Seize the moment



Every day we keep running from one place to other… making ends meet so that we could live peacefully tomorrow. But, that tomorrow never comes!!

“Today is that tomorrow that made you worried yesterday…”


Change the way you think & see your life getting changed…

Here follows a short story:
A fisherman was sitting near seashore, under the shadow 
of a tree & enjoying his smoking. Suddenly a rich businessman passing by approached him and inquired as to why he was sitting under a tree smoking and not working. To this the poor fisherman replied that he had caught enough fishes for the day.
Hearing this, the rich man got angry and said: Why don’t you catch more fishes instead of sitting in shadow wasting your time?
Fisherman asked: What would I do by catching more fishes?
Businessman: You could catch more fishes, sell them and earn more money, and buy a bigger boat.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could go fishing in deep waters and catch even more fishes and earn even more money.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could buy many boats and employ many people to work for you and earn even more money.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could become a rich businessman like me.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could then enjoy your life peacefully.
Fisherman: Isn’t that what I am doing now?


You don’t need to wait for tomorrow to be happy and enjoy your life. You don’t even need to be richer, more powerful to enjoy life. LIFE is at this moment, enjoy it fully.


As some great men have said “My riches consist not in extent of my possessions but in the fewness of my wants”.


“Yesterday is gone…. Tomorrow is not assured of… we are only left with today…”

A Tribute to Kanchan Mam

Image
“It’s the petty things that matter the most in business” One of the most profound advices I’ve ever gotten in my entrepreneurial journey so far… M Kanchan- My Professor, Mentor, Advisor, Host and what not. She wore so many hats that I can’t even keep a count of. Room No.- 213 in Thapar School of Management, the cabin with the most peaceful vibes on the campus. If you go inside and mam is there, you’ll always be offered something to eat, the cabin was never empty. I feel so blessed that I had the privilege of having a person of her stature to help me with anything and everything whenever I felt stuck. I’ll miss the conversations I had with you, mam.. My heart just sinks on the thought that we can’t have any more calls. “ Bachche, you have to do everything in a startup, even the Jhadoo-Poncha.. You can’t spend even a single penny without considering it 10 times because if you do so, the startup will die.  It’s the petty things that matter.  The water bottle that you bought while...

That Depressing phase...

At times, you don’t know why… but, Life becomes a mess… You’re such a moron… that’s all you guess! Life becomes spark-less... & there is restlessness all around… You want to run away… but something keeps you bound! You feel directionless & emptiness from inside… & you have no idea how to express your side! You can’t enjoy anything because the will to do isn’t there… And you’re back to square one… thinking Life isn’t fair! Fighting against your own self is the toughest battle you’ll ever fight… Especially during this phase, when there’s no hope within sight! That’s the time when you need to make yourself a priority… Take good care of yourself & things will get better… that’s a surety! Do whatever that makes you feel at ease & comfortable… Stay in bed all day or eat whatever you like on the table… Nothing lasts forever… whether it’s good or bad… So, calm your nerves down… don’t get mad! Talk to your family & frie...

Merry Christmas!

Its 25 th December- Christmas!!! One of the favorite occasions of the kids! I still remember the time when I was too young & used to feel that Santa is going to come &  fulfill  all my wishes! :’) I’m sure, all of us used to believe that at some point of time in our earlier days!             Things changed, times changed & we have changed! We are now grown-ups… we now say Santa is just fictional character! We know no Santa is coming for us! Right?             Well, it’s not completely true! In this process of dealing with the reality, we missed one thing about Santa! Santa isn’t any fictional character… it resides in ourselves! Dreams are ours, wishes are ours, the problems are ours & the life is ours… so, why would someone else come to fulfil our wishes? It’s our own duty to make all this happen! All our wishes are going to be fu...
