Thin Line behind big picture......


Instantaneous towards what we think and what we do today is ever changing. Even in the materialistic perspective of out day to day life which creates a relevant stories to write on a paper which is unpredictable. Its thin line that what our mind think and what we do it in an act and sometimes we tend to compromise the fact due to practical reasons. A ease of single spark that creates the whole momentum of belief that we have today.

The recent announcement of business barons likes gates and warren buffet who is in full swing of campaign for collecting money for the charity and the support nurtures by american billionaire are something amazing which India should be a part of it non politically. Rather at least an equivalent initiative for India's growth.

It's just a spark that nurture the entire situation to happen in developing the community. Recent announcement of building houses for Tamil Srilankan's by government of India is something which helps the community and when we take the instances of Bill and Melinda gates foundation in developing and supporting women's health at greater extent in every walk of their life.

Its not necessary that we tend to spend most of the time and money in doing this but at least lets do once in our life time in developing the community rather at least contribute.

One Second Hesitation = 24 Hours Delay


When we want to create the future of ourself and no matter how far we get ready and prepare for the gearing start...through this blog today, i would like to narrate the concept of delay management.

We always tend to create a momentum of post ponding things in our life, may it be for a simple thing or critical one. We feel that particular task is not so important and lets do sometimes later. Best example is booking train tickets for our travel. As we know that i'm suppose to travel by this month end for my vacation what stops in doing it right and then. A delay in this might move our ticket reservation may be it for RAC or wait list.

After all, we are human being and tend to do mistakes in life. A simpler task might become complicated and instead of travelling in train with lesser fare, we tend to spend more money in private buses. If you see in this instance, that the objective of the travel is the same and due to delay/postponement the amount money spent for the travel is huge.

Heard many sayings, " Best day is today - Best time is now", "If not now, never", "Tomorrow never comes". In all this, positive analogies are posted by and large. But if you see the implication of the delay in a particular act, we tend to not doing it for quite long time.

I accept there are practical problem and it will become big laundry list if we start saying reasons. lets not take it to that level of blame fingers on us. "

Early we finish the work early the results are" - Never Forget that.

Never think of how people react for performing a particular task..remember

People might shout, irritate, critisize,demotivate you by all means..never bother...Remember one thing......"" IN ANY GAME, AUDIENCE MAKE NOISE AND NOT THE PLAYERS "".

Lets make a note of doing things early and better our lifes are.

Keep refreshing my blog..Happy Day.

...A Big pictures starts from a DOT...

Heard people saying ironies and analogies are bordem principles in life or we dont tend to believe in those actions in our practical life. I would say, nothing wrong in taking those principles and customize to our nature and character. A large instance started from a single point to create its nature and like wise rome is not built in a single day...

Through this blog i would like to bring the concept of good start is half done...i was listening to Robin Sharma - a notable writer from east canada and part of small village of 2000 people started his career in speechonomics with his own family members to create the concept of leadership forum and what's now globally recognised. Now he's own of the eminent speaker and writer representing robin sharma international and single instant what took him by his self published book - Monk who sold his ferrari..he describe the journey of his career as hit struggles and thorns, because he was not a effective speaker and he hesitate to speak in front of public. A single instance made him to speak to people and create his own niche area -- fantastic move and it would not been possible without a startup and that spark took him to this level.

I can start narating people who crossed these hurdles and its huge laundry list and we should be part of this list any day...Classic Indian barrons like NR Murthy of Infosys, Sunil Mittal of Bharti enterprises, Ambani, Tata, Wipro and it goes..

Life has given us many examples to live our birth differently and good start up would leave us with good results and lets respect that..
A big pictures starts from a dot and lets start putting our first foot print to create the picture and it can happen only when we start in right away. I still remember, when i started cycling and my first pedal slipped and though with my second and third. But, first and second day was little hectice and not really happy with my cycling. Though, my third day was fantabulous and could recollect those momentum in replicating the same in our life in every path.

Let's create as many dots in our life and join those dots together to travel differently. Lets create uniqueness...
Happy Day - Shiva.

In The Line Of BOOMERANG


the life bliss has a personal implication of what we invest and what we get in return. Its general humunology that success is always spelled aloud and not the failure. We assume that a spectacular deserveness would rule us in the performance of ability and the end result in implementing our thoughts. The process of ability and measurement of an individual task would determine the terms of dictatorship and achievement.


