Heavy rains in North India. Deaths. Occasional drizzles in South India. Weather Man says it is not an El Nino effect. But the El Nino effect is still looming large.
Uniform Civil Code agenda comes to the front.
Will a RYSS-AMUL tie-up on Natural Farming Food Produce/Products possible? Will it benefit the producers and consumers? More tie-ups vs local linkages, mixed way? Direct producer-consumer linkages, local enterprises, local brands, and local value-chains?
National Mission on Natural Farming with Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare is inching forward.
Cabinet may clear it this week. A Project Management Unit is also being positioned. Natural Farming Transformation may require something in the range of Rs. Four Lakh Crore (4000 Billion) over the next 10-15 years. The budget proposed now is not even 0.01% of that. A trickle up to begin with.
How do we see the NF value-chains emerging? Self to Group to Village to Local, mostly, and 10% items may go the way of long value-chains. Multiple commodities, processed/value-added locally. Increased fair share of the consumer rupee for the farmer/farmer entrepreneur. Add: eco-system and sustainability credits accrual to farmers.
How do we live, live better, and live happier? We need a home, and we need to be home early. We need skills for excellent levels of performance. Gossip does not help. We are not competing with our seniors, colleagues/associates and juniors. We need to save, and invest the savings. We need some ‘small’ entrepreneurial activities to keep going. We need to borrow only for investments. We need to be loyal and aligned to the work. We need to invest in relationships. We need to transition to the fourth transition early. Earlier the better. @50 is not a bad idea. Portfolio in the fourth transition could be the best. A viable meaningful useful portfolio.
Hidden Persuaders? Dark Patterns? ‘Value-add’ deceptive practices? To buy, give or vote. Making us feel guilty otherwise. Fake scarcity. Fake urgency. Hidden Costs. Auto renewals. Pre-selection. Misleading. Difficult to cancel, et al. Can a regulation help? How? How is ambiguity handled? How to differentiate product positioning vs mal-intent to overcharge, abuse or defraud?
What do we seek, success or happiness? Can we see happiness as success? Can we help in happiness, team happiness, and team success? Can we nurture this? Can we celebrate? Can we acknowledge and appreciate the effort, team effort? The journey? The spirit?
Can we wait till the other completes the say/response? Can we offer opportunities, rather than constraints? Can we keep eye-contact while communicating? Can we remember and use the name to connect/interact? Can we start with zero expectations? Can we find ways and remain calm? Can we teach what we want to learn? Can we smile, keep smiling? Can we stand-up/sit-up straight? Can we tell why apart from what, when, where, who and how?
Can we articulate and commit our inner goals? Immediate, short-term and long-term? Can we prioritize ? Can we have an action plan for the prioritized? Timelines? Can we commit time, energy, effort and resources for the same? Can we learn the art of mixing with care – the intellect with the emotions, business transactions with relationships? Can we make this work for us? Can we have the working of multiple enterprises with our inner networks of people and entities?
Yes, we can. If we coexist, connecting deeply. The flow of N. For 7L.
