Straight ahead

"Endless path or limitless goals,social solutions to economic impact
challenging patterns of day and night,noons and evenings
freedom over slavery and the guts to dream
the journey then from dream to plan and from plan to goal
the standing wall,strong as steel-nerves wrecked and ethics reeled
world has come to a broadway lie,corporates outward sly
when I dreamt of a far away land,i knew it was easy and lame
if the change was to begin,i had to be one starting a fling
and then the time came by,that decision evoked hue and cry

when everything looked dizzy in mind,some people knew guy wanted to try
they pushed and shoved and loved and adored untill he started by
it created a lasting impact,the lives around were still the same
with now and then seeking support,it was obvious life was just beginning
a life that wanted to lend its years,to buy happiness and end all fears
There were still doubts as ideas were talked,ofcourse some joked
there were all different men and women who heard it out
some were curious some just had doubts,and some had no idea,were knocked out

Thats true,there are people but there are some cool guys
As krishna said in Gita,its really not about shirts and ties,jackets and dyes
Looked secretly to their profiles,took inspiration most times
Its a good fact,life is what but speeding by,either die or you try
Work had to be loved,love was found,creating enterprise that was not around

Everyday was different,It is still,everyone has a different time
An important time of a business life,some to keep but some good byes
Today I want to think and know,a few men,women who reflect a  similar view
Going ahead,it is important to see,who is your own and who a mystery
I dont blame you,oh my dear,its me who keeps looking from the rearview mirror
Important you see its a serious act,a happening life on a very long track,
Decisions are what but looking ahead,seeing the past and fitting it in time..

Saw you Looking for a bunch of pie's,you might well sell tickets in black and white
Decided to move you at the bottom of my pile,you are so fragile
You must endure and dream along,you shake your strength and shake your soul
you have to dance on the wildest tunes,you have to follow those simple clues
I am very patient if you want to try but ruthless otherwise
Business is not just a wallet size,it is creating meaning in lives
Look from my eyes,you will see the sky,never lust when love says hi..
I pity you but who am I,life is yours and hope you strive

Nothing you ever had learnt before,if cash had become a nasty drive
If you were to run an enterprise,keep in mind your vision intact
I wish your health would stay fine,and ethics your solid ground
You have choosen a wonderful path,even today its out of time
father is a great man,who tells this guy,greatest secret beneath the sky
So to say,every day and night,your values my greatest pride
you have done your best all life,yours would be this life lived by..."

Beautiful Patna sky from where I secretly do cig's at times

To the Capitalists

When ideas are born,they are rejected.Then they are admired.And it becomes the most powerful thing.It assumes power first of all by disturbing the most powerful,basically by challenging the contemporary.
I know you're taking it in the teeth,but the first guy through the wall,he always gets bloody.Always.This is threatening not just a way of doing business,but in their minds,it's threatening the game.Really, what it's threatening is their livelihood, their jobs.It's threatening the way that they do things.Every time that happens,

whether it's a government,a way of doing business, whatever,the people who are holding the reins,they have their hands on the switch,they go batshit crazy.I mean, anybody who's not respecting a good idea right now

and rebuilding their work and the world around them based on that idea,they're dinosaurs.They'll be sitting on their ass on the sofa at the end of their life and probably repent over asumptions of if they would have.And thats good because this world is being driven that way.

And bytheway I absolutely despise and hate Mukesh and Anil Ambani who are nothing but crazy crows born in a billion rupee nest.Cronies.No respect and sometime in the future,someone with an intent must and will shake their souls out.

Okay enough of raw feelings,check this interesting pic out which shows the aha moments of few cool guys who are entrepreneurial legends now

Oh and if you do care about music that I hear now a days ..haha its repeat mode,a typical trait of mine.Currently there are two songs really - Time flies tuesday 2011 and Akon's blame it on me.
And,ofcourse I am really hunting bad for a new fav girl.Thats a deep void since what,ages now probably.Good for me.No desperation,no womanising,just chill.

