Stop Bawling…

Sandeep exhorts those concerned with the farmers-suicide issue, to stop continually mourning the deaths and reciting sob-stories, and suggest focus on some solutions instead:

On the Vidharbha issue, talking about the problem seems to have become the biggest obstacle–crying over the spilt milk seems to occupy time, effort and column inches/web space rather than running to the milkman to buy fresh milk.

It isn’t as if no solutions have been suggested; in fact, a lot of sensible people have suggested pragmatic solutions but that of course escapes the attention of the critics who insist that we perpetually mourn about the dead farmers and worse, prepare to mourn for those who might follow–I’m really heartless but since you’ve read this far, do indulge me.

No generalisations apply.

Making a fuss about the dead is one way to get other people to help out. But by making a fuss, if you aren’t attracting enough people to do more than the work you would be doing if you weren’t fussing, then the ROI is not justified.

The point is whether ‘the critics’ who mourn would be more useful as helpers (physical helpers or otherwise).

Both marketing and production are essential to any organisations success.
