Life & Week Days

Friends,

Days are same, sunlight is also same but some how,the afternoon of Sunday is always different. Sunday afternoon gives the luxury of day sleep, dull mood, more eating and so on. No other day offer these characteristics. No other afternoon is so long . Most of the houses are closed , very few phone calls and people don't prefer to be disturbed. I always feel the Sunday afternoon more hot or cold than any other day, more lethargic, full of laziness. If we move out on such day, the streets would be completely deserted. Even shops are closed and rarely any body would be on the road, be to rich or poor.

While analysing the seven days of a week, I noticed every day has some different characteristic. Like evenings of Saturday , morning of Monday etc. In same manner if we analyse our life, all these days explain everything, our life starts from Monday morning I.e. birth and ends on Sunday night I.e. old age. Our activities, relationships, love, affection, priorities, friends, society every thing changes with every passage of day and we can easily notice which day of the week are passing. It is Sunday afternoon which provides rest, dullness and lot of care. Of course no body would like to be on Sunday afternoon in life but this is fact and can't be changed. We had started day of life on Monday when we got lot of caring, love and affection. The same day can't continue, if it stops, how new day would come. Whatever be the day of life, we should always enjoy that , because movement is life and every movement of the day gives lot of learning, experience. Way to enjoyment may be different but every day should be enjoyed fully before we really approach  to Sunday evening of life .never repent about the days of life, if we gave enjoyed the same to its fullest , every day of life would be wonderful for us .

Hope every one celebrated Holi today. Holi festival is coinciding with end of financial year and exams of the children.While relaxing at home today I was thinking about the way people do business and get success. While recollecting the memories,  I noticed various characteristics of entrepreneurs like ;

i. Some take risks and some avoid it.
Ii. Some borrow hugely and some don't like to borrow to avoid tensions.
iii. Some expand globally and some are satisfied with whatever they are doing .
iv. Some try to go beyond the control and some keep every thing in control.
v.  Some let the things happen on its own, delegate the powers and some tightly stick to that .
vi. Some wait for the right time, which never comes and some don't think about the timing .
vii. Some jump into new areas of business and some don't even move an inch in the existing business.

There may be large number of such characters of an entrepreneur . It depends on their attitudes, capability, expertise and so on. What is most important is how they view this world. In fact all kind of people are right in their own views and no one can be proved wrong. Those who run may fall some day, and those who don't may not grow beyond a point. Those who fall may be cursed and proved wrong, and those who don't grow may be blamed for wasting time. No one knows the future and no one can be always right. Then what is the best option for an entrepreneur should  he move forward, should  he wait for the right time , should he not take any risk or should he not dream? There is no standard answer to all these questions and that is the reason that life of every entrepreneur goes on trial and error basis. If he gets success , he is branded with good luck and if not then with bad intentions. That is the reality of this world and I believe an entrepreneur should go ahead with taking risk, expanding, entering into new arenas without caring much about this world or what people would say.

Happy Holi

Friends

Wish you all a very happy and colourful Holi. This is the unique festival where communication is done through colors, informality, humbleness, forgiveness and equality. Once all coloured the differences wipe out. All look same and equal , no difference in caste, creed, status and so on. All behave in same way. In most of the cases, we hug each other and then only during this festival we again hug friends. What a surprise that rarely there is any other occasion when we repeat this with friends. We go to friends' house in the most unusable clothes which would not be reused again . Do we behave in this manner on any other day ? This is the day when we don't care about clothing, formality and look. The  most important feature of this day is that it gives opportunity to forget and forgive the past, burying the past grudges and bad hurt feelings  with in ourself and live life afresh. All the festivals of we Hindus carry unique messages and customs. We get he message they these festivals only and that is the reason that since centuries, we give more importance to dharma , Vedas and shastras.

Friends,
Some quotes representing frustration, depression or low confidence:
1. Bhagya se jyaada and samay se pehle kuchh nahi milta;
2. Jo likha hai vo hi hoga;
3. Insaan apna bhagya likha ke lata hai;
4. Jo apne bhagya mai nahi hai vo kisi bhi haal mai nahi milega;
5. Jitni lambi chadar utne hi pav pasarne chahiye;

All the above quotes are very effective tool to prove oneself right otherwise how would one save himself from the blame of failure or non performance?

