Anthem of the Red Corridor


The other day, I was having a conversation with an old acquaintance about the developments of the state in tackling the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency, and the CRPF's role in it. So I thought to myself, why not convey the sentiments experienced by each side through a poem, while compiling relevant information for those unfamiliar with the issue?

Responding to Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir's Speech

Image
Image source: Hindustan Time s So, since Pakistan is a plastic democracy and the military establishment holds authority over the state, General Asam Munir, the Pakistan Army Chief, has decided to embarrass himself once again. As an Indian, since the comparison was made with my country, I feel obliged as a dutiful neighbor to give a reality check to this uneducated, depraved, and ignorant representative of a vastly brainwashed and unconstructive population. "Our religions are different, our customs are different, our traditions are different." - Absolutely. Your customs and traditions are resemblant of those from two thousand years ago, that's why the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan was celebrated (even though you're getting pummeled by the same Taliban now). Your society is not just patriarchal, it's misogynistic, and there's no concept of tolerance and secularism, which ironically the white stripe on your flag stands for. You celebrate the invaders that threa...

Tokyo Love Story (1991) - Classic Review

Image
Year Released: 1991 No. of Episodes: 11 Having watched a dozen anime in my teenage years, I decided to deep dive into the world of Japanese entertainment once again. Only this time, looking for a classic Japanese television show instead, one that was worth my time. Upon some research, I got to know about Tokyo Love Story, a decently popular drama released in 1991. I watched the entire show, with English subtitles of course (thanks to a team of generous fans) and so, I have decided to review it today. There is something enticing about Japan in the 1990s, a time when technology was relatively new and trends were in stark contrast to those seen today. Tokyo Love story encapsulates that era quite well and offers a good opportunity for inquisitive audiences to get an idea of how things were back then, be it in regards to the busy nature of the city (which likely hasn`t changed) or even the fashion (which, by today`s standards, may be considered outdated by some). But what`s important are ...

Using Management Tools and Theories To Decipher the Relationship Between Work Hours and Productivity

Image
The recent statement by the chairman of Larsen and Toubro, pushing for employees to work 90 hours a week, stirred up backlash, which was first instigitated by Infosys co-founder Narayan Murthy's repeated defense of the belief that employees should invest 70 hours of their week working for the benefit of their organization, thus streamlining the nation's progress. Netizens were upset and furious over the neglect of work-life balance, calling out the toxic work culture that has been normalised and promoted in corporates, masked by words with disciplinary connotations such as 'work ethic.' It makes sense to dissect the argument from a hypothetical angle, using theoritical tools and concepts taught to management students, as that would simultaneously help in understanding their relevance and practical application in corporate affairs. The ideal scenario for leaders like Mr. Narayan Murthy and Mr. S.N. Subrahmanyan, would be one where employees are generating the highest pos...