Should old acquaintances be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And days of auld lang syne?

Tc folks.Life is racing but dont loose your breath and never loose your heart.

Corrupt,oh you anti social

Corruption is very much into your skin.Infact it is your clothe,your bread,your roof & almost your evth.Go back into years and reimagine how you would have lived if corruption weren't that fed you.If you starve a poor and give yourself an extra bread,if you let the roads be compromised and people be killed,what civility allows you to buy yourself many cars,if you are adjusting justice to someone's suitability,you are hurting a poor,you are hurting strugglers and doers of the world,you are stripping those of their money who have earned it by in someway carrying this planet on their shoulder,and then you seek respect just because you built a big bloody house and stoned it with your name.You save a criminal,who rapes many,kills many more, and still you manage to lie to your family that you are a hero and that you punish and catch criminals.This corruption is in the system.And those who practice it are infact the champions of current education system.So ideally,they know that they are doing wrong but they go on and still do it.Whats the root cause of corruption and how could it really be impaired ?
I dont really think they are bad human beings but they are weak men and women who fall for money.So clearly since they are weak and since they do it for money,there could be three simple ways of dealing with corruption 1. Love for society cum weakness of money Psychometric tests for everyone before taking on such responsibilities and zero tolerance for negative results.Declaration of all expected other income before taking up a responsibility.
2. Secret corruption shoppers in each state reporting to maybe CAG or Lokpal who would be monitoring and summoning people,very much operating like RAW with informants etc.Ofcourse evth would need to be cross checked.
3. Further,once proven guilty,at no cost law to be bent or leveraged.Intent of govt to be clear empowering common men that corruption is disaster and that corrupts are social enemies.

How I am inspired and why I may succeed...

I wanna write today because I have two hours ago walked out of a movie theatre after having a really fine time watching 2 States.It is so importaant how my thoughts always return to just one thing everytime there is a Tamil connection.There was this girl who was significant enough to leave those ever lasting memories in my mind and that pretty feeling in my heart.Have you ever just stopped and realized that if you hadn't met a certain person in your life, your life would be completely different.Yes,that is the person I always turn back to.Its not that I have become a different person,no.She was very similar to me in a lot of ways and my thinking about life,about shaping life,about living it,my approach towards family,love,happiness,success and all other little things that matter.When we spoke for long hours in night she would not talk about her much,I would talk about her all the time and she would talk only about me,these selfless calls on phone were only a reflection of our unconditional love.What she did to me therefore was that,she made me a big guy-if measured by aspirations and imaginations.She inspired in me her believes,which were my believes too,her dreams,her strive for success,her intoxicating laughter at all serious unimportant things in our lives,infact her complete beauty was unknowingly shared between us.She was an angel, if angels were to be the most beautiful people in the world.With all this,I changed.I would probably have still thought about different aspirations I had but the urge would definitely have been weak and fragile.It could have probably evaporated at a tempting job and a safe life,which usually does happen with 99th percentile among us.It is wiser only because,risk cannot be shared by all.If all were to share this risk,how would everything else function.
So maybe the alchemy of universe points a few out and leaves them out in the wild open to either make a difference or get swallowed while trying at it.Thats the risk you take and it is often inspired by a strong desire.That stregth,which I have in me,has come to me only because she came in my life.My parents,my father and my mother are the reasons I live for and she still is a distant cause of any shape that my life will take.Because really,the very time when those dreams were shaped aren't when I met you,they were long back,when I was still trying to get a hang of how reproduction in humans work,that back.Or even earlier,when I saw my most honest administrator father have all the greatness that respect and integrity brings but still not a step closer to achieve his faraway dreams.These are important moments that happened,when my mother would look at the TV and enjoy those soaps and imagine only what she would know.If all this is landing you to a feeling that I had a struggling story with my family,then I wrote bad,I was trying to say how my dreams have shaped in real.They have been born from different dots in different times.They are more of many people's dreams that I have taken to become mine.It would be a perfect ode to a wonderful man and a lovely woman if their son can complete the circle of their life.It would make a lot of sense.But this needed utter strength and that strength wasnt born out of the dreams themselves,there was only way,it needed an inspiration.I’m pushing you away but I’m pushing you gently so you’re not gone, not completely. I wait for you to resist my feeble attempts and return again and again and again, until you never leave at all.
My entrepreneurial journey will be fascinating to wonder about .It could either become an unknown tale of an unknown dreamer or it will become story of a fearless entrepreneur.In any case when I would probably close my eyes for always,even a moment before that,they wouldn't reflect to anyone else that I didn't live.Popularly known is to all what life is.It is the most amazing opportunity one gets in life and to top it up I got everything else to make it comforting and still when I go how could I ever complain.I would never compalin.I am not coplaining even now.I have started my bit and have become slowly an evolving entrepreneur.Amidst the most impeccable memories of love and childhood nurturing,I have it in me to endure what I aspire.I have seen men-women stubborn in pursuit of path they have chosen because thay don't know the significance of goal,I on otherhand am very stubborn in the pursuit of my goal.I have always been an advocate of ethics ,integrity and honesty and therefore they are in my blood.On the grounds of righteousness,nothing I ever do shall ever harm anyone else.The most interesting aspect of my thought process is,money has no place anywhere,it is only as important as a centimeter ,a kilogram or a miles per hour is.Ideas,management,leadership,contribution,wipe out of crony capitalism,justice to deserved economically,fair pricing,inspiration are rather something's which matter a lot to me,among others.

