Nothing
Serious…

Dale Carnegie may turn in his grave today. The
trainers and motivators are going to shout. The
training managers may slam their doors on me. Let
them. You, the readers, won’t be able to deny that
creating, sustaining and nurturing negativity is a
matter of great scholarly initiative/intervention. Ask
anyone alone. Their wisdom may surpass my
amateurish paper scribbling.

by description, he is a
well published writer,
author and digital
expressionist.
The real anchor of negativity could be the brilliant
Boss. He is the champion of thriving on chaos. His
pursuit of self wow and his ever evolving circle of
innovation may push Tom Peters to hide behind his
covers. Forget about teaching the elephants to
dance. People in the organisation can do their tango
or break dance with even a single spark of
negativity. Organisational fireworks shine brighter
day in and day out. I some times wonder why
Diwali is celebrated only once in a year.
How often have you come across a newspaper with
only good, neat and clean news, views and stories?
Never. People like reading and complaining about
law and order problems, dirty politics etc. How
many movies have you seen without violence and
other socially forbidden ingredients? Hardly any.
Those who venture get bombed before the release.
OK, how many TV serials have you seen with clean
simple messages – direct as well as indirect. The
sponsors don’t pay money for them.
