After clear observation of so many actions I thought of taken, so many ideas I wanted to implement and all people around, I see that it is only “commitment” that is needed from any one to do almost anything.
You want to do good in job? Or setup a business, or be a doctor or something else, what ever it is all we need is commitment.
We have so many problems for doing every thing. Money, Time, Health, friends, contacts or some thing else, we say we don’t have. Solutions to all those problems are also there, infact we have many solutions to every single problem we have.
So why we are not taking the solutions and implementing? because we lack commitment. If we have commitment, one of the solution will surly be found and we can move on. As long as problem is not Commitment, there is no problem at all.
Even though I have so many dreams, I want to commit to one thing, Give the world the best accounting software. Better than anything else. After that I will look into my other dreams. But I will keep dreaming.
I feel guilty
- when ever I say I will do ‘so and so’ and did nothing about it.
- for using some one without properly rewarding them for it.
- did shout at some one, and learned that it(not shouting) was actually my mistake.
Of these, the first one is causing lot of pain these days. In last one year I think I might have booked more than 4 domain names for doing different kind of things. Most of all are dead now, I am not doing anything. The reason is simple to explain. I expected more out of my small acts. I stopped at the first sight of trouble.
Luckily, I do get lot of new ideas, and hopefully will try to work on some thing very seriously. Commitment is very imp for people like me.
What about you guys? Same story?
Last year we could hardly hear our TV sound between 9 to 10 Diwali day. We were pissed off and turned TV off. But this year, we could hardly tell that it is Diwali day at 10:30. It was complete silence at that time.
I am sure people have burnt < 50% of what they did last year. I am not sure what is the reason. Is it just that cost of crackers went high? or people getting wise?
Anyway I am happy, less sound pollution, and less money wasted.
If there is a question that I wanted to ask most to others and did not ask that is it. “DO YOU NEED A LIFT?”
On an average I get a chance to ask this question every day. But I almost never asked. I know that other person needs a lift. They know that I know(Assumption). I expect them to ask. They almost never ask. I think that they think that I wont give.
Whose responsibility is to break that loop? Do I have to wait until they ask?
When ever I was walking other than for the sake of walking, I always expected some one would ask that. But I know no one will ask. I hesitate to ask then for lift. I hope every one is thinking same.
Now lets think that I have changed, do you like some stranger in 30+ age stop by and ask “Do you need a lift?” what is the probability that you will agree? What if you are a Female(all ages)? What do you think about that person?
Please share your views… I have been thinking about it for very long time, I want to find a solution soon.
It happened many times. Many people said that I should stop thinking more and enjoy. Or stop doing some thing else that they thought I am doing and start enjoy life.
I don’t really know what they really mean by enjoyment. I define enjoyment as follows..
You have 5 to 10 times more money than what your present average is, and you still don’t change some thing that you are doing, then I say you are enjoying doing it.
For example, if your job is X and some one pays you 5 times your salary to do Y, but you still want to do X, then you enjoy doing it. That means while doing X you enjoy.
Simple is in’t it? Now fortunately for me, it is almost 90% of what I do. For some people it is going out on road. For some it is some thing else. For me, it is what I am doing already. I didn’t get much enjoyment when I saw Charminar for the first time(after 10 years in hyd). So each person gets enjoyment in different way.
So those people who keep suggesting that I should enjoy more, thank you for your concern, I really appreciate your intentions. But I am already enjoying my life.
I think there is some thing wrong in our culture when it comes to thinking about other people. May be I am exaggerating the issue.. But let me explain
We see Hero in movie takes money from all kinds of people and keeps running from them. We have seen it in many comedy movies. (Just now I was watching one of such movie). I wonder why we really enjoy that part. I know that we do enjoy, every one does. But why? Does cheating some one makes us happy? Does getting cheated makes some one happy? I am sure it wont.
If we see from the other person’s point view surly more than 90% of comedy films do not create any comedy.
Is this kind of behavior is inherent in our nature? Or is it some thing we acquire on the way?
I will surly do some experiments with kids(when they are available 
) to findout about it.
Some time back I have written a blog post that says that G+ is going to replace Facebook faster than anything. As many of you already seen it, I am totally wrong. Now the question is why did I thought it would happen first of all. May be it will happen in future, but how can we say it.
I don’t know what all features G+ is going to put into it. I don’t know how Facebook is going react to any of the features in G+. I don’t know in any sense what people want.(except what I want).
Now I see that the following are the reasons why I said what I said.
- For some reason, I was thinking that Facebook is evil, and Google is better than it.
- I have assumed that Google will do what I always thought, But I totally forgot, that what I wanted is a just a single feature that any one can do.
- Assumed that many people will think like me.
- It is almost impossible to predict the feature. Which I neglected.
Lets hope I will not do the same mistake again…
There is an article in IBNLive Blog which asks an important question. What is corrupt act and what is not? Where should we draw the line.
Corruption is closely related to rules and transparency. You put a wrong rule and remove transparency, every one will do that corrupt act without even thinking. You create a system where it is impossible to do the right act, or doing right act takes lot of time or money, then people will go and doing it wrong way.
So the Govt should find all these places with the following properties.. and make it steps to address them carefully.
- No transparency of anything.
- Right way is 100 times difficult than way.
- Is it basic fundamental right?(passport, gas, ticket)
- More than 30% do it in wrong way.
If a country is less corrupt then it has the following things in place, and because of them the corruption is less.
- Judiciary is fast and laws are strict
- There is no need for any corrupt act for 90% of daily needs of a person.
- Transparency is very high.
- Govt does not involve in business.
- Police does not need to listen to Politician.
Out of all this only Transparency is enough to remove every thing. Make every act transparent. Now see who will pay bribes, or who will take.
Try Try Try even if you fail again and again. I really believe in that. If we stop just because we have failed before, we will never be able to anything. So even after my previous attempt to do some thing for Loksatta Party have failed, I am trying to do some thing again this time.
My new initiative is to maintain a website(unbiased) for record keeping in politics. Yes it is for “RECORD KEEPING”. I want to record daily activities of political leaders, what they do, what they say in a organized searchable, comparable way.
http://politicaldiary.info
As I belong to IT industry, I want to contribute to the political world in this way.
The task is too big, very difficult, but not impossible. It is not possible to do it by one person. I need help from every person who can help me. So check the website(what ever you see now is done in <8 hours). If you think you can help me, contact me. Or even if you want to help me, but don’t know if you can or not, then also send me a message.
I think I have known enough history to understand what humans did to each other over last 3000 years. Seen enough war movies to understand the feelings of people who are involved in killing or get killed.
From the beginning I have a doubt, why do we always blame the leadership for what a country and its people did to other country and its people? There are lot of instances in our 3000 years of history where a country attacked other country and killed people in other country without any regard to human life. There are instances when one race thinks they are supreme than others and started killing all other people(in millions).
In those cases, who is wrong? Country is nothing but people and who is running it. One person can not do anything to any other country. He/She has to do it through people.
People still exist, and if we think we have not changed, then those instances can occur again and again. If we think people have changed, I would like to see one real proof of it. I have not seen it yet.
How long it will take for one particular set of people start believing that they are superior race compared to others?
