Two management […]
I posted a blog about two distinguished persons whom I met in person in 2017 and their life story, passion and unique impactful work that they were doing left a deep impression on me. Guruji Ravindra Sharma and Shri Deepak Suchde whom we fondly addressed as Baba, in February 2017 at the Development Management Institute, […]
फिर क्या है वह जो मुझे मेरी खुद की आँखों में विशेष बना देता है ? तुलना करूँ तो यही समझ में आता है कि यदि कुछ अलग है मुझमें तो वह है मेरी सही या ग़लत सोच , अनुभूतियाँ और अपनी आँखों में अपनी औक़ात की सही ग़लत पहचान। अंग्रेज़ी मे रंगरेज़ी करें तो […]
