spoiler: Anurag to celebrate his failure. DT Note:pg : 13 - Page 9

At the risk of iconoclasting Jeff Bezo's clone Mr. Bajaj, once again :

Nope.... Morality/ Immorality does apply to businesses too..

Corporate Governance, Business Ethics, Ethical Leadership wouldn' t be there in business pedagogy if businesses were all about profit sans an iota of morality.

Ironically, not all NGOs are about charity and morality. Most often they are vehicles for money laundering , fostering separatist agenda and even financing of terrorism.

Can't discuss "Corporate Governance, Business Ethics, Ethical Leadership For Dummies", here

LASTLY, Compared to ethical leaders like Bill Gates, Bajaj's business ethics (or lack of it) be like:

"Aap Ka to Lagta Hai

Bas Yehi Sapna

Prerna Prerna japna

Paraya Maal Apna"

(Song Credit : Ke Pag Ghungroo, Movie Namak Halal, Year: 1982)

(Disclaimer : Original Song contains the word "Ram" instead of Prerna👆)

P. S : OK. So Bezo's clone aka Bajaj threatened the Gujral guy to wage strikes in his companies and freeze his bank accounts to acquire a 350 crore business house for 100 crores. What a Google(ish), Microsoft(ish), Amazon(ish), Facebook(ish) strategy of acquisition man.

Does Bajaj also own Reserve Bank of India? aise hi bank accounts freeze ho jate kisi k kehne par? India mein banks rbi regulate karta hai yaa Mr. Bezos? Oops I mean Bajaj?

Hello there,

@red : IF Bill Gates is considered ethical🤔 .. I shdn't even bother to debate abt business or ethics any further (and I hope I have the right NOT to debate)

If putting down Bajaj's shrewdness and his tactics of business makes "Anurag Basu successful" , then I am forced to agree Mr.Basu is so successful. 😎


and before I end an anecdote :

Few weeks back there were discussions in this forum, after Sushant's death, that cyber bullying and personal attacks on members in trying to defend our fav characters or actors is so wrong and condemnable .

So I told my friend the very same day, that ppl are so emotional today that is why all these apologies to other fan groups and are saying things like " we shdn't target ppl on personal level n stop cyber bullying and harassing ppl on social media or forums however unfathomable and deep the difference of opinions are " ,

but just let few days pass by, everyone will forget these things and get back to the same personal attacks and cyber bullying when discussing fictional characters and I am proven right, thanks to your comment and the likes on it , so thank you for that, and my understanding of business may not be as great as Anurag Basu's, but atleast I "think" I got the psyche of the SM right !

Hi there,

Yup Bill Gates is considered ethical...at least more ethical than the one who looks to acquire a 350 crore company for 100 crores via duress and coercian... So yeah let's just put a full-stop to that there and then...

LMAO... You were the one who started with the comparison of an idiotic character like Bajaj with the likes of Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Larry Page et. al... Anurag was not even in the equation. Where has he popped up from in our exchange all of a sudden??? Please don't make the deflection tactics so blatant...

@ Red: Empathetic, I must say. But I wonder where was the same when @ shin-chan indulged in the same?

"Reel life character business shark Bajaj se leke real life business sharks sab ko laana pad raha hain to prove the point ki Anurag character is a successful businessman...what a tragedy this character has become

......

........." (sic) (page 10 of the same thread)

(@bold above... )

Did that qualify or not as a personal attack to a member in your opinion then? Looks like it did not because it was simply reinforcing your point of view.

Sorry to borrow your lines but..

we shdn't target ppl on personal level n stop cyber bullying and harassing ppl on social media or forums however unfathomable and deep the difference of opinions are " ,

Hope you will pass on these pearls off wisdom at the other side of the fence too. Will be much appreciated, thank you.

Of course, SSR's death was tragic and condemnable, but it would be more appreciable if we could extend the same courtesy to another actor of this very darned Show who seems to be going through rough patch in his life...