Boomerang is an effective tool used in those days for hunting in the forest and what i call it as “Acceleration of ability and self judgment" - which might make as an instance that what we invest in our life, we tend to receive in return and that’s the mutuality of Boomerang and its play. If we tend to receive failure in particular action, take it as a terms of learning and feel still there are steps for achieving and reaching success. Remember, boomerang works only for people who invest dedicatively in assigned task and expect the positive synergy and result.


Let's take an instance of accepting the problem in variance of looking things at. When you see a small pit, our thought process would not take much time and decide that we can able to cross this as assuming that the pit is too small and one can cross with low risk. Similarly, the large one will take more time for the think process as it leads to higher risk and tend to delay logically. When we start thinking about the problem at the smaller end, the expectation of the finding a solutions for a problem has more probability.


At most time, we tend to blame the happenings and surroundings that lead you to the point of failure. We miss to understand one thing that the problem not lies in beholders and it’s with oneself, which need to be corrected with the right attitude.


I would say, it depends on the way we look at things and create our own assumption towards the subject. It's not the problem that lies in the object and in turn it’s the scratch in the spectacle. The time you change the object the scratch is not going to change as the problem is not with the object it’s with the spectacle. Here, the spectacle is oneself and realize the problem lies where and how we can overcome the same.


The life has given us a line and we need to change the line as square or a circle or a rectangle and it’s absolutely with us on creating the sculpture.

the color that i would like to shade myself


In my today’s blog I would like to share some thoughts about the role of colors in our life. This write up is not going to enumerate about blue and green colors, it’s about choosing colors in our life.

I still remember the good old days of wearing black t-shirts and trousers in our school escort team to play the lead role in school annual day function. On teacher’s day, class XII of the students decided to keep blue as a concept to depict that teachers are at the level of sky. At the tender age the white top shirt and blue trousers are our school uniform and white & white for our sports day function are still route in my mind as beautiful story.

Today, we have are choosy in deciding the colors. May it be for painting the house, buying a car, cloths and as such. In one of the article I’ve read sometime back says, that human has 90% of their attraction and identification through color by all means. For instance, some of my friends mock that hey if it’s yellow color car then it should be none other than Raghu.

Recently, one of my friends has picked up a red shaded hyundai i10 and he has reasons to choose the particular color. The reason could be of any of the following – favorite color, lucky color, looks good, esteem and prestigious, sentimental, emotion etc., but the fact is that there is a reason tiedup for choosing any colors.

Let’s get in to Indian family traditions and their outlook of colors. In Hindu customs – during “semantham”, the general habit is wearing of color bangles in the function. Hold on, there is a reason for and why they do this. Red bangle is to show the blood relationship, green bangle is to show the attachmemt with the family members, black bangle is to prevent the eyes, yellow bangle is to show the “sumangali”, and blue bangle is to show the health.

During marriage occasion, mostly the people won’t prefer black as they feel it as “sad” colors. On most occasions in Hindu customs - yellow, green and red are the preferred colors.

On view, if you take the traffic signals – red, yellow and green would guide and control the traffic at the right time. This system helps the people who are driving on roads for their safety and convenience. Red symbol is to stop, yellow is to hold and green is to run. In some signals number systems are also followed to control the traffic, still the red, yellow and green lights remains constant.

In generic, light colors go with the dark colors. For instance, in schools black board is written with the white chalk piece and in offices, white board is written with black, red, green and blue markers.

Color theory is quite famous in abroad countries and it’s basically the countries following traditions. Like, England, France, Paris, Germany, Italy, London etc., these countries still follows their traditional colors and majorly aesthetic woods shades and stone shades are footprints by all means.

Indian instances like police stations and fire stations are red in color, hospitals doctors wear white color to show equality. In courts, advocates wear black courts to show the equality. Politicians wear different colors to show their party symbols.

In corporate, colors plays major role and in fact the similar colors are followed in all corporate functions and programmes. For instance, Oracle’s logo is designed with red color and starting from the portal, new letters, public domains looks as in red colors. In SAP, the log is designed with blue color and used across the corporate communications and programmes.

Each one of us has different view of colors and it’s importance. But the common base fact is that there is a reason for choosing a color and we feel the credibility of colors in our life. Whatever be it, the color that I would like to be reflected in me is the color of personality…the color of attitude…the color of virtues…the color of thoughtfulness….the color of optimism….the color of conscience….the color of the society….the color of empathy….the color of sympathy….!!!!

MASKing – A Dark Shade


Mask by self- an outraging term. “What I call it as conceal of originality”, but how do I relate this term in my blog today. In current given market situation, companies are fighting against each other in the same space. One of the research says, for each customer requirement there are 10 vendors in the market whom they can choose from. Accepting the fact, the concept of Masking would really helpful for the companies to paint their new business strategies.

