Luckily being the first in a long queue at the station, I buy a ticket. I have to take two stairways to reach the platform. I take the first step and I assume I hear the sound of the train. So I start running, taking two steps at a time. At the eleventh step, I realize that my assumption is wrong but then people behind me seeing me run have started running too. I think, so what let me run the next few steps as well. As I run, I hear more footsteps. So I run all the way to the train-less platform just for the heck of it. And there, a bunch of people have run with me too. And I turn back to see their faces. Expressions? Priceless.
Moral: Some would have followed me; some would have followed the ones in front of them. So my take on this would be to stop to think whom you are following or who you look up to be your leader. Most of all, stop to see "why" you are following. Who knows, he/she might be taking you for a ride.
Leadership eh? Quite! ;-)

Good compilation :) Reminds me of the time when me and a friend are busy staring at a welder perched high up a building and plying his trade. The sparks attracted our attention and thus, our faces showed such emotion at that busy intersection that lo, a while later when we look away...everyone else in that corner, a good number of people, were also looking up too. People were pointing..and the chain was growing. We had a laugh...and moved on. True, our primitive pack mentality always makes us aware that no matter how much we cry about independence and the expression of our souls...in the end, we are all part of a herd and shall act as such.
Cheers..Keep the good work going.
Pradeep, an interesting narrative that you have shared! And it's so true "we are all part of a herd and shall act as such."
