Human'Culture' Vs Agri'Culture'

Hello Friends,

Welcome to Anbusivam’s blog page.

Human'Culture' is essentially the interpersonal relationships, I am talking about. Relationship is the way we relate with people around at home, work place, club or community. We are always surrounded by people with varied interests, attitudes, behaviors, dreams and so on.

Yeah, I got the same question you’ve now. Why agriculture here? in the concrete jungles, where we live today. I am sure our younger generation either doesn’t know or never had a chance to understand the great wisdom of our age old farmers and their cultivation methods. By saying Human'Culture' equivalent to Agri'Culture' the point I want to make here is Personal Relation is almost equivalent to Cultivation. If one can understand the simple things to be followed in cultivating a crop and getting a good yield out of it then the same principles could be effectively used in our personal space as well for better relations.

After publishing my earlier post on Leadership = Gardening , I had been to an interior village in Tamilnadu to attend one of my cousins family function. Every time I go there I would say the amount of knowledge and wisdom I get is always in abundance. Yeah, it’s from an 80yrs old Granny nearby. The way she interacts with people is amazing and I’ve never seen such a person in our great corporate houses. Lessons one could learn from her can never be found in any best sellers or from great management gurus. It had come all the way from her 80yrs of lively experience in that small village. She could relate any personal relation with agriculture and cultivation. Here, I am posting few of my learning’s form our Granny’s wisdom.


Agri'Culture' : No quick fixing and short term corrective action will work.

Human'Culture : Quick fixing will actually worsen the situation in relationships.


Agri'Culture' : Cultivation is a pursuit and can’t be done in a weekend.

Human'Culture : Rebuilding relationships (marriage, Children, friendships etc) just can’t be done over a weekend.


Agri'Culture' : Procrastination in cultivation destroys the crop and yield.

Human'Culture : Procrastination in personal relations ends up in great emotional stress.


Agri'Culture' : Cultivation is based on Natural laws regardless of our awareness or obedience.

Human'Culture : Personal relations are based on emotional feelings regardless of the individual.

Once she asked, Can you go days without milking the cow, and then get out there in a weekend and milk like crazy? So also in our personal relations, there is no quick weekend fix as such. It should be a pursuit day in and day out.

In cultivation, one should prepare the ground well before the rains, put in the seeds on time, water it and weed it regularly, then naturally there is growth, development and yield. Same simple steps would work very well in our personal lives as well.

Let me know your comments and thoughts on this.
