My Realization

I quit my job. Ran out of savings. Then took a low-paying job as a copywriter. I bootstrapped down and moved into my Dad’s tiny apartment. Without much space, we slept in the same room. During this time, I learned something beautiful. Success and happiness parallel how much value we create for others. Not how many books we read, podcasts we listen to, or YouTube videos we watch. The problem: I had no skills. I had no money. With few options, I began writing for many hours every day. To focus, I stopped… -Talking to friends who didn’t help me create value. -Opening my Facebook News Feed. -Paying attention to politics. -Watching T.V. and Netflix. -Going out to eat. First, I wrote on my blog. As I became a better writer, I contributed to publications. People began to recognize and respect my ability to create value. I left my low-pay copy
writing job to work for a Facebook software company and moved out of my Dad’s apartment. I then took a job as the VP of marketing for an events company spread across five cities, then eventually, I became the head of growth for a VC firm. Now, I'm a founder of two companies and a 15,000-person community. If your life is not on a successful track, then ask yourself: Am I a consumer or a creator?

Well what i wrote in my first post is what i was taught in my moral science classes in school and what the The Holy BIBLE says about virginity and i had included my personal views too...because the post was getting too long...i had to cut it short....well here is the follow-up of my previous post...the thoughts i left unexpressed...here i go... Well suppose, i am in love with a girl.....i am talking about love not marriage because i don't believe in the concept of arrange marriage....so getting back to the point..ok i am madly in love with her....crazy for her and then one day i come to know, "THAT SHE IS NOT A VIRGIN".Oh my God,  she is impure...she has betrayed me....what will i do then,  should i shoot her,  stab her to death, throw her out of my life.  NOT at all....i cannot and i will not do anything that i mentioned above....why so ? simply because of the fact that i love her and that reason is enough for me to hold her hands.

THESE INDEPENDENCE DAY, I DEMAND INDEPENDENCE FROM HUNGER

If a child is born in India, what is his or her future ?. Will he or she grow into a healthy individual. Will they get enough food to fill their stomach and nourish themselves. Will they be blessed with good health so that they in near future contribute to the growth of our country. The answer to such question in several cases is a straight forward NO. And why it is so, here are some reasons that are degrading the health of the future of our country, OUR CHILDREN : 1.  In India 84% of all health care expenditure is out of pocket. This places a great number of families at risk of falling into poverty due to high health expenses 2.  Every third child in India is malnourished. Infant and child mortality rates still remain very high. 3.  There are almost no services or programmes for children with mental health issues. Children with disabilities, HIV/AIDS and mental disorders are stigmatized and hence have little access to health facilities. 4.  India has one...

DEEPIKA PADUKONE VS THE TIMES OF INDIA AND MY VIEWS ON THE WHOLE STORY

Image
I am a big fan of Deepika padukone,Her dimples,her acting and that sexy voice she has....wowww marvellous. The character she played in Cocktail "Veronica" is still fresh in my mind. Well i do agree with Deepika padukone  when she vented her anger on Times of India as she said "Yes i am a woman, i have a breasts and a cleavage! You got a problem?". I must actually applaud this woman for having the guts to kick the balls of a leading newspaper," The times of india". This incident exposes the hypocrisy of Indian media. They talk about women empowerment and parallel to that they keep exposing their cleavages too. Its so funny isn't it. We all are at times the same like the indian media, we talk of great things, of great manners, of great culture but at the same time in a dark room when no one is around we watch porn...isn't it. But then its ok, we restrict the beast in ourselves to four corners of our room.  Its very difficult to control the ov...
