My first piece for the Hindustan Times. The Ram Gopal Varma in Kejriwal. How could Kejriwal take seriously wisdom that is not his own? After all, he has been proved right so many times and the world wrong. If he had listened to people, he would have been a software engineer in the suburb of a suburb of San Francisco — nothing wrong with that at all, honourable even, but surely Kejriwal has done better by not listening. If he had listened to people he would have remained an old man’s sidekick, crawling on to a stage to whisper things to his chief, announcing fasts people had got tired of and breaking them with fruit juice given by little girls. People with great instincts begin their lives wading through the cesspool of opinions, most of them hostile to their own inner voices, and as they begin to succeed against all odds they find it hard to respect the collective wisdom of the world. Because they have seen from so close how wrong the world can be. - See more at: hindustantimes/comment/analysis/lead-without-listening-the-career-lows-of-rgv-and-kejriwal/article1-1236074.aspx#sthash.nL0Cmg80.dpuf
