“Understanding is a two-way street. Understand your inner-self and the outer-world will understand you, both being equal in size”.

 I finally completed “How I braved Anu aunty and co-founded a million dollar company” by Mr. Varun Agarwal. This is undoubtedly a book a person wanting to start a company should read. The author has been successful in teaching the reader about the staircase of a start-up. Every time you go against the gravity and try to move up, gravity (laziness and fear) along with the external forces (negativity) tries to pull you back.

He has explicated every step from the birth of the company to it speaking all over the world, with a massive sense of humour .It is one of those books which makes the readers stick themselves to one place thoughtlessly and compete the book without realizing a tick of a clock. The chapter name “Get busy living” is so much pertinent at this speck of time and it has come to my realization that 24 hours is extraordinarily long only if you believe that you live every minute with a purpose. I have realized how important each and every second is and you can change the world within you in a day!

I couldn’t believe I finished 100 pages in 2 hours. Well, that’s huge for a person who doesn’t sit in a place for more than 20 minutes. Firstly, it teaches one a great level of patience .secondly, instilling in a belief that a task can be completed within a day or few hours and all one needs is some determination. Thirdly, it really improves communication skills and impulsively I started using new worlds. Fourthly, it gives me confidence to speak up and express my views in a pleasant way.

At this point, my blog is viewed by 873 people out of which 663 are viewed by foreign countries and I feel so happy and I hope to improve my blogging and serve as a inspiration to many people across the world.

“A busy day loaded with lot of work, yet infinite time is spend in appreciating the beauty of every single thing like each one is your only obsession”

Below is a video I watched recently describing about how reading books can change ones life.

RUN, becasue you CAN!

“The men who have succeeded are the ones who have chosen one line and stuck on it”

I read from page 28 to page 100 today. The story now sets into his start-up finally starting up. Varun along with his friend visit Tirupur-the T-shirt capital of India and finally establishes a deal with the shop-keeper and agrees to pay him once he receives the samples. Here they were, on the brink of a major decision. If they told him “yes”, they stood a chance of losing 4lahk and if they told ”no”, they went back to their insignificant lives. The shop-keeper dint seem interested but like their enthusiasm. On their way back, they thought of 2 names ”lemontee” and “backbenchers” .in between, he clearly quotes that the aunties of India have mastered the fine art of negotiation with the vegetable sellers and greatest MBA schools can learn the tricks of trade from them. The thought provoking and hearty inspiring sentences were:”if you’re so desperate for a job, then create one. If everyone foolishly limits himself to a single line of track and border himself with walls, then how is this country going to have any entrepreneurs.” They decide to sell their samples in the alumnus of bishop cottons boys’ school and sell over 500 pullovers and decide to change their company name to “the alma mater” to make it sound professional. They then set up e-commerce to spread their company far and wide. Meanwhile, he attends the interview set up by Anu aunty just to ensure his mother isn’t hurt.

“Depression is the inability to construct future whereas Enthusiasm is the supreme luxury of a better future”. You and only you govern your life and the first and the best victory is to conquer self. There is absolutely no upshot by mere sulking, cribbing and being depressed. If you want some changes, then be the change you want to see in the world. Victory is the sweetest when you have known defeat and a man may learn wisdom even from a foe. It’s important to be positive and not let the anger or the grief have power over you. Here I would like to quote a sentence from the book “The alchemist” by Paulo Coelho ;”If you aim to do something with you full heart, then the whole universe conspires into making it happen”

When you know it’s the right time, it’s the angel inside you that’s whispering and the angel is never wrong because it’s born only when you are certain you are doing the right thing. So go for it!”

The video I found in youtube about Marissa Mayer impressed me more. And for those of you who are reading this, please do go and check about Marissa on youtube.

She told in one of the interviews that when all her friends chose to go for modeling, she wanted to do something different, explore new things and wanted to achieve greatness and she thanks herself for taking that initiative to deviate from modeling and go into the technical field.

What I learnt out of this is that you are never too young, nor too old to achieve something. She is a technocrat which is something I aspire to be and one of my role models.Be brave to be different.believe in yourself

“If not now!. Then when?”

Thank you Shwetha(my sister) for asking me to read about this wonderful women.

Mark zuckerberg

“who is not on facebook?And the whole crowd starts laughing”

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is the founder and CEO of Facebook . well, who doesn’t know mark? He created facebook along with his roommate during his studies in Harvard University and after many controversies facebook was finally his!.He had always been fond of computer since his childhood and created “Zucknet” when he was in his school wherein neighboring houses could communicate .mark’s father once said “when others were playing games, he was creating one”. He was interested in literature, poetry and psychology. He dropped out of Harvard once he developed facebook and is the youngest billionaire. He knows many languages (communication and also programming).the movie “The Social Network” was made on mark and the world then came to know that truth behind the whole making of facebook.

I also saw the documentary on facebook by the discovery channel and the next one by the history channel and there they have clearly shown about his controversies, how he overcame them,facebook cool workplace, and his pure love for the poets!

The change from orkut to facebook was the biggest turning point in the revolution and we are now in the “facebook era”. Facebook is still the number 1 social networking site because they keep upgrading it and add more features into it making it additive to the users. Today, it is the place where a lot of competitions are held, networking skills are tested, and start-ups have originated only from marketing in facebook. It is in a state where any company that exists for real should exist virtually through facebook too. It not only acts as social networking sites for friends, but also as a business site. There are experts who guide only on how to market company well in facebook, manage the page and update it!.

If you have to make it the best, then never stop working on it!

Hectic Day! ah!

“When you start to love yourself, the world around you starts loving you”.

Today I had a very tough lab internals-“microprocessor”. I was lucky to get the first program .and my internal marks was revealed and I stand number 1 currently am going to ensure I remain in this position even for the external exam.

Last night there was too much workload. I had to meet with the LI2 company deadlines (work on raspberry pie) for which I worked from 5 to 10, write about the novel I read from 10 to 11, blog about yesterday’s activities which I wrote from 11 to 12, finish up editing of college newspaper which I did from 12 to 2.I slept after that and I woke up at 5 and studied for my microprocessor lab internals. Last night I read only 25 pages of Varun Agarwal’s “How I braved Anu Aunty and co-founded a million dollar company” and I apologize for that. I am going to promise you that I will finish reading the book tonight and start with the other 2 tomorrow. 

Today I read in Wikipedia about

1)Mark Zuckerberg,founder of Facebook

2)Marissa Mayer,CEO of Yahoo

3)David karp,founder of Tumblr

All of them are super achievers in their fields and are highly passionate about their work.

Smile a lot.It will shoo away the pain!.
