Springs are sure for every fall!

I want to conquer me,

Free to face me naked

Under layers of blackest skin

I am struggling to peel off

The truth is dirty and I hide away,

I shy to the shadow, it doesn’t sway,

It doesn’t go at all.

Like an autumn tree I have shed all

Shameless in cold am standing small

I need guts to face my fall,

And I‘ll have guts to stand back tall!

As springs are sure for every fall!!

As springs are sure for every fall!!

I’ll will also stand up tall!

Good luck n cheers!

Keep dreaming, Keep living! I say

Chk this new one from me..

Time is difficult and horizon's diminishing,
The strength to my struggle is vanishing..
Keep dreaming, keep dreaming! I say

Slipping from my fist is the sand of hope,
The cruel eagle of fate is cutting all my ropes..
Keep dreaming,keep flying! I say

The waves are there to take me away,
And the sand too slippery to help him make his way..
Keep dreaming keep swimming! I say

Broken arrows can pierce no board,
And shallow hearts can stand no sword..
Life is yours and only once,
Give it back and it will bounce!

Keep dreaming, Keep living! I say

MBA -style over substance

Sorry to hurt sentiments of many but I genuinely feel that MBA is highly overated in India and for that matter we just dont add much value to anything ,but are masters in bluffing or beating around the bush.

I am connected!

“I am connected”

99 friends on my orkut list,
Friends that are not so much friends,
350 mails on yahoo lying, unchecked, unread,
Friends at the speed of 14 kbps,
Fast forward friendship,
Friends of friends, Uganda friends,
Uganda I will never go.

Google is my God,
Thousands visit it every day,
Other Gods can’t compete,
Their temple is too small, too small.

An empty cup of coffee, besides my lappy,
Waiting, waiting, don’t worry,
It will be full again.

A full cup of coffee, besides my lappy,
Waiting, waiting, don’t worry,
It will be empty again.

A hand moves, my cup moves,
My lips move, but my eyes don’t move.
My eyes are booked, my soul is booked,
My face is booked to Facebook.

To know how to Know!!

The world is filled with strange things, strange people and strange facts . Human beings right from the primitive times are inquisitive and curious by nature .In fact that is the cause of our existence,needless to mention about the incuriousity of Adam and Eve.

So above all materialistic things on earth the most crucial thing is access to information and application of such an information.

The point what i am trying to make is that its an art to get access to the right information ,through the right channel in the fastest possible way. Intelligent people call it "reading between the lines".

Typically to get an address map of a new location through google one has to navigate approximately 50 times or confirm to around 10-15 passers or auto drivers.To get information about real estate talk to agents, neighbours etc -typically a month long process. To learn a new job one needs to consult reluctant seniors or fetch info from ignorant juniors or read manuals or go through websites etc.There is nothing like "information available readily like a toothpaste or a toy.Information is not a commodity because it lies within people's brain.



So according to me the most difficult task of our times is to learn that tacit knowledge as it involves people. Tacit knowledge is khajana, that's the wealth of the day because it is stored with humans who would act secretive about it obviously because his/her importance is linked with it. We generally need each to feel important. A mother-in-law will never teach her secret recipe to dauther- in-law and a boss will not teach everything to his staff as they are insecured about overpowering.Information gone means importance gone.



Mantra here is social networking , diplomacy and relationship building. Try that out and tell me if that works for you as well.

Just a thought by,

Learnings from Kabir

What if we did not have a business ethics class in the way in which it was conducted? How has my life changed after that? Business ethics class gave me what we call in hindi “jhatka”. It was a great value addition in my life. It made me aware about what I was and what I wanted in my life. I was living in a very superficial world and all my feeling were at the surface levels only. It helped me to discover my inner conscious. It helped me to be aware of my thought processes, to be aware of my breath and to be alert and vigilant despite being calm and serene inside.

Kabir taught me to look beyond barriers of caste into a world which is full of humanity. God is present everywhere and falling in love with him makes you love everybody, to be good to everybody, to love unconditionally, to appreciate his creation and to remain in harmony with everybody. The “dohas” focused on becoming practical in life. A simple step to being closer to God is by following a suitable “Guru”. Guru helps to give clarity to this journey of life.

As a person grows, he is conditioned to think in narrow terms of status, caste, and social barriers. Kabir taught me to think in terms of human index and not money or caste index.

He emphasized on not following superstitions and questioning all human barriers or fences. He taught to see people above greed, comparisons, envy, distrust and jealousy .It is really difficult for us to introspect because we are already looking at it from “our point of view” to have a birds eye opinion or from a third person’s point of view is seriously difficult.

The narration described learning from mother nature. Peace and harmony is the very basis of nature. As a bird needs no reason to be joyful similarly no material things could provide a permanent joy. Permanent bliss is state developed from within. I learned not to grudge about the past, nor be bothered about the future but to live in the present moment and be happy. The experience of the moment is dynamic, creative yet very quiet. Now I aim for accepting life in this alert watchfulness state. . I want to feel free from within, without any inner conflicts or ego domination yet be in full awake. This is my desired state . Thank you for showing me this way!!
