The last common election was most interesting election I witness of. I'm not an expert in Political affairs, but this was news that the Indian election this time was fought like President election in US. The use of Social Marketing, Rallies, Posters, Advertises and use of Digital technology, like 3 D presence of leader in every small town was really amazing. One should appreciate the planning and ideas used in this election, crossing any party though. It was a huge impact on common man's mind and the Party who was ahead in such campaign, won that election. The side effect of that social media marketing is still high.
That was a time when I saw (including myself) were in word of war on social media to defend someone or attack someone without knowing the facts about anything. People were so frenzy in such act, many of them lost their old friend or respect from those whom they were debating. I was too got in such mess. Though, I was not a part of any party, nor have liked any party or person page on Facebook, have never followed any political personality on twitter, but still some of my friends who were/are socially following some party or personality, they thing I'm against them.
There was a time when Party members used to convince the people to join party or vote for party. The process was with human touch, understanding the background, party worker used to explain the voter, why he/she should join the party or vote for party. But nowadays party workers will enforce you to join them, by provoking you or by manipulating your thoughts. Either you are with them or against them. Why this is so Black and White, why can't a common man like me be in Gray area, where he will observe the leader and then decide to join or not. And in case I join any party or start following party, then I may loose my identity partially. Cause then I'm not deciding what should be on my social media page. This will be decide by party what to spread from my page. It might be against someone personally or against some other party or some comment or thought which I may or may not agree with.
Since last election, two or three people from my friend list are still following one party. I don't have any objection for that and I should not have any. Those who follow some party or any leader, don't understand at end of the day, all parties are equal, 'Hammam sab naage hote hain'. After all, party leaders or members are human and all human has their personal goal and/or hidden agenda. They talk to you, about you, though of you, till they achieve what they want. This is real talent of the Politician.
I understood this and have decided to not comment anything on Politics and Politician. There is very less acceptance in public if you have any opinion on politics. Even if you have any facts and evidence against one party leader and you put your opinion on public platform, there are more people to bulldoze you than support you. The problem is mind set of human. They see everything with same optic. 'Daal main kuch kala hain, are nahi 'Daal hi kali hain' and this will go endless. If I say a word against any popular leader, those who follow him will say 'ye to bik chuka hain, ye to usi party say hain and etc. Why I suppose to be with any other party to say against you? Can't I be from same party or fodder like you to raise a question or seek a clarification from leader? Or I have no any rights to ask? When someone from same party ask a question to their leader, instead giving straight and simple answer they will divert you to other question which will be more complicated and may be from other party. I tried this with one of my friend who follower of a political party, when I asked him about his leader wrong doing, he start blaming me that you are from XYZ party with many bad words, Then he start the debate by giving example from other party leaders and their issues, which I never asked him. By end of the conversion, he said 'You have sold yourself to that party and no rights to ask anything about the honest leader from my party'. I couldn't debate him anymore, and just gave him smile to stop debating. It's like 'Meri Kamiz usake Kamiz se safed hain, to main acchha hun'. Showing others are more culprit than you is worst mind set of human. Like I'm far better Pig in this dirty pit, than others.
My suggestion would be, don't patronize by these leader, keep your esteem alive. Your leader is human too and he may make a mistake and when he make a mistake, you tends to cover him or ignore him or some of you may defend him.
I'm not afraid of putting my opinion on any social media, but I'm a common man, I have sense of everything and I will react on my day, when it comes, that is on election day. Erupting on social media and being one of the Pig, is not for me. I am not interested to be one of the so called clean PIG who don't have self conciseness. Like every common man, I'm already disturb. I need some positive energy to face my problems and solve them. Talking negative for others or sharing some stupid allegation banners and blaming others will not help me to grow mentally.
I would better to keep away from Politics and commenting on Politics. Yes will react when there is time, when I get chance to put ink on my hand. Till then shut up...

Second book by her is as good as her first
Doing business doesn't just required any MBA certification from a reputed MBA school. Business is more like a habit of work and doing exactly what your mind says. There are many successful business personality around us, who had never attend any business school but they know what exactly they are doing to make their business successful. Taking startup to a level of Business is related to your gut feelings and risk taking appetite rather than just Luck.
'Connect The Dots' is book about 20 entrepreneurs, who never been to any MBA school to understand the business, yet they are successful in their chosen field. They start from nothing, having no specific dream, fought in field of experience and got a taste of success. This book tells us, journey for them was not easy and smooth but destination is.
