Article - 1: KISS Principle
Alexander Pope had once said, "There is certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness (charm) of wit." The KISS principle is based on the same idea. KISS stands for KISS – KEEP IT SWEET & SIMPLE; KISS – KEEP IT SIMPLE & STRAIGHTFORWARD; KISS – KEEP IT SIMPLE & STUPID etc. Thus, the principle says that when you keep things simple, you never tend to encounter complexities. Things with structured logic are always easy to comprehend. They connect easily with the person in front and are always true in nature. Let us understand how KISS works in the following “6” areas:
In Self – Development
The more and more simplicity you follow in your life, more you go higher in your life. It is said that ‘plain living & higher thinking’ (Mr. Gandhi, Mr. Nelson Mandela). This maxim is true in all respect and if a person following this simple principle, he is true and real in every sense. He is always loved by all because of his rock solid personality.
In Business
If any organization has simple rules and regulations, simple HR policy, Simple procedures and simplicity in all respect then we can say that organization is following the principle of ‘transparency’ whereby all concerned enjoy their work and perform to the best extent. As we know simple procedures brings simple outputs. We also know very well that how in software all difficult codes were written in its simplest form. Keeping things simple in any business will reduce the room for any errors. It will not only make maintenance easy but will also keep it fresh and healthy in the long run. Employees can be handled in a better way if the foundation of a business is simple. Hence, the principle can tackle a lot of problems at work if you implement it.
In Communication
John Powell says, "Communication works for those who work at it." A person who is modest, humble and simple while talking is always loved by all. When a person communicates in a simple and straightforward manner, he easily bonds with the listener. A simple speech is always simple to modify on the eleventh hour. It is always easy to make any last minute changes when the basis itself is short and simple. Hence, to have an effective communication, let your speech be precise, straightforward and simple.
In Reading
If you are into reading a lot of books, then you must have come to know that sweet and simple books often connect really well with the reader. A book, for which you need to refer a dictionary now and then, is hardly read till the last page. Whereas, a book which is straight, simple and crystal clear is many a time, read more than once.
In Writing
Jules Reynard says, "Writing is the best way to talk without being interrupted." If you are writing a letter to a friend, it has to love enough to fetch a reply. For that, it has to be written in the simplest possible way. Only then it can sound warm and straight from the heart. As a writer, you need to think about the target audience who will be reading your work. If they don't comprehend it well, then what is the point in writing it? A perfect piece of written art would be the one which is simple and yet, contains a perfect gist of all the requirements.
In Designing
When it comes to designing a fabric, a plain colored simple dress always leaves a mark. An over-dressed person is usually ignored by all. Hence, keeping things simple will make you look natural and real. On the other hand, if you are about to design a software, then the most important thing that you should concentrate on is the user interface. If it allows a user to click on a variety of buttons and eventually lands him up on the same page, he is sure to shut it down at once. Hence, the simpler you keep it, the better it works. Even when you are designing a website, a simple homepage always attracts a lot of readerships. Brian Reed says, "Everything is designed. Few are designed well."
To conclude, lastly, a simple way to implement the KISS principle is to simply make it happen! Once you decide to put things in a simple manner, you no longer need to worry about success. It shall follow. After all, every individual wishes to be happy and contented! I hope you are motivated to apply this principle in every walk of your life. I am sure, it will fetch you your targets!
Article - 2: Paradigm Shift
The term ‘Paradigm Shift’ got popularity in 1962 by an esteemed science expert Thomas Kuhn through his highly valued book, ‘The Structure of Scientific Revolutions’. The concept behind paradigm shift is ‘holistic’ which was purely based on assumptions & theories which later on resulted in big progress with ‘holistic’ change in ‘attitude’ & ‘perception’. In other words we can say that paradigm shift is a ‘violent revolutions’ i.e. a ‘transformation’ in thinking process from one point of view to another which can be better understood with the help of following examples………
1. In Culture – Earlier we cannot even think of Gay marriage, Homosexuality and Lesbian concept; something that was abhorred years ago is considered to be acceptable today. Similarly, slavery, wife – beating, racial discrimination, child labor, widow marriage, child marriage and sati pratha etc. were all in society in the past. As of now, these things are highly unacceptable and against the law and almost abolished from the society.
2. In Business – In organizations, earlier focus was on ‘Profit Maximization’ which was later shifted to ‘Wealth Maximization’ whereby almost all organization has shifted their view from ‘Customer Satisfaction’ to ‘Human Satisfaction’. As of now, management has also shifted their view from ‘mechanical’ in nature to ‘humanistic’ thereby ensuring good results for the organizations.
