Imagination drives us to build a castle in thin air. It pushes us to work harder and seek the unachievable.
Our imagination enables us to leave our daily chores and fantasize about travel, food, falling in love, or becoming a billionaire.
Our imagination gives purpose to our life. It makes us more creative, frees us from boredom, and alleviates our pain. At the same time, it enhances our pleasure.
Waqt aur zindgi ka kya hai rista?
Ek Suee-Dhage ke mafik smajhliziye.
Waqt agar tili hai to zindgi ek chingari.
Hamae waqt me hum khud ke ho zate hai aur be-waqt hum zindgi auro ko kiye dete hai.
Heer-Ranjha, Laila-Majnu, Romeo-Juliet nae apne waqt ko auro ke zindgi me kar diya fana. Is waqt hum yaar to karte hai unhe, kasme khate hai unke naam ki.
Is waqt kae chakachaund me andhe hue za rahe hai hum, ziye za rahe hai zindgi ko bekhabar.
Khoya kya hai humne iss waqt ke siva?
Ye Daulat, Sohrat, Ishq aur rushwaiyaa waqt ka hissa he to hai.
Aaz waqt ke saath hum the, hum waqt ke ho liye. Kal hum waqt se fana huye ek aur duniya ko chale zainge.
Ye waqt he hai jo hai is zindgi ka. Aur waise bhi hai kya apna?
Hum zamane ki zanzerro me aise ghut zate hai ki waqt hota he nahi hai khd ke liye.
Waqt kisi ki mohtaaz thore he hai, jo chandd sikko pe khareed liya, ye to kismat ke likhe samaay ka lekha jokha hai.
Apne waqt ko zisne kiya barbaad, hoga kaise wo iss duniya me aabaad?
We are all lost with deep desires to be someone or mark a dent in the universe. Many of us disappeared into the darkness & given up our life. They consumed alcohol, took psychotropic substances, or committed suicide.
Externalities fuel our wants.
We are no more ourselves.
We are lost in the consumerism era, which will live forever.
We have everything.
We have nothing.
Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography talks about his vice/virtue list. It has been a transformation for me in the last six years.
My list of virtue list has controlled eating and avoiding meat, sugar, wheat, and milk. I have monthly notes pinned on my room which list dates I missed my eating habits.
Has anyone else done a similar experiment? What has been the outcome?
Polaroid, Blockbuster, and Kodak have a few things in common:
Companies and management get lazy and don’t see the future because they have a cash cow present. They don’t want to innovate or disrupt it. As a result, they die when a new innovator comes.
A recent example is cloud computing: amazon kept building infrastructure, and folks from HP/DELL kept disregarding it because they were making money from the hardware. They were not interested in killing the cash cow.
As time progressed, the cloud became defacto, and even Microsoft and Google jumped on the bandwagon. Who needs hardware when they can spin servers for a few dollars on the cloud?
A founder not to get settled on a product line but to keep innovating and expanding, sensing the mood. It takes less time to get disrupted by a new innovator.
Apne ek pehchaan liye bhatak rahe hai dar badar. Auroo me khud ko talashne ki ek aadat se jo ban padi hai zindgi. Sab me apno ko he dhunde lag gaye hai.
Apni pehchaan ke khatir kya se kya na bann gaye. Kal jo the aaz na rahe, waqt ke saath khud ko badal zo liya. Mel-Jol aise bana li humne sukh-dukh ke saath he pehchaan sae hum gumm ho liye.
Apne chahat ko liye aise bhatak rahe hai hum ki koi pysaa paani ke liye taras raha ho zaise,kuan to hai lekin rassi nai jo paani mil sake. Apni pehchaan liye pyaasa he fana ho zaiga sayad.
Apne aap ke liye kya kiya, apne pehchaan ne khud kya diya? Ek din mitti me milne kae baad kya raja, kya rank aur kiski kya pehchaan?
India’s future growth depends on creating impactful software product companies. The ones which can go head-on with the companies from the US and China, be it in cutting-edge research in the areas of environmental research or space tech or software products.
India will soon become the most populous country. It also means we can be our big consumers. We export and pay extra in Technology imports from the west and China.
As China is a global manufacturing hub, we have become a service hub. Most public limited companies like TCS, Wipro, and Infosys play on USD/INR arbitrage in generating revenue. In the short term, it has created lots of jobs and prosperity. How long will it continue? Unless the west finds another cheap support hub? Costa Rica and some African nations are already entering the space and cutting us on price.
India’s innovation depends on the shoulder. We should start innovating and stop complaining about what we don’t have.
I asked folks on Twitter about India’s FAANG equivalent. I got some funny and interesting answers.
In Score takes care of itself, the author talks about success disease, our inward tendency to become complacent after a big win. Winning or losing is part and parcel of the game or sales cycle. If we over-celebrate or become arrogant after winning and change ourselves or how we see ourselves, it will affect us in the future.
Success is winning, again and again, keeping performance at peak, and having all cylinders fired up in all scenarios. We should not change our personality because success has come our way, but continue striving and working hard to maintain the pace.
I was supposed to join a super-experienced mentor of mine for lunch. I could not reach on time, and the meeting got called off. It was painful and sad. It also made me realize how important time is and being punctual.
Show up early is one virtue am striving for now.
