On changing the world ...

Had a long discussion with a friend, last night, about how things are getting done in our present company, and our last few companies. And he is totally resigned if anything good is going to happen in near future.
He is of the opinion that one should be a ruler/dictator to be able to implement the ideas. Or else there is no point in raising your opinion.

Normally I see people at workplace and around, complaining about the way things are moving and are being done. I have heard lot of people saying that nothing can happen to my present work conditions, nobody listens in the system. And the most frequent "Is desh ka kuch nahin ho sakta !!", translated "nothing can happen in this country, It will remain they way it is!!". Either learn to live with it or leave.
And eventually we do resign from our situations, some after few fights, that they keep on referring to for rest of the eternity.

You cannot just go out there and start blabbering your brilliant ideas. I understand they must be good and revolutionary. And if implemented will create miraculous results, for everyone.
But dont be surprised if no body is listening.

I am a fan of Lata Mageshkar and I love listening to Kishore Kumar's songs. But when they started working in the industry they didn't started singing what they are famous for. Kishore didnt sang "Ina meena Dika" as his first song, initially Lata sang in nasal voice similar to Suraiya and Shamshad begam, what was popular and in-demand of the time.
Imagine Kishore kumar singing "Udlai dudlai doo" next to legendry K. L. Sehgal s "Jab dil hi tuut gaya. . ." on Cibaca sangeet mala. Majority of people, at that time, may have out rightly rejected it. And the new art of singing song must have lost in time.
They accepted the challenge, learned and mastered the way things were being done. And then Kishore showed that songs are just not about melody, lyrics or pain. He showed that you can have another emotion/ras "FUN" while singing and listening to songs. I think he was one who did most of the experiments with his voice, style and sang for most number of film actors. Lata showed magic of her voice, that the country is still spelled with, for last more than 40 years.

In my opinion, instead of resisting the present conditions, that you are facing, accept them the way they are. I am not asking to agree with them and definitely do not let them be the way they are. Just accept them that "this is it", for the time being.
Now start working on your ideas, you will find right ways and right people to put forward your suggestions and work-on with. And more importantly, do have fun and enjoy the process.

Caution: Do Not get too comfortable with the system s way or you may become "One of them".