3. In Biology – The theory of Evolution by Charles Darwin (how living being changed from an ape man to modern men; formation of new species from the older ones etc) and Taxonomy (classification of different species and their relationship) discarded all previous assumptions and theories and brought new ideas and at the same time changed the way science and the world looks at evolution.
4. In Technology – the best example is Computer, Internet, Online Shopping, Email and Text Messaging, Mobile Phones etc. which replaced all old form and types of communication mode and network.
5. In Science – After the theory of ‘Special Relativity’ by Albert Einstein and its declaration after some year challenged the existing structure completely and paved the way for new ideas.
To conclude, "Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.", as was rightly observed by George Bernard Shaw.
Article - 3: A bird watching is an interesting game
Well what I came to know about this statement is simply a kind of an activity that involves observation of birds around you. But this not only involves observation, it also involves study of birds with continuous observation. Bird watching is also known as birding. And scientifically this study of birds is known as Ornithology. And the person who observes and study birds is known to be as Ornithologist, but this is when you take it as a profession. Some people take it as a hobby also and enjoying it as an interesting or a fun game. That is why we can also say that “Birds watching is an interesting game”.
10 Points about this topic on basis of my understanding:
1. Well I take bird watching as an interesting and fun game, as early in the
morning is best time to watch birds as they are so active at that time and
we can also actively participate in watching them so early in the morning.
Sometime they used to play with there young ones, searching for foods,
they used to produce different sounds and that was so pleasant to ears.
So we can enjoy seeing all this.
2. Now if we enjoying traveling to different places than birds watching can
be the best thing to do, as it involves continuous traveling in order to find
out new species.
3. But this bird watching involves patience, so we have to be patient while
searching for new species. And it also requires knowledge about birds
such as there appearance, sounds they produce, behavior and there habitat.
4. Bird watching is a relaxing and to some extent in expensive to us we can
enjoy this with our friends, family etc. It is inexpensive as it not requires
too many things to carry with us, as it only involves a pair of binoculars,
field book, camera and a note book to make few notes. So whenever we go
out for a search of birds to different places we can also enjoy a picnic or a
vacation trip there. So this also makes it an interesting game which
involves study with fun.
5. It is also an interesting game, as an immense relationship is made with a
nature around us while we watch birds.
6. Birds watching can be done at any stage of our life whether we are young
or old we can do bird watching. So it can keep us busy after our
retirement too when we take it as a hobby. And this also brings people
together of a same family.
7. But when we take bird watching as a profession we come across different
peoples (Birders). And with them we learn to work in a team. And we
enjoy living with other birders. We come across different places that
sometime involves some adventure too so that also make it an interesting
game.
8. Through Bird watching we can come to know about various things which
we can implement in our life’s like we see how a bird nurture their young
ones, hold them till their first flight, how they enjoy there life without any
stress and tensions and many more things we can learn from them. So this
also makes it as an interesting game that involves learn with fun.
9. It was eye catching experience to see birds flying over the sea, so we can
spot a picnic near to coastal region where we can found some new species
and can see that lovely scene of group of birds flying just a little above the
sea. That also counts a lovely interesting and beautiful experience of bird
watching.
10. Sometime we see group of birds flying in sky makes different different
Images and give resemble of other things like that of an airplane etc.
So that also makes birds watching as an interesting game.
So above mentioned points are my understandings about the topic:
“Bird’s watching is an interesting game”.
Article - 4: Any Event without Budget
The topic given to us is very challenging which looks for out of box thinking and at the same time forcing us to collate nice data & information which will in return help us a lot.
I have chosen one event without Budget – Inside college premises which is worth mentioning: First Event – Inside College Campus
“Short Documentary Film Making on - Value Based Education”
As we know very well that now a day’s making a film is very expensive but for me it is not expensive rather I will be able to raise ‘Funds’ without any extra effort. The following points are worth mentioning without involving any “Budget”:
1.Story – As we know very well that making any film wants story; so story is ready with the help of my friends available on the campus be it class-mate, batch-mate, college-mate etc. I took complete ideas from my friends, teachers, all academic heads and finally my ‘script’ is ready.
2. Who will Act – In this film my all friends will be acting who has already performed in his or her career earlier as an artist in their schools or colleges.
3. Location – I am fortunate enough to say that my college campus is almost 100 acres. So, I will utilise my college campus which has nice greenery all around best fit and most suitable for any kind of shootings and I have very big green field in my college to release film for more than 5000 students at a time.
