One day a man was walking along the beach of the sea when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”
The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
“Son,” the man said, “Don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and lacks of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, "Look, I made a difference.”
In our society we have a lot to do. From Poverty to illiteracy, in-discipline, crime, hunger, corruption, region-partiality, language-partiality and many others. We are thinking about miles of beach and not acting because of that. But remember we always can make a difference.
Act On!

Way to do business
A good case study I have observed in the era of dot com boom and fallouts in the year 2000. That was the time when dot coms or online companies/ websites had been seen as the best business in the history and the only way to become millionaire or billionaire in lesser than the less time. New web based companies were popping out on daily bases. Many of them were going to public offerings. Had raised millions of dollars from stock market. Spent a lot on marketing, brand promotion, state of the art infrastructure, huge returns and biggest perks. But all of them closed down in their childhood only. Some of them were quite older as well.
Very few of them got survived during that like Google. Why?
I have another question to ask. What particular things you are missing which those closed down companies were offering? Take ask jeevs or alta vista or any other. All of them did same mistake. Were focusing on all things accept their services. None of them invested enough in technology, innovation, evaluation, developments, and good staffing. They had websites but not good things to serve.
Always focus first on your customers, offerings and technologies.

Move Ahead - Go Ahead - The Hindu Philosophy
Once upon a time there was a tree-cutter in a small village. He was used to go to the forest every day and cut the trees to earn his bread and butter. This way he was trying to manage his very simple living. But few of the times he was not getting enough to feed his family.
Once he met to a saint, while wondering the forest for some better trees to cut. Saint asked about his who and how about and suggested him to go ahead of his regular tree cutting area where he has been cutting the tree for years. He accepted the holy saint’s suggestion and went far ahead on the route. And that was the miracle, he found few sandal trees. The tree cutter was very happy seeing this as sandal is a very costly wood. He cut few of the branches and bought them to the village to sell it. He earned a nice food and some extra money that day. He was very happy. Few years went nicely like this. One day, he again found the same saint in the forest and he expressed his gratitude towards the saint. Saint was also happy seeing happiness on face of the man who was struggling for daily food once upon. But saint also urged him to go few more miles ahead from his routine area.
The three cutter followed the advice and went far ahead of his safety zone. And that day he found mines of copper and aluminum. He was more than happy that day. He left the tree cutting job and started his own business based on these Metals. He was now a well to do person of the village. Once again the same saint asked him to go ahead of the area and the person found mines of silver. After few years he got a similar message of moving ahead and got mines of gold and lastly diamonds.
The man was now an old aged super rich tycoon. He was treated like a king and had enough wealth and fame.
Once again during his journey, he met the holy saint. Saint again advised the same practice “Go Ahead” and the man followed the same. After crossing his rich areas of gold and diamonds, he again found the jungle but nothing else. The man came back to the saint and complained what he found. Saint replied that is the ultimate destiny for you my dear child.
Once you had enough time to play when you were a small child. When you were a young man, and a family head, your sole responsibility or “Dharma” was to earn for you, your partner, your children and for the society even. So I guided you accordingly. You followed my advice and worked hard to reach the place where you are at present. Now you are an old age person and your dharma or responsibility cycle is again turning the wheel. I suggest now you put the earning responsibilities on the shoulders of your children and take enough rest. Let your body, mind and soul enough peace. Spend your remaining years in peaceful and divine manner under the blessings of God and let yourself enjoy the peace and calm of old age as like you enjoyed the fun and thrill of childhood and young age.
This is the Indian way or “Vaidik” way of living. The hindu philosophy never rejects, money, prosperity, wife, sex, fun, play, games, yoga, Dhyan or god. It always asks a person to accept all in perfect proportion and live your life with Full.

He was just best in his points and guided the team with the bases of Mahatma Gandhi’s principle of adjustments. He appealed the youth to make selves adjustable according to the circumstances which will help them grow higher and live the life better. He also highlighted the thoughts of simplicity.

