Trust God. LbnRaj ; lotus5673@yahoo.co.in ; http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com ; Librarianship is a noble profession http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ 1816gbgv |

Friday musings of LibrarianRaj on BRICS, Mind and Net Access by Rural India: April 15, 2011
| Friday musings of LibrarianRaj on BRICS, Mind and Net Access by Rural India: April 15, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday musings of LbnRaj : April 15, 2011 1. Times of India editorial asserts that the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) is clearly an association in the making . Ya good it is in the making … many things in their beginnings would be such that people at large even hesitate to acknowledge the beginning. To me it is not the beginning or making …. It is the great beginning and a great making. Frank Wisner says that there is no political connectivity between BRIC powers ….. so what ….. mutual interests make strong connectivity's. Let us watch and see …. How this force falsify all tall reservations of experts and politicians. 2. TOI editorial says …. "Net access could transform rural India…" Any thing that is in the making raise doubts of every one … .. IT intrusion in the rural India will bring to the fore the un intentional ….. not thought of alternative for development. A true democracy may be kindled by this so called IT Intrusion. Believe me. Librarians have a lot to do in this regard …. Let us watch and see how they show their indispensability. 3. Shri Shri Nimishananda on the Purpose of Mind : "Allow others the freedom to be as they are, without imposing your mindset of thoughts and ideas. Have faith and belief that God is in you. Spend some time quietly everyday thinking about your inner self and chanting the name of God. This way our mind which seeks information can be changed into a mind meant for the transformation of o ur very life itself from human to Divine" (Times of India, Speaking Tree, April 15, 2011) Librarianship is a noble profession http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/1816gbgv |