On a parting shot,I cannot only let her be the cause of it all,what if its a havoc? Its mine more if it blows but if it flies its all yours. 

Ditch toxic people

One of the most significant things you can control is association -- your choices of who you permit into your world, who you give time to or invest time with, and who you look to for ideas, information and education. The people around you rarely have a neutral effect. They either facilitate your accomplishment, they undermine it, or they sabotage it outright.

The first useful association tactic is the elimination of toxic people and saboteurs. It's not an easy thing to face facts about a friend, family member, long-time employee  or long-time vendor when they are, in some way, interfering with or disapproving of your accomplishment. It's important to face these facts and to act on them because the more time you spend with people who are unhelpful, unsupportive, disrespectful, envious, resentful, dysfunctional or outright damaging to you, the less value all your time has.

These people don’t just harm the minutes you and they are in the same place. Few people can so perfectly compartmentalize that they can lock every thought, assertion and act of a toxic person in a little mind box and without leakage into other mind boxes. Paraphrasing a Chinese proverb (I found in a fortune cookie), if you lie down with mongrel dogs, even for a short nap, you wake up with fleas -- and they ride with you wherever you go.

Ideas, beliefs, opinions and habits work just like that. Even if you're associating only occasionally or briefly with someone who is intellectually or emotionally toxic or someone who is feckless and inept, it’s enough time for the fleas to leap from them to you, burrow in and be carried away by you to subtly affect your performance and productivity. If your creativity or constructive thinking or work performance is thus diminished, so is the value of your time.

People who are detrimental for you to associate with are not necessarily of evil intent. They may all be “good people,” but that doesn’t mean they’re good for you. Good chocolate cake is not good for a diabetic. In fact, it’s poison. Associating with somebody who is always pushing it to you, saying “Just have a tiny piece” is just as suicidal as baking it for yourself.

There are lots of ways a person can be toxic and poisonous to you. I’ve had clients describe how recurring disputes with a particular employee were mentally exhausting but couldn’t be helped because otherwise, that person was a great asset. The “otherwise” is a big problem. Many small businesses wind up with a ruthlessly defensive key person who goes into murder mode anytime an attempt is made to add a second person but is “otherwise” terrific.