4. Cameras – I will use my own Digital Camera and one of my friends is also having video cameras for long shots.
5. Sound – I can download all sound effects from GOOGLE free of cost with nice suggestions how to use as and when required.
6. Music – I am blessed with GOD gifted Composer, Lyricist and Singer in my college itself.
7. Release – I have planned to release this movie just before summer vacation or winter vacation so that all good learning from the movies can be practised at home.
8. Publicity – I have my accounts with all social networking sites which is as of now is a powerful medium to convey any message. I will put all posters, images, pamphlets etc. on these websites and at the same time I will invite all Top slots from the academics & organizations which will attract media automatic thereby that several sponsors will come in contact with us through which we will raise funds for “Charity”.
In fine I can say that nothing is impossible because the word “Impossible” itself says – I am possible.

"3" reasons why you think it is important to encourage reporting sexual violence.
Without any formalities I would like to draw your kind attention towards these serious issues which is increasing day by day and we are helpless to stop this which is alarming and should be nipped in the bud.
I had started my career as a Tutor when I was just 11 years young for my pocket money. My observation is based on facts which I saw when I used to go for taking tuition classes for 2 kids studying in 3rd & 4th standard whereby one was girl and other was boy from the same family – Brother and Sister. To my surprise, the treatment given to both of them was shocking – brother used to sit at Chair & Sister used to sit on the floor. At that time I had no understanding why all these things are happening and at the same I was surprised & shocked because in my family my parents treated us equal.
Now I got the idea why parents in almost 90% home is treating female child totally different from male child. This is not at all any psychological, physiological or sociological problem rather this is so simple just like the difference between Homeopathy medicine & Allopathic medicine. For example – if we get a headache and when we take Allopathic medicine we get immediate relief within 15 minutes but in case of Homeopathy medicine it takes minimum 45 to 60 minutes, why? The reason is very simple – Allopath suppress the headache i.e. never try to find out symptoms but Homeopath try to find out symptoms and then cure it that is why it takes longer periods.
The same is applicable in case of SEXUAL VIOLANCE which is happening in India. This SYMPTOM which cannot be suppressed by any force factor rather it needs Homeopathic treatment. The root cause for this in India only due to “VALUE” among parents about female child born in their families. The VALUE of Boys vs. Girls in 90% home in India is 80:20 i.e. male child gets each & every facility in all respect up to 80% but female child gets only 20%. The reason is so loud among Indians which is worth mentioning:
1. In the eyes of parents – only male child will support them when they grew old.
2. In the eyes of parents – only male child can continue next generation.
3. In the eyes of parents – only male child will stay with them for the whole life.
4. In the eyes of parents – only male child can provide financial safety & security to them.
5. In the eyes of parents – only male child can bring proud & respect to their families etc.
What I mean to say that parents think that if everything is possible only with the help of male child then why to INVEST on female child which is not going to give them any RETURN.
3 reasons why you think it is important to encourage reporting sexual violence:
1. It will extend AWARENESS among people so that it will not be repeated again.
2. It will increase the VALUE & RESPECT for that FEMALE in the eyes of Country people.
3. It will bring a drastic change in everybody ATTITUDE & PERCEPTION just how to behave with FEMALE at every place.
Article - 6: Beauty Vs Brain
For the Motion:
Now if I have to write for the motion I will go with Brain because brain is much more important than beauty as brain is countable in most of the areas or most of the stages of human life. Brain is something that is real, we cannot increase the capacity of our thinking, or our IQ just by having a surgery but beauty can be enhanced or increased by a cosmetic surgery. So brain is something that is real and will remain natural.
In fields like Science, technology, politics, and there are many more fields also where our talent and brain is required not our beauty and there are many people who have done so well, inspite of the facts that they are not beautiful like Einstein, Dr. APJ Kalam etc. So I don’t think so for getting success beauty is the necessary element. Because people like Einstein, Dr. APJ Kalam etc have reached the heights of success just on the basis of their talents and brain. So for them their brain is there beauty.
Now I would like to clear my point with an example- As I have completed my MBA course, and appearing for interviews and there interviewer will select me for the knowledge I possess, my talent, creativeness,IQ level, attitude not on my beauty. Yes personality counts a lot during the selection procedure of a candidate but ratio is always high for brain and talent.
As we can see that, person who qualify for civil services, medical exams, engineering exams or many more high level exams have qualified on the basis of their brains not on their beauty. So there are many more examples where people have achieved a great height in there life and that too only on the basis of there talent and thinking capacity of brain.
