Study Circles

Shrikrishna: Arey Arjun, yesterday I called you many times; but you didn’t pick up the phone.

Arjun: Bhagwan, I was attending a lecture in our study circle meeting.

Shrikrishna: Oh! What was the topic?

Arjun: yehi – apna Ethics! Bhagwan, I tell you, the future of the profession seems to be very bleak. Everybody was crying.

Shrikrishna: I am aware. There are many risks and threats. Too many regulations, harassment by Regulators, excessive expectations of clients, no reward ………Right?

Arjun: You said it. On many occasions, I have shared my worries with you. No good staff, no good articles. Can’t really cope up with the work. So many compliances!

Arjun: There is no unity amongst us. We cannot afford to say ‘No’ to any client. Whatever he wants we have to bow down. I am told, even well-established firms also have not much choice

Shrikrishna: True. I wonder whether real independence was ever there in your profession. That way, in all professions, the situation is more or less the same.
