The real king of Multitasking
Well most of you would have thought that I would be talking about computers and their abilities to perform multiple operations simultaneously. If that’s what you are assuming then you are wrong .I am going to talk about people’s multitasking abilities.
There are many people playing various roles in the society today, some of them do justice with all their responsibilities and perform the duties of requisite roles to perfection
While others fail very badly at it. Infact they end up doing miserably in their primary roles as well .Perhaps that’s why it is often said that we should do only that thing which we are best at .
Take an example of Mr.Sharad Pawar honorable M.P , Union Agriculture Minister , President BCCI, President M.C.A (Mumbai cricket Association) and finally President NCP and if this was not enough he was in the running for presidentship of ICC as well .
Fortunately or unfortunately he did not succeed in this attempt. All this shows that Mr.Pawar is a pretty versatile personality handling with ease issue ranging from affairs of B.C.C.I to issues concerning election of President of India, but is he able to do justice to all these myriad roles. Is he able to deliver and meet the demands of all these roles he is so comfortably multitasking . The answer is a big NO. I will not be going into politics and talk about his role as the president of NCP but I will be talking about his role as a Union Agriculture Minister and the President of BCCI as these issues are of national interest.
We all know our country is progressing and that our economy is growing at a rapid pace.
The GDP has clocked over 9% last year ,Rupee has strengthened against Dollar and dollar’s value has come down to Rs.40 but sadly agriculture’s contribution to all this is a paltry 3%. This sector is growing at a rate which is lowest when compared to all other sectors which constitute the economy . Every now and then death of farmers are reported from various parts of country making the growth story of our economy a laughing stock .
Many agricultural scientists believe that we need a second revolution , the need of hour is to reduce our perennial dependence on monsoons and use high yielding hybrid seeds .
We also have to educate farmers about modern methods of farming and supply them with latest equipments .
Sadly ,nothing is being done about it except giving death packages to the family of the deceased because at the helm is a man who is too busy to look into all these matters concerning the interests of farmers . He has to play other roles as well . Mr.Pawar does not have the time as he has overburdened himself with other responsibilities .
Now lets talk about cricket . Mr.Pawar has been at the helm for about two terms as a president now and during his term the state of Indian cricket has gone from bad to worse .
BCCI , the richest cricket board in the world is not a stranger to politicians being its presidents but under chairmanship of Mr.Pawar its administration has touched a new low.
Everyone knows about the world cup debacle and drama which has taken place while the appointment of new coach .BCCI may be the richest in terms of money but is among the most inefficient bodies when it comes to working .The tv deals are also being scrapped , but Mr. Pawar does not have enough time to devote to this role as well .
So if the team is leaving to England without a coach then so be it , who the hell cares ??
Mr . Pawar has other things to attend to as well afterall he has to decide who will be our new president . So, Mr. Pawar is on tv not talking about who will be the new coach or what he is doing as an agriculture minister to stop the suicides , he is here to talk about which way his party is going to vote in the president elections.
All these jobs needs a specialist person who can handle all these responsibilities one at a time.We all know the proverb “If we put our legs on two boats at the same time we are bound to sink” and sadly this has happened with Mr.Pawar. At an age when most people are retired or considering retirement he is keen on handling various assignments that are pretty taxing and arduous even if taken one at a time . I could understand Mr .Pawar doing all these if this affected him personally but sadly his multitasking is having an malicious affect on the public and the nation as well .Perhaps he should consider moving away from multitasking. He should do what he is best at, and it has been proved that its not multitasking.
