The Case of the Bonsai Manager

  by  leo.prie.to 

Been reading one of my books - "The Case of the Bonsai Manager" by R. Gopalakrishnan for the past few days. I must confess that I purchased this book on impulse a few months  ago. Actually > 1 year to be precise.

The USP of the book is that it -

1. Discusses knowledge, intuition & wisdom as necessary tools for a successful manager.
2. Brings out cases of how a manager can become a Bonsai Manager (which is bad) due to blindspots.
3. Enumerates similarities between Nature and Business ecosystems to draw valuable lessons
4. [still reading .... ]

If you have a chance, check out this gem ....

Monsoon Wedding

Rains have begun in Pune and its given me a mood to write something. Suddenly it struck me why not try fropper. Writing about yourself is fun, whats even more fun is entertaining someone through it. 

Hope you find my writing entertaining. Writing can be a stress buster and with the showers turned on, my resolution is to write and be released from any indoor boredom. 

One of my resolutions is to get a digicam - the lowest budget type and fill pictures between every paragraph. A picture speaks a thousand words right ? Started growing plants in my terrace, yes I fortunately live in a 3rd floor apt. which has a beautiful terrace. 

The beauty has enhanced and has boosted my interest in plants. I look at trees on either side of the road while driving. Yes, its like falling in love with cars or girls. 

I've taken a fancy to bonsai tree culture, which is a dwarfed version of the actual tree or plant. I fell in love with this after visiting Jagap Nursery (at poolgate, near golibar maidan ,pune). 

Again, the void of a picture is being felt here. After speaking to the person growing these bonsai trees , I've got this desire to grow trees for at least 30 years i.e. the bonsai version. 

To top it all , after a couple of posts, I hope I have the desire to write about it too
