Today I took a journey back in time Followed the footprints we leave in life The trip took me back all the way Day by Day to the day we met Our footprints were always side by side Never forcing its prints on the other’s face I saw our life, with its share of showers That left some prints washed off and unclear Some prints, … Continue reading Foot Prints of Life
‘The White Tiger’ by Aravind Adiga, you will love it if you like some dark humor. The Indian english novels are quite interesting and gives a whole different perspective. And here Aravind showcases a man’s quest to break off from his current existence and how he self analyses and defends all what he does how ever bad and brutal it is. The author is able to guide you perfectly through the mind of a guy whom you finally confuse to relate as an entrepreneur, victim, murderer or opportunist
Also had a chance to finish Rashmi Bansal’s “Stay Hungry Stay Foolish” which talks about 25 IIM graduates who got into business, some by planning for it, some accidentally. More that the individual journeys what is interesting is each person’s advice to entrepreneurs.
“Dad, what is sustainability?” She lifted her head from the book she was reading and looked at him.
“It is kind of complex and tough to understand” He said.

He looked at the book. It was like any other usual kids book and it had a picture of earth and an article on how to take the first step on saving the planet. He went through it and he could understand what made his girl ask the question. There were more words in it than what her vocabulary and probably his too had not been equipped for.
He gave back the book to her and looked at her
“Transparency is not about seeing through something, it is all about they seeing through you”
The concept of transparency has become even more important in the current digital age. When you talk about transparency the first thing that comes into many minds is a glass or a tracing paper. This is quite true but holds only one side of the story, the story when we look into something.
But in new age the world looks into you. You are the transparent being, The social media in a way is a large eye or a array of a million eyes all staring at you, straight into you. And what do they see? They see everything that you say and they can parse through your words and view your actions.
You are in short stripped naked in front of the world.
Wake me! Oh! Night’s silent breeze From the clutches of this eternal sleep I wish to feel every moment Brighten me! Oh! sky’s beaming stars Let not the darkness tread any more deep I wish to see more Punish me! Oh! world’s ethic masters Before my sins change the world order I wish to repent Today Bury me! Oh! mythical undertaker Before the vultures can … Continue reading I Wish…..
