Avijeet Das
“The World is currently suffering in the Covid 19 Pandemic. The situation that all of us are in could be handled in a different way. May be the leaders of all the countries are not being able to recognise that they are going around in circles.

Perhaps the leaders need to apply an Out-Of-Circle Thinking Process.”
Avijeet Das

“We must do all we can to imagine the Other before we presume to solve the problems work and life demand of us.”
Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations
