Go Kiss The World

The resurgent India has given Indian professionals optimism and a tad of arrogance as well. Nothing wrong with that! While the new-found wealth is always welcome, the challenge before the professionals – young and not-so-young is to find a sense of direction, purpose and some guiding principles to lead them as they head into the chaotic, unforgiving and demanding world.

Subroto Bagchi, who now calls himself a ‘Gardener’ at IT services company, MindTree, is shaping himself as a master coach and mentor. In his second book Go Kiss the World: Life Lessons for the Young Professional l (Penguin Portfolio June 08) through personal anecdotes, he brings lessons on working and living, energizing ordinary people to lead extraordinary lives. Bagchi urges Indian professionals to recognize and develop their inner strengths, thereby helping them realize their own, unique potential.

For those who constantly worry about building careers and successful businesses, Bagchi has this to say: “Our lives are like rivers – the source seldom reveals the confluence. Does a river fret over the long journey and about its end just as it is about to spurt? It simply does not do that, caring instead to fl ow, to begin its journey, and on its way builds a beneficial relationship with anyone who comes in contact with her.”
