The greatest gift a leader can gift himself or herself, is to gift oneself a team who have the freedom to disagree with the leader.
“Sir, I don’t agree with your views!” is a statement one should welcome in a meeting, whether it’s government, corporate or religious. Because that disagreement is founded on a thought that has already been expressed, which means that the thought has moved forward, and whatever comes out of that debate which follows, will be a deeper, wider and broader viewpoint.
If there are ten people at the meeting, it is the collective intelligence of ten, instead of just one.
History books will tell you without hesitation that such combined thinking has always moved the world forward.
Rulers of yore who had their cabinet filled with ‘yes men’ soon found themselves on the streets.
One mistake we make is to mistake a strong man as one who takes no advice but his own. On the contrary that is a weak person. His insecurity makes him feel that any contradiction to his views is a personal affront.
No, it isn’t, and the day, he or she is willing to just listen and agree or disagree later. Is able to use debate to try and convince opponents, then that man or woman is on his or her way towards being a strong leader.
A strong leader will allow people the freedom to disagree.
A weak leader clamps down on those who do so.
To find out how the greatest nation in the world, reached that pinnacle, one has only got to open one’s books of history and see arguments that fashioned great thought.
To understand this even further, one has to accept that each of us is blessed by our creator with different gifts that mould our belief systems. A businessman who has come up by his britches, may feel that hard work is the only way to success and looks down on handouts and freebies, whereas someone who was helped with a scholarship or financial grant, will most probably have a compassionate heart to help the less fortunate as he was helped.
These two minds will collectively shape an idea that can better society. And if it’s ten minds, more ideas and a better design. All this comes through argument, debate and convincing.
But when a company or country starts curbing the freedom to disagree, then comes a quick and steady decline of that body.
“Sir, I don’t agree with your views!”
“Come to Delhi, sit with me, and let us listen to one another!”
That is the only way forward. Any other route spells disaster..!

By Maneesha Nath
Make-up is not a tool meant to Make an ugly thing look beautiful. It’s also meant to magnify the beauty that already exist.
Beauty is not about photoshop, face apps and filters. It’s about the right skin treatment and correct makeup techniques.
Someone had asked me once, ‘Everyone talks about beauty and beautiful girls but what about those who are ugly?’ and my answer was … Always remember no one is ugly. Everyone has their own beauty.
I was also asked: ‘I wish I had known that I already had everything I needed within myself to be happy, instead of looking for happiness at the beauty counters. And my answer was, ‘I want everyone to believe that you are BEAUTIFUL’.
This week we shall talk about CONTOURING, which is another important part of your makeup.
There are 6 different types of face shapes and eyebrows.
I will be explaining about two types of faces this week and shall continue with the remaining in the weeks that follow.
Knowing your face shape is the first step of creating your most beautiful look.
1. Oval Shape:
You do not need to contour at all as your face shape is already symmetrical. The best part is it supports almost all make up trends. You need to keep in mind that light shades appear more prominent and darker shades may decrease the size of the area.
2. Diamond Face
Those with Diamond Face need to Contour at the cheeks to minimise the width. Highlight your forehead, under your eyes and your chin to draw attention to the centre of your face.
In our next edition, we shall discuss two more types of face shapes. Until then stay tune and keep smiling.
You can contact me through my fb page “Adaraa- Your Make-up expert” or Ring me or Whatsapp me @ 9769311086
Bookings are open for this wedding season. Freeze your dates and call us for appointment and get your free trial done today.

Exactly seventy-five years ago, the Allied forcesfighting World War II landed on the beaches of Normandy to make a final thrustat Germany, who by then had nearly finished murdering 6 million Jews! Tears streaming down my cheeks I watched along with Trump, the Queen and others the tribute given to the troops who landed that day in Normandy, the only difference being I watched it on TV while they did in person at Portsmouth.
Along with the other dignitaries watching the tribute was the head of Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel.
I wonder what her feelings were as she watched 75 year old pictures of how the whole world attacked her country, not for land or loot but to stop the cruel Hitler and his wicked genocide programme.
What are the feelings of millions of Germans whose fathers and grandfathers were party to this mass murder?
How did they allow Hitler to gain power?
How did they allow him to continue his pervasive act?
How did they allow themselves to be convinced that this monster was the right person to rule?
While visiting the Holocaust museum two years ago, I realized that something Hitler relied on completely was the art of deception.
He convinced his people that he would lead Germany onto the path of progress.
He convinced Germans they were a superior race, and others residing in their country were second rate citizens who needed to be destroyed.
And the people believed him.
This was just seventy-five years ago. Not in the medieval or dark ages. Airplanes was not only invented but were a force to reckon with in the war. Cars with advanced engines were plying the cities.
Except for the internet, things were as modern as they are now.
A modern people who could be so cruel as to kill six million innocent men, women and children! Not batting an eye to their screaming, and cries for help in the gas chambers they themselves had built.
How?
I asked this question to six Germans who had visited my home a few years ago, and they put their heads down in shame.
It was deception of the highest order. Lies spread about a particular community. Hate, built up about a race, and that laid the foundation for a mass murder of the hugest magnitude ever, by the Germans.
In Shakespeare’s play, ‘Macbeth’, a distraught, guilt racked, sleep walking Lady Macbeth cries out, “Out damned spot!” while trying to wash her hands of the murder she had helped commit.
Watch out! Even as hate is used in plenty today, let our children and grandchildren not have to cry the same way or bow their heads in shame years later, as the world asks, “How?” to them..!
