Hello Readers,

Everything that ever has made history has had the touch of class. That is exactly what our

authors have given their best to give to the writing that goes into our edition, while the ef-

forts of the design team is to always ensure the place where they get fit reflect designs that

seem parallel to the art of michaelangelo or leonardo da vinci.

Its definitely a very ambitious thing to think we could parallel designs to meet that elegance

and exquisiteness of the greatest artists who have walked the earth, but like is said and is

true, that if we never dreamt to break records we would never set new ones. Even more true

is that certain works are records that never get broken, for they dont have a measure like the

art that once existed and the eMagazine of ours.

So, with progressing dates on calendar we have cared and dared to dream higher and bigger.

We have successfully attracted serious readership and great contributions from our authors.

With our diligence we have been blessed with the time of some real celebrated leaders who

cared to share their stories with us, which adds further wings to our dreams.

We wont stop here, from an element of being a good read through to becoming a potential

platform for budding writers looking for a great kick-start, for established writers looking

for international readership, for advertisers looking for serious viewership, for those seeking

trigger in life and for those seeking the daily doze of solid inspiration we are everything that

you can ask when it comes to inspiring.

But, we are DREAMING BIGGER. Stay connected. Stay Inspired!

Cheers

How did you kick-start your journey in entrepreneurship?

During my 9th Grade I started working in an internet caf after my school hours whileusing internet free of cost during which I learnt about building websites. When I flunkedin Mathematics paper after a year and a half, my mom got to know about this and or-dered me to focus on my studies and I had no option to visit the cyber cafe again. Iwaited for my summer vacation and restarted all over. When I was a freelancer buildingwebsites for American companies, there was a company which asked for my CV (Cur-riculum Vitae) but later rejected saying that I was still 14 years old and they felt insecureto work with school kids. That was the moment in my life when I thought that the best

was to be my own boss rather than sending out CVs to others. Out of anger and frustra-tion, I decided that I would start a company on my own. I realized that if Bill gates couldstart a company then, even I could start mine. In India you cant start a company under18. Hence, I registered my company in the US with an investment of 100$ (Rs.5000) onAugust 5th, 2000. In the morning, I used to go to school and when the sun set here mywork day began. It was quite a fun! I ended up sleeping for just 4-5 hours a day. In thiswhole process I could manage my studies. I never felt exhausted because everything Idid was out of passion and there was fire in the belly. When you do something out ofpassion you can do that without eating or sleeping. Thats the beauty of passion!

How did you handle the challenge of scaling up your company?

As the work burden increased, I started to lookout for freelancers who could work withme fulltime and got 5 freelancers from US who were ready to work with me. There wassome kind of prejudice among my relatives and people in US as to why one should workunder someone who was half of his/her age. I was just 15 years old and all of themwere 28-29 years of age. Thats when I made it very clear that they werent working un-der me but I was working with them. At the age of 16, I realized that there was a huge

opportunity outside US in the non-English speaking market. Hardly any of the mid-sizedIT companies in India had an established presence in smaller countries of Europe likeAustria, France, Switzerland etc. We sensed the might of this unexercised opportunity.

Suhas Gopinath| Page3

Can you share one of the challenging experiences while building yourcompany?

An e-commerce company in Spain wanted to outsource some of their e-commerce work to another Spanish company. I had no idea of Spanish andused the translator to find out what the website was all about and sent them anemail. The project manager wasnt ready to outsource his work to a non -Spanish speaking company. I couldnt sleep the whole night. In my life I amalways proud of the fact that, I have never taken the word NO for anything .I sent an email to MBA students of an internship organization called ISAAC in

Spain who could speak both Spanish and English to know if they would work inan American startup. They were expecting a stipend of around 500 Euros butwe were operating in a bootstrap mode; so didnt have much cash to spend onthem. Out of the 5, 4 backed out but one was willing to work with us. We bothagreed that we would pay him 20% of the sale. He was lucky in the first saleitself wherein he personally made around 5 lakh rupees.

How do you manage your leadership role in sales?

I am a person who likes to lead from the back rather than leading from front. Iallow people to lead their teams and if they are falling somewhere, that is whenI would want to intervene and help. Then, I take the back seat. There was onepoint in my life when I had to lead from the front and I used to micro-manageeverything. I used to worry about little issues like water and electricity prob-lems. Now, I entrust responsibilities to others and make every employee feelthat he is the owner of the company. He feels that he is a part of the companyand also has the freedom to take decisions. As long as people makenew mistakes, innovative mistakes and dont repeat them I am all fine

with it. Meanwhile, during afternoon I make sure to meet the salesfolks. I do sales calls and ensure to meet my partners orfriends over lunch. I take care of strategic sales for thecompany which is of a larger impact like a deal withstate government or a large enterprise.

I keep meeting our employees to find out if they have any new ideas. New tech-

nologies keep coming up and the last thing I dont want to do is to be isolated

from the IT World because thats been my passion and thats why I have reached

this position.

How do you work with the marketing team amidst the constantly changing

market dynamics?

Our Sales and Marketing team are quite smart in identifying opportunities that

exist in the market. If there is no opportunity then the team will evaluate if we can

build an opportunity. We always believe that we cannot expect prospects to walk

in with problems and ask us to build a solution for them. Hence our approach is

to talk about all the problems that one is facing and build a solution to solve them.