@ Bold: oh of course, you have been proven right and how! sometimes it is the dearest ones who one receives the most unpleasant jolt from..

And no, Anurag Basu doesn't understand business. He is the most stupid character in the Show. But Anurag's stupidity neither elevates Prerna's understanding of business, nor justifies Bajaj's ways of doing business...

WRT getting SM psyche right, lets not judge the other person's psyche when you and I are very much the part and participant of this social media circus. Lets understand ourselves first instead of pointing fingers at other faceless people, let alone CLAIMING to understand something as intangible as "collective" psyche..

Great post! I read your other posts twice to understand where the personal attack was . I couldn’t find any unless calling out Bajaj’s unethical ways was taken as one . Also since likes on your posts was brought in, its only fair that we consider the likes on shin chan’s post too (which was a jibe at you ) while judging SM users

Post deserved most number of likes never have seen such a factful post as a reply..

I could just give only one like to it feeling sorry for that

Infact i was cursing the like button only 1 like mila uske post ko😭😭

Mods when we like any post so much and feels like reading twice pls enable superlike button tooo

We want to let that person know how much good she wrote with facts..

Cyber bullying kahin bhi na huwa hai..

Sorry to butt in.I'm not a fan of this Show, its characters. Habitual stalking landed me here.

However,

1) Google acquired Fitbit for $2.1 billion where Fitbit’s market capitalization stood at $1.5 billion at the time of acquisition

2) Facebook acquired Instagram for $ 1 billion. At the time of the acquisition, Instagram had just 30 million users and zero revenue

3) Microsoft acquired LinkedIn for $26.2 billion in an all cash transaction with the winning bid of $196 per share, which was unanimously approved as a fair bid by the then LinkedIn's Board of Directors

4) Amazon brought Twitch for $970 million in cash after Youtube refused to pay them their fair market value

(As a newbie, not allowed to post hyperlinks.Limiting them to information)

All were ethical acquisitions done either at "fair value" or at "market capitalization" without leaving the acquired company high and dry. These acquisitions happened as a win-win for all the parties involved.

From whatever I have gathered of the Show thus far, fairness, win-win and ethical acquisition were not Bajaj's style earning him a just name of business shark.

Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon on the other hand, do all the "mergers and acquisitions" necessary to grow and expand their individual companies, but they are not doing BAD or UNETHICAL business.

Once again, not a fan of this Show or any of its character in general. Lets not equate STUPIDITY and LACK OF LOGIC of this idiotic Show with the real-life golden-handshakes, please!!!

What's your profession? Looks like u keep tab on market...👍🏼 (sorry out of curiosity I am asking)

I am a newbie... As I wrote in my very first post, I am a habitual stalker of various Forums. Couldn't stop myself from replying yesterday not because I'm a fan of this darned Show or any characters thereof, but simply because whatever were being dished out here deeply disturbed everything I have been reading in "business school" ..

I think this is the most stupid Show running at GEC currently. The Show didn't require a "reboot" at the first place (my POV strictly).

I don't like Anurag, neither am I a fan of Parth, the actor.

I don't like Prerna, although I liked Erica in her previous show.

I didn't like KSG's Bajaj although I was both the actor's and his previous Show's fan.

I haven't watched any Show of the actor that would play Bajaj henceforth. That makes me neutral to both the actor and his probable portrayal as Bajaj as of now.

The only actor that I like in the Show is the one playing Anurag's mother as she is the only one consistent in her graph (my opinion strictly), despite portraying grey/often villainous shades.

The actors' personal life (any actor thereby) is none of my business..

My first post had nothing incriminating, neither anything rude.

But the jibe I got in return was hilarious as well as ridiculous at the same time.

And then to be "educated" on "cyber-bullying", "getting-personal", "SM psyche" and so on...

The Forum is more fun than the Show itself..

I agree with what you wrote above, forum is not fun 🤪anymore

The jibe you got in return was not hilarious😆 to me.. It is something which i cant put here..

