Comment: God made the human being[For the agnostics,let me re-phrase that as 'Man is..' ] bi-focal in nature. We have to see the future from both the aspects: leadership needs and team/public needs. A team without a strategist/captain will achieve less than the sum total of the abilities of the players. Same thing in all spheres of activity.We need both ,the IITs and the ITIs; the IISc scholars and the B.Sc.graduates;the Horticulturists and the malis;the Structural engineers and the masons. But we need just one captain in the final eleven. There is a problem when there are too many leaders and no followers! > engineering needs talented people for critical ideas. > It also needs many more people who work in a team to > execute the goals, these people need not be as > brilliant. hard work and team work are key. Comment: "There is no substitute for Hardwork" said Indira Gandhi,the Iron Lady of India. Even Pele alone was no match for a team of eleven players who knew their roles.

Hence we had emigration to Bombay,East Africa and the Gulf countries. It continues to a lesser degree now.There is always a scope for improvement.