The sales pitch is simple for us. We dont wish to speak to a customer saying that

we do all these things, we add value etc. We write to them saying that if they in-

vest in us then what would be the savings on their expenses which would impact

them in their PNL (Profit & Loss). Thats what excites them.

What are your thoughts on investment funds and geographic reach of a

company?

We have always made sure that we work with banks when we have funding re-

quirement. We approach investors who benefit strategically to the company. Wenever approach investors who cant add any value except money. We want i n-

vestors who are strategic, who are hand-holders and who can advise us. Coming

to geographical expansion, one should be very careful while setting up a partner

eco system. Opening an office outside can be at times frustrating because of the

accountability issues but if one ensures that he has the right managers and the

right team to look after and he has mechanisms through which he can validate

the activities there, it might fit in the plan. Aggressive follow-ups and constant

monitoring will be essential to get the work done.

Whats your message to our readers?

I think high school is the best age during which children can experiment the max-

imum. If I am healthy by sleeping for 5 to 6 hours, then I neednt sleep for 8 or 9

hours. Every minute is very important and one cannot simply afford to waste time

because anything you lose you can always regain except time. Always make

sure that you have the fire in your belly in any work that you do. Opt for the work

that youre passionate about where you can feel the fire in your belly. Passion

and attitude are more important than skill sets. One should have the sense of

ownership and an entrepreneurial spirit. Success happens when even in spite of

your nonexistence in this world you are still alive in everyones minds like Steve

jobs, Swami Vivekananda and other great men.

Introduction:I am an avid traveler, adventure junkie & en-

trepreneur from heart. My education has

mostly been in residential schools, away

from home for past 12 years. I completed myEngineering from MS Ramaiah Institute of

technology & an alumni of IIM-Lucknow.

Have worked with top online travel compa-

nies like Makemytrip.com & Yatra.com as

Travel consultant. I believe in my life, win-

ning is important but to me the journey is

more meaningful. I constantly pursue what

makes me feel happy and what could make

others happy in the process too. I love to

travel as much as to experience the best of

places, write them as how i feel and click

them to showcase the beauty that exists. I

am now the Founder of start-up called Hon-

eymoon Havens.

you can always make people feel special. That's how I started.

What is the unique thing that you have in your business? Why do you

think that people should approach you?

We are not a typical travelling company which does the package and otherthings. We are people who understand the couple first. We understand who theyare, where they come from, what their dreams have been etc. A lot many timesan individual carries a lot of dreams but when a situation demands him toachieve or be at that dream destination, three things come to him. One, I don'thave leaves from the company. Second is financials, where they say, I wish Ihad enough funds to go to Switzerland or any other dream place. Third thing isthat they don't have clarity. Whoever is about to get married, I make them un-derstand that it is still possible by a systematic planning. If the couple is planninga year in advance to travel to their dream destination, then its very logical be-cause the expenditure can be afforded by monthly savings. Couples spend lav-ishly on food, hall and other stuff at weddings. I always advocate people to keepsomething for their dreams, for their life and for their happiness. I take up a per-sonal conversation. So it's very unique. We dont do honeymoon packages foreveryone. We do honeymoon package for those who understand that it'sabout special moments. We arrange for candlelight dinner, scuba diving

etc. We make them have a nice amazing time.

I believe in talking to people. I asked myself as to what I can do in terms of serv-ing people. I loved travelling. After my engineering, I got an opportunity to under-stand about entrepreneurship. I was academically very sound and efficient. So,there was always a kind of confidence and zeal which was actually a problem. Ihad a lot of offers in hand. Usually, people good in studies are very likely to getinto a job. I didn't like the concept of job. Thats when we started a company wayback in 2009-10 and that was into adventures. I am a very adventurous guy. I lovescuba diving, bungee jumping and all sorts of things.

Then, I worked with makemytrip.com. That was the biggest breakthrough for thefact that I understood the industry. As an entrepreneur, idea fascinates, thingslook very bright initially but the worst part is about the processes. I got the privi-lege of meeting the CEO of makemytrip.com for 15 minutes and that was the turn-ing point.

I like people smiling. I like them being happy. I am a kind of a guy who likes tomake people happy. But in travel, not many things are there where you can makepeople happy. It's a typical travel. So I decided to do something unique. I foundmy friends who were getting married and some who were about to get married. Icame out with an idea of doing something in the space of honeymoon. In the firstmonth itself we had good number of clients. Since bringing two individuals togeth-er and making it more special for them is a time affair, a whole idea from out-of-the-box thinking came out. Honeymoon is the most romantic side of life, where

bag behind. I was doubtful about my strength but managed to complete thetrek as an individual three hours prior to the person who was second to me.They wanted us, as a group, to stay together and climb. Till one point we weredoing that but I was feeling that I was going slowly. After sometime, I decidedto go fast. From that part it took about 6 hours to reach the final point. I wasabout to reach the top and when I turned back, there was nobody. I just had a

narrow slip which is a scary thought even today. I managed to finish it. I hadthat tear, which came very naturally to me. The confidence that came in methat day was humongous. From there, the kind of life I have lived is a testimonyto the confidence that I gained. I was a PCM topper and CET and achieved afree seat in MSRIT (a college in Bangalore), I then did Network marketing for 3years which was a fantastic experience. I knew again that it was a challengingpath of convincing people. I was enjoying life with each phase. I finished myengineering.

