Planning and Execution

Planning and execution are two facets of an activity in any enterprise or in any of the actions that may be performed at any point of time. Planning is ,therefore, a thought process prior to embarking in an activity and execution of that plan follows suit,  So, plan as a device is to be thought of carefully based on the goal desired to be achieved and to do so a foresight vision should also be developed.  If the thought processes do not proceed in this desired direction the end result  may not be a satisfying one.  Hence any plan should envisage an object, a time frame,a subject matter capable of  easy comprehension ,  a built-in methodology and last but not  least  a goal to be reached.  The planners should therefore possess the expertise required in this regard and if not the expertise is to be hired.  Planning, therefore, forms an integral part of any system
     After planning is made, execution follows suit. and such execution is to be carried out to the true letter and spirit of such plans  so that the desired end may be achieved.  .  Even while carrying out  execution of the plans  problems may be encountered and such problems are to be met with and resolved to achieve the goal set out in the plan.  Execution of a plan must also be time oriented and must also be a  practicable one as otherwise the plan made will be a meaningless one.   Also execution  that may be done must always be within the set parameters for that purpose as execution would have to be done in varying degrees dependent on the plans made.
     Planning, therefore, remains a precept while execution of the plan set calls for the adoption of a practice in that regard..

Basis of Attitude

     When I sat today to write this blog my mind was working only to find a way out either to overcome the  failures that may arise or to meet the failures and then  to find a way out for the recurrences of the same.  As I was pondering over this through out this day one  factor that cropped up  in my mind was that  either for the act of overcoming the failures prior to their occurrence or to meet if occurred revolves around the  presence of 'attitudes' that lie within us.  I have been,therefore, necessitated to scan through the literature in this regard.  I could only find attitude and its various variants have been highlighted and  heterogeneous ways suggested to adopt various attitudes.  'Attitude' after all encompasses an inclination, nature,temperament,mood,viewpoint etc  These compositions of the attitude emanate only from the compos mentis possessed by a person.  I t could,  therefore,  be emphasised that a mind set is to be drawn up before the adoption of a particular attitude which but lies in the hands of that particular person. It  is my considered view that if  the required  mindset has been 'set' it woud be but easy to overcome the failures or prevent their recurrences. Therefore 'Attitude' as a precept remains for all times to come while the application and enforcement of the attitude lies in the personsality concerned and practice in this regard becomes sine quo nom..     . 

Basics of ,Law,

     ,Law, in common parlance connotes , a rule or regulation intended to establish an order in a society..  The corresponding term used in Latin is LEX  The significance of this meaning can be better understood by posing a question viz., . whether one would like to drive safely as per the traffic rules or otherwise.  The answer is obvious.
   All countries in the world have for themselves a Constitution, being the primary law of that land, which not only provides the manner in which the political system of that country will be drawn but also provides for  'making of other laws' to meet the needs of the people.  The primary law is available as a TEXT OF THE CONSTITUTION while the other 'Laws' would be called as Law, enactment   Statute,or Act.  In otherwords, Other laws would be enacted based on the primary Law  and hence Other laws should not be ultravires the primary law  Other laws would be variants in nature since the subject matter for each law would also vary and each such law  would have been made with a purpose based on expediencies.  Hence  if a dispute or difference arises on a subject matter the relevant law is to be taken recourse to and the  rights and duties set out  in that  law would find its application.  It is only in this context the Courts of Law apply the particular law and hands out Judgments, of course ,based on the nature and circumstances of the case.  It may be pointed out at this juncture that the decions given by the Superior courts of Law would create a binding effect on all  the  courts below it.  Such binding decisions also become Law,  known as Judge-made Law although in the stricter sense of the term Courts of Law cannot make a 'Law' since such duty will be cast on the Parliament or the Legislature by the primary Law. Whatever name by whcih a Law may be called, obedience to law is essential for the establishment of good society. Therefore, Law as a precept will be available in every country in various dimensions and the obedience  or the breach thereof lies in the practice of the society at large.

Desire to work - Hard work Vs Devoted work

     Every person in his quest  for survival desires to be engaged in one activity or another.  In doing this exercise it is not the quest alone that matters but also an attitude to get befitted into the work with all volition.to derive satisfaction to the maximum degree. This principle is seldom followed since thoughts over  material gains are given preference over the aptitudinal aspects towards the work chosen.  As a result one lands in a work spot and tries to put in hardwork and gets exhausted besides himself also not achieving any satsfaction..It is to  be understood in this context that the management may also not favour him in the long run as he may be considered to be an extra burden.especially when the same output may be obtained in a much more easy fashion from the hands of a devoted worker. The case would be otherwise if the hard work done also turns out to be a devoted work with a heavy output..  But these types of persons would form part of a rare breed.  On the other hand, if a person chooses an activity commensurate with his aptitude he will turn out to be a devoted worker, thus satifying himself and also the management to which he belongs. Moreover the turn out from a devoted worker will be on the high side and that end would also havebeen achieved in a facile manner.when compared to a person who would have put in hardwork. In other words the principle to do a 'work'  remains authenticated for all times to come but the aptitudinal aspects towards work deserve  consideration depending on the nature of work. 

