AnalysisAnalysis

Vatcha dwells, perceptively, on self-development andinternal assets which do not appear on balance-sheets ofcorporates. Perhaps, Raghav and Athanu have notinvested enough here, hence, they are vulnerable to be

taken over.. The case has no easy or final answers. It is symptomatic

of what we see around us, reflected in disillusion, lack ofpurpose and self-respect. Sadly, this finds outlets in

disrespect to others as a means of concealing our owninadequacy. We cannot move to grounds which root us,but prefer platforms of acclaim for a temporary fix. Ourhorizons shrink, we shrink.

y The case is not only about morals or personalvalues. It encompasses the realities of earning aliving, social aspirations, providing for the family

and education. Expenses mount as we want toprovide our dear ones inputs and standardsappropriate to their future.A small-town lad from a Regional EngineeringCollege, makes it to the dazzle. Not to be scoffedat. Sadly, he sees himself as a failure because hecould not sustain the dazzle. He ignores hissuccesses. Cant build on them.

y Vatcha has also lived a life measuring himself while hehas travelled his lifes journey. But in his story, thingsrepeat themselves. He knows that what goes aroundcomes around. He does not have to chase. He just has tomove on; if he misses one opportunity another wouldcome. It may not be the same. His life may take adifferent direction. He is comfortable because he sees allmovement as purpose. Likes of Raghav and Athanu

panics when they loses something as they did. Vatcha,however, knows that even if he loses, it is does not affectwho he is. Vatcha seems to have banked his experiences asthe belief in his purpose.

Possible SolutionsPossible Solutions

y To build emotional aspects of courage,

confidence, patience, desire to learn instead of

monetary assets. They should focus on the inner

development , to be more objective in theirdecision making and while dealing with the

factors .

y Parvez could have mentored them with all theexperience he carry with him .

ContinuedContinued

y Both Athanu & Raghav still have good 10 years

of working life left , so it is better to start with

fresh zeal ,although it is difficult but not

impossible . With all their past experience theycan be more effective and objective , and for this

Mr. pervez can play a very important role .

ySpecifically Athanu need to be a little flexibleand should try to come out of his idealistic

world concept , and should be more emparical .

y Raghav should try to stick to one organization

where he can be able to balance between his

desires and emotions , and also focus on

controlling his need for power which he finds asdriving force which has made him work they he

had worked till now.

ConclusionConclusion

Eras come and go. Each time has its ownhurdles and challenges which are difficultbut not impossible.

Each one reevaluates, diagnose and searchwithin themselves.

Our mission will be accomplished by living

according to values that speak to theeconomic, social, and environmentalresponsibilities of business and society.