When you started, did your parents hold you back or did they encourageyou?

They didn't stop me. I spoke to my dad and told him that I am a kind of guywho believes in self and I knew the path I was choosing. I assured him that Iwouldnt do anything wrong. My parents are very supportive. After my MBAfrom IIM Lucknow, I started getting lucrative projects from abroad which lookamazing because that's the safer side. But my parents have always given mefreedom and that has been my strength. They know that it is not just about the

money because I know I can make money anyway. They understand that I amvery clear about my path. It's the clarity with which an entrepreneur speaks tohis parents which becomes the differentiating factor.

Are you looking to expand your business? How are you going to do it?

At the moment, we have some amazing requests coming from Pune andMumbai. It is a very good market. We also did a package for Bansali family i.e.,Sanjay Leela Bansali (Famous Director of Bollywood) family. We have someamazing clientele. I am trying to build a brand as of now. Once we achieve itwe will go only through word of mouth. Our marketing channel will be only that.So, we would want to expand very organically, but a little slowly. We are look-ing for an investor very soon. We presently are looking at a small fund whichwe require to expand ourselves in terms of online operations where we are try-ing to build a very sober system.

Your message to our readers:

Ideas are always fascinating. Best way to move forward is by having more re-jections, readiness to accept the negative comments. Whenever somebodycriticizes my work, I always look as to how to make it better. Take negativethings in a positive way and be very clear. Having clarity is so important.


Adventure filled romantic love: A girl is usually scared of heights but she actuallywould love to try it out once. The best way to try it out is with someone whomshe is relying for the rest of her life. So that's where "Honeymoon havens"comes into picture. We suggest people the best destinations. Honeymoon ha-vens specializes in taking people to unknown destinations where you and yourbetter half are only there.

If someone comes three months before the wedding where in the funds are al-ready allotted, I still make sure that they get that experience, they get that sup-port as a travel planner of knowing how can they save money and still get thatexperience. Within the budget, we make it so special that the girl doesn't knowwhat the guy has planned for her. A small cake, a wine, champagne, a candle-light dinner at the hotel is what she asks for. People are talking to others aboutour concept and helping us out. So that's what I believed in. People should talkgood and the word is spreading.

We are only four. We are a small company with a lot of passion. We are not do-ing it for the entire world. We are very choosy. We are going to the first circlecontact.

How did you guys come together?

We didn't know each other before but today we are friends. In a conversationthat we were having, we understood that the passion was alike. There was a

point where we shared our future vision. These four people are unconditionallywith me.

Childhood days:

My childhood days were very tough. I was a very notorious kid. My parents hada real tough time convincing me to study. I always liked being the attention ofthe world. The turning point came when my parents decided that this kid needsa better place which is a hostel. It's been 14 years since I am away from home. Idid my schooling in "Shree Rajeshwari Vidyaniketan", which is a residentialschool near Hulkoti (a place in Karnataka). While I stayed away, I understoodthe importance of my parents. I valued education. After my class 10, the biggestturning point was when I joined Coorg public school. It was India's 4th best resi-dential school then. So, my parents actually sacrificed everything they had onlyfor my future. I was truly moved. I topped my college in the 2nd year of my PreUniversity.

When I was in my first year PUC (Pre-University College) in 2003-04, we went to

Manali adventure camp. It was a 15 days camp. I was a very lean guy with noconfidence and belief in myself. When I went to the camp I was with 15 to 20people from different places. In those 15 days, I had a real test of enduranceand mental stability. We had to climb a hill of around 8000 feet high with heavy

Q. Who is your inspiration to start MAD?

Jithin C Nedumala(JCN): During my second year of college, I started teach-ing a bunch of boys from YMCA poor boys home in Cochin. The most capablekid in my class decided to drop out of 10th standard and started working in anartificial limb manufacturing company because he had studied in a vernacularmedium school till 10th standard and after 10th he was expected to study inEnglish medium. This incident triggered me to start an organization whichwould help vulnerable children achieve equitable outcomes just like the rest ofus.

Q. What makes you passionate about your work?

JCN: Imagine somebody gave you the opportunity to leave the world a lot bet-ter than you had found it, wouldn't you take it? MAD gave me the opportunityto support and empower the most vulnerable children in India and, knowing itis possible keeps me going.

Q. What do you do in the down time, if you have ever faced one?

JCN: I have had couple of bad days. After a point, I stop thinking about it, reada book, catch up with friends and just relax. The next day, I wake up early inthe morning with a clear mind and find a way to work around it.

Q. What style of working have you adopted? Do you work continuouslyor do you work with leisure?

JCN: I literally live in my office. Should I say more!

Q. What type of qualities do you look for in young executives?

JCN: 1. Sense of urgency 2. Ability to get things done without any support 3.Solve problems in smart ways

Q. Which area of business are you concentrating more on?

JCN: I am responsible for the overall organization's performance. I focus onthe projects that need to happen a year from now.

Q. What type of executive do you prefer, cautious or maverick?

JCN: Maverick, we need to be open to failure and that's the only way toachieve disruptive results.

