It was the battlefield of Kurukshetra, and King Arjuna had dropped his weapons out of mere confusion about how fighting against his own relatives and loved ones could get justified! Lord Krishna came to his rescue and preached him about ‘Karma’, meaning duty mostly confused with work in the modern scenario, and thus the Holy book Bhagwadgeeta came into existence. But I am sure Lord Krishna was completely unaware of the fact that his golden words ‘Karmane Vaadhikarastye Ma Phaleshu Kadachana’ will be applied to Corporate Culture in the 21st Century!

Do your duty, and don’t expect the result…seems to be the mantra of most bosses and the HR today. They tend to load the employees with unplanned work and are proud enough to give them the most unacceptable deadlines. And when it comes to asking for a promotion or a pay hike..they are ready with what Lord Krishna had to say ‘Karmane……..

Spending more time at office is mostly misunderstood with hard work. In my experience I have witnessed only 3 kinds of people who work late hours or on holidays…

1) People who hate to go home, as their domestic life sucks
2) People who are unmarried, and have nothing to do at home
3) And people who have a love fling in the office itself.

Always remember you are employed, and you are paid only for 8 hours of your daily time, and anything above that has to be considered a crime!

And what Lord Krishna exactly meant about Karma is duty and the role you take up on a single day. You should do your duty as a son/daughter, you should do your duty as a nice husband, you should do your duty as a nice parent, you should do your duty as a good citizen, and you should do your duty as a good worshipper without expecting any returns!

Just being a good Manager at work and compromising on other roles you have to play on a single day surely makes you an unworthy soul or I should say an ass****!
