Today... and hopefully tomorrow...

This day.. .. a day where i could actually take a major decision in life..  Life  dosent give u many situations wherein you have to decide what you wanna do...

today.. a confusion prevailed where i had to decide between a lucrative job offer or a hope.. a hope to learn and reach somewhere i always wanted to reach....

I have to work.. the rest will follow..

On Road

I was so confused what to do..what not to do.. am in a booming industry..the whole world kept on saying....gosh..u thinkin to leave telecom..u gone nuts.. u plannin to do a full time mba !! forsaking a lucrative salary...
 
But... I want to reach my destination...my goal... to become someone who could directly enhance and plan the growth or an organization/institution...
 
Its not that I was not growing.. I was... But i needed vertical growth.. i need the pressure.. i need the environment which could sustain continous growth and responsibilities.. i needed myself.. wanted to reinvent myself every moment.. live each moment as if its the last one i got !!
 
Someday... I wanna see myself on the cover of the "TIME"... and once i achieve that out of my corporate career, i would like to get out of the rat race and get into teaching..to teach at the Indian School of Business.. two reasons... why i wanna teach there... bcos the vision and mission of the school are so clear and precise.. the following is so sleek... secondly.. its at hyderabad.. one city i cherish...
 
 

Book

i just came across this book : The ultimate book of business brands by stuart crainer.. wonderful book... very informative..
 
my friend yogesh just made in curious regarding the "the marketing blunder of the century "... and i have been troubling google since then....
 
 





Kandisa......

the best fusion music to ever grace any human's ear.... its just eternal bliss.... drop in a ear...

keyboard.......

Our destinies resembles a keyboard... what u type in.. u get on the screeen... what u do in life.. u get the same as your destiny...
 
students work hard.. clear exams.. work hard .. clear courses.. work hard..perform... work hard.. satisfaction...
 
similarly..all our endeavours are basically a result of some event that has occured in our lives.. In business.. ethical practices are getting rarer by the day.. but companies which have stuck to it are reaping its benefits now.. take the case of Johnson and Johnson... a company of great repute.. financially stable.. and ethically rightly placed... in the late 70's the company underwent a situation which could have lead to the company's disaster.... One day due to somebody's mischief. a whole batch of a particular medicine was mixed with poison. The effect ..deaths... J & JJ had options.. either release a ad in the paper to warn people against purchasing the medicine.. or call back the entire batch... (which was a tougher option).. But the management decided to go for it.. and then it began.. the call back exercise involved the employees to reach every house where the medicine was sold.. even the MD of the company was involved in this house hunting process.. after two months of this rigrous exercise the company could manage to call back the entire stock... and now.. J & J holds one of the top positions as "the most ethical brand"....
 
 

Insecurity

Are men only insecure ??? or is it just a part of human nature ?? these questions keep pinging me all the time. I may have a lot of drawbacks, but one sureshot drawback is my insecurity.. i may fight the world.. but ... fighting that insecurity within myself has become a challenge..
 
what is it which causes this feeling ?? attachment...possession... emotion... friends... love ???? but what do they mean to business.. or we just refering to relationships... there is a bond somewhere between the two... insecurity related to job.. work.. assignment..money..future.. anything under the sun i guess... the basic reason for every insecurity is the "sinking feeling of loss"..... "risk of survival without the "insecured" (not insured) being/item..

friends....

friends... mean a lot to me..and i am lucky enough to have two great friends... one is yogesh..and the other . they both make my life complete...
 
i have learnt a lot of things from these two... one thing common in them.. they speak the truth.. i was devoid of this virtue for a long time.. secondly..the sincerity and ability to perform even though sleep consumed the better half of the day....
 
we can brand them actually.. everything is a brand..u ...me ..everyone.. basically we symbolize zomething.. i may symbolize fat... dark... whatever... if u say pele.. u will immediately recalll the brazilian who wears yellow shirts and green shorts.... the goal..so many things...
