In the Srimad Bhagavatam, about 24 avatars of Lord Krishna are mentioned. These are the lila avatars of the Lord. Out of these, ten avatars of the Lord have become popular, I would say. These are popularly known as Dasavatar. After describing these avatars in brief, the Bhagavatam goes on to say that, the avatariis Lord Krishna, the son of Vasudeva. All the avatars emanate from Lord Krishna, the original Person. With this in mind, in our current book, you will not find Lord Krishna as one of the avatars.

Managing a team or an entire organization is a tough job. To be good at management, one needs to fulfill several requisites. This book talks about some of the important management requisites like motivational skills, sense of judgement, patience, advance planning, scheduling etc., knowing and practicing which, everyone of us can become a good manager. With the past experience of authoring three good-selling books, the author has put down his thoughts and brought together the pieces of the jigsaw namely - management requisite, Lord Krishna’s exemplification, humour and Bhagavad Gita quotation. Doing this for 81 management requisites was a great task in itself. This piece of work was then edited, enhanced and polished by our team, before it could make it to the hands of thousands of young as well as experienced managers and brighten their everyday lives.

This book is therefore made for students and its aim is to support the learning of Mathematics, both in the classroom and outside the classroom, always relying on humour and good mood. In all the tasks assigned in this book, we present a comic strip or a cartoon and we ask students to reflect on a set of questions about the strip or the cartoon. These questions were developed to stimulate students’ mathematical thinking and, hopefully, make them feel good. This book was produced as part of the HUMAT: Humour in Mathematics Teaching Project.

Projects succeed-projects fail. This is because there is no definite formula for success in any project. When attempting to do something, be it a small task, an assignment or innovation, a set procedure has to be followed. In a project, the number of factors involved are far too many, and it is always a complex situation. If due care is not given to the project, it fails. The definition of failure varies with perspective. However, three factors stand out: cost overrun, time overrun and the original intentions of the project being lost en route. With finality, we can say that these factors fit in snugly in IT projects. It is particularly apt in a project, if the client who originally mooted the proposal says, “This is not what I wanted”. This is the tune sung by many IT clients and almost always, they are justified. Project failure is a multi-headed dragon which may take any shape it wants. It can be a spaceship for Mars crashing into the ocean, or the Titanic, ramming onto an iceberg; an airport ending up as big as a city, or a road project hitting a huge roadblock. It can be a cathedral, half-finished, or a hydro-electric project ending up with lakhs of displaced families. With big projects, the chances of failure are higher. There are projects with outlays of even billions of dollars. Thus, failure of space missions is understandable. Strangely, construction of a simple park also has failed sometimes.
