Returned back to India on Saturday, 27Th Nov. morning after almost a week's stay in Singapore. The trip was very helpful professionally and it helped me a lot in understanding people around me and planing for the future. This country offers great business opportunity for every one who wish to burn himself for minimum period of two years. This was my second trip in last two years and I wish to travel this country more frequently if chance given. When ever we shower our happiness, become more humble it is taken as weakness and misused. The humble behaviour if seen as weakness develops more expectations and ultimately the tumors in relationship. It really needs great level of maturity to handle such situation.
On personal front NIkita came to Ahmedabad after completing her internship in Mumbai and now planning to go to Bangalore soon. Hitisha is still in Pune and may jump in soon.

This is my fourth day in Singapore and in these 4 days I have tried to meet as many people as possible. Tomorrow is the last day here and then by late afternoon I would return back to India. After 4 days, the information and suggestions are being processed in mind and may be by tomorrow it would start taking shape. In addition to the various professional meeting I got the opportunity to roam around the city and understand the culture, life style etc. People here are very cool and patient. They follow the rules strictly display highest level of civic discipline. Singapore is a developed country and it is a cosmopolitan city. One part of the city is called "Little India" which is densely occupied by people from Indian sub continent. This area has many temples, mosques, Arya Samaj office, lot of Indian, Pakistani and B'deshi restaurants and shops. But the area is not maintained properly. People don't follow the civic sense properly and even the taxi divers avoid coming to this area. One can easily feel the difference between this area and rest of the Singapore. The city is full of high rise buildings, Shopping Malls, Commercial spaces and residential properties. It is a great country worth living and doing business.

Day two at Singapore was equally interesting and exciting. The meetings with some people was very fruitful as far as the basic purpose of my visit is concerned. May be by the end of the trip I would get some idea about the business potential in this country. People advise and view on the basis of their experience. I have noticed many people are very good by heart, very honest and transparent but still they do not make the desired progress. Such people are very emotional and sensitive and they always tilt to one side to the maximum. This ultimately ends up with no gain and more loss. The business is of relationship which takes very long time to build and seconds to break. In my view the success mantra for any field lies in positive attitude and relationship.Knowledge can be borrowed but attitude can never be borrowed or lend.

Today morning landed on this country of opportunity. I was here about two years back too. The country inspires every visitor with its huge business potential and beautiful tourist places.
Singapore is a cosmopolitan city country with population of about 48 lacs (Lesser than Ahmedabad). It is a developed country with world's best infrastructure set up. It is rated amongst the best location for financial dealings. I have come along with Gaurang Acharya to get the feel of the place and find out if any thing can be explored in the field of our activity.
Meanwhile the office in Ahmedabad is completely shifted to new location and soon every thing would be settled.
Life is taking turn day by day and the decisions taken in past are now leading to the results which are combination of both positive and negative. The expectations and aspirations increase day by day irrespective to the performance. Probably this is what the business has in its store.

Dear Friends
During Diwali season, Gujaratis take holidays of about 10 days. It is just like curfew in the city as most of the people go out to their native places or to other places of touring. Finally from Monday, i.e. 15Th Nov., the city got back to normal.
New office at Ahmedabad has become partially operational now and soon it would be fully operational. New recruitment and activities would take place soon. I wish this development (shifting to new office) would take the business to new heights with blessings of all the friends and relatives.
Recently I finished the book " Ambani & Sons" by Hamish Macdonald. The book analyses the ways and means of Ambanis in doing business. It has given detailed information and analysis about Dhirubhai from the year of his birth till today. However, the book seems to be one sided only and criticises ambanis too much. It seems that the writer is biased about ambanis. Over all the book is worth reading for knowing about the ambanis, business atmosphere in the country, political atmosphere, corruption etc.

I wish every body a very happy Diwali and prosperous new year. One month is ling enough gap for not writing on blog. It should not happen but some house the lethargicness has developed in all spheres of life. IN last one month lot of events have taken place. 14th October was birthday of Shashi, then the great Gujarati festive season of Navratri then Dussehra and finally Diwali. This last one month also witnessed some exciting development in regard to our business. We did the pooja of new office at Ahmedabad on 10Th Nov. 2010, which in turn resulted into arrival of some very important guests for this purpose. This period put lot of pressure on me mentally and physically and kept me away from regularly updating on blog. Both kids came and went back to their respective locations (mumbai and pune for the present). Hitisha could not attend the pooja ceremony die to the exams going on and we all missed her too much. This is the life and most of the time we have to live this by missing some one very dear. I dont know why such situation arises but this is the fact of the life and we should accept as it is. Good thing was that this ceremony was blessed by my father, who could not come in earlier such occasion.
