Context
A resident of Hong Kong, King Kong Shake-Sphere is also known to several individuals as King-Kong, Kong, Shake-Sphere, Shakespeare, Sheikh, Sheikh-Spear, and so on.
King Kong fights to establish justice, peace and the truth using two powerful weapons - love and honesty.
The more complete - but still incomplete - King Kong story is narrated in King Kong Shake-Sphere in a Business Jungle.
The essence of King Kong's adventures - and what he fights for - is that:
1. We cannot have peace without justice.
2. We cannot have justice without the truth.
King Kong struggles against several adversaries - from academia, the business world, the legal system and everywhere else - helping them overcome the allure of the Seductive Siamese Twins: Bias and B.S.
About the author
Brief Biography of The Narrator, The Author:
Ravi Kashyap has lived and travelled - studied plus partied, worked and worried, programmed and posed, modelled and mingled, taught and inquired, consoled and counselled - in Asia, America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and the Arctic Circle, while wondering where life will take him next - (think outside the box, or the planet, and wish Elon Musk good luck). He has six passports - and resident permits from several other countries - but he is not James Bond. He is not even a spy. He is just a couch, hammock (favourite position) and bed professor hoping to be a chair professor.
Fountain of King-Kong Shake-Sphere's Creation:
Ravi is fortunate to have experienced memorable times in the industry - setting the strategy for multi-billion dollar financial service divisions and product managing multi-million dollar products - while unfortunately having to witness disastrous accounts of human decision making.
He moved to academia to understand - more throughly - why highly destructive financial crisis were being spawned. A stint as a researcher made him realize the extreme insincerity, insecurity and intolerance prevalent in our higher educational institutions, even though there are many remarkable individuals doing exceptional work.
As frustration - that true welfare for everyone is still out of our reach although we have taken significant strides in eradicating problems related to basic necessities - descended upon him and intensified his quest for answers, it turned into motivation. When frustration becomes motivation, sense will dawn like dawn.
These problems - in business, universities and all across society - are part of the much wider vexing saga of the Seductive Siamese Twins - Bias and B.S. - overpowering mere mortals. Bias here refers to Cluelessness (Jumping to Conclusions without understanding something properly) and B.S. is Dishonesty.
Of course, all of us succumb to these pressures at times and perhaps, all of this makes life interesting at all times. Organizations are merely shells around shellfish selfish unfilled peoples. There are half empty crooked pots everywhere, but higher learning establishments have more than their fair share of them. And the problems multiply - and get magnified - when hollow vessels, purporting to be otherwise, end up influencing others - and what they learn - and policy matters disproportionately.
Hence, it is essential to ensure that all instructors - this includes every single one of us - are imparting the appropriate lessons for later generations. Unless we ensure that we provide the right role models for younger minds - by make sure that each member of humanity is worthy of emulation - taking human well-being to greater heights will be a tough ask, despite the tremendous progress we have made to remove / reduce survival pressures on most people.
Ravi’s work is focused on educating the educators - which is all of us - to help them overcome the allure of Bias and B.S.
He is one of the most read researchers globally on disciplines related to “Science without Borders, … Combined with the Arts”. A topic - which includes a lot of topics - though interesting to some, could get very boring for others.
Hence, he spends a good deal of his time - distilling methods to surpass Bias and B.S. - to create engaging scripts such as poems, stories, rhymes and other such literature which are read more widely than scientific articles. Shake-Sphere was born in the author's mind soon after the financial crisis, staying dormant and gaining powers perhaps. Before anything can become a reality it has to be conceived in our mind's first right? Shake-Sphere became King-Kong Shake-Sphere in 2023.
“Being A Human Being” is one of the longest poems written in the English language. Written in an incredibly symphonic lyrical manner, it is about human trials, tribulations and triumphs.
“London Bridge is Still Falling Down …” is the longest version - found till date - of the magically melodious nursery rhyme “London Bridge is Falling Down”. It is written specially for young children, but makes very entertaining reading for all folks rated TT and FL.
“King-Kong Shake-Sphere in a Business Jungle” is the full story of King-Kong Shake-Sphere's adventures in Business-Land. This is the work that will tie all the other portions - related to King-Kong Shake-Sphere's escapades in business - together. Though the full compilation is lengthy and the major portions are complete, the plan is to release it - to the public - in smaller chunks.