My Friend Ganesha - Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the biggest festival of Hindu philosophy and India. Though an occasion of national celebration, Ganesh Chaturthi is being celebrated with extreme enthusiasm in the state of Maharashtra and other western region of the country. During the days of British rule in India, Balgangadhar Tilak (Lokmanya Tilak) revived this ancient celebration in current form. He transformed Ganesh chaturthi celebration into an occassion of public gathering and interest. People set lord Ganesha in a Mandap almost in every street and together to the lorad worship for 11 days from Ganesh Chaturthi to Ganesh Chaturdashi. People also bring the lord Ganesha in their homes during these days.
May lord Ganesh bless you all.

Build people before you build the product
In the Management, it has been said that “Build the People, Before you build the product”. Companies build great products or services, but don’t care to build the people to sell and backup them. And finally business fails.
I was searching for a mobile internet service, cheap and efficient. And an eye-catchy hoarding of Tata-Doccomo attracted me with mobile internet service at just 96 Rs per month. The speed and charges were ok to me. I purchased a new card. The vendor did not know how to configure the internet with that. I tried calling the customer care and got response from the executives after a wait of almost 7 minutes. But my time on the busy lines was in vein as the executive was not enough knowledgeable to guide me the configuration steps. First of my 3 day package (for which I paid) went that way. Next day I tried to configure it anyhow with my own limited knowledge and surfing something on internet. But the connection was not establishing. End of day 2. Next day again I tried many times to call the customer care as the local office of Tata-Doccomo always remains close. With a very sweet voice, he told me there is some difficulties and the service will be activated within 6 hours. Please don’t worry. But the 6 hours never ended. I lost my last day. I lost money without utilizing the service. Next day again I called the company and I got the same answer that service will be activated within 6 hours. Almost for 5 days I received the same answer which asked me to never worry as service was going to be activated in 6 hours only.
This is a small but practical case study for all those small entrepreneurs willing to crack the market of the established business conglomerates. Build People, Before you Build the Product.

Self Appraisal !!! Work culture and work attitude
A little boy went into a telephone booth, tried to reach the telephone by putting his feet on the bunch of milk cartons lying there. He picked the receiver, inserted the coin in the telephone and started dialing the phone number.
The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation between the boy and a lady who responded the phone at other end.
Boy: "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman: "I already have someone to cut my lawn."
Boy: "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now."
Woman: I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy: (with more perseverance) : "Lady, I'll even take care of you flower plants, will cut and maintain the shapes, pick the flowers and will give it to you. You will have the finest garden in the city."
Woman: No, thank you.
With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy.
Store Owner: "Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."
Boy: "No thanks”,
Store Owner: But you were really pleading for one.
Boy: No Sir, I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to! I was just checking my performance at the job I already have.
How many of us really have this attitude. This is the most uncommon thing in we all common men. This is what we call "Self Appraisal".

My mother, not me writes my blogs
I have not been able to publish any new post on this English blog almost for a month. I am not getting time to write the English posts these days. Till date my mother took care of every of my needs. But due to her age and health problems now she is not being able to do every of those things. So I started pressing my clothes myself and also try wherever I can be helpful to share her load. This takes a lot of time of mine and I am not being able to spare time to write the blog. So I feel not me but this is my mother who writes my blogs. Because she prepares food for me, washes my dishes, cleans my room, manages the maid who washes the cloths, and do many other tasks, so finally I get time to write my blogs, to read my favorite books and watch the movies.
Indeed I am very lucky that I got a birth in India where we have a strong base of family relationships. I believe no individual can achieve the success without love and support of a family. When a person become CEO of the a multinational organization, his wife might have washed and pressed his shining suite which he wear in the board meetings, his mother might have prepared healthy food for him, his sister might have prepared a cup of tea when he wanted to work till midnight, his brother might have bought the international newspapers from the neighbor shop, and his father might have adjusted with a cycle so his son can have a bike which saved his time to the way of tuitions. Almost for 30-40 years this person’s family saved his 3-5 hours a day like this and that is the reason why mister CEO earns lacks of Rupees per hour today.
Hates off to a family.
I will try to continue my blog posts now…..