Q. How did you reach this position?

JCN: By giving what it takes to Make a Difference and nothing less.

Q. What are your "career aspirations"?

JCN: I want to ensure that every vulnerable child in India has a safe place to goto. That's probably my career goal.

Q. Do you believe in Luck or Hardwork or both? Why?

JCN: I know luck is going to play a very big role in my life but I believe in hand-work because the effort I put in is one thing that I can control that has the abilityto change the outcomes.

Q. What were the problems which you faced while establishing your ven-ture?

JCN: Getting people to take me seriously when I told them that I wanted tochange the way India treated its most vulnerable children. They thought that abunch of 19 year olds wouldn't be able to do it.

Q. Have you ever felt overloaded?

JCN: Quite often, because every year we are doing things which we had neverdone before.

Q. How do you handle pressure?

JCN: I think of the worst that could have happened and most of the times it isn'tall that bad. Hence I don't get worked up about it.

Message: India is 119 among 169 countries in United Nation's Human Devel-opment Index (HDI), 2010 due to poor social infrastructure, mainly in areas ofeducation and healthcare.

India has the largest young population in the world; 42 per cent of thepopulation is below 18 years of age but 40% of Indias estimated 440 million chi l-dren are in urgent need of care and protection.

India has some of the best problems in the world and we need thebest minds in the world to be working in the social space to solve them. And I

know they will be solved when the top minds of this country are focusing on solv-ing them. So think hard before you choose your career. What wouldyour legacy be, solved one of India's most pressing problems orincreased Colgate's market share from 30 to 35%.

Introduction:Jithin C Nedumala is the CEO and Co-founder of Indias largest youth teacher network: MAD (Make a Differ-ence). MAD(http://makeadiff.in/) employs 2300 high potential college students from top 50 colleges in the

Whats the status ofYUVA at present?

We totally have 650 plus volunteers. We have a new chapter in Ludhiana. I haveproposals from 8 different cities now. I want to start affiliated chapters. We needto meet our new volunteers, train them, then one chapter starts.

Being the founder, whats your core work?

I do only 20% of my organisation work. I am very clear about my vision. Leader-ship is all about knowing your competency and what is not. I focus on what is ex-isting and whether we are walking in the same path or not. In terms of operation, Itotally leave it to my team. They decide whether they want to do literacy-campaign or littering-campaign or they want to do anti-drugs campaign or anti digcampaign or they want to do for children or old aged. Do what touches your heart,do what you feel like makes a change is my philosophy. Until you don't give own-ership confidently to them, they will not grow. They will not enjoy it. They won't doit. We need to connect with people not control them. When we are connected topeople, it's much more beautiful. With more people coming together, bigger theopportunity and great things can happen.

How do you people work in YUVA?

We have weekly meetings which are never less than three hours. In those threehours, two hours we keep laughing. That keeps it very lively. At the end of it we

ask these questions: Was the meeting productive?, Did we achieve our obje c-tive?, Are we having fun?, Are we doing something better? and we ensurethat the answer to all these questions is YES! We do Harlem Shake, Flash moband crazy things to attract crowd. It's an entertainment package. We try innovat-ing new ways to surprise which is an attraction and all these are very critical andkey to the youth. Old things bore them.

How are the programs of YUVA?

We have YUVA running in different colleges. We call each college a chapter. Theorientation event which happens before starting a chapter that usually soundsboring, starts attracting students towards it. We have activities like light music,singing, skit, Harlem shake etc in our orientation programs which youngsters wantto participate in. How people come doesn't matter. What matters is how people goback. We have to leave that person with a conscience inside him of doing some-thing for the society, of being a person of responsibility, of being value oriented.When you make a job creative, when you redefine, when you say thatthere's no boundary is when creativity comes out.

How did you start YUVA?

My friends and I were on a college trip to Rajasthan in a bus. The tr ip started inthe morning at 6am. We were 18 year olds at that time. In such trips peoplegenerally play antakshari or dumb charades or you get busy pulling each oth-er's leg. It was a ten hours of journey and you will go mad if you keep doing

that for 10 whole hours. So we started debating. We started discussing on In-dia's favourite topic, love marriage or arranged marriage. Then we went to oth-er topic of Live-in relationship or live-out relationship. Eventually, we came tothe question as to What is success? Everyone sha red their stories. Then werealised that success comes to only those who help others become successful.All of us felt bad that we hadnt done much in life.

Once we reached back Bangalore nobody made a single call to other. Every-one was pumped with the question- What have we done so far? God gives usa lot of opportunities. It depends on us as to how much we encash, how muchwe bank on. We decided to do our bit to this world. That was the initial philoso-phy. The first activity was in an eye camp. In the camp, we met a 113 year oldlady with a hunch back of 90 degrees. She walked all by herself with the sup-port of her stick. We also saw an abandoned 6 year old girl with a visual defect.We realised that there are many lonely people with health and financial prob-lems. We saw the actual reality of life way different from what we had learnt inschool.

In the next activity, we visited an orphanage. While talking to those kids weasked them as to what they wanted to be in future. One guy answered that hewanted to become like Sir. M Vishwesharaiah (Famous engineer) and anotherboy said that he wanted become like Rajnikanth (Famous actor). When askedWhy? a 6 yearold boy said that, "these two were born in the same dirt thatwe were born in and from there they became icons and are hope for us that wealso have chances to become like them." We went to inspire them but wecame out inspired. In spite of growing in such a demotivating environment theirhopes hadn't died.

