Hindi. Sanskritised Hindustani. One of the 22 scheduled languages of India. Official language of India, along with English. Third or fourth most-spoken first or second language in the world.

Maybe, we have reached the bottom DK effect curve. We can be on the right if we push ourselves. Maybe we have slipped prematurely, accidentally into the right of the team’s work. We can move to the left, if we try a bit. Eagle’s renewal. Some dedicated hours. Relentless focus. Team of teams, and teams working in tandem. Feeding one another. Digging 7x of seven fish. Figuring out doing fish, fishing, meta-fishing together. Knowledge, skills, tools, technologies, enterprises, collectives, triggers, natural, social, human, financial, spiritual resources pooled together as simply as possible. Some ego crushing. Some humility, gratitude. Some check outs, check ins. Forming, storming, norming again. Some realignments, equations. New groupings, forums, platforms. Independent organizational forms, linked at the governance, issue level. Strengthened, new partnerships. Around ‘paradigm(s) change’ core. Campaign Missions. Mission leads, teams, architecture, matrices, brass-tacks. Simplified 123s, not more. Not complex. We can add more complexity later. Can we do this?
Michelangelo phenomenon. Partners in a relationship – all kinds – help shape each other into their best selves. Partners ‘sculpt’ each other to reveal their useful, relevant, meaningful best selves, truest versions. In terms of values, virtues, goals et al. By affirming, endorsing traits, behaviours that align with the ideal self. By encouraging and fostering trust, via shared goals and intimacy. Communication, articulation with or without words, transcending physical boundaries, is the key here. Slowly the relationship navigates towards common narratives, achievements. All this happening in the realm of synergy, more than 1+1 together. Are we listening? Can we listen, respond? Are we all not soul mates? All we beings in the Universe are connected. Our life energies are in the continuum, even if we like or not. Can we respect all life, living in sync and harmony with nature therefore? Is not this sustainability, tolerance, life rights, automatically, by default?
Can we do these? Can we in the universe do? Can the universe conspire?
Yes, we can. If we coexist, keep flowing. With hope, faith. In N? navasupathayoga for 7L.
