Aah! Just feeling delighted this time as I am going to write about love or say first love. First love which usually happens in childhood and happens just in one go. No one notices or care about the future of that love, they just want to live in their present. At that moment, everything seems so cheerful and bright and lovely and caring. They make promises and a lot happens over those promises.
But in the meantime, they forget the difficulties lying ahead either in the form of regionalism, socialism or casteism. They have not been told of all these in their childhood to consider all these before liking someone. But still it's his/her fault and its him/her who has been told to comprise. May be that's why it is innocent where we don't know that this will lead us to sacrifice, where heart jt pund with a glimpse of him/her. But the brain never see the future problems in the vicinity.
But as we grow more our love seems to be more mature as per others because this time we have taken consideration of same those castes, regions, religions and status.
But this love is more mature even though it is restricted and that innocent love is childish as per others and it is free soul like nature. If such innocent love is regarded "childhood attraction" and childish by the world. Then , to hell with the world.

Start-Up
Every now and then million of startups come into existence in thoughts and ideas. Most of us just want to start a firm or company just on the basis of an idea and for us the main thing that matters is that idea and how to sell that idea and earn profits as per that.
But you know, only few to very few survives this bloody competition and ground reality. And as per me, the most obvious reason is that we never make plans on ground research data or surveys. We rarely look towards the small details of an idea, but it's those small details that led to fail of start-up. Like for a start-up in environmental consulting, if we just clicked with an idea of that with more consciousness towards environment, there has already been ready made market. And specially for college graduates or with little experience we ought to start in that field about which we can easily gather the info and case studies and all. Rarely does we, in India think from level zero to analyze the basic needs or demands.
Also one of the major problem that i realize personally at my end is the hesitation to do "any sort of work" for the start-up. Specially the college graduates from reputed institutes, before making the start-up into a profitable company they have to fulfill their desires of luxurious car and other amenities along with developing a habit of sitting inside a chamber and behaving like a CXOs. Also the operational part is the most difficult one in Indian scenarios because of such a variety in culture and lingo, which rarely make the working staffs comfortable among themselves.
As per me, from my experience of working in an start-up at its nascent stage as well as its growing stage, I personally feel that ground level thinking with attitude of working any job in the interest of start-up along with managing people that relates to operational and HR management of the firm are sufficient for start-up to thrive in addition to so called "business model".

Another journey....
I don't know why, but every time i travel in train, I feel like writing blogs. May be this is because I am free to think and nothing else to do in train. Or may be because it's at the train I can see and analyze a lot many number of people from different class of society or from different cultures and having different behavior.
This time I am thinking and making an analogy between the life and train class.
While travelling inside an AC compartment, we are limited to the artificial environment of one compartment. We do able to see the outside world but with a tinted glass that prevent us from the actual climate and odour outside in the real world. Also we are surrounded by the people who are remained limited to that sort of environment and aloofness from outside world. But still they are the executive class of the society who have the largest say in the policy making as well as in the execution of the policies. This is what happens in real world also.
Next comes the sleeper class, where you are exposed to the actual climate and odour of the real world. You are surrounded by the lower middle class of society and exposed to their discussions which are related to either the actual problems at the ground level or how caste system and other favoritism is still prevalent in Indian politics and societal affairs. There a lot different types solutions come into existence but very little of them have a say in policy making or execution part.
I don't understand one thing, How one sitting inside an AC room with all the facilities available can make the best policy for those working in scorching sun with worst working condition one can think of. At least they should spend a day with them or seeing them working before making any judgement on the policies for them.