BLACK MASK
The Black MASK is the one where only the developers of the concepts know and implement, NO ONE ELSE can replicate this strategy.


RED MASK
The Red MASK is the one where other competitors cannot touch and even though they aware on the technology. Incase if the competitors replicate those strategy would lead into heavy loss in terms of money and market share.

GREEN MASK
The Green MASK is the one where the companies encourage other’s also get into the business, so that the technology and concepts would reach more customers and market potential would develop exponentionally.

White MASK
The White MASK is the one where all the companies would have a market share and depends on their marketing ability will eat their proportionate.

It really not required being a leader or follower or pioneer to win the customer. Whoever wears the right mask would win the race.

For instance, Amazon is the not the first company to get into online books store business, Apple IPOD is not the first company in MP3 player market, Google is not the first search engine company, regional television channels are not the one who started first in India. But still, how these companies can reach the top position in the market and how they completely overcome the competitors.

Each and every company has its own USP and it would vary depends on the company’s strategy to capture the market. But still inspite of having good product, features, competitive pricing, customer support, advertising some product can’t live for a long time or survive. This is the place where the concept of Masking would help the companies’ way forward.

Where’s the FLAW?
Bad product management Vs Good product management. The companies raise their shoulders and say that their products are really competitive in price, beneficial for the customer, technologically upgraded. But the fact is that they assume that it benefit the customer where it’s not the case. The companies are not developing for the customer benefit or rather its not reaching the customer.

What NEXT????
Companies could follow the below steps to reach the leader quadrant.
1. Select the MASK
2. Develop the USP ( Unique Selling Proposition )
3. Form the new product management team.
4. QoQ performance analysis.
5. Constant feedback from the customer on usage and design the improvement matrix.

There is no one strategy in business where the companies can grow and deliver high profit rather there is NO one single strategy given in the platter to get success. The MASKing is one such strategy which yielded high results to many companies and it should used in effective way to materialize.

Either Be Black or White and Not Gray!!!!

We all understand from our practical life that something does'nt make sense when it's not 100%. Do we really recognize the fact or why do we completetly compromise or convince ourself towards this dis-mutuality.There are much theory say's that " Success is Not Sweet, but the Secret of Success is Sweat" - this term is more relevant to the context. If you want to achieve something never compromise on the facts and jus go away and everthing is fair in business community.

How choosy are we in selecting a car or to buy a house or to watch a film and for that matter hours of time spend in watching cricket. We Indians are selective in everything except the factor to grow the Indian community at large.
For intance, the recent review of Slumdog Millionaire is bext example to quote on this. Not criticizing on the part " Close your eyes and think for a while, do we really need a overseas director to speak and enlight about India and growth, same way for the film ' Gandhi ', definetely not going to accept, coz the whole world is filled with brain drained Indian including the top position in MNC's and we understand those facts.
If we all stop projecting India ourself, someone will enfiz to do that. So the creature is recognized in multi-dimension, but would have been more delighted if it would have come from the Indian creation.
What's the concept mean -
Black or white is not about the color or race( to be quoted ), it's about can do and cannot do. In simple, Success or failure and not in between, Yes or No and not in between, one or zero and not in between. So never compromise or convince yourself on the fact and programmes that delighted you for such a long time.
I really dont want to see India as a developing country which i used to read in my school days and no wonder even my kid would be reading the same. Do we all marching towards that ???
Accepting the fact, India is growing and emposed globally and India is the one place where everyone want to fix their footstep. Becoz they see the enormous potential and growth in the Indian soil. All happy news to hear and trust me not in the long run.
Through this concept , i would like to bring the dark thoughts into the ray which has to hit every Indian saying that we would walk an extra mile and get whatever we want. I'm not saying change the complete economic policy but still there should be hurdle block in ever action that an overseas is looking into India for the safer play. Many developed nations has this policy of closed economy and when do we think it's the right time for the closed economy and i had some discussion with the experts in the field and the reply was the Indian is growing because of open economy in certain field. Really great but - " NOT IN THE LONG RUN "
How do we form this community :
Just keep this concept in mind and work towards that for every task that you do it in your day's life. Trust me, the way forward is going to be "Either black or white and not gray"

As a final note, being the growing popoulation, technology, education, literacy, inflation - Comparitively the competition is going to be the one factor which would be standing in front of us. So believe me, work towards this concept you will see wonders in life.