With every camp more people joined us and the group grew. A group of 11 be-came 20. 20 became 40 and it started growing. That's when we decided tostructure our organisation. We divided our work and funded it from our pocketmoney. After a year, 5 remained out of 11. We 5 were determined not to stop it.As one year went by, we did many activities, created a structure, oriented toget more people know about it. After third year two left and only three of uswere remained. That's when God held our hand. We created a good plannedstructure where in first year you join us, second year you volunteer, third year

you mentor your juniors and so on. In the last 5 years that's how we havemanaged to grow YUVA in a massive way.

That's why people from my organisation could organise a 50,000 people event

in one year. They formulated, they executed, they marketed, they PRd. They

did everything. It came in every national newspaper such as Times Of India,

Deccan Herald, TV, online etc. These were 18 year old students. No one

charged, no one was paid for it. The only way that happens is when they take

up the responsibility telling that, It's my event and I want to make it happen.

When a group of people come together with this ideology, they need a plat-

form. A platform can't be a person. It has to be a cause. We need to ensure

that they are working towards the cause. I tell them that even if you leave

YUVA and join another organisation, it doesn't matter to us. Go ahead and do

it. Till you are doing it, I am successful. The day you stop it, saying that youre

busy in your business all of us fail.

Your message:Dharma protects the one who protects dharma. Do the right thing and you willget your reward. You need to have passion towards anything you do.

I am from a small village. My father was the "Shaanbhoga" of our village. Istudied in Doddaballapura (a place near Bangalore, India). I had inferioritycomplex. I was afraid of talking to people. In 1964-65, my most beloved sisterpassed away. My life took a big turn because of that incident. I started takinglife more seriously. When something starts disturbing you, you actually becomemore serious.

My father used to read the books written by "Kumara Vyasa"(Famous Indianauthor). That influenced me a lot. I started to learn his poems and stories. Istudied in a government school. I studied PU in National college. Later I took

up LLB. At that time, when I was 19 years old, I lost my father. So I went backto agriculture as even my father was an agriculturist.

When you feel inferior, you want to come into lime light somehow and gatherconfidence. Even I wanted to do something that could bring me in lime light. Iwas very interested in Dramas. Mr. Lankesh (My guru) saw my drama. He wasa professor in Central college. He started giving me main roles in all his dra-mas. I was in hostel and there also many influenced me.

How did you come from there to this profession?

I have written many dramas. There was the 100th show running in Madras ofthe drama that I had written. At that time Mr. Puttana Kanagal was presentthere. He was taking rest in Chennai as he had just then recovered from aheart attack. He was very much impressed looking at my drama. He asked meto write dialogues and screen play for his next movie. I agreed and worked fora movie called" Manasa sarovara". Then, I got a chance to work for anotherfilm of his by name "Dharani mandala madhyadolage". After that I wrote for Mr.

Nagabharana. By that time Doordarshan channel had started. That acted like aplatform, for all the people who were into dramas, to step into the TV soapsworld.

Earlier, in Doordarshan they used to telecast a show once a week .i.e. on every

Tuesday. We were supposed to end a serial after 13 episodes. Yearly 4 suchsoaps used to come. That was the slot allotted for soaps. I started with a soapcalled "Mukha mukhi". Then I did another one called "Sphota". Usually nobodyused to take up politics issues. But I used to do because I had an opportunity towatch political moves very closely. During Indira Gandhi's time, they had calledfor an "Emergency". I was imprisoned as I stood against "Emergency". Manywere behind bars by opposing it then. So I was confident and took up this subject.It became popular as it was unusual.

Then I applied asking for a slot for "Mayamriga". We were supposed to give a pi-

lot episode. Only if that got selected could we be able to take it forward. For mysurprise they rejected it. Mayamriga was rejected. Then I went to the Director ofthe Doordarshan and asked him to watch it once. He had good knowledge of lit-erature. When he saw, he approved it and asked me to start the soap. It createdhistory.

Writing field is very unglamorous. People come and take your autographwhen they see you on screen. People who work off screen are hardly recognised.So there are very few writers today. Hence, there is a huge demand for goodwriters today.

What was the toughest situation that you faced in your life?I had signed as a guarantor for somebody's loan, to start a factory. That persontook his money and absconded. On the day of my marriage, I got summons fromthe court. Then I had no option but to run that factory. I did that till I could clear itsloan for 13 years.

Many dream of becoming an actor. What do you want to tell them?

Dreams are always fascinating. Many want to enter the field of acting. I appreci-ate. Do anything you want after you complete your studies.

Message:Don't enter a field because you think it is good. Enter it only when you know it isgood and youre sure of doing it.

1. A for Ant!

If the person mentoring you says, it's A for Ant, Believe it is! You

might have learnt it's A for Apple and not Ant which is also true but Afor Ant applies as well. Don't lose your mental energy in arguing andjustifying why it is so. Your Mentor is wise enough to teach you. Be-lieve in him and move forward. You will realize in the course of jour-ney, why he said so.

