Sharu Ragnekar’s Gyan
June 9, 2014 Leave a comment
Sharu Rangnekar always tells his male management students to learn “How to Handle the Boss” from their wives.
When a man gets married, he is the Boss but within three months, he realizes that he is not the Boss. This is because his wife has managed to handle three things :
1) His insecurity
2) His ego
3) His idiosyncrasies
Here is Rangnekar’s illustration of how a wife goes about doing this:
1) Once while meeting an American friend over lunch, Rangnekar found him looking distracted and over-anxious to get back to his job. Rangnekar asked his friend what was so important about the job that he couldn’t’ slack off for half an hour! The man replied, “See if I botch up this assignment , I’ll get fired and if I lose my job, I’ll lose my wife.”
“How can that be?”argued Rangnekar , “In India my wife will never leave me even if I want her to!”
“How can you be so sure?” bantered the friend.
“Simple,” replied Rangnekar .”This is a cultural thing. You see, every year my wife keeps a fast like hundreds of other Indian women to ensure that she will have the same husband for seven lifetimes. Now whether we will be together for seven lifetimes is debatable, but the fact that she doesn’t want to lose me in this lifetime makes me secure in the knowledge that she will never leave me!” Read more of this post
Want. But Only That Much.

This is the finest advice on negotiation that I have received ever.Want,but only that much.Know what you will give up to get what you want and then hold the line.Period.You don’t have to do every deal,irrespective of the terms and don’t allow others to use your need to get you to give up something of value before you get something you value equally,else this will be your story:
Soldier, soldier, will you marry me,
With your musket, fife and drum?
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you,
When I have no hat to put on?
Off to the haberdasher she did go,
As fast as she could run,
Bought him a hat, the best that was there,
And the soldier put it on.
Soldier, soldier, will you marry me,
With your musket, fife and drum?
Oh, how can I marry such a pretty girl as you,
When I have no coat to put on?
Off to the tailor she did go,
As fast as she could run,
Bought him a coat, the best that was there,
And the soldier put it on. Read more of this post

Friends come into our lives in the strangest of ways :Sometimes we find them at a bus stop,Sometimes at a bar,We find them in school,Or at work,The Gym.The doctor’s waiting room,Sometimes through other friends.Friends are people whom we likeWhom we feel comfortable withShare happy times and sadWho laugh with us and cry with usPeople for whom we’d gladly die.But how do we come upon our families?How do they come into our lives?Do we choose them at a cosmic plane?Or do we get them by a karmic lottery?Would we choose the same mother?
The same father?
Would we choose the same child?-Sunita
Marrying Trouble

Here’s another wonderful story penned by Sunita. Ladies should you ever feel tempted to encourage a player,read this story.Ponder.Then desist.The Masters of Love may seem irresistible at the moment but a few days of giving into the madness will buy you a lifetime of troubles:
It seems this wonderful lady whom we all admire for being so accomplished, smart, intelligent, well qualified , good looking ( she studied overseas during her university days)and coming from a well established old Mumbai family fell in love with a much married and divorced man. Much against her mother’s wishes she married him and told her mother that she was living her own life. Over the years they had their own two children in addition to his earlier kids and supposedly they lived happily ever after.But it seems this man is a born “lover” who periodically falls in love with another woman apart from his wife. It is not looks which get to him but the woman’s personality – the ability to make him laugh and exchange views with her. Fifteen years ago the wife found out that he was terribly attracted to this charming middle aged divorcee who gamely indulged in some mild flirtation. The husband’s ardour was aroused and he would have gone on to have another full fledged affair but the wife went to the new love and told her “You’ve already suffered the consequences of having your house wrecked by another woman, why are you doing this to me?” The middle aged woman backed off and the woman’s marriage was saved.
