Accountability

Recently a lot of events that I am thinking about have boiled down to one important lesson for life. On accountability.

__

"Tu idhar udhar ki na baat kar
ye bata ki kafila kyun luta
humein reh zanon se gila nahi
teri rehbari ka sawaal hai"

__
a huge laid out project at work is flailing and there is no one who is accountable because everyone was true to its incentives and no one had the accountability.

__

nitpicking and complaining about what other has done is easy. advising is easy but what is difficult is to hold the pressure of accountability and responsibility on your head and do the deed, accomplish the task. So if you want to get the work done your way you also have to face the stress of accountability or your advise may or maynot be heeded.

self taken accountability is better than given because when taken it is generally taken with a knowledge that one could do it better than it is done right now.

The ' What if ? ' illusion

As humans, our mere ability to think 'What if?' makes us believe that we are in control. But do we really change things, do we affect the reality. If we do , to what degree? It is said that if a butterfly makes an extra flap of its wings, the reality can change so much so that after a decade a nonexistent cyclone can result.Is it really true? Even if it is, does the butterfly really have a control enough to make that extra flap? Is it really free will or an illusion of free will? A very fascinating example is seen in first person games like Prince of Persia or God of wars and so on.The game makers try hard to give the gamers a feeling that they can do anything in that virtual world. The game programmers know very well though that they can program only a limited number of options. There cannot be more than a finite number of stimulus- response pairs that they would have programmed. Even then, while we play the game we feel that we are in complete control (at least that is the ai...

Grannovator's model and india

Granovators model says about peer effects that the chances of a collective movement depends on the thresholds of different people. so if the thresholds are less and highly distributed,chances of collective movement is more. So why don't collective changes happen quickly in india...why is it that tipping does not happen fast? 1. huge population? is it a boon or a bane according to the model? 2. high thresholds? or don't we have herd mentality..i think we have low thresholds.. 3. good distribution of thresholds..aah i think the problem is here. in india we have relatively low thresholds but not very low and at the same time we have whole of the population at a level where it cannot hit tipping point...basically a 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 distribution can achieve tipping point but a 0,1,3,3,3,3,3,3 cannot even though it has a lesser threshold on average. so all india needs is the missing link to unleash the potential tipping point..te missing 2..
