Respected sirs,
LOVE SOUGHT IS GOOD BUT GIVEN UNSOUGHT IS BETTER. I am partially disinclined with the views of our respected fried Shri Paranjpe and am in agreement with Shri Ramakrishna . We cannot almost always be under the impression that whatever is extended free is not valued much. Our mindset is changing gradually. Why I was stating that "I am partially disinclined" is because, in our GURUKUL system in ancient times, the RISHIS AND MUNIS used to impart Education and Values to the disciples free of cost without expecting any remuneration, but the Disciples or Sishyas are expected to render "Sushrusha" to the Guru and and his Patni (Wife) by way of fetching Fire wood from the Forest, bringing vegetables and forest produce, herding and milking the cows etc., etc. That means, the Education that they were getting was not for free. Dr.Jagan Mohan Reddy's views are highly appreciable in this context.
Coming to the crux of the issue, values are getting valued of late and the taught can be taught without expectations and the Joy of Giving is always spontaneous.

Dear All,
While appreciating the topic of discussion "love vs. like", I disagree with the statement of Mr. K. Paranjpe..."There is no value if we do or give anything for
free."
I don't know how many of you agree with me. But, the students are not taught that there is no value if we do or give anything for free in any management education, including world famous B-Schools. If someone is teaching management in that manner, then I sympathise with those students. In fact, when you teach about great management gurus or great corporate leaders, 'selflessness' as a trait of them comes first. B-School managements, their faculty and students are expected to contribute to society. If we look at the latest NBA Self Assessment Report, there are more number of points for the contribution of B-School to society.
We at our B-School have a unique programme called "Each One Teach One". Through this programme our students teach English and Computer Skills to the children of a Government School in Hyderabad on every Saturday and if we look at the enthusiasm our students to teach those students, its just unbelievable. The students of the Govt. school use our Softskills Lab and Computer Lab for a whole day on every Saturday. We also have another programme by name "Joy of Giving" in which our students contribute several items, right from new clothes to stationary items to electronic items to the underprivileged and downtrodden children in many government schools.
Therefore, I think, it depends on how do we want to teach management to students. Its not necessary that one has to attach price to everything. There is a huge chunk of youth which is selfless. There are schools, management colleges and Sri Sri University run by Art of Living foundation promoted by Shri Shri Ravi Shankarji's Art of Living foundation. Students of those institutions contributed to the maximum possible in the last year's natural calamity of Char Dham.
So, there is no correlation between Love and Like and management students. Of course, the techniques and strategies of business management are taught to students in B-School. But, almost all of those strategies are designed and developed for the welfare of all stakeholders of business.

Dear Sir, Very well said. Today we have made all our relationship based on the
concept of "like" rather than "love". Look at some of the statements that we teach
assiduously in B-schools. For eg, "There is no value if we do or give anything for
free."I believe, this is a typical statement in the 'Like" category but the damage
it does is enormous. We follow a policy of instantly distrusting people who do
something without expecting ( we believe there may be some hidden scheme behind
it) Our immediate response is to pay back for any help. In likewise, we don't help
anybody without expecting something in return. We expect gratitude at the very
least and get disappointed when we don't get it and immediately label such a
person as an ungrateful person and worse.
Socrates himself gave free advice to people and landed into trouble with those who
thought this activity as being a useless and corrupting of the youth. He paid with
his life for it.
It would seem that but for the fortunate few who love and are loved, the rest of
us are condemned to live with the corrosive 'Like' type relationships.
Best Regards
K.Paranjpe

"Sir What's the difference between "like" and "love"?
Socrate's answer was a masterpiece:
"When u like a flower, you just pluck it.
But when u love a flower, you water it daily..!
One who understand this ,
understands life.In the light of above, I request the hon'ble members to share
their views onInvesting in employees rather than always asking for more and more.
Wish you all a fabulous weekend with your family and friends. . . Good day as
well.Best wishesDrA Jagan Mohan Reddy