2. Can I help you?

Not all who walk into your life might be your friends/soul mates ( Istill wonder what that is)/ best buddies. You will meet many like dewwho will at times make you blue. You wouldn't be able to see -through, be wise enough to unscrew. Haven't you got a clue? Makefriends with a few. (Sorry for the terrible poetry)What I am trying to say is, Connect with the World, Network with amillion, Help a thousand, Stay answerable to a ten.

3. Learn - Un-learn - Relearn

The title says it all. At all points of time, have the readiness to learnwhen you are taught. Be more ready to un-learn when said so andre-learn with the same spirit. Light is a wave, Light is a particle. Lighthas a dual nature. The definitions changed with time. So how manyplanets do we have in the Solar system? :)

4. I want to be a Jack of all Trades.

If this is you, let me tell you, I am also like you. There is always aright time for anything to be done. You might have a hundred inter-ests, my friend, but what needs to be done now is more importantthan what can be done. Keep up to your priorities and commitmentsfirst. Do Delay Dump Delegate. One of the 4 D's should be the an-swer when faced with a question.

5. Where am I heading?

If you have ever played a game of Mario, you can relate well. Any-

ways, let me explain. When you are playing a game, what mattersis, to reach the destination, no matter what comes your way. Ducks,ants, bricks, fire balls, arrows and the rest coming your way reallydon't matter as what stays in your mind continuously is to win thegame. Similarly in this game of life, it is very important to have aclear purpose in mind. It's when the Goal is clear is when your mind

aligns to it and the heart is ready to believe, your actions will speak.Let no thorns irritate you, stop you or disappoint you.

6. I want the egg to hatch TODAY?

No matter what you do, certain things take time. Have patience.Your work might not be paid off immediately but it will certainly bepaid off someday. Give your best and be not concerned about theresults. Your work will fetch it's reward when the right time comes.No work goes waste. Someday the egg will hatch.

7. "I don't want to rise today. I am so bored of coming up everyday" says the SUN.

Will that be ok with you? If yes, drop me a mail! If no, read on.Each one of us have been bestowed with a responsibility. We needto be committed in fulfilling them. You are counted on for a particu-lar task to be done. Make sure you do it.

8. E-X-P-E-C-T-A-T-I-O-N

Have expectations out of yourself and not from others. Be respon-sible and accountable to finish what is given. No one can walk yourpath. You need to carry yourself when you fall and walk it through.Do not expect people to lift you through the desert. Face the stormand be a strong sailor. If lucky enough you might find a voice whichmight give you a direction.

9. A pinch of Salt

A pinch of Salt ...can disappoint your taste-buds, spoil your mood,and bring down your bank balance and a lot more :) When you'reworking in a team, the most important factor that takes the highestplace is Communication and Coordination. More than the work youdo, what matters is your report. You might spoil the recipe of suc-cess if your report of how much was done was incorrect.

10. H for Happiness

I need a break to fill in happiness. I need to go for a vacation. Ineed to spend time with friends. I need to be alone. Good Luck.You are digging your own well. It's when you find happiness in yourwork is when you will be the happiest person in the world. 75 % ofa persons life consists of Work. If you cannot enjoy what you'redoing, you can never be happy. Love yourself and live life!

7. With an adverbial clause:Although Lady Charlene wished toplease the King, she dressed for the ball anyway.

8. To differentiate a clause that conflicts the statement: KingMark was used to having his orders followed, not being ig-nored by a mere slip of a girl.

9. To set off a non-restrictive clause (aka which): The ball,which is only held once a year, was the opportunity many la-dies took advantage of to find a suitable husband.

10. To separate a list of items or adjectives: Lady Charleneflungher dress, her jewelry , and her slippers out of the tower win-dow in a rage.

The last comma is called the Oxford comma. Some writersleave off that last comma, but it denotes the last item on thelist. Without it, the last two items become one entity. The buffetat the ball would feature roast lamb, venison , grilled herbbread and cheese. Switch the sentence around: The buffet at

the ball would feature roast lamb, venison, grilled herb bread,and cheese. Is grilled herb bread and cheese one item? Ortwo? Depends on where you put the comma.

1. To separate introductory phrases from the main sentence:Knowing Prince Cedric would be at the ball, Lady Charlenechose her dress carefully.

2. To separate two independent clauses: Lady Charlene took along bath, and she perfumed her hair. These two sentencescould stand alone.

3. When opening a sentence with a gerund used to describe ac-tion by the subject: Grinning, the servant stepped aside.Breathing hard, he dug the hole deep enough to bury thebody.

4. To break out description of a subject: Hair washed and pulledback into curls, Lady Charlene called for her handmaiden tobegin dressing. OR Lady Charlene, hair washed and pulledback into curls, called for her handmaiden to begin dressing.

5. To separate dialogue or any quotation from its tag: You cantmean that, Lady Charlene wailed. OR The King announced,Lady Charlene will not be attending the ball.

6. To denote a directive from its target: Stop hitting , Jason hasa very different meaning from Stop hitting Jason.

makes them smile when they think about you are your FRIENDS!

(And now your mind should be scanning amongst the 500+FB listto know who are your true friends ;)

A friend is a friend whom you just met yesterday and felt youveknown the person since ages! Even when you felt the whole ofearth was against you and Heaven above opened towards you,Friends are those Angels God choose to be your brother or sister.You may not have to talk to your friends for days, weeks or a yearbut on the day you talk to them you wouldnt stop talking. A pe rson,who knew your past, believes in your future and accepts you exact-ly the way you are today. Truly words fall short to define friends.

