Articles Ban on crackers? Or a gimmick! To Delhi, the ban on the sale of crackers came as a distress while to some it came as a sigh of relief. The Supreme Court of India, re-imposed the bar on trade of fireworks, suspending all licenses that accede the vending of fireworks wholesale and retail within the territory of Delhi-NCR, pronouncing the reason being the deterioration of air quality, on account of bursting of crackers. However, there was no ban on bursting crackers. If looked upon from the right purview Ban on bursting crackers is more important than the ban on its retailing. Bringing upon a great trounce to the traders the law remained botched to accomplish the ramification as expected. The Ban along with the losses added corruption in terms of buying crackers from outside Delhi on double the price, or through meandering purchases within the NCR. In my view the law should have taken the blanket implementation and awareness among the people should have been increased using media, so that people could have refrained from buying and bursting crackers rather than making it a status symbol at the cost of their health. -Shailendra Singh MBA 2 nd YEAR The kick to the winning street! One day in the school, was swimming in the pool. When I kicked back the wall, felt like playing football. I was there in a ground, and was followed by a hound. He polished all my skills, By chasing through the hills. When I finally got down, with not a single frown. I gathered all my friends, And taught them all the bends. We all formed a team, Like a bright light beam. Boney good at goal, And I just block the whole. With not a single scratch, We won all the match. -Shailendra Singh MBA 2 nd Year
Gandhigiri In Management One man with single piece of cloth on his body,one stick, one pair of spectacles, one voice, one opportunity and it s accomplished. This man, though world recognized, often vanishes from our minds. He is none other than the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi with divine principles, incredible ideas and breath taking courage. He used to say that he has nothing to teach to this world, but now is remembered for the lessons he taught. Management is the art of getting things done through with the help of others to achieve the organisational goals. This is an old definition but if we concentrate on the meaning, then we can say that management is getting work done efficiently without doing it yourself. Well let s apply some principles of Gandhiji s life to management, who knows; they might eventually turn out to be better than Taylor s and Fayol s. Gandhiji s first principle was truthfulness. Truthfulness bole toh sab sach bolne ka par management ke saath iska kya lena dena Management mei sab sach nahi bolega toh kaam kaise hoga, kaam nahi karega toh organisation aage aayega kaise, coordination sahi hoga kya. So by this the first principle is very much important. It reduces conflict and improves team spirit. The second principle is non violence. The question which may be raised would be how non violence is related with management? The answer might be that respect and honour one has for the rest. A blow with a word strikes deeper than blow with a sword. So the words and the respect that one shows might affect the morale of the person. So being non violent is to be tranquil at work. The third principle is simplicity. Lack of simplicity, complexity erupts, and it spoils the entire work plan. If the work assigned is simple, accomplishing the objectives becomes easy. Creating a high and formal setup disrupts the work, but if the same is done informally and with simplicity, may improve the quality of work. The last, but most important principle is the spirit of universal brotherhood. kaam kaisa bhi ho bhai chara toh hona hi chaiye. Varna Maza hi kya. We all agree to this that in any organisation, team spirit is essential for getting the work done faster and to eliminate all the insecurities. These principles will be great for better results. Ahimsa is the highest duty. Even if we cannot practice it in full, we must try to understand its spirit and refrain as far as is humanly possible from violence. Anoushka Goyal MBA 1ST Year
THE CHINESE CONCEPT OF BALANCED LIFE: YIN AND YANG Within light there is darkness, but do not try to understand that darkness. Within darkness there is light, but do not look for that light. Light and darkness are a pair, like the foot before and the foot behind in walking. Each thing has its own intrinsic value and is related to everything else in function and position. Ordinary life fits the absolute as a box and its lid. The absolute works together with the relative, like two arrows meeting in mid-air. -Unknown According to the Taoism life is the balance of two halves the yin and the yang. These are the starting points of change. When something is whole, by definition it is unchanging and complete. The word yin comes out to mean shady side and the yang sunny side. So when you split something into two halves yin/yang, it upsets the equilibrium of wholeness. This starts both having halves chasing after each other they seek new balance with each other. This article is focused on the concept of Taijitu (The symbol of Yin/Yang). Students needs to learn and imply these basic concept of the good and the evil so that they can sublime the energy which they are begotten from and learn to live the cosmic way. THE YIN-YANG SYMBOL & TAOIST COSMOLOGY What is the meaning of the Taijitu symbol? In terms of