Dr. C K Prahalad Passes away
It’s really one of the saddest day for me. Dr C K Prahalad passes away. I really still cant believe this. I don’t remember the exact day or month but it was a brilliant time for me when I mate him at IIM ahmedabad before 2-3 months. He delivered a lecture there. There are very few people who influences me and I must say he is one of them. Approximately before three years, I read one of his article (or interview may be) in a magazine from Wharton business school. It really gave me spark and suddenly charged my inner soul which was consistently looking for some outer motivations because of constant business failures. This article and than his book “Fortune at Bottom of Pyramid” really provided me the much needed thing. The thoughts. Whatever I am doing specially in terms of business innovations is really powered by his thoughts only. And I really want to follow his way of business practice. That may be my best homage to him.
Indies is recruiting more professionals
Its really a busy day. We are recruiting more staff. Indies has published advertisement in newspapers for new recruitment. And what to say…. I have a bunch of more than 80 resumes in front of me. Screened 30 of them and have been taking interview constantly since 11:00 in morning.
Can anyone help me?

Goal Setting
Excerpts of my recent lecture on “Goal Setting” delivered to young engineering graduates of an engineering college.
1) Planning and goal setting for a journey: we prepare a lot for a journey of 2 or 5 hours. But ever we prepare for this life long journey we have to accomplish? Do we ever check where we want to go? How to reach there? Who can be our companion for that? What will be the way? How long will it take? Normally answer is no…. here comes the goal setting.
2) Who is a good footballer? One who can run constantly around the ground for 1.5 hour with kicking the ball with him? Or one who shot it to the goal post in shortest possible time? We say healthy to first one but not successful. We must have some yardstick to measure the success one. That is the goal.
3) How the goal should be
a. Goal must be one which you want to achieve and not your parents etc.
b. Goal must be precise and specific
c. Set priorities
d. Set performance goals and not outcome goals
e. Set realistic goals
i. Unrealistic goals vs higher goals
f. A goal should be time bounded.
g. Never have Negative goal
h. Meaningless goal
4) Goal setting process: Top down approach of goal setting. Breakout your overall goal in smaller goals. Break them out to further levels till maximum possible level which finally will represent a time bounded task list. Finish each of these tasks successfully in specified time and you are the winner of your goal.
5) Balanced goal setting and failure cases
a. If you don’t stand for something you will fall for every thing
b. Our goals should have bases of dharm, arth, kaam, and moksha, the all four objectives a human being should achieve in his life span as per Indian mythology. Concentrating life on only one or two will end it up like a nightmare.

The Ram Bridge - A bridge developed by lord ram.
Before many thousand years (atleast 17000), when lord ram decided to attack Lanka (Current shreelanka) to defeat the evil ravan, the biggest problem was to crossover the sea which has a minimum distance of 32 kilometers at present.
As per the Epic, ramayan, Lord Ram constructed a bridge with help of his army. That bridge is known as Ram setu, setu samudram or Ram bridge. The bridge is now under the sea but not destryed fully. Here is the satelite map of the same.
I wish a bridge of humanity remains intact within heart of everone of us. I pray the same to Lord ram on his birthday today.

The Boxing Rule
In a match of Boxing, it is not of much importance who can hit more punches. But the important thing is who can face more hits of the opponents. Can you bare more and more punches? Can you stand up again after fallen down on the ground? Can you carry on your punching with blood running out the teeth? If you can, you are the winner.
In life as well, if you can fight for your goals against all the odds, you will achieve your targets at the end. Important thing is how long can you stand.

Let him fulfill your desires
Here is a story which I received from one of my good friend a few day ago.
Once a boy went to a shop with his mother for shopping regular households. The shop keeper looked at the small and sweet child and showed him a bottle full of chocolates.
He said 'Hey little master ..u can take these chocolates...
But the child didn't take. The shop keeper was surprised.. Such a small child he is and why is he not taking the chocolates from the bottle. Again he said take the sweets dear…. Whichever you like and how many you want, please take it.
Now the mother also heard that and said.. Take the chocolates dear.. Yet he didn't take... The shopkeeper seeing the child not taking the chocolates... He himself took the sweets and gave to the child. The child was happy to get two hands full of chocolates.
While returning home the Mother asked the child... Why didn't you take the chocolates, when the shop keeper told you to take?..
Child replies... Mom! My hands are very small and if I take the chocolates I can only take few.. But now you see when uncle gave with his big hands.... How many more chocolates I got!
Friends, sometime some situations depress us when we don’t get the desired results. But believe in god, he always do best with us. Instead of wasting our efforts on things not in our control, let him do the acts. When we try to get something we don’t know our capacity and needs, but when god gives, hi gives more beyond our expectations... More than what we can hold..!!

