Beyond the Skies I Poem By Sankalpa
Beyond the Skies
Walking with the dawn, running with the sky,
Learning to live, learning to fly.
Places to see, people to meet,
Experiencing the life beyond your dreams.
Wandering in places you’ve never seen,
Being the happiest you’ve ever been.
It’s a great place for us to see,
Especially for people like you and me!
Changing seasons, changing places,
Finding our way through giant mazes.
Flying above giant seas,
Chasing horizons wild and free!

The Ramayana Guide To Practical Leadership | Ancient Case Studies, Modern Management Lessons
The Ramayana Guide to Practical Leadership approaches leadership through the original Valmiki Ramayana, reading it as a precise study of human decision making, responsibility, and conduct under pressure. Rather than treating the epic as a story or a source of moral instruction, the book examines specific situations as leadership case studies. Each chapter focuses on how leaders assess complexity, communicate intent, handle dissent, build trust, and act when outcomes are uncertain. The emphasis remains on behaviour, judgement, and accountability. Drawing on forty carefully selected episodes, structured as case studies, the book brings forward leadership lessons on communication, psychological safety, servant leadership, resilience, ethics, and strategic clarity. Sanskrit shlokas are presented with translation and context, allowing readers to engage with the original text without requiring prior familiarity. Written by a senior industry leader with decades of experience leading large, complex organisations, the book bridges Indian knowledge systems and modern leadership practice. It is designed for professionals, managers, students, and educators who want leadership insight that is grounded, applicable, and enduring. This is a guide for readers who want to think clearly, decide responsibly, and lead with purpose in real-world situations.
