The room was full of very bright, intelligent and aware youngsters in a higher education institute in India. They all had qualified to be there after a hard fought competition with a success rate of under 5%. I was privileged to be amongst the future of India and was truly impressed with their sharp minds and questions posed to me recently when I delivered a guest lecture. Towards the end of the session, I had to make a point of my own to get them to the next level of action. So a series of 3 questions: Q1. How many of you want to top the class? Response : 100% Q2 How many of you know what to do to top the class? Response Almost 60% (balance 50% definitely need guidance) Q3 How many of you who know what to do are doing that NOW? Response Not a single student This has got me really thinking......... Do we do what we should be doing? If not why not?
Moving on from the core theme of only consumers to a broader Indian complexity. An amazing country that can be challenging to understand due to its diversity - economically, socially, linguistically, racially and what not. Enjoy the THALI as they say....
