Dear Umesh,
You asked to Mr. Mukul Mahanta to
explain some aleegations, which he did not. However, his brother Mr. Chandan
Mahanta has come forward to explain on behalf of Mr. Mukul
Mahanta.
At one time, Mr. Chandan Mahanta wrote
to me that he did not represent his brother, Mr. Mukul Mahanta. It seems Mr.
Chandan Mahanta was misguiding me and everybody else in the
net.
There is one significant analogy. When
the late Nathuram Godse was tried for the murder of Mahatma Gandhi, he defended
himself in the trial and submitted a 150-point defense plea. In consideration of
a petition by the then Nehru Government, the Court ordered Nathurams defense
plea to be kept in a secret archive for 30 years. Serving a jail term
for 20 years, when Gopal Godse came out of the prison in 1969, he went on
giving public statements against Mahatma Gandhi, posing as a self-appointed
advocate to explain Nathurams defense plea, which could not be verified because
that document was sealed. Ultimately, when Nathurams defense plea was published
in 1979, it was found to be very different from Gopal Godses babble. I have dealt with this idiocy in my
drama The Portrait of Mahatma Gandhi. The great Maharashtrian people of
India are very worried that
the Godse brothers and their unthinking supporters will bring down the
reputation of Maharashtra.
Explaining on behalf of Mr. Mukul
Mahanta, Mr. Chandan Mahanta has made personal attacks on you about many of your recent commentary, arguments,
perceptiveness, analytical skill, critical thinking ability or even the ability
to comprehend ordinary English.
Well, Mr. Chandan Mahanta himself
displayed complete absence of perceptiveness,
analytical skill, critical thinking ability when he ran a tirade against
ATAN BURAGOHAIN SAKO with a comment that the Bridge would be ugly even
BEFORE the bridge was designed. There are exquisitely beautiful bridges all
over the world. How can he say that a bridge will be ugly BEFORE it is
designed? He is questioning your
ability to comprehend ordinary English
whereas he himself does not understand the basic difference of meaning between
the simple English words BEFORE & AFTER.
Both the Mahanta brothers are
propagating the idea that the Assamese people should take a stand against
India. Due to gross lack of analytical skill, critical thinking ability
they fail to see that
Assam is India and the
Assamese are Indian people. The Mahanta Brothers made vociferous statements in
support of the Bangladeshi Muslims who have been infiltrating into
Assam. When I asked Mr. Chandan
Mahanta to take responsibility for the consequences, it was discovered that he
did not even think of any consequences when he made those statements, thereby
displaying complete lack of his own arguments,
perceptiveness, analytical skill, critical thinking ability.
Mr. Chandan Mahanta talks about a character fault of Kavya. In the interest of the
safety of Assamese people, it is now a high time to remind Mr. Chandan Mahanta
about his own character fault when he
failed to take responsibility of the statements which were very harmful to Assam
--- in fact this was a life or death question of the entire Assamese
population who are facing a danger that the Kashmiri Pandits are going through
--- a danger much more serious than Kavyas alleged fault of copying without giving credit and the
inability to 'fess up even after getting
caught.
I appeal to the Assamese people to
scrutinize the stand of the Mahanta brothers.
With the best
wishes,
Himendra

Umesh:
If he had compared you with Kavya, that would have been a highly undeserved
praise; considering many of your recent commentary, arguments, perceptiveness,
analytical skill, critical thinking ability or even the ability to comprehend
ordinary English.
Kavya is, without a doubt, far more accomplished in all these areas. Her
fault was copying without giving credit and the inability to 'fess up even after
getting caught -- a character fault, not a deficiency of cognitive skills or
abilities.

his opinion of HARVARD has changed.

Obviously because
people such as GWB or Umesh Sharma are alumni

He did not
specify what the 'change' was, up or down. I hope I
don't have to get
painfully explicit in explaining that, and will
leave that up to
your imagination.
None of these
involved ANY comparison. He did not compare you with
Kavya or GWB, or
vice versa -- like you read. Either would have
been grossly
inappropriate. Your perception here is a result of
your inadequate
comprehension of this damned foreign language: English!

so much pain to you that you are hallucinating. How do you compare me with

on some quota --thru some devious means.
I did not know a single person at Harvard (except a
non-communicating school-mate) before I was fortunate enough to join
there.
Unlike Kaavya my parenst do not earn $500,000 annually
(more like $6,000 per annum) -and neither are they based in US. Nor have
I cheated other people's writings to write my own.
Please explain.
As for George Bush -as far as I know there is no management
quota at Harvard. I wonder how you got in to the UK univ where you did
your masters. Did you behave like Kaavya there or did you go there on some
management quota?
I'm sorry again for my paincausing remarks about rural
healthcare of Assam -and ULFAs role in it.

Dear HBS Working
Knowledge reader,
As we've
mentioned in this space for the last several weeks,
HBSWK will launch a redesigned product in early July. How will
HBSWK change as you know it?
* With a new text font and
page design, articles will be easier to read. More links to
related material will also be provided.
* Each story will
include an executive summary and takeaways.
* Readers asked for
more ways to search our archives, such as by industry or
geography. These will be available, and improved search tools will
arrive in the summer.
* You also asked for more articles by and
about the work of the HBS faculty. Faculty-based research and
ideas will be the core of the new HBSWK, and written to offer
practical insights and advice for managing yourself and your
business.
* New content will be posted on HBSWK most days of
the week, not just once a week.
* A section will be devoted to
HBS working papersoften the first place where tomorrow's
mainstream ideas become accessible to the
public.
Some things won't change:
* The
weekly newsletter will continue to be sent to subscribers as it is
today.
* HBSWK will remain free of charge.
* The content
will be chosen and written to deliver our readers practical advice
as well as cutting-edge ideas on the subject of business

Productivity?
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item.jhtml?id=5374&t=heskett&oid=5362&rid=5374&hid=-1&aid=-1
In
the cost-driven U.S. service economy, are worker benefits being
sacrificed in the name of lower-cost services to customers? Are
these social costs more than offset by the benefits of job
creation, the consumption stimulus that
spurs job creation, and lower unemployment? Others:
please respond by Tuesday, June 13 at 10:00 a.m. EST.
The Bottom Line: Masterly Management
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item.jhtml?id=5371&t=dispatch
You
don't have to complete a master's program to become a masterly
manager, says Jonathan Byrnes. But understanding the
process of obtaining a master's degree will help you think about
how to improve your skills.