There's the “we tried that before” guy. If it were up to him, we’d light the place with candles because Edison would have been limited to one try. There’s the “constructive critic,” always making you feel inadequate or undeserving, in the guise of being a cautionary ally worrying over you stubbing a toe.

On the other hand, constructive association with creative, inspiring, encouraging people can do a great deal to bolster your performance, thus making your time more valuable. Each minute of your time is made more or less valuable by the condition of your mind, and it is constantly being conditioned by association.

The entrepreneur is particularly susceptible to gaining or losing power by association because he has so many diverse responsibilities and is often operating under pressure, duress and urgency. Playing this game in a compromised mental state, weakened or wounded by poor ideas and attitudes seeded into the mind by association, is extremely difficult. Playing it strengthened and empowered by rich ideas and attitudes seeded into the mind by association can make the difficult easy.

Simply put, you want to deliberately reduce and restrict the amount of your time left vulnerable to random thought or association, and deliberately, sharply reduce the amount of time given to association with people who won’t make any productive contribution and may do harm. Does that mean you can only spend time with people you are in complete philosophical agreement with? No. In fact, such isolationism can be dangerous. But it does mean you should avoid association with people who believe and promulgate beliefs diametrically opposed to “success orientation.”

You want to deliberately increase the amount of your time directed at chosen thinking and input, and constructive, productive association. You want to associate with strivers and achievers, with winners and champions. This is an uplifting force that translates into peak performance, which makes all your time more valuable.

Quintessential me

I keep trembling at the thought of an overlapping distress that often rises out of pretty much believable anxiety i am going through.Setting things right ,doing them fine and moving forward is essentially the lecture I hear out.See,I have made a choice and when I was doing it,I truly wanted to throw myself at the aisle and feel the heat of the dusty charcoal.There are different ways in which a life shapes up.Everyone can be successful I think and all of them in different ways.What drives me is not success at all,my perception of life is very subjective.Discussing that will infact make sense only when there is something substantial which it tells to the world.
Now,entrepreneurship to me is giving back a lot and lot to the world.I believe beyond Politics,beyond what an IAS could do in India for eg. and beyond other walks people take in life,this journey of building up an organisation can in a great way encompass all the dimensions one can think of.It is indeed very important for me to dream very big,I am a dreamer and I have no boundaries.I remember telling my girlfriend in college once that,you will see that India will rise above the west,people will earn better,live better and be much more proud.When she asked how will this happen and who will do it,& since she was very lovely and understanding,I thought she will understand this as well.I said to her then that I will contribute my part and try and make it happen.She didnt laugh and I think that was a moment my love just turned eternal for her.It was at the age of  20 or 21 I think.
Even before,I remember drawing a flow chart on one of the 2002 diaries dad gave me,had written very clearly what I wanted to do some 4-5 pages.Diary is lost sadly .But,I have all the memory of that diary being read by my sis one evening and she feeling great while reading it.She involved herself totally into it and asked bhaiya how!!what will be the name!!where will you go!!etc.etc.That day,I think I started respecting my younger sister a lot.I was 15 then.
So,its always been damn clear in my head and I have often seen the path take a shape when I do close all other doors viz-the worlds drama-polity-dismay-failure-crap-shit etc.The feeling of getting lost into that endless world of possibilities shakes me up,positively.At that moment,I am often aware of my capabilities.I think then,I should do it because I could do it.At most I could fail,and then probably still manage to make a livelihood and just live-which in any case I would have made and done had I choosen the typically correct walk to life.
This journey has begun.It has still not taken the peak though.Still searching for the escape velocity,and sometimes getting carried away by the menial possibilities of the punk culture of capitalist corporates.Paycheck-Promotion-Missile-Bomb,thats fine-but not for me.As I begun,I drew this thick line of difference in each and all.I stand by it and I am all tied up setting myself to differentiate my individuality as well.This difference if I can create it,I will owe to the few who mean a lot in my life.Even if I fail,I will still owe my life to them.