That corner room is mine
Knock Knock....Ahh! not again yaar. Every evening whenever i tried to sleep, there would intermittent knocking at the door. It's not because I am very popular or most sought after but the problem is that my room is at the corner of the so-called squared LakeView hostel and is nearest to mess or the nearest exit point for my wingies. For everyone, it's just a one time or twice a day but for me I don't know how many times. Everyone knocks during dinner time, but this doesn't mean that everyone is desiring to dine with me; it's just because my room is at the corner and I can't do a thing against this. But there is at-least a benefit for me where I am the closest to the mess or the exit point. And never get late to class because that single knock in the morning by atleast a one make my day.
But all these above experiences make me realizing the fact that may be one way or other, whenever we are hurting someone even for once but it may be that he/she is being hurt by many others. And if under that circumstances, he/she reacts against you; you should not confront back but instead try to solve his problem by listening to him. In normal day to day life, what i feel is that we are trying to take benefits from others or knowingly or unknowingly hurting someone. Here, I am not saying not to take benefits but atleast not using them just for our good. It may be possible that someone is frustrated just because of its position or location etc. But there are also benefits associated with that and we just have to realize the benefits and manage the ill-effects.

Interests Contd......
Can one devote (or you can say waste) his 2 to 3 years of most productive phase of life just for a goal he/she is not contempt with.
Well, the answer is in affirmative and up till my knowledge they are mostly Indians. And the worst side to that is they are the most brilliant minds.Just for the sake of building the profile to get an entry into the Ivy League or HBS or LBS, they are involved into Start-Ups or into social works. The main motive behind all these efforts is to enter some of the best B-schools of the world and either be a Banker, Trader or CEO of any MNC.
Up till my exposure to such candidates, what i feel that they are in a race where they are supposed to prove themselves to their parents, friends, batch-mates or to the world. Neither do they have any interest nor they have the time to devote into something they like because by the time they are liking some field or job or work; another one is ready alluring them to be followed.May be this is because the way we Indian children are raised, where we are always compared with others either into our academics or in sports or in extra curricular activities. Competition is like the sixth sense organ we have from child, always bothering about something others have and never about the peculiarity we have. And the uneven economic distribution inside India is one among the major contributor to this. Every or at least most of the best minds from middle class families always aspire to be a CEO or MD or a guy with lots of money. Their aim is to be the best in the field they are choosing.
Up to this point, it's more or less acceptable but the problem comes when you become the best or you achieved the goal. Now you are aimless, the aim or goal with which you are thriving throughout your life is gone. Now you are looking for the field or the work you are most interested in.Here What i don't understand is; If finally we have to work into something we are most interested in, then why wasting 10 to 12 years of life in just proving yourself to anyone into a field which is not of your choice.
May be because of this, we Indians are very productive but rarely creative . Most of the time, we are good bankers, good consultants, excellent in programming but rarely we own a powerful programming language or a ground breaking/industry shaking patent.Thursday, December 22, 2011
Sustainable Career
When i was in 2nd standard i wanted to be the prime minister of India. That was becoz i heard from somewhere that it's the prime minister who owns everything we encounter in our day to day life.
When i came to 5th, i wanted to become a doctor because every time when i said to become prime minister; they laughed and said,"who wants to be prime minister? You should rather be a doctor or an engineer."
When i was in class 7, i came to know about novel prize and the charisma associated with that and i decided to be a scientist.
When i came to 8th, i came to know about IIT and engineering from my school seniors and my elder brother and the money i would be earning after that. Then i wanted to be an engineer.
When i was doing B.Tech, saw a glimpse of real world during internship. After reading magazines and lot of articles i decided to go for civil servicesand started preparing for that.
And now i am here doing MBA and focusing on finance as a career for me. You never know
"What life has stored in it for you."
Throughout my academic career of 21 years, i have been continuously going after one aspiration or another just on the basis of the career opportunities and so called WIIFM

Does it matter.....
Last five days...i have seen more emotions than last five years of my life. Placements, especially the summer internship placements made the feelings so aroused even the most stable could not hold on his emotions. May be because of the expectations we have whenever we try to achieve our goal, may be because when we see our dreams to be lived by others, or may be because even after such a good friendship we don't want him to live the dream of our's.
But does that really matters; is it always necessary to sacrifice your friends in the line of competition; or isn't there is another way of achieving the same. Is that necessary to satisfy yourself with the lesser or change your path if you don't achieve your first goal of your life. Is that is life, where after betrayal and loss, you would change your path.
Don't know about others, but i don't think so. Life is there for me after every betrayal and after every loss. Emotions, friends, success and failure all are part of my life. But i would chose friends and losses for my life ....because they are the only who inspire me.