So my tips for you today is to connect with old friends, give your Hi-Bye friends a genuine smile, plan an outing with those you want tohang out with or simply just listen and give your ear to a friend.

After all Friendship day was not meant to be celebrated only oncein a year!

Stay Friendly!

If you are reading this, then you have already glanced at your Fa-

cebook homepage to know your friends updates, if not, you needstart increasing your Friends List!

Its this season, when you change your profile picture, you get100+likes ,and then you actually forced to check at least 20 timeson your own display pic to realize there are Hundred friends orfans out there who you are not personally in touch with but wholiked the pic! yippee!

Now what happens if your best friend hasnt liked it? Or yourclose buddies never checked their status. And whats this bestfriend, close friend, true friend, good fr iend all about?!!

Well, let me tell you my definition, Friends are those who see onlythe stars in your eyes and never the wrinkles around them.Friends are those that even after youre done with college daysand more than two years have passed by, they ping you remem-bering your college crush. Friends are those who preserves and

cherishes the wallet or the pretty bracelet, a snapshot of wordsyou scribbled on the college table and all your naughtiness that

Is it smooth or rough? Does it have a smell? How does thefood taste? Is it hot or cool, spicy or mild? Are you enjoyingit?

Get lost in a piece of music. Listen closely to the melody, toevery note and harmony, to the rise and fall of phrases in thesong. Pay attention to how the music makes you feel. Does itbring you joy or sadness? Does it make you want to move orbe still?

You can even practice mindfulness while walking. Just walkalong and listen to the sounds you hear. Look closely at yoursurroundings. Focus on your breath. Breathe deeply and feelthe air fill your lungs. Feel the heat of the sun or the coolnessof a breeze on your skin. Feel the grounds firmness or soft-ness beneath you as you take your steps forward.

Mindfulness is an uncomplicated and powerful tool that ena-bles you to live in the present and get in touch with your dayto day experiences. With a small amount of effort to be mind-ful of individual moments, you can reap great rewards. Livingin the moment by practicing mindfulness can help you gain adeeper appreciation of life and connect with reality and your-self.

Sometimes we have a difficult time being present and living inthe moment. We find ourselves thinking about the past or fo-cusing on the future. These thoughts often overwhelm us andprevent us from fully savoring the present moment. They canalso make us feel disconnected from our lives. One way toremedy this is to be mindful of individual moments.

Practicing mindfulness is a simple way to live in the presentand get in touch with yourself and your environment. It canwork wonders in your life and bring you clarity. When you aremindful of the moment, you are better able to notice the fullnessof reality and the intensity of your experiences in life.

Mindfulness does not have to be a difficult exercise or a chore.It is easy to achieve and brings many benefits. All it takes is ashift in your attention away from thoughts of the past or the fu-ture. Focus instead on the details your senses perceive. Justtake a few seconds to really feel the moment.

Bring your attention to something in your environment. It can bethe pages of the book you are reading, the grass you are sittingon, or the food you are eating. Note how the pages of the bookfeel between your fingers. Run your hand through a patch ofgrass and feel its texture. Focus on a single blade of grass.

Patience.. Push through it, you can never give up. The greatthing about a dream, you can never fail. It might just become

different in the way you envisioned it. You might love it forthe different reasons you had hoped. But to love is a suc-cess; it gives you wings to achieve anything. If you want itbad enough you can make it happen, dont let excuses blockyour view. It is not always sun shine and roses; it takes tears,sometimes many, hard long, tears. But know it is for a rea-son. Most of all, you need faith and belief, not only in thedream, but also in the dreamer. Say to yourself there is noway I can live without you! Grab it by its gorgeous face andkiss it until it surrenders. And like a relationship you mightneed some guidance, advice, and assistance from others.Yes never be shy to ask for help - It takes a village to raise adream I always say! Remember the boy never gets the girl or vice versa, its the persistence, charming, infatuated boywho gets the girl, the boy who will risk everything to have hisdream, to make her his forever. Brace yourself dream herewe come

When we are young, small and petite our dreams started off ohso large, exciting and impossibly amazing - What happened?

Some may say life, reality, you grow up or out of dreams ... Isay nonsense!

In todays life with all the super technology, impossibly smartpeople, where ever you are, whoever you are, at any age youcan find a dream, dream a dream and work toward it. Within theprocess of managing your dream you will discover it not onlychanges, grows and becomes almost tangible, but it becomeslike a companion. I compare it to a relationship. You see (envi-sion) it, fall in love, flirt a little, want to get to know it you haveto take the first step to get to know it.. Dont you? Say Hellodream my name is _. Ive been admiring you for a while Then figure out how you are going to turn your vision into a re-lationship. Once you are acquainted you talk a little, figure outwhat makes it tick, its likes and dislikes. Sometimes you figureout okay this dream is going to need some finesse and a wholelot of patience!A dream, like a bond between people takes onestep at a time, hours of work, love, passion, endurance,

fighting, dedication, hard times and the good times.

Eating too much sugar, particularly fructose, and toomany grains. The average person is consuming about75 grams of fructose per day. Fructose, especially inthe form of fruit drinks can devastate your immune sys-tem.