Acknowledgment of realities

   'Acknowledgment'  in common parlance connotes acceptance,affirmation,corroboration, recognition and as such this concept  stands as a testimony to the  acts and actions performed.  This concept,therefore, finds its way in every one's  life by some means or other at  various points of time.  As a consequence this concept is to be adopted,accepted and adapted by everyone and through such means any relationship may not only be fostered but also strengthened for a lasting life. Contrarily, if this concept is not pursued it is bound to boomerang to unexpected destinations.  More than  this, acknowledgment of the realities of life assume significance.  Realities in life may be said to fall under the theory of cause and effect; but many forget this as the  base which in turn jettison them. in unwanted directions.  This attitude needs correction and this can happen only when the mind set is focused towards the realities of life. Why this failure arises can be deciphered only when introspection is made and not otherwise. Many of my students asked me the question as to whether compensation awarded  to the relatives of an accident victim would suffice the purpose when a life itself is lost.    My answer to them was that the realities of life should not be forgotten explaining thereby that the deceased victim cannot be brought back by any means or by any person and that the only way out is to' place the relatives of the victim in a status as far as money could do' and thus  this way of approach remains in Law as a principle by itself. Although this one instance is cited to drive home the point that realities of life are to be understood it should not be construed  that that realities are to be understood only with reference to the cessation of life.  Even while being alive when acts are performed in a wrong way acknowledgement of the wrongs would pave way for correction and one should,therefore, endeavor.to create a mind set for himself towards this end and hence practice is to be made in this direction right from one's early life. The concept of 'Acknowledgement',therefore remains static and putting this concept into practice requires serious consideration and this means will turn bring forth peace and happiness for which alone we all strive to exist.. .     

Semantics of Communication

Communication - creates links, establishes and fosters  the relationships,enables liaison with the people in all walks of life,enables understanding of people, ,imparts  invaluable values, brings out the character of the personalities etc,So far so good. especially when actual communication takes place - be it verbal or through any other mode.  In general, communication takes place with all enthusiasm and fervor. when  one's mindset is attuned for the same and this results in reciprocity from the other end. This trend gives maximum happiness to maximum number.But the other aspect of non-communication deserves consideration. Contrarily  non-communication distances people,produces sour relationships, creates embarrassing situations and at times lead to cessation of relationships.  Reasons are not far to seek.  In these situations one has to do lot of introspection based on his own mental state - past and present as well - shedding one's ego and endeavor to diffuse the situation by effective means of communication. This approach from my end may appear to be embarrassing for a person, which in fact would happen. After all one who has consumed salt has to drink water to overcome the poisons produced by salt. If this practice is not practiced non communication may even lead one to gorgeous depth. It would,there be fitting to say that the precept of communication is static while the practice or non-practice of it is left to the mind set of a person and hence a variable phenomenon.   

To Be or Not To Be

I write this maiden blog after about 23 hours of initiation.When I was pondering over a caption  I was reminded of the Shakespearean question and  hence thoughts flow on these lines.

     Every person in his life has to face situations - expected or unexpected and at these times difficulties crop up to take a decisive decision and invariably he or she lands in a confounded state. At these times the captioned question may come to one's rescue. Though one may wonder as to how the application of this question is vital as regards expected situations.it may be said that he or she would have reached the situation but would not have thought about the consequences ensuing from the same.Under these circumstances if one makes up his mind and comprehends the situation in all dimensions  it would give the desired result followed by achievement and satisfaction.This principle applies on all force to meet unexpected situations.The need of the hour would definitely fill the gap yearned for before. The precept of following a command and obeying that command with ingenuity in order to meet a situation are steps to be pursued to be a 'complete man'  which which will in turn enhance one's internal and external personality.. Practice in this regard,therefore, becomes a must.since practice is but  procedural in nature while precepts are substantive  in nature.

Prologue for Precepts and Practices

I have chosen to enter the goup of bloggers  after realising that the thoughts entertained by me and practised in my life may be of some value addition to me by way of rumination and by way of creating an interest to the readers.
       As a person born in the year in which India obtained Independence I could be notr called a new man in the real sense of the term since my parents being prior 'independence' persons have inculcated certain values in me which I have followed and still following. Considering this status of mine  the precepts and practices learnt are at times found to be conflicting with the modern times. I have,therefore, determined to analyse the causes and effects of thisconflicting considerations in my ensuing blogs basing the analysis on my career as a law teacher for 3 decades and on my experience gained by interacting with various persons.
