A great read, as usual, Prasanna. However you missed the most important event on this day: D-Day, the Allied invasion of occupied France on 6-Jun-1944.
The types of disagreement you have mentioned are so true.
One should possess intellectual honesty to express disagreement. By nature most people dislike when a subordinate disagrees. So the tendency is to be a yes man or keep silent. Therefore, at all levels of management emphasis must be to think for the organization and express opinion frankly and fearlessly.
Yet another FC.. hot and aromatic... 👌and, there is no disagreement on that😀
I agree with expressing our views to y(o)ur spouses without undermining the other ... the only ‘spice’ in our lives in these days of confinement.. and no disagreement on that, again👍
Today’s topic is so akin to your profession and you seem to have sailed through it, successfully and amicably... and no disagreement, sure that👍
Anecdotes, recalls make the ‘read’ interesting and I totally ‘agree’😇
Co-Incidentally , today happens to be my father’s birth anniversary and I now fondly recall our conversations and dialogues .. with lot of disagreements and we hardly agreed with each other.. But I would strongly ‘agree’ to the fact that the ‘insights’ he had shared during many our ‘exchange’ of conversation had definitely contributed to the success of my career🙏
Finally, ‘agree to disagree’ might bring about a solution for a while, but in the long run, one must know to communicate , as you said without undermining the other.. disagreements , if well analaysed, without bias, can certainly bring about a healthy way forward 👍
Thank you once again, for the interesting trivia 🌷... that adds to the FC topping 👌..
Milestones lead us forward to ‘cross’ many more.. ‘50’ is just the beginning and you are sure to ‘pass’ many more🥂
Many a time an argument or disagreement with a person is dropped because the relationship with that person is more important than the issue which at that particular moment may have seemed important but most times on looking back would be trivial
On your forthcoming #FC50, I can understand the nervousness.. like a batsman approaching a milestone.. But I thought you wre a Sehwag - who will go for a six while on 94 or 194 or 294 Come on, hit it out of the park.. :)
I don’t see why you need to be nervous for FC#50, (would you call this a disagreement). You have indeed crossed many a milestone to be here and before you know you will be past that number and on to conquering more ahead. You are doing fine, so just go ahead as you have done in the past. Why do you need to rely on luck when writing is in your genes? However, I must say that I still wonder on Saturday night what it is that you will cover the next morning in your weekly FC. Come Sunday and the first thing I see, even before my daily newspaper is FC. It’s become a part of my Sunday routine.
Talking of disagreements with wife, I would urge you not to get me started on it or I could go on and on……. . Jokes apart, I must say disagreement with wife is a lot different from disagreements with others. At least in this case, the disagreement may be on the means that one may take to meet the common end that most couples are striving for- the common good. Disagreement with others, on the other hand, could be for a host of other reasons from an attempt to merely spite you to of course a genuine disagreement due to difference in the point of view. It could also often depend on the agenda, hidden or otherwise, or the bias the other has. The quote attributed to Napoleon is indeed so true. Yes, we need to fear more from those who often keep silent.
Looking forward to FC50,
Hope you got FC50 today.

I did chance upon that information but in keeping with the general interest of the group I did not include it. Glad you liked FC 49.
A very interesting topic!

Wow! Excellent comments! Thank you for sharing your perspective and insights. Much appreciated.
#FC50 will be a breeze like all these editions have been! No disagreement about that.
Freshly brewed this also! Look forward to the 50th and many many many more!
Thank you Rama!! I'm encouraged.

Well said, Latha.
I normally don’t argue either I keep mum or I give judgment I’m always scared to argue
U r right KK. Better to hold off than to get into a situation from which you cannot come out.

Thank you Mani for making me believe that one can score off a Yorker too.

Oh what a fantastic review. I always look forward to your comments as they are so incisive, insightful and encouraging. Thank you Bro.