Gastrointestinal System. Your gut is where 80 percentof your immune system lies. When you have a bad dietyou are compromising your gut and in turn, your im-mune system. Sugar is 'fertilizer' for pathogenic bacte-ria, yeast, and fungi that can set your immune systemup for an assault by a virus. Reducing your sugar in-take is CRUCIAL for optimizing your immune system.Also, reducing your fruit intake will reduce your sugarload.

Vitamin D deficiency, as a result of insufficient sun ex-posure. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2010did a randomized trial of vitamin D supplementation to

prevent seasonal influenza A in schoolchildren andfound: "That vitamin D3 supplementation during thewinter may reduce the incidence of influenza A, espe-cially in specific subgroups of schoolchildren." Directsunlight is an even better way of getting vitamin D.

Not getting enough rest. Rest and sleep is paramountto healing. Rest is needed for the anabolic system ofhealing and repair.

Insufficient exercise. Movement enhances brain func-tion. Vigorous exercise as in high intensity intervaltraining will improve your oxygenation and vascular ef-ficiency of your body.

Emotional stressors. Reducing stress and eliminating

as much as possible will take your body out of sympa-thetic stress. Stress is known to alter immune function.

There are many other strategies than vaccine to bolster yourimmune system. When you focus on improving your healthwith diet, rest, and activity, your overall health improves.

For those 65 and older the influenza vaccine helped in just 9% ofcases, a number too low to be statistically significant, according toa report in the CDCs Weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report re-

leased Thursday. The study was based on a survey of 2,697 chil-dren and adults by the U.S. Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Net-work from Dec. 3, 2012, through Jan. 19, 2013.

While this years flu season has been moderately severe for thegeneral population, in people over 65 were seeing a pretty severeyear, said Joe Bresee, chief of the epidemiology and preventionbranch in the CDCs influenza division.

Researchers dont know why the vaccine was unhelpful for olderpeople. In reality their immune systems are less responsive to initi-ating an immune response. We know that any vaccine, includingflu vaccines, is less effective as you get older, Bresee said. So whydo we continue with vaccinations when there are many other im-portant lifestyle changes to make?

Overall, the vaccines effectiveness for everyone older than 6months was 56%, just slightly lower than the 62% that had been

estimated earlier in the season. This seasons vaccine containsprotection against three flu strains: H3N2, influenza B and H1N1.The vaccine was 67% effective against influenza B in adults over65 but only 9% effective against H3N2, the CDC found.

Despite the feeble protection, the CDC is still urging the elderly toget vaccinated. They're among those most vulnerable to life-threatening complications from the flu, and some protection is bet-ter than none.

Why Vaccinate When It Doesnt Help?When you dig into the literature you will find a number of stud-ies that evaluate the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine.Cochrane Database Systems Review; 2010 July 7; "Influenzavaccines have a modest effect in reducing influenza symp-

toms and working days lost. There is no evidence that theyaffect complications, such as pneumonia, or transmission.

I walk alone this deserted streetWith thorns hurting my feetBound by the shackles of lonelinessI feel by life in a complete mess

Deep within is an alienated soulWith overwhelming emotions that are difficult to control

Battling the struggle of emotions and mindI feel my life so confined

Heart thrives when i hear the message alert bellBut there's a message that reads "Airtel"Expectations turn out to be in vainBut I have no one to blame

For I have experienced sleepless nightsWondering what's wrong and rightAll the tears that rolled down my eyesEyes now wait for a beautiful sunrise

Take away this pain is not what I sayGive me the strength to go along this way

Doesn't matter if I am aloneI will go on to be amongst the most known

Depression is just for a whileWon't let my any effort go futileI will step ahead with dreams in my eyesEven though if its a journey of miles

Loneliness

Walk along tiny-tiny stepsTo create some steps,Don't let your inner self lit-off,It will let you move on...

Stars shine,Clouds thunder,What are you going to do?A mark to create a historyYou are liable to walk to n fro

Your vibes are slithering,Your throat is chocked,Let alone the mountains comeSo that you can rock...

Bang on,Move on,Don't stop and cry,For every man has its day,Yours is on the way

"Live the life you have chosen for yourself,.....don't compromise..."

Move on

A smile thats never stolen

A relation thats always woven

A wish thats no far

A demand thats only fair

A dream thats never too big

A little love thats always a gig

A life thats no long enough

A moment that only engulfs

A fear that never sticks

A tear, that in no way hurts

A kiss that only comforts

A home that always fosters

A warmth thats never cold

A tact thats always bold

A mind thats never still

A brave heart thats always lull

A word thats never borne

A crown thats always worn

A commitment to learn

A shoulder ever ready to lean

A sick mind thats never mine

A trust thats always on cloud nine

A beginning thats apparently mine.

I had seen thine growing shoots;Thou saved me in the rainswhile I rested in thy shade,The peace of mind, you gave methat nobody have ever had;

The Inspirational TreeChanging colourThy old leaves in Autumn,Fragile feathery fall downand touch the bottom;Thine newborn greeny leaveswelcome then the spring,And on thy branchesBirds celebrate and sing;In my worried working daysThou replenish me with elation,Thou art not a tree, I saybut a growing inspiration.
