{December 13, 2007} Day at TIE Entrepreneurship Summit 2007
I think, it would be great if I share my day with you guys as it was full of new learning and experience. I had a chance to visit the TIE Entrepreneurship Summit 2007 today at Taj palace. It was a mega event with ICICI, KPMG, Infosys as lead sponsors. There were number of other sponsors in the pipeline looking to capture a blink of every other’s eye. Milagrow- the organization that I work for, was one of the sponsors’ and mentored in-depth mentoring sessions during the day. We came across a plethora of ‘budding entrepreneurs’ from diversed backgrounds/industries, aspiring high to make it big. It was great talking to these people and learning about their businesses and business models. The one thing which really strikes and fascinates me is the ability of these YI (Young India) entreprenuers to take risks and their ability/vision to look beyond. The objective of their visit at Milagrow mentoring sessions, primarily revolved around their businesses at start up and scale up levels. Some were looking forward to develop Go-to-market strategies, others were looking in for developing an effective sales team, a persuading business model for survival, growth and creation of orientation skill set.
Besides all of these mentoring sessions, I got a chance to attend sessions on Social entrepreneurship, Lifestyle entrepreneurship (basically on Green energy) and a retail session headed by Technopak, Raymonds, Reebok and one more company which I am not able to recall as of now.
Anyways, the day was full of part-time tasks and I am glad that I got this opportunity to see some of the highest authorities in the world of business & entrepreneurship…I will be back with new insights in my next blog…
At the end of the day…the entire summit revolved around just one thing and i.e. How to make money?
{December 8, 2007} Expand your life to meet time for task
I didn’t manage to go to gym today. My member friends from BSG came over to my place for Gongyo & Daimoku. Sometimes, it gets real difficult to achieve all planned, but does that mean one should not plan or for that matter, should plan smart so that to leave enough room for the unexpected.
Things are quite weird around us. There are people who have so much to do and there are those who hardly have anything to do. In both the cases, ‘time’ is crucial. But there is one more thing that stands besides it.”ZEAL TO EXPAND ONE’S LIFE”.
I think time will always be limited and one needs to expand one’s work hours in order to achieve what is planned. This is not the sure shot alternative, as there are no hard and fast rules in life….Situations differ, Object differ, Subjects differ and ofcourse Abilities differ….
Finally, I would like to add that it is imperative to work more in order to achieve more. Effort is yours, results will follow.. the yield of the outcome may differ but once you work towards it, you will be better off and shall move towards high life. A life that makes you realize the fact that – “I stand taller then I did yesterday”.
{December 7, 2007} BSG Upcoming Event
I am so tired right now that I am not in a position to recall anything worthwhile to write. Never the less, just to share a bit of me today, I had visited the BSG meeting after coming back from office. It was a casual stint for about 20 minutes with some of the members. The group is planning to give-in their best this December in organizing a cultural event. Being a YMD member, many of the senior members are looking forward to my participation for the event on the 23rd of this month.
Our district leader has appointed me and one of my fellow member friend to select a venue for the event. I am happy to do this but I am more concerned about my RE project..The days are passing and my boss is pretty annoyed with the progress so far.
I know, I have to give myself in both the cases as I don’t want to step back and in fact don’t have much options left. Let us see…how it works…one thing is for sure, It’s me who is to work and things will not happen by themselves…so let’s do it!!
One more thing, I will be joining Amnesty International and CRY for some social work…I have already registered for CRY but no reponse from their side till date…I am yet to apply to Amnesty…I will be doing that soon.
{December 6, 2007} This Day was just the routine
I have been working since morning on the Real Estate project allotted by my boss two (2) months back. Its been quite some time and still I am not in a position to submit the project PPT. The last time I presented my work to my boss, he didn’t like it. The kind of presentations he shared with me, which were of-course a peace of art and produced by him; the slides were full of animation and geek stuff. He expects me to make my PPT presentations more interactive and viewer friendly…
I really don’t know how to find such animated tools which could be used in my PPT project. Every now and then, things are getting more tough for me. I am finding it tough to keep up with the pace. I am involved in some more things which of-course are result of my choice but still these interests are taking toll of me and life’s getting a bit tough…However, I know what life expects out of me…The spasm is wonderful though.(lol)
While doing reserach, I found some very good content on Real Estate. These were some reports by Knight Frank & Grosvenor(International RE research & skill firms). I will upload some of them for FMPP group members…
{December 4, 2007} My Bookstore Visit
I had parked the car in front of Galgotia Book Store in Connaught Place. I had went there to buy some books for my Gmat preperation and leisure reading.
While coming back to the parking lot, I met a guy staring at me. I went on to my car and as soon as I moved in to open the car, this guy came to me and started telling me coherently about my future. He said “you are planning to move abroad”. He said; “you are planning to go to UK”. He also said; “you will be able to do it by self studies”.
Ohhh…that sounded mischief to me….How did this guy knew about my plans and intentions of studying abroad?? I got too paranoid listening to all this and as I was getting late, I just went on with my work…..
My concern is: How these people manage to hone such kind of skills? Are they learnt or ‘born-with’ kinda thing? Why people like him (a bull of clairvoyance)…don’t land up living a respectable life even though, they have such admirable skills in revealing others’ past and future?
If this guy was a ‘real martini’ then I think, he really deserves an applause…but the problem is where’s the framework to certify such abilities? Had it been there, the guy would have made respectable money using these skills and certifiction. However, the situation seems bleak to me…What say you?