This is Second book from Rashmi Bansal and she kept her style of writing and format exact same from her previous book 'Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish'. There are Three section of this book and I just love all three names, 1. Jugaad, 2. Junoon and 3. Jubaan. All are hindi words can translate to 'Temporary manage or Arrangement', 'Madness/eager to do something' and 'expression by words/language'.
Though there are 20 best stories, I found 5 stories are more inspiring to think beyond your limitation to do something better in life.
JUGAAD is the collection of stories of the people who have never get a chance to learn anything about Business, but they able to mange (Jugaad) the things at right time with right attitude to achieve the success.
Kunwar Sachdev, a person who is coming from medium class background, with no big dream except to start his own business. He was not a Physics student, but he used Physics in his practical life to become a 500 + cr. business owner. SU-KAM was a name for his pen manufacturing company, but he carried same name for his next business, Power Inventor manufacturing. Story is amazingly written by Author and gives us an idea, how by following something else you may end up doing better than what you have started. Something will work in JUGAAD for your success.
'Gori Gori, Fem Fem girl' was a tag used in the advertise the face bleach product, 'FEM'. I remember, It was very famous in late 90'. After reading the story of real FEM Girl 'Sunita Ramnathekar, I was stunned to know that the product was discovered in the kitchen. The story tells you the life style of the Sunita after her marriage and how she wanted to do something for her pocket money. She is good observers and having sense what market may need with self experienced. She thought and introduce a bleach to hide 'unwanted hair' from face, which become very popular because of the side effect. It was fortunate for Sunita that her product was giving a positive side effect of Fairness, to the customer. This change everything for Sunita and she promote that product for Fairness bleach, instead. The jugaad she made in her kitchen, accepted by people and gave her success like, she never had dream of. A 200 cr company sold to Dabur after 27 years in skincare industry. It's an amazing journey for her.
Imagine a person who was living in tin shade in Pune slum, but doing JUGAAD with his risk taking appetite and opportunistic sense, he become a owner of company, having 16,000 Employee working with him and total worth of 300+ cr. This story tells you how part time small business become Million dollar business. Mr. Hanmant Gaikwad started his house keeping service industry as part time job, while doing a service in TATA auto. He sense a opportunity in almost every thing where ever he goes, from taking class for Diploma student to Paint the wall to lay the brick road to clean the company floor, to anything. The story is journey of a Person who is ready to experiment and do something (JUGAAD) to earn money.
"Do Good Work and More Work will Come to You"
JUNOON is all about the People, who have their dream and ready to do anything (Junoon) to get their dream in real.
Some people don't like to read when they are in school, but later they realize, book reading is important. I like this story because I myself consider in this category of the people. :)
He failed to fulfill his father dream to complete his degree in Mathematics, but become a great sales manager in Book store. The book reading can do the wonders, but in his case Book selling made his life wonderful. R. Sriram's story is lesson, how dreamer should follow his Dream till it become reality. From sales person in book store to India's first book store chain owner is not a common dream. R. Sriram understood the meaning of "Intelligence and Capability are not enough, there must be joy of doing something beautiful". A words from Dr. Venkat swami of Arvind Eye hospital. Good story to read.
JUBAAN is collection of stories of creative people, who choose the different platform to express themselves (Jubaan) and prove the world that Creative Mind people can become a entrepreneur,
When I saw a movie 'Harishchdrachi Factory' in 2010, I was amazed the worked done by team. That time I had never thought about any individual from that team, till I read about Mr. Paresh Mokashi, who made his dream come true though this movie. He wanted to become an actor but end up writing stories for play, Marathi serials etc. We should be glad, that Paresh understood his hidden talent of writing, which he must have got from his journalist father. He wrote many small play, but he become famous with black comedy play in Marathi, 'Mukkam post Bombilwadi'. From there he never looked back and made history by producing a Film in Marathi, which is costliest movie (4cr) in Marathi Industry then. The movie is different then and even now, because it is without a Song, Dance and/or big banner Actors in it, still got huge attention and recognition from Industry and got a place for Oscar nomination in 2009.
An Artiest can become an entrepreneur, if he believe in his creation and use his mind to invest money in it.
The book is really good to read, not in one seat, but whenever you are in mood to understand how the successful become successful. There is no magic, only dedication toward the goal and hard work. Yes to understand your Goal, you need to work really hard. try many things before you settle in one line or one business. but no shortcut for hard work.

