Start Afresh

Start Afresh and Start It Now. Today is  Gudi Padwa  - derived from the Sanskrit name for Chaitra Shukla Pratipad. It's a festival celebrated on the first day of Chaitra month to mark the beginning of the new year according to the Lunisolar Hindu Calendar. I believe that everyday is a new day as a Blessing and as an Opportunity, and nothing can beat living each and every day fully, making each day count. Still, if some people take New Year, be it 1st of January (new year according to Gregorian Calendar) or Gudi Padwa (new year according to Lunisolar Hindu Calendar), a milestone to start with, be it that way. What matters most, whenever your mind is in best possible condition to start a new beginning, Just Do It. Take this opportunity to Start Afresh. It's all about Mindset and conditioning of your Mind to make a new start, new beginning, new learning, new venture and to reinvent the new You. Everything starts with Mind. Remember, everybody gets knocked down some...

(Yaar jindagi me maza nahi aa raha hai - are bhai maza dukaan se kharid ke lao kya?) You know what? The interesting fact is, we are not like this by nature.  Remember your childhood when you were full of energy, damn hopeful about everything, full of dreams, almost fearless and ready to do anything, having so many goals to be achieved, eager to do so much and more.  But in the process of getting old (so many call it getting mature) we try to behave in a preset socially acceptable manner and we do i...

Google Is In Danger (yes you heard it right - though apologies that I'm writing this post on the platform given free by Google  itself) - Have you heard about  Slack  ,  Jelly  (now owned by Pinterest) ,  Medium  ? There are certain things which are going to keep or even you can say keeping themselves ahead of (in near future) Internet giant  Google  and other big players such as Facebook  and Snapchat . Certainly it need real guts and really awesome things to do so but what are those? Here they are  - As I say "Your Greatest Opportunity Lies In Your Smallest Acts". It's just an elaborated version of this simple but effective technique. They all are making things damn Simpler and better with increased Simplicity, Security and Transparency. Generally, being a human we tend to think that there are certain things we can't do better, but let me tell you - yes there is and there always is. Not getting it? Here is the example....