This is the origin story of the King-Kong Shake-Sphere story series. Surely, there is more to life in this Cosmos than Business. Many later works are in the works, but needless to say, they will depend on how life unfolds for the author. We might get to quiz a few celebrities - The Creators of The Cosmos - about their creation and how we fit into their schemes. We can only try to intuit mother nature's plans and timing for our lives. She will do what is right for us when it is right for us, if we do the right things ...
Please check the certifications on the corresponding works and become TT and FL before you read them. If you are still wondering what TT and FL mean, they stand for TT - Totally Tolerant, and FL - Fun Loving.
In a Nutshell: He is a Nice Guy and He Likes to Come Last. Outside the Nutshell, things can get complicated and we will save it for later. To find out who “He” is, please please yourself and proceed to peruse the adventures of …, as you seek to pursue a way of life void of Bias and B.S.
He recommends the electronic, Kindle, version - not just for his works but for reading all writings; Yes, Amazon is AmazinG, referring to both the forest and the website - but if you prefer printed pages, he kindly urges you to plant at-least one tree for every book you purchase. The specifics of how many trees are to be planted for what size of the book, and so on, will not be covered here. Though lawyers, politicians, and the like would like to get involved in such themes, let us keep them out of this.
Once you spend enough time reading King-Kong Shake-Sphere on "Being A Human Being" and his other ordeals - while pondering who Shakes this Sphere that we live on - you will know what is the right thing to do.
"The source of most (all?) human conflict (and misunderstanding) is not because of what is said (written) and heard (read), but is partly due to how something is said and mostly because of the difference between what is said and heard, and what is meant and understood …”.
Hence, he hopes that no one will take any offense to whatever he has said anywhere. But if someone did get offended, or disturbed or acted inappropriately, he sincerely regrets that - though such incidents might be enjoyable for some, including him, as long as there is no violence or abuse. Such misunderstandings imply that we are merely human, full of Bias and B.S. We need to rise above such prejudices, and focus on the real challenges, to continue onward on this journey.”
He is already famous, or infamous, - depending on who you ask, though both of these are almost the same for him, do not matter to him, and are not something he cares about - but please make him rich, which might matter a little to him, although it is also something he does not care about.
Definitely make sure your friends, neighbours, colleagues - say your mentors or mentees to make words like supervisors and sub-ordinates redundant, cousins, even distant relatives, spouses / lovers, especially ex-spouses / ex-lovers, classmates, students, teachers, etc. buy the King-Kong Shake-Sphere series since it will make them less serious - and minus Bias and B.S. - which will make your life much more delicious.
Anything that has a luscious taste is easier to ingest - and digest - while staying gracious. Anyone that has bought books with fantastic phrases will - sooner or later - be delightfully caught in words, which are highly sought. Surely, lovely lyrics are a balm to bring calm.
Putting these aspects - such as: vulgarly truthful jokes, moral marketing and candid commercials, which sound like oxymorons, but do not have to be if we fix the morons who believe they are (Bias), or pretend to be (B.S.), experts of the unknowns - aside. He would like to remind everybody that we are all idiots - not just the frauds doing charades - when compared to the intelligence of the creation around - and within - us. But when we accept that we do not know something, it will pave the way for wonderful possibilities as greater awareness will arise.
Don't get this book persuaded by the advertising, the reviews, the previews or what others tell you. Indulge yourself only if want to see first hand that “Every Verse is a Uni-Verse in this Multi-Verse Poem“. This is both literally and figuratively correct. Of course, every verse is a single verse in any collection of many verses, which is a poem. Every sentence of this poem is a verse here. You have to see the rest for yourself and then you will treasure it.
His humble request to you - which may not seem that modest even though, or perhaps because, it is very honest - is that you should read and comprehend what King-Kong Shake-Sphere on "Being A Human Being" is all about, before your grand kids ask you questions regarding it, after parts of it have become mandatory reading for them.
When curious youthful minds voluntarily request all of it for compulsory inclusion in the syllabus - though nothing should be made absolutely required but many things can be gently recommended - mission impossible has been accomplished.
When younger readers have such material materials to groom them, they will produce even better compositions. To see that happening should be our most cherished dream. When prospective pirates positively become purely profound prolific poets, only then will the pieces of peace come together to give perpetually peaceful prosperity.
