You may wonder what is a wolf has to do with the leadership here. When I decided to take a session on leadership, I wanted to re-deliver the core content in a different perspective. A quality of an effective leader is to empower his people through new experiences and opportunities. Here I picked this point to give a new perspective on leadership. Also, I considered this as an opportunity to connect one of my interest 'Wildlife' with the session. That’s how wolf came into the play here. Hence I've attempted to use the analogy of wolf behaviour and attitude with leadership.  Hence it is post is about Analogy of wolf attitude and leadership. PC: Google  In the picture, you can notice a pack of wolf trailblazing through the wild. The wolves here are strategically placed to face any confrontation or any uncertainty. It is important to understand and decode their strategy. Here is a quick explanation of how they are placed. The wolves in the red circle are

Udhaifala is a tribal village located 15km from Sarada block of Udaipur, Rajasthan. The temperature in Rajasthan during summer rises up to 45ºC. There is no electricity supply to the school resulting in high humid inside classroom during summer and post-summer. Udhaifala school at monsoons. Doesn't feel like Rajasthan right? As part of Gandhi fellowship, I work in this primary school which consists 4 classrooms out of which only 2 is functional. It is very congested to seat all 83 students in two classrooms without electricity, resulting in lack of concentration among students and teacher often lose interest in classroom teaching.   The proposed solution to the problem should be cost-effective and works practically without electricity. I strongly remember a Bangladeshi firm trying an experiment of making a zero electricity air cooler without electricity itself. After a small research, I came up with the know-how of the solution.  So this is the how part of th

September 2017, Chawand Village, Udaipur, Rajasthan. Name: Asian Open Bill Location: Maharana Pratap lake, Sarada Block, Udaipur. Shot on: One Plus X (a 13-megapixel mobile phone) I didn’t expect her to fall into my frame. It was a random click counting on my luck but the outcome proved me lucky.  It was not baited, set up or called in.  I didn’t hope much to click interesting takeoff or flight shot when the Bill left the tree. In fact, it was peacefully settled at the top of the small tree, and a sudden bike engine noise provoked her to move away from the place. I felt it was not a common sight for a visitor. On my way back, I realised that I should really pay attention to discover the beauty next to me.  

August 2017. Chawand Village,  Udaipur District,  Rajasthan.   I am inclined to write about Baya Weavers because this is a common bird with uncommon skills and intelligence. I am posted at Chawand village, in Udaipur district of Rajasthan for my two-year fellowship journey. One weekend morning I stumbled upon a nearby lake in pursuit of my usual birdwatching hobby. Within minutes of arriving there in an August morning, I noticed small birds spinning around in circles. I happened to notice trajectory of one bird. He (bird) got my attention because it was shuttling between one tree to another tree in particular. Just a quick googling right there helped me to know their name. "Baya Weavers" ( Thookanam Kuruvi - Tamil ) Baya weavers are one such bird we often come across while travelling outskirts of the city. Most of us would have seen their hanging nest on high trees. Knowing about their life would be worth interesting and hence spending your time re
