Plan like you will live forever. Live like you will die tonight. Yesterdays are dead. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and one day, I shall be right. Fight for your happiness. It's the only thing worth fighting for. The great Aristotle said those immortal words, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” May you find yours.

being an Indian!!
What does being an Indian mean to you? Are you ashamed of it?
For years on end, India has meant poverty, malnutrition, corruption, pollution, hyper population and all those things that make you feel bad about being a part of that country. Only recently things have begun to change but at a larger level, the reality is much the same, only a few have benefitted from the benefits of good education and reform.
True these things are. But, whose fault? of Indians. If India is a brand, which it is, what is its brand image? what is the essence of Brand India? What does it communicate to you? What are the values this brand stands for? Why not re-define them. Let's together create a new identity for this brand.
Start with yourself. Do it. Make a difference of one in a billion. Let India stand for:
Respect for all human beings irrespective of caste, creed, color
Professionalism
Thought leadership
Positive Change
Integrity
Resilience but not subservience
Change the rules of the game. If a mistake has been committed for centuries, there is no reason to repeat it because it is still a mistake.
Do not let the majority fool you, think by yourself and take a stand. Build a new brand. Raise the bar.

my rules!
when i sit for work, the minimum sitting will be 2 hours or more. I will not sit for less than 2 hours. The idea is to stretch the limit as much as possible.
It takes time to warm up the mind every time I walk out and have to start afresh which is an utter waste of time.
There will be at least 5 such sittings in the day, that is 10 hours a day, monitored.