Change is Good
It was late evening of 10 or 12 July 1992. We were planning to sleep early, as there was no lights and raining heavily outside. I was 12 years old that time. It was my best opportunity for me and my sister to skip the homework and go to bed. We were busy in making arrangements for bed. Suddenly, we terrified by loud noise of hitting something on ground, along with screaming of people from out side of our home. Before we could understand anything, I was getting breeze and drizzling of rain from the side wall, where I was standing to make arrangement for bed. My father pulled me and my sister aside and drag us to out of that building. We all were standing in crowd to witness our home is getting tumble in that thunderstorm. Lightning was helping us to see how badly our home was damaged. The side wall which was unsupported from outside was collapsed, but rest structure was stand still.
It was 2 and half story building, called WADA, constructed by my father's Grandfather in year 1940-50. We spend that night in one of our close relatives place, but my father reluctant to leave the place. He wanted to guard the remaining property and all inside stuff of our home, which was easily accessible from that open wall.
My first home shifting was unavoidable and forceful that time. I was just asked to take care of my school bag and stuff related to my school. Rest things get packed and move to new location on very next day. I don't remember how that had happened or who made that possible, but all required stuff were intact at new place for me and my sister. Out life was back to normal in just 2-3 days.
That Wada is now changed to a 4 story commercial cum residential building. Before moving to this place, we have shifted 4 times in span of 11 year from 1992 to 2003. Moving from own HOME to own or rent a small flat, was not easy that time. But we learnt many things in that shift, we experience the different culture, people, festivals, Co-Operative housing society rules and Politics in that housing society. All shifting was with purpose of convenience for my parents and our school.
It seems unending story. We are shifting again for better neighborhood and close to school for my son. This is 5th time we are changing my postal address. This time we are moving to new rental home for next couple of years. I wish landlord would offer me that property in next 2-3 years at affordable price. We have yet to moved there, but I am in love that home and locality.
Change is unavoidable, like my first shifting in my life. If you are reluctant, then situation force you to change, but if you are aware where you want to head in life then you need to change the situation. With this new change, I know where exactly I am heading to.
Every Change Brings Good in Life, If You Are Ready to Accept.

A Book, brings me to my blog again
Back after 5 years ...!!!
I knew Blogging was not meant for me, but I started in 2009 and (un)fortunately stopped in 2010. This is not the 1st thing, which I started with hopping something better and stop following soon. There are many unfinished things in my life, which sometime I laugh on, and sometime just regret.
I was counting blog in that unfinished things, but today, I thought to give a shot again. When, I have started blogging initially, 'It was to express myself, Not to Impress the world'. Then why did I stop? It was my habit to keep things unfinished.
Unending list of unfinished tasks, rewrite every December by name of resolution. From many years I was practicing to make a resolution in month of December and then run away from those resolutions by end of Feb or March. Yet again, it was Dec 2012 and I was ready with my resolution list (unfinished list from last year). One of that was Reading Books. I pin that resolution for coming year and made small change, from 'Reading Books' to READ A BOOK'. That a small change was very effective. I know my reading habit, so decided to find a small book. Same evening I was on road looking for roadside used book stall to get something to read for sake of my resolution.
With confuse mind, I was looking at stack of books and wonder what to select. I never been to book stall, except to buy school/collage books. That time I knew what to buy, starting from weakest subject I was in :) But the time has changed and so do the selection of book. Now the subject is not only selection criteria for book. You need to know what type of book suites you and what you need from book. So my selection started with easy steps, observing what other readers were checking at and just follow them. I was acting like I'm a good thinker and choosy for books. One thing was sure, I wanted to start with a Indian author book. As I don't wanted to keep a dictionary beside me, while reading book.
Will you select a book by color of cover, title or Author instead? funny isn't? But I was automatically picking anything with dark color cover, not sure about the contain and context. And finally, I was stuck with a one book. It was with black cover, Indian Author, easy and bold title, 'YOU CAN WIN' by Shiv Khera. This is it...!!!
I was more amused by the tag line of that book, 'Winner don't do the different things, they do the things differently'. That book change my life and gave me a lot. The most important thing I learnt from that book is 'Never Quit' attitude.
I'm back to my blog to commit myself on public domain, that I will never QUIT again.
