A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

The Lack of an Oasis in The Desert of Leadership

In my childhood, I came across a story of a master exploring the desert with his camel, and at night, he slept in a tent while the camel was outside. The camel gradually managed to make a passage of his head inside the tent and warm itself owing to the cold. The master felt pity for it. Gradually the camel entered its whole body and forced the master to get out of the tent. The message is clear that if you show pity to one who is unable to realize what is exactly pity and empathy, the fallout will be disasters. I guess, there is needed to be an understanding about the matching of wavelength and if we ignore it, it is obvious that we have to pay the price of it.

Once in my own known domain, I allowed a person to explore. He assured me of a due package and asked me to help him in order to achieve his desired goal. He simply hoodwinked me. As a superior to me, I extended my all possible support to comply his assignment, where he promised me with a due package along with a certain portfolio to facilitate him to achieve his aspiration. The moment he got momentum regarding the concerned project, he first oust me from the project only to take the credit of the successful completion of the project. Besides the rampant corruption he exercised utterly flummoxed me. I could not envisage how low a man can be just to assert his mundane goal!

Thereafter I deliberately resigned from the concerned project, rather he forced me to resign through his dirty politics of nepotism. When I lodged a complaint regarding him to the superior, surprisingly they endorsed him instead of me. I felt sheerly humiliated and finally withdrew from the concerned project.

The inference I drew from the above incident, the constraints of a camel comparing to humane which humans alone perhaps possess! On the contrary, humans too possess a mind to think, perceive, and have the capacity to cause harm to their own fraternity, unlike any other creatures.

I evidently realize thereafter, the gravity of a tent in a desert in the cold night and what measures are needed to be taken for a human to adapt and suffice. If we are only governed by emotions then we are surely beckoning our own jeopardy. Besides, I strongly believe that managers, who are focused only on instant gain, they will surely not be able to sustain for a longer period and their success are ephemeral which they could experience within their tenure of assignment evidently.

I wonder about the consequence being emerged after the rising Sun to emerge in the horizon. How the master eventually behaved with his pet companion and how the camel ultimately sustain! Whether they maintained a status quo or separated from each other perpetually for the rest of their voyage in the desert.

Humans can write stories, but the camel cannot. Human only possesses vengeance, grudge, and ecstasy, while the camel only craves to survive by following the command of its master. It does possess the duality of attack and defense or any nefarious ploy just to sustain and survive.

We poor humans sometimes are forced to adhere to a policy being crafted by the managers just only to eke out like camel and our masters, who usually claimed as managers with their skill and self-admired inclinations make our life miserable. Are they truly admired as leaders? They too are blind like the master of the said camel, unable to fathom the potential of a camel, who actually navigates him in the desert. They are just focused on their only goal to seek profits of their own as well as for their organizations, hardly bothering the workforce who are the main driving force for their wheels of profits, and ignoring them will only hasten the process of scripting their own obituary. They only remain as a dead or decaying element in the pages of human history!

I Debasish Majumder, hailing from Kolkata, State: West Bengal, Country: India, born in a middle-class family in the year 1965 and brought up in an environment extremely favorable for me to garner knowledge from people from various walks of life. Their lives and livelihood are of immense gravity to me as I considered myself as a fortunate one to be facilitated to interact with those who possessed multi-faceted experience and thrived vigorously in their respective fields. Since my schooling as well the path of my studies till I completed my graduation in humanities and thereafter working in various organizations has enabled me to get hands-on experience about the twist and turns of life where I observed the plight of myriad who are economically vulnerable and how they combat the life and even capable to enjoy the every drop of it without complaining about their state. Since my childhood, my passion for the English language and English literature enabled me to explore the world in and around me out of fabulous authors and their valuable renditions which even unveiled front of me the true picture of nature and how it is now confronting peril out of greedy few sharks in the veil of few humans obliterating the very essence of humane! Their works encouraged me to pen down articles, short stories, and poems with my little ability and I have already had a number of paperback editions of my compilation of short stories and poems which are now available on Amazon and other global sites. My alacrity for learning regarding nature as well the society along with the people who are considered as the most precious imperative for us to be enriched. I am blessed by innumerable notable thinkers and philosophers whose works appealed to me enormously, and even helped me to shape up myself by virtue of their expressions. I am having little capacity to translate the reflections of the present society, precisely for the acumen of a myriad of learned persons who have helped me to widen my vista with their wisdom and wide array of knowledge. My sincere effort was navigated by those enlightened persons and I tried with my best of ability to reflect on the scenario I have observed in the journey of my life.
