Mango Oh Mango

I may be one among you…aspire for eatables when they are not there in the home or fruits when in off season…when mom make Dosa…I prefer Idly….Rasam over Sambar….or Sambar over Rasam…whenever they are not there to have .. Many of the time my mom finds it difficult as the population of my civil family is around a two digit number….still we demand our mother and she make it sometime as she loves us a lot….

But with nature we cannot demand so……even though nature is a beautiful mother…she knows to provide things according to her seasons…not according to our reasons! Summer in winter and ….spring when it is autumn….is greed than what?

Two months back it was the season for mangos….mangos everywhere….. Tempting yellow and dark green with shades of redness….where ever you go the mango follows!!!…..

But my mango desire came only after two months of the season…and is of no surprise….as I was walking into a fruit stall to get some mangos …the prize of which came to my surprise….took me to my childhood memories….in our village…we never have the habit of buying mangos…because it is plenty around if it is not in our garden, may be the garden next to …you are free to take with permission….but

Who will ask permission in the age of late childhood and early adolescent….we just throw stones….if we throw 10 stone one mango may turn down by the time the owner of the garden too….we just run and escape….but slowly through experience we expertise the art of Mango-ing….we know the right stone ….right distance ..The right speed and the right target…when we reach late adolescence 8 out of 10 stones will turn with mangos….

I hope this paradox will fit into our modern day corporate and business…when in the early growing stage of the business we may be happy for the one mango out of 10 stones forgetting about the 9 stones of wasted resource time and energy…as long as the mango is there we may be happy….but as the business grows …we may (should) know the right stone and a right person to throw to the right distance and target…now not only mango alone.. but how many mango out of how many stone and out of how many attempts…not only the mango but how(ethics) and through whom …..In nut cell ….

Quality of a business is simply to me is quality persons in a quality process and with quality resource hitting quality product or service with some ethics ….am I making some sense through this Mango-ing….(you are welcome with your comments and opinion)
