Now a days growth is the mantra every where. You should grow as a human being, as an empathetic person, as this, as that etc. Grow in your knowledge, in your perception, in your social skills (only for me :| ).
But do we grow? Can we? Only growth some of us are seeing in ourselves is that of girth. Sad but true!
On an unrelated topic, have you heard of raising the bar in corporate offices. One smart kid enters the office. The work you have been struggling for a month, he will finish over night. And suddenly the bosses are all lauding him and telling us mortals that he has set the bar higher. You resent this blue eyed kid resenting the fact that you resent him for outshining you.
But not for our leaders. There kid or elderly men and women do not bother to raise the bar. They do the opposite. They lower the bar. Fist fighting to pepper spray to stripping to knives. So may be other leaders do not resent them.
Poor Arnab. He will shout and shout and tire his throat.