So at last we can say that “if the person is talented enough, he should be able to make it to the top, irrespective of his looks and beauty”.
Against the Motion:
Not only talented is the only requirement in this world to reach the great heights in career. There is many people who choose acting, modeling, and other forms of entertainment where beauty of a person, looks, personality matters a lot.
Now in today’s scenario outer packaging is much more important than the inner content, cover of a book is more important than the whole book i.e. if the cover of a book is attractive people perceived that book should also be good but that was just their perception. So in a nut shell we can say that outer beauty or looks is counted more than the inner beauty (knowledge, values, pure soul etc).As we can perceive people on his outer look or beauty.
Like when we meet a human being, the very first thing that we notice is the way he looks and it is quiet natural, there is nothing wrong about that too. In many conditions a person's talent is ignored just because he/she happens to look. But in the professional or the personal life, a man or woman needs to have a good personality to climb that ladder of success.
Now a question arises that, why do we need to look beautiful to be successful? Except of course in the glamour world of movies/modeling, it is raw talent and our ability to talk our way through challenging situations that makes us to meet success face-to-face. Because in this glamour world the only one thing that is much required is BEAUTY. But somehow brain is also needed with beauty but ratio between the two will always high with beauty, as during Miss. India, Mr. India, Miss. World or many more competitions, brain is also required as there is one round there judges check your IQ by asking few questions. But if you are beautiful and having good looks you have cross or qualify half of the race. So that clearly indicates that for glamour world Beauty is in demand, necessary requirement.

How you will bring your business school among Top 10?
This is a very good topic to think upon and I am feeling glad to give my views on this topic. I am proud to be from SPEC and will be obliged to take SPEC among top 10 business school. But for this we have to identifying the loop poles or have to identify various areas where SPEC is lacking behind from Top most Institutes and then take corrective measure to fulfill those loop poles and work on those areas where we are lacking behind.
10 Points about this topic on basis of my understanding:
Now suppose if I have that responsibility to take SPEC to top 10 ranking among business school, than I will work on following areas:
1. Firstly, the most important factor that can take SPEC among top 10 business school is that by selecting only Quality student because students are the only source which makes the name and fame of the Institute. Example: IIM’S is nothing without there quality students. So we would take only quality of students by setting a certain parameter’s for selection criteria and by taking students only on basis of CAT score. And work on phenomenon of quality of students not on quantity of students.
2. Secondly, by focusing more on providing excellent placement and for that we need to have excellent corporate network and will like to increase as many corporate network by having regular eminent guest speakers from reputated companies and have regular alumni meets with our past or ex students. Placement is also necessary to take an institute on high rank so I will work on this area with all possible efforts and try to increase corporate channel with all possible means. And will provide 100% placement to all students in reputated companies.
3. Thirdly, by providing High class teaching environment with high technology. By providing unparalleled faculty with excellent qualification and vast teaching experience so that faculty can give there best to the students and then students can utilize that knowledge in their corporate life.
4. Fourthly, by providing excellent infrastructure for the students which includes well equipped IT labs, Quality of books in a Library(24*7),classrooms(with all equipped technology),in built Hostel, good transportation facility etc.Campus should be Wi Fi so that students can access internet anywhere and anytime.
5. Next I will try to provide or schedule regular corporate visits with Reputated companies so that students can understand about working environment and knowledge about different different companies, than I will try to work on arranging workshops by eminent personalities every weekends etc with maximum participation of the students.
6. Next try to bring the phenomenon of “Beyond Class Room Learning” for the students by involving students in various research work either individual or in group(Team work), handling different projects and to make reports of that project that too either individual or in group. Daily providing them real life case studies so as to increase their Decision Taking capacity.
7. Next by developing students with unparalleled leadership skills, verbal communication skills, managerial skills and personality which are the must needed demand of each and every reputated company. So I will try to provide all this, so students can get recruitment in good companies.
8. Try to provide global and corporate exposure to each and every students, by providing a foreign educational visits every year, try to provide excellent companies for summer training n final training projects so as students can get maximum exposure of a corporate life. Try to link our SGI with some reputated foreign Universities like
9. Try to bring good academic excellence, disciplined and strict administration so that students can’t break rules and laws of college, with some parameters govern by Board of Members which is mandatory for both students and faculty.
10. Lastly try to bring the atmosphere of “Learn with Fun” for all my students. So as they don’t get exhausted with studies.
