Big and small !



One big and another small jack fruit remain closely in touch in the upper part, adjusting their surfaces to each other in a mutually adapting form. Both jack fruits acquired unusual appearance because of this, different from the usual shape and form. The outer contour in the upper part reveals that it was contributed by both the jack fruits.Each jack fruit impacted each other.

In the recent months, there were some instances in the Indian society, which defined the heterogeneity of our society in a way that it disturbed the harmony that existed between different groups in our society. 

A society is a community of different sub groups of people who relate, adjust and accommodate each other. 

This cohesion in the community is achieved by an approach of 'give and take'!

If we let others benefit from us, they too would be generous towards us. 

This was the philosophy of relationship between the management and employees in Tata companies. I remember late, Mr J.R.D.Tata, the doyen of Indian industry, taking the initiative to found the Tata Trust to support social service, a hospital for its employees in Jamshedpur, a retirement benefit for its employees in the nineteen fifties, when all of it were new in India. In fact, it used to be told of Tata companies and Malayala Manorama establishments that these two large organisations would not  have industrial strike or slow down, because the management is often generous towards their employees. These two large establishments continue even now the practice of adapting to the needs of their work force. There are other organisations who have a similar adaptability in their ethos. I know that the Christian Medical College, Vellore is one such organisation. 

This is mutuality and togetherness for a cause!