Now let us change the above quotes with positive attitude;
1. Insaan apna bhagya pane karmo se khud banana hai. Jab yeh nahi malum ki bhagya mai kya likha hai to aisa kaise ho sakta hai?
2. Jab likha hula malum nahi to aisa kahna bhi to galat hai.
3. Insaan bhagya Khud likhta hai;
4. Jab bhagya khud likhna hai to kuchh bhi likh lo.
5. Agar pav bade Karna chahte ho to chadar bhi lambi kar sakte ho.

"Kisi ka Daman pakad ke chale to kya chale, achha hota kisi ko apna sahara deke gir jate. ( what if you have walk with support of some one, better to fall while giving your support).
The thought just cropped in my mind and I made it a shayari.

Suddenly there is vacuum at home. Just few hours back we were 5 in numbers, yesterday 6 and day before 7. For couple of days, both kids and guests descended and all went back. Nothing is static in this world and this includes the life too. The moment kids' arrival plans are finalised we get excited and then wait for that moment to come and suddenly they come and go back and so it converts into history.

Month of  March has peculiar character of final month for study and economy and hence all are busy and tensed too. Most of the people are busy and doing everything to achieve the targets set for the completing year. Soon this phase would end and new year would start and every thing fresh would be in place.

Yesterday I was in Chennai. The visit was very hectic and bit uncomfortable too. The timings of the flight were quite odd. Morning at 5.50 and evening at 8 ( that too hopping ). So practically it takes more than 20 hrs of travelling and almost 22 hours' activity. Chennai is a very good place in terms of professional potential but the language barrier, cultural differences clearly reflect on the Business. The city is though metro but the traffic culture is not better than Ahmedabad. Also the taxi services are not very matured and probably needs lot of up gradation. Still Chennai along with Bangalore and Hyderabad offer great business opportunities. 

The efforts we made in any thing be it study or profession don't always give the desired results. May be some times even the failure. The frustration resulting out of this failure is always painful. We plan, put efforts, risk lot of resources and then the absence of desired results cause severe pain. The best cure for such situation is patience, maturity and positive attitude which not only helps in recovering but also gives energy to move further. Success comes to those who keep going in all situations without looking at failure. It is not important how many times we are successful, more important is how many failures we have handled and how many more we are ready to handle. Although It is easy to say and hard to act upon, but we have to forget the failure and move forward. That is the reason that attitude is more important than knowledge. Knowledge can be bought but not attitude. Knowledge can be out sourced but attitude can not be out sourced. Attitude decides destiny.

Friends,

Last month of financial year 2012-13 is progressing and soon this too would be over. We professionals and businessmen would analyse the performance individually in our own way and may or may not be satisfied with the performance. Then we would set new targets and do every thing to achieve that in coming year 2013-14. Other side this month is giving tough time to students as almost all the students of the country are busy in exams. These days hotels, theatres and other entertainment areas are almost vacant and we can see the impact of ongoing exams .

During childhood, I used to look at all the passing vehicles and dream of the best. My first vehicle was a cycle given by my father when I joined CA course in 1981 and now my favourite four wheeler  in 2013. I am happy to get this which is really a dream come true. In these 32 years, I got many vehicles and gradually graduated to this stage. I never meant to boast my self and please forgive me if sounds so.Although it may sound bit exaggerated but the purpose to mention is motivate all the friends who are studying or struggling in career to just wait and focus on their areas of activities. Soon the result would come. Sometimes when we get disheartened, we try to leave the efforts, but I believe, the success is very near to that stage. Do whatever comes to your way with full dedication and efficiency. Don't look at the peers or other persons , never compare your self , just set targets, be humble , and believe in your self .  Only slightly more efforts are needed to get success. Some of the quotes I wish to share :

1. In bad time even lord Ram could not get any help from his army, friends, relatives or even humans, he did not leave the efforts and got the help from monkeys, Bears, etc. so don't worry if you feel hat your own relatives, friends or known people are not supporting , definitely some one is going to support you.

2. Life is like and day and night and hence if the good time could not last long, bad time too would not. If it is day, night would come and if you feel passing thru the dark, day would soon come. So don't worry time would not remain same forever.