And have to do many other house hold tasks. Spending 3-4 hours a day for this. It has been going for last week and will go for next week as well.
:)
Ahhhh. Actually my mother is not available at home. So Home… Alone…
It’s really a nice experience. Let me tell you I have invented many new recipes during this. I am thinking for applying patent of the same. :)

Good Attitude Good Life - Power of Positive Attitude
Once upon a time few mesons were working on a construction project somewhere. The project was of constructing Taj Mahal. One day a passerby asked one of them, “what are you doing my dear friend?” “Just doing this kind of blood burning labor for this hungry stomach” he replied. The passerby person asked the same question to next meson. “Puting the bricks for wall”, his reply was. At last the person asked this same question again to third person. With a smile on his face meson replied “Constructing The Taj Mahal”.
Do you have any doubt the last meson would be happiest among all of them and he also would be a successful person one day?
Your attitude towards your work is as important as your skills and hard work. B++

About the Movie Rann and Movie Making
I have watched the movie Rann yesterday. A wonderful story told in marvelous way. Excellent acting by everyone including Ritesh Deshmukh!! And I must not say anything about Amitabh Bachchan and Paresh Raval. They are just legends. To praise them for their acting or to give them best actor or villain award is nothing but injustice to new comers as otherwise the letters will never get any chance. The core message of the film is very well told and touches the heart. It’s a different matter it may not be able to change the system at any level. Though movie is for class and not for mass, I recommend every of you. Just watch it.
I have been very much interested in films since my childhood. From very younger age, I have been dreaming to make films. In schools I did make a few but very successful plays as well. Though I can’t do technical functions, I desire to enter in the industry sooner or later as core business of Indies.

Energy Efficiency - Conserve your Energy
There is one golden rule in marshal arts. When the opponent hits, your first effort should not be to stop it but to avoid it. If you waste your energy to stop others’ efforts, you will not have enough energy to fight at last.
This is the law of energy efficiency for an human being. Conserve your energy. Talk less, understand more. Spend at least 10 minutes a day peacefully in a silent place. Within this deep silence, re-charge yourself. This kind of conserved energy will be very helpful to you in turbulent times.

Truth is after all Truth - Save a Girl Child
Amongst the thousand names of lord Vishnu, one is Naarayan. According to Sanskrit grammer the word naarayan is made of two words.
Naar + Aayan
Naar = the whole of consciousness, bunch of life-spirit, whole power of the world.
Aayan = to reside.
This means Naarayan is one in which whole power and consciousness of the world resides.
Great meaning. But I want to point one more great meaning within this. The first word in Naarayan is Naar.
Naar = the whole of consciousness, bunch of life-spirit, whole power of the world
Naar is also woman
Hence woman is one in which all power and consciousness resides.
Lord Krishna told in bhagwad Gita,
Kirti, Shree, Varkya, Narinaam
Shruti r Medha, Dhruti, Shkama
Means I am the Fame, Wealth, ability to speak, ability to listen, intelligence, patience, and forgiveness amongst the Women.
I never understand why Indian public worship goddesses, why they give such nice meanings even to the names, and why in this country only women have to struggle hopelessly to sustain their life.
Once in my lecture I have told that “People who kill the girl child, should never be allowed to get an entry in the temple of lord hanumaan. Hanumaan utilized his complete life for the betterment of life of Sita. If you remove Sita’s character from the life of Hanumaan, we never could know hanumaan. So people who don’t allow birthing a girl child should not come in front of hanumaan who saved a girl child as his life mission”. And I faced some resistance from very few people after this.
But truth is after all truth.