From your end there was no personel attack or cyberbullying and SM pshyche as per me.

Jinko jo samajhna hai samjhe ... Samajhne dho

Hey listen to this song "kuch tho log kahenge logon ka kaam hai kehna"😎

I do not own this Forum, neither do i moderate it. Not on me to pass edicts and diktats on who have/not have right TO or NOT to debate (not pass sly digs). Please check with those concerned to clarify the confusion. Thank you..

You were counting "likes" on my post while "liking" a post indulging in "personal attack"..

Irony, painful death, RIP....!!!!!

We can't bring SSR back, no matter how much we want. But we can definitely prevent another actor from meeting the same fate. (Fact, not even an anecdote)

Empathy need not be selective, either....

Right hai ya wrong --- let's leave that to someone neutral instead of making yet another "UNFOUNDED" claim based on personal understanding of right and wrong!!!

Om.shanti 😊

Both of you are correct in your povs. You stated the facts while she is also stating a fact , that everyone in reality , from.an individual to corporates to business houses "compromise " on morals , only the magnitude is different .

Why is she talking about anurag ? This post IS about anurag only . You can check for yourself who brought in bajaj here and started comparing him with anurag to show him as a better character. And hence all the arguments which followed were a result of that.

I agree with all your views above and specially your likes and dislikes in kzk2 😆 Completely matches mine. We all know all the characters here r abs dumb and acted immoral at some point in the story. Only diff is certain xyz likes some character and hence the only way to show them good is to show the other as bad. Hence the justifications. Obviously the whole argument is pointless bec gadhe saare hi hain ..characters..

Please don't feel sorry for asking a genuine question.

Gr8.. you still studying?

Me too belong to finance. Good to see you here.

In kzk they made mockery business, stock markets. It's really amazes me, how can they present such kind of bullshit. It's not that makers are not aware of business and stock markets. They are very much into it. I think they assumed their audience are uneducated. So kuch bee chalta he. Here no character worth of praising. All character presented as dumb and story has no head or tale. Forget abt business, stock market, atleast present story proper way with lil logic. They cannot give us that too. I am only watching for parica. I feel good to see them onscreen. Other than them nothing interests me in this serial. Beja baju me rakke dekne wala serial he ye. I hv promised myself this will be first and last show of Ekta.😆

Bingo.. If liking posts is now going to be considered bullying, then I pity the mods of this forum. They may as well throw on the towel!

And I found nothing to constitute a personal attack in her post too. She was responding to a rhetoric which was already brought in by another member.

In fact, id go a step further and say she was much much more polite than all members here are while posting. Members who are veterans and know the rules of IF and especially the complicated web that is the kzk. . And brilliantly articulate.

More power to you, and hope you do keep posting, even if it's from a completely neutral or highly critical Point of view.

Hello guys,

These are some things we want to clarify:

1. If a member doesn't agree to your point of view, it doesn't mean that they are questioning your opinion. You can agree to disagree in a polite way. Counter posts are allowed but it shouldn't be mocking the member you are quoting.

Ex: Member 1: x has eaten mangoes

member 2: I do not agree that x has eaten mangoes. I feel they have eaten Oranges.

This isnt bashing.

Member 1: x has eaten oranges

Member 2: Your views are idiotic. You have no knowledge on this subject.

This is questioning views and bashing.

2. Do not moral police others. You can have your own opinion but do not ask others to change theirs.

3. Indirect mocks are not allowed in the forum.

4. Do not bring in topics which are unrelated to the thread. Discussion of real life is only allowed when it is in the scope of topic.

5. If you are getting attacked, kindly report rather than moral policing or calling out the members in the thread.

6. Characters can be criticised and bit of sarcasm is also allowed when it comes to character. Please remember this is only applicable for characters and not actors.

Opening the topic back, but please do keep in mind that you are talking to real people and not bots. Please be kind to each other.
