As i garner some time today to put my thoughts across I wonder how I am to go about it as a lot of thoughts have cropped up in a very short period of time but I am going to pen down some thoughts on a new “ism” called Stupism. In fact I have stumbled upon this ism in the long conversations with a very special character called Anustup Naik and that leads to discuss something more about the origins of this “ism” that is going to be the next ism to reckon with, forget Socialism communism ....and all other isms "Stupism" is the next juggernaut "ism" to survive in this ruthless world.
In one of our casual conversations Stupie came up with this funda called Ande Ka Funda He says that as a client is like a "Murgi"(hen) and we need to identify several murgis at a time and mate with them and in the due course of time the several murgis with whom we have mate probably one of them will lay the egg.
What this means is that a sharp enterpreneur would not depend on one source to derive his business from, he would at least try to find out alternative sources from where his business would come and for this he needs to meet several clients at a given period of time and than zero down to a few clients from where the mullah is going to come.
“Stupism” is all about spontaneity and a sense of urgency to get the task completed on time, get ready to face the wrath if you do not have your figures correct, one fine day you are given a Mckinsey report and you are expected to read the same and come up with your thoughts and write synopsis as to what have you understood from the report, create a model/framework with lot of thoughts imbedded from your side ...phew makes me remember my good olden days at my B-school where I am given a case study and expected to go through the volumes to survive in a group of intelligent Homo-sapiens who further go on to sell soaps and tractors in the remotest part of the country. Thankfully Stupism always makes me feel that i have taken the road less travelled.
Stupism is all about thinking of out of the box and out of the world sitting around you the new age mentor (Stupie) would suddenly spring up a thought - the other day he came up with the theory that how at work as people we talk about all the good things in the world before coming to the point and he brought his point through a short skit called "what do you do Mr Iyer" A satire directed towards people who at work places talk about the all the crap in the world before coming to the point. A fearless critic who plays a devils advocate and would come upon you ruthlessly if you are caught on a wrong foot.
Last but not the least Stupism is opening your minds and ponder upon the dimensions of thinking solution for a problem by understanding the core root of the problem before carrying out the analysis which often leads towards paralysis of the problem. Let me illustrate the case the other day Stupie introduced to me a theory called "Core instructional Framework", A framework that helps the child to learn and understand better and he says that there are three core dimensions to it and they are Teaching, Curriculum and Assesments. Each of the dimension has a subdimension which actually strengthens the core dimension eventually leading to improve child learning. A simple framework for which one has to go through the epitomes of literature before making such a powerful statement. Thanks to the new age mentor the most complex of the theories are injected in the mind without any pain and makes a last impact for the times to come.
