A NATION OF ANALYSTS

We indians are very fond of analysing issues by sitting at the periphery.I sometime wonder if at all we have become a nation of by-standers who don't like to get into the thick of the actions,but would rather sit at the border & keep analysing about the people who are in the thick of the action & their performance.

The above observation was corroborated recently when India made an early exit out of the cricket world cup.It was no doubt an ignominious exit considering the fact that we have one of the best teams in the world.But what happened after that was more shocking.Only after a few days which were marked with deep anger,frustration,desperation, our people started analysing the other teams' players & their records.No one from Indian team was taken into task for such a dismal performance.No heads rolled.

Same is the case with football,We have so many people who knows more about MANU or CHELSEA clubs' players' performance than the player themselves might be knowing.what about our Indian team???? No one knows.

Ask any Indian to analyse a situation & give his or her fedback he or she will be more than willing to do that.But ask the same person to get into the action place, he or she will refuse or show some kind of hesitation for action .Why?? Because the practice of analysing rather than acting is already so deep in our psyche that some time we feel that action is not our cup of tea,only analysis is.

Though the above phenomena is very bad considering the fact that we have not been able to produce a world class sports person(Though Sachin Tendlukar can be looked upon as one,he is confined to the cricketing nations only which are very few in number),but we can use this national trait to our advantage.When the world is moving towards a global village where there is no bounadry & when we are clearly moving towards a service oriented business model where consultancy comes at the top,let us be a nation of consultants.Let us be a nation where only consulatancy firms prosper.Let us not loose the tempo.Let other people sweat it out in the middle of the ground.We will simply sit in the AC rooms with all our tools to analyse how bad or well they are performing.Then give the feedback.Who knows there may be a time in future when we will have a olympics in Consultancy & we will be in the top for some time.Till that time let us not loose hope.Let us build on our strengths.
