Cities or Overcrowded Villages?
WALK THROUGH any of our metros and you are struck not by their promise of being \"world-class\" but by how quickly they have descended into the feel of overcrowded villages. Not the idyllic sort of villages that evoke pastoral nostalgia, but villages transported into concrete, stripped of charm, and dressed up in glass towers and neon lights.

THE CULT OF LEAN: WHEN CORPORATE EFFICIENCY COMES AT A HUMAN PRICE
THE CORPORATE WORLD, ever eager to please shareholders, has found a new performance metric to celebrate: the shrinking headcount. Boardrooms echo with terms like \"efficiency gains,\" \"streamlined operations,\" and \"AI-driven productivity.\" Once a reluctant last resort, job cuts are now framed as strategic foresight. Companies, from Silicon Valley giants to Indian IT behemoths, proudly announce workforce reductions, and the stock market, with Pavlovian predictability, often responds with a gratifying surge.

Rewarding Rules-Respecters
IN THE COMPETITIVE, get-ahead-somehow world of today, those who respect rules often end up as losers. This is best exemplified on our roads: the car that pushes ahead by any means, with scant respect for the rules, inevitably forges ahead while the obedient and law-abiding get left behind. Overtaking from the left, cutting in and out of lanes, not giving way to traffic from the right: all this is par for the course.
