The hard truth !!!

My heart has been bleeding blood for quite a while regarding the focus of media on non-trivial issues.

Today, Shashi Tharoor, in his interview to NDTV made a question, just one question to Barkha Dutt. In the last few weeks there were a couple of highly placed delegates who visited India, there were some PMs who visited India, there are soo many things happening in the ministry of external affairs and he tweets about them too. So why didn't any media report any of these. Why is media only focussed on controversies with no proof and why doesn't it report to the public the actual happenings in the govt, things that actually make a difference to thier lives, things that change the way of living.

I love Hindu, for it stands to be the only newspaper which just mentioned Sachins 200 in front page and detailed article in sports page on a day when there were other major political changes happening. It remains to be the only paper whose main article remains to be the PMs visit and policies on nuclear deal and secondary article on Tharoor. It happens to be the only print or otherwise media which appears to maintain the integrity.

I bow to thee !!!

I'm hiring

1st lesson learnt in business, don't try to do everything yourself to save 10bucks, you could earn a 100 if the time is utilized otherwise !!!

I tried to overdo things, take care of office design, website design, certifications, registrations, accounts, blah blah blah everything. Net result I lost focus for a while, on what is the most important thing, actual business. Luckily I didn't lose much as govt is drafting some new policies and everyone is in a standby mode.

Now I need to hire employees, my 1st one being a Solar Design n Installation Engineer. This is getting very difficult, esp in India. I need someone with 1.5-2yrs experience. Is it too much to ask? Training a electrical engineer has become very very costly n then there is the attrition problem, but for now doesn't look like I have much of a choice !!!


Anyone interested??

Good things

A new post from a one time regular blogger, reminded me that there is an end to everything. Especially in the internet age of this 21st century nothing stays forever. Blogging was a fad few years back, though the original idea of a blog was to have an online journal, it slowly turned into a place where people could find audience for their thoughts, and later it was just about the audience and no of comments. Not that I have anything against it, but it wouldn't really work for long coz you'd have to keep up with your writing skills, stick to the theme (like the newspaper columnists do) and constantly work on luring more audience.

So was the case with myspace, next orkut, wouldbe twitter. The idea of finding audience on net is appealing but has to be constantly reworked n strategy redefined based on the mindset of your audience. You would not be able to be yourself, coz you'll have to serve to their needs. SRK can't put down his frustration on KKRs coz his audience would just be disappointed, Bachan can't scold his daughter in law even if he felt like coz thats not expected from him.

Most of the regular blogs I used to visit are in a coma, so changing the list on the right side of the page.

This is just an arbit thought, n that's what this blog is about, my thoughts. So for the minute few who read it, ignore if you got bored :)

Happy Times

So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last

Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again

Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on ...

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So, Let's sing a song of cheer again

Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!


The music is even better, I just loved it !! :)

Conflict of logic

This has been killing my brain cells over the last few weeks. I had the first company advantage providing project management and services in solar industry in India, but then the national solar mission got delayed at the center due to which projects were kept on hold, and then the budget. Now when everything is set to be on track, there are umpteen companies coming up providing similar services, and they have deep pockets !!

However most of these companies are foreign companies (they charge more n never handled local work) and so the manufacturers are showing interest in my company, however the clauses in solar mission ain't fully announced and there are certain guidelines etc coming up. So the wait continues.

2011 looks great, but how do I pay the rent till then? What do I eat? Finding alternate sources of income has become equally stupid. The only other option is to find alternate business ventures, but they are dependent on other people who are delaying their own work due to xyz reasons.

A good businessman makes money today, a good manager thinks of ways to make money tomorrow, and an entrepreneur has to do both.



Survival for existence officially begins!!!!
