Yadoo

Samet laye hai yadoo ko apne sang. Khatte, Mithe yadaain.
Reh zainge Zindgi bhar dil ke kisi kone mae.

Kitna kuch to hai zindgi me hamare, kitne panno ko hum yadoo se sanjo rakhte hai. Hum zee zate hai in yadoo ke sahare.

Ek alag galiyare me kilkari karte hue masoom ke maafik bhatakte rehte hai hum in yadoo ki gali mae.

Kal to kal tha, kal ne hame kuch phir bhi diya. Ache yadoo ke sahare kitno ne zindgi ji le.

actions

We take some actions in an instant. We don’t think about the repercussions of it in the future. We go with the flow. Not always, it ends up as desired. In some cases, it leaves a scar that takes ages to heal. We get into doubt and self-questioning, cursing ourselves.

What is right or wrong, nobody knows. It is our act. We have to stand by it.

trust

Trust comes with an unconditional belief that the actor involved will take care of us in good faith. It can be your partner, employer, customer, mentor, or client.

Once we get into doubt or question our alliance, we are doomed for distress. If we trust someone, we should trust unconditionally. There is no middle ground or need for a constant check.

Instant

It’s an instant world: coffee, noodles, hookups, or job switch. Instant is turning out to be the virtue of this era. We are aspiring towards becoming rich as soon as possible. We want to be respected, loved, and become successful in a shorter span of our careers or life.

It took me some time to realise that things take time. To build a life or a masterpiece requires an enormous amount of grit, perseverance, and hard work.

reasons

Some of us end up digging the grave for all our misfortunes or success. The time goes more on finding reasons rather than celebrating our success. Human nature is conditioned in such a way that it always looks for a reason.

Imagine how many hours or part of our life we would have saved by working or living beyond finding reasons.

Yaadon

Yaadon ka kya kare, ache ya buri, jo bhi sahi. Zindagi ke guzre hue panno ka kya kare, ache ya bure hi sahi. 

Ab ke zine me jo maza hai, ab ke zindgi me karne ko itna kuch pada hai.

Kyun jana baar baar yadoo ke galiyare me. Kyun jana, dafan hona bite hue zindgi ke lamho me.

Kitna kuch to hai karne ko abhi, kitna lamha to hai jine ko abhi. Kyun le zana wapas khud ko yadoo ke samabaar me. Kyun hai khona hame yadoo ke bawandaar me.

Hum abb mae jite hai zindagi  ko zinda dili se. Guzre hue waqt me zake kyun bahaye aansoo.  

don’t

There is an unsaid rule of communication. If you have nothing good to add, say or suggest in any conversation. Just don’t say anything. It saves a lot of your time, brain neurons and puts you in a neutral zone.

In the end, there is no right or wrong. It is all about the side of the coin you are cheering for.

Will it not make us a hypocrite? I don’t know and don’t care.

Our life on this planet is limited. We should better spend on things to which or where we can add value and effort to. Not where we have to shove our opinions, most of the time uncalled for.

I was talking to Arun this came up.

software

We are living in a software economy. There is an app for everything from birth records to death, from groceries to cigarettes. Getting a loan via a mobile app or buying something online is simple now.

The revolution has created jobs for many and bought many families out of poverty. Every Indian can aspire to build software sitting remote and selling it globally.

The telecommunication advancement and internet penetration have created a level playing field.

Isn’t it magical and incredible? Who would have imagined this 20-25 years back?

around

Sometimes in our life and business, we need people around to comfort us. Just the assurance of theirs: “I am here for you” does a miracle.

I have been lucky to have people who stood by me in my personal and professional life to see me growing. I feel like no money and wealth can buy this. I might have gotten lucky to have those believers.

journey

As a founder, life is no different than running a ship in uncharted territory. The help of team members makes the journey meaningful. Outsiders with no skin in the game have too many opinions. It can be social media experts or journalists, media houses. They see the effort or outcome from a biased and blurry lens.

Who controls and commands the ship? Is it not the captain and crewmen? How much will they worry about the prediction outside?

The elements which constitute the startup journey are team, product, and customers. As long as they are in sync, most other parts become easy.
