Power of words: How they define actions

Word: Wilful (adjective)

Meaning — intentional, intent on having one's way/obstinate

A word that has been hounding Indian businessmen this past week is 'wilful'. The King of Good Times has been accused of wilfully defaulting on payments to banks and seems to be keeping it together just by sheer will, pun intended.

The word also brings to mind other wilful personalities such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is running out of goodwill and Ram Gopal Varma, who wilfully cheesed off most of the country over comments on the Elephant God and has been wilfully offending cinephiles for a long time.