Taoist cosmology the circle represents Tao--the undifferentiated Unity out of which all of existence arises. The black and white halves within the circle represent Yin-qi and Yang-qi--the primordial feminine and masculine energies whose interplay gives birth to the manifest world: to the Five Elements and Ten-Thousand Things. Good and evil are a reflection of how people hold stories and values. Cosmically good and evil don t exist, it s an interpretation of our actions. As the Tao Te Ching states: When people see things as good, evil is created. While they may not exist in a cosmic since, we do exist, and our actions do impact life around us. Part of that process is learning how to use actions to be more graceful. Yet in that you can also open the door to what people will label as good and evil. Then Yin Yang will give us hints on how to modulate that circular dance between the two concepts. All of life (whether here on earth, or out in space) functions according to Natural Laws. There are several laws that bind us so we and everything else can live, beathe, etc. For example, the law of gravity. Without it, we'd all be chaotically careening about. Not a pretty proposition, especially if you're prone to motion sickness. My point is this: There's just gotta be rules that keep us grounded and well-rounded. Basic Concepts Defining the Nature of Yin Yang: what you need to know 1. Neither Yin nor Yang are absolute. Nothing is completely Yin or completely Yang. Each aspect contains the beginning point for the other aspect. For example: day becomes night and then night becomes day. Yin and Yang are interdependent upon each other so that the definition of one requires the definition for the other to be complete. The curves and circles of the Yin-Yang symbol imply a kaleidoscope-like movement. This implied movement represents the ways in which Yin and Yang are mutually-arising, interdependent and continuously transforming, one into the other.. One could not exist without the other, for each contains the essence of the other. Night becomes day, and day becomes night. Birth becomes death, and death becomes birth. Friends become enemies, and enemies become friends. As Taoism teaches, such is the nature of everything in the relative world.
2. Yin Yang is not static. The nature of Yin and Yang flows and changes with time. A simple example is thinking about how the day gradually flows into night. However, the length of day and night are changing. As the earth ages, its spin is slowing causing the length of day and night to get longer. Day and night are not static entities. Sometimes changes in the relationship between Yin and Yang can be dramatic where one aspect can literally just transform into the other. As an example: some species of fish have females that transform quickly into males when the population of males aren t enough. 3. Heads and Tails: Another Way Of Looking At The Yin-Yang Symbol The black and white halves of the Yin-Yang symbol are similar to the two sides of a coin. They are different and distinct, yet one could not exist without the other. The circle itself, which contains these two halves, is like the metal (silver, gold or copper) of the coin. The metal of the coin represents the Tao--wht the two sides have in common and what makes them "the same." When we flip a coin, we will always get either "heads" or "tails," one answer or the other. Yet in terms of the essence of the coin (the metal upon which the "heads" and "tails" symbols are imprinted) the answer will always be the same. 4. The summation of Yin and Yang form a whole. One effect of this is: as one aspect increases the other decreases to maintain overall balance of the whole. 5. Smaller Circles within The Larger Circle: Significantly, the Yin-Yang symbol contains smaller circles nested within each half of the symbol to serve as a constant reminder of the interdependent nature of the black/white opposites. It reminds the Taoist practitioner that all of relative existence is in constant flux and change. And while the creation of pairs-of-opposites would seem to be an aspect of our human software, we can maintain a relaxed attitude around this, knowing that each side always contains the other, as night contains day, or as a mother contains" the infant that she will give birth to in time. 6. The balance of Yin Yang can be skewed due to outside influences. Four possible imbalances exist: Deficiency Yang Deficiency Yin Excess Yang Excess Yin These imbalances can be paired: so an excess of Yin can also simulate a Yang deficiency and vice versa. As an example this concept is especially important for Chinese healing practices. So an excess of Yang results in a fever. An excess of Yin could mean the accumulation of fluids in the body. Chinese healing examines a person s health is in terms of the eight principles: Internal and External stimuli, Deficiency and Excesses, Cold and Heat and Yin and Yang. 7. Yin Yang can be subdivided into additional Yin and Yang aspects. For example a Yang aspect of Heat: can be further subdivided into a Yin warm or Yang burning. 8. Additional principles defining Yin and Yang qualities exist. The concepts listed here are merely a starting point to illustrate the nature of Yin and Yang. Usually as a practice Taoism does a good job of not codifying life. Which is ironic since many Taoist s can happily list out what is Yin and what is Yang. This article is inspired from the reading of Tao of physics authored by Fritj of Capra. PROF.FARHAT FATIMA
