Strategies for Learning from Failure

We are programmed at an early age to think that failure is bad.That belief prevents organisations from effectively learning from their missteps..
A Spectrum of Reasons for Failure

Lack of Ability: An individual doesn't have the skills, conditions,or training to execute a job.
Process Inadequacy : A  competent individual adheres to a prescribed but faulty or incomplete process.
Task Challenge: An individual faces a task too difficult a be executed reliably every time.
Process Complexity : A process composed of many elements breaks down when it encounters novel interactions.
Uncertainty : A lack of clarity about future events causes people to take seemingly reasonable actions that produce undesired results.

Exploratory Testing : An experiment conducted to expand knowledge and investigate a possibility leads to an undesired result.

Kalidasa in Modern Sanskrit Literature

All Sanskrit lovers were attracted and paid the maximum  attention to Kavikulguru Kalidasa.He is the most popular figure in Sanskrit literature.Kalidasa has been a perennial source of inspiration to Indian poets and thinkers.
        Kalidasa acquires learning by the grace of Kali.In the present play he is shown to acquire learning not only by the grace of the goddess Kali but also through his single-mindedness.

Aesthetics of Sriramakirtimahakavyam(Thai RAMAYANA)

SKM ,a Sanskrit mahakavya on the Thai Ramakien(the Rama story in Thailand).Beauty is not indispensable in the mass art of of the post-modern period.But the fact of its existence outside and inside literature is not neglected.Beauty has to be that which makes people and beholders flummoxed whether in feminine or in masculine context..Prof.Shastri's concept of beauty has a connection with wonder.Child Sita , rescued from the pitcher dug out of the earth,was eclipsing the lotuses with the splendour of her cheeks.Her large eyes were adorned with long eye-lashes,she was as effulgent as gold and as fair as the rays of the moon.Her beauty made people astounded.
                 Similarly, greed overpowered Sita after seeing the beauty of golden deer sent by Ravana.
   Love is the creative effect of Love god Cupid.It has its impact even on the most controlled personlity like Hanuman.It spreads its softly bending filaments when eligible man and woman look at each other.This is the first stage of relationship between two loving hearts.
         In love at first sight ,losing control of mind is the automatic effect.Man is a symbol of the tree of valour.And his loving beloved like a creeper has the instant desire to rest upon that tree as she is bereft of her composure with loss of mental strength and is overwhelmed in his close proximity.The golden mermaid gets instantly love-lorn at the sight of Hanuman.
This blog is dedicated to the multidimensional genius of Prof.Satya Vrat Shastri...Jnanpitha Awardee(2009),a leading Sanskrit poet of our time.
