Life Lessons Learned so far


1. Be true to yourself and live an honest life. If you are true to yourself, you'll be able to make decisions based on your strengths and Weakness. Living an honest life creates fewer hassles and increases your focus.

2. Complaints, Gripes, Rants and Criticizing never helps. If there is a problem, look for solutions

3. Learn to say No - and this comes from an Indian -- who have terrible time saying NO. Saying NO is easy; my 3 year old daughter teaches me every day!

4. Don't ever stop dreaming or thinking Big. It makes a huge difference.

4. Staying Positive is easier than most people realize. The worst that can ever happen is you going back to basics or drawing board in Crisis!

5. Accept Change as Change = Constant. 

6. It's OK to make mistakes. You learn a lot from your mistakes then you would ever learn from your success.

7. Get out of your comfort zone every now and then and challenge yourself. There is no better learning curve when you trade the waters of uncertainties.

8. be passionate about what you do -- Don't think off success rather focus on excellence.

9. Money is renewable source of energy if you keep your health intact. (This is from someone who is bad in following this lesson)

10. Time is everything. Time is the only non-renewable source of energy. Utilize it to your maximum.

11. Fear Not. Fear is something that you have to embrace it without resisting it or fighting it. Fear definitely subsides once you have faced it.

12. Spent time with the people that matters to you in life. Connect with People who share the same vision and goals in life.

13. A look at a documentary on PBS on India, China or 80% of the world population would tell you that one doesn't need a whole lot to be happier!

14. Speak the truth and nothing else. 

15. Never under-estimate the power of your will. You are mentally stronger that you think you are.

16. Always try to be a leader. It is easier to criticize the leader than to be one...Try to be one!

17. Think. Gather a moment. Reflect. Pray for 5 minutes a day. It would make life simpler to decipher.

18. Play outside. Run outside. Walk outside. Do things outside to clear your thoughts and more importantly to see the beautiful painting that has been created for us. 

19. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

20. Help people around you. 

I am 34 -- yet, I have learned only 20 lessons in life so far -- 14 less lessons -- I give it to my late maturity :-)

To Clean Energy or not?

India is a nation of almost 1.2 billion people. There is an immense need for resources and infrastructure to sustain the growing population and the booming Indian economy to keep the nation moving forward. India also lacks the basic infrastructure at rural areas to provide the basic necessity like power, roads and water supply. It's common in B-town city to have a structured way of "power-cuts" ranging anywhere from 2 hrs. - 8 hrs. a day in summer! For the longest period of time, India has been dependent on Coal, and its power is more or less generated by Coal energy or fossil fuels. Coal as everyone knows is one of the "old" energy technology responsible for carbon emission and India has always walked a tight line, when it comes to Kyoto Protocol aimed at fighting global warming. India is at a threshold to usher in Nuclear energy with a new proposed nuclear power plant in Jaitapur, Maharashtra. The proposed nuclear power plant is no ordinary plant -- The 5 b

Interesting Articles - May 2nd 2017

1. All eyes on iPhone Sales - iPhone 8 (4 mins) I love reading Bob Lefetz newsletter. He has his own unique way of saying the things that he wants to say where a layman can understand it. " Tech is all about utility, not fashion. And there’s no breakthrough coming, other than a curved screen. You needed a new phone when they went from 3G to LTE.

People drive their cars ever-longer, but analysts believe consumers are all gonna fork over a thousand bucks for a fashion statement? Not gonna happen. Otherwise, 3-D TV would have been a juggernaut and you’d be throwing away your present flat screen for one with 4k." http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/2017/05/01/iphone-8/ Bonus article  - Bob had an amazing post last week just before Twitter's quarterly results

Is it the rebirth of Nokia?

Is it the rebirth of Nokia?  The two products that were announced, definitely stands out from the hardware point of view, but is the normal die-hard audience ready for a non-symbian/Meego OS from Espoo? Is Windows 7 that compelling, that consumers will forgo an iOS device with equally great ecosystem or for that matter the amazing choices of hardware that one gets from different manufacturer on Android? I was  disappointed with the device on two fronts. No front facing camera and  absolutely no guidance on US release. I was hoping that from the time Nokia made the decision to move from Symbian to Windows Phone 7 in February, they couldn't leverage the partnership to bake Skype to provide an awesome alternative to cell plans..at least in Europe.  Front facing video calls with Skype and Windows Phone 7 OS could have had a good selling point. Also w ith the direction of XBOX integration in windows phone 7, 512 MB just doesn't cut it anymore. I understand, iPhone 4S has the
