The Journey.. is what brings happiness

The Journey.. the journey is what brings happiness and not the destination      - " Peaceful Warrior " This is a pretty strange movie with lots of illogical twists and turns but nonetheless pretty entertaining and at least the theme is good. The quote has been explained in an interesting way. Socrates of the movie (philosopher guy) takes movie's hero on a trek telling that there is something fascinating on the peak of the hill. After climbing for 3 hours, Socrates shows him a stone and says this is all he wanted to show. After a while hero understands and says that it is not the destination you should love, rather journey.  (Above affair sounds more interesting in the context in movie) :D A few other quotes in the movie: Socrates: Death isn't sad. The sad thing is: most people don't live at all. Socrates: Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe

Linkedin Hack! - Contact People Out of Network

This hack is applicable under following constraints: You have a free (non premium) account on LinkedIn You have searched someone who is totally out of your network (at 3rd level or more) LinkedIn shows that the only way to contact him/her is via InMail There is no way for you to add the contact to your network Hack is pretty simple: Check it out if the guy you want to add (say Mr. XY) has any recommendations and go to the contact who has recommended this chap. You can also go to the profile who was recommended by Mr. XY Now, on this profile you will obviously find that he has (or he was) recommended by Mr. XY Click on the link of Mr. XY and go to his profile LinkedIn now understands that you have arrived on this profile via network and not directly through random search. It will show the options to add him as friend or send him messages. Tried and tested :D

Hypocratic Indian Society

Lord  Madhav  with his love -  Radha अर्ज़ किया है: भ्रमर कोई कुमुदनी पर मचल बैठा तो हंगामा, हमारे दिल में कोई ख्वाब पल बैठा तो हंगामा | अभी तक डूब कर सुनते थे सब किस्सा मुहब्बत का, मै किस्से को हकीकत मै बदल बैठा तो हंगामा ||  (कुमार विश्वास) For those who do not understand Hindi, I will translate this for you. I am sure Google translator will fail for above lines :) Please excuse me for a non rhythmic translation of beautiful lines written above. If a bumble bee goes crazy for a flower (White Lotus) then there is a chaos, If my heart starts dreaming then there is a chaos. Till now we used to watch and listen romantic stories, If I converted this story into my reality, then there is a chaos. Above lines describe Indian Society's Hypocrisy very nicely. India has so many romantic tales from history (Lord Krishna and Radha, read here ) and every Bollywood movie has a featured love story. People here are so fond of watching these movies, listening to epics and praisi

Entrepreneur Entrepreneur Entrepreneur! everywhere

Economic Times has been publishing articles rampantly on entrepreneurship in India. Here are few links: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/jobs/youngsters-leave-cushy-jobs-to-take-up-farming/articleshow/8701590.cms http://www.citehr.com/341491-dalit-entrepreneurs-add-glitter-star-cast-india.html http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinion/india-emerging/rise-of-the-upwardly-mobile-entrepreneur/articleshow/8704054.cms and many more.. All such articles used to bring me shivers. All very inspiring, adventurous to the brink and motivating enough to make me feel to jump into entrepreneurship. But No more! I have been an entrepreneur myself for an year now and having lived the adventure I find myself on the same boat. These articles still inspire me but shivers are gone. The only difference between me and those mentioned in such articles is of success . Though success does not mean all, but rewards are always relishing. For last one year I have learnt a lot and h
