With the US of A’s attention riveted on Wall Street, government bailouts, and housing foreclosures, another issue of prime concern to Americans in this election year has been shoved out of the spotlight: the candidate’s positions on healthcare reforms. Both of them is with their own blogs on the healthcare reforms. And here in India, the new Super power (American Senate approved the Indo- US Nuclear deal without the killer amendment) PUBLIC SMOKING is banned. Wherever, whoever and whenever they blog, HEALTH MATTERS.

Dr. JKC Mazumdar in my office says – “ I am a part time blogger (successfully completed two blogs, ONLINE MEDICAL CONSULTATION – A Doc’s Perspective and DOCTORING SANS ‘STETHE’SCOPE. Have you read and commented on them and if not please do that now) and my blogs are more on the Healthcare and the Consumerism…

Interestingly I heard about the History of Blogs: A blog (contraction from Weblog) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. The history of blogs is closely connected with the history of the Internet itself. One of the world’s first websites was started in 1992 by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, and featured a news section pointing to new websites as they came online. This website can be considered the earliest predecessor of modern blogs. Most of the people who were creating websites at that time were computer experts using them as their online diaries to write about their personal lives. The actual term “Web log” was coined in 1997 and shortened to “blog” in 1999. It was not until 1999 that blogging started to become popular among a broader population of Internet users, coinciding with the launch of Live Journal and Blogger, the first dedicated blog hosting services.”

Hiring, It surely a hard thing for start-ups! In a start-up, what you have is a small team, limited resources which you have to convert to something good & big with the time; and the time flies like that Jet in the sky! Entreprenuership is hard because of involved unpredictbility, this unpredictibility makes it risky affair for many people out there.

Most of my friends work in technology-fims all across the town. I often meet people, lot of people who always say that apart from their regular work they want to start something of their own, some of them are pretty tuned with their “what they’re doing” in their office, most of them don’t have to do anything seriously with their “whatever they’re doing”, they’re just used to the system,  they’re just happy with whatever they’re earning as their salary at the end of month. Last couple of months most people whom I met reply… “I am on the bench dude! No work at all… I want to do something extra, but you know the tubeligh is not bulbing!” …

Rediculous senseless chain-mails & FWD mails are their mode of communication. For example, my former room mates… every night when I used to see them, they were still discussing about the shitty chain-mails they have… some of them only do this stuff and pass the whole day! Sure, they might have good skills and they can actually code… they looked like programmed monkeys by the corporate culture! May be this is state of all talent-pool we have in the Indian tech-industry; most of them are used to the system.

That sucks, sucks really big time!

For most people, growing up is synonymous to getting older. But after living for almost a quarter of century, I look upon my life and realize its much more than just getting older… Its about getting more experience, getting more ideas, its about getting mature (I seem to hit upon the exact word)…

So here I am, with my life before me… So much time seems to have passed. I have lived my life as it came… played, laughed, cried, teased, run, fell, got up, hurt, got hurt, learned, unlearned, forgot, remembered… I have done it all… and I liked it… If I’d given chance to life again, I’ll still make the decisions I made, I’ll go from those paths that I went…

So what did I learn from all my life’s experiences? When I compare myself from what I was 10 years ago, I find many changes in myself. The most prominent one; becoming deliberate from being spontaneous… Now I think before I act… and I am no more impatient. I am now more content then I was 10 years ago… and I am more aggressive. Perhaps those are the signs of maturity!! I now know that maturity isn’t something you’d gain just by being old… You’ll have to interact, think, feel, act. I now know that world isn’t perfect — it was never meant to. I don’t expect perfect outcomes now… Because if you become perfect, you wont have any chance to improve — which is imperfect in its own… Over the years I feel becoming more self centered… which I think is a by product of maturity - or vice versa…

Here too I am talking about myself from the start... I now feel more confident in being honest about things I feel… which is a nice thing as I have said everything about myself without any hesitation and without any lie… Over the years I have seen people’s expectations from me growing… sometimes I find it choking me, sometimes I find it very stimulating… I have learned that if you fear something it will keep you haunting for ever, and if you face it firmly you will conquer it… Be it a memory of someone …

I stopped celebrating my birthday long ago as I don’t see the logic in people congratulating you on something to which you have no credit. I’ve been very less emotional from start and I feel birthdays are just like other days… But, I still love the surprise feeling of answering some long lost friends’ call… Hey! that’s the reason I remember all my friend’s birthdays… I don’t believe in making resolutions because I don’t need any resolution to do something…

Hmm… I wanna end this monologue now… So when I hear to my 11 year old cousin who now dreams to become a pilot, I get reminded of myself… One can draw his inspiration from anywhere… and thats why I believe that this is a continuous process… I have yet to see more… and experience and explore. Life is meant for learning… and growing up… these years will keep coming and going, what counts in the end is how you utilize the time allotted to you…

I will turn 24 tomorrow! I’d like to thank everyone, my family, my friends who are around me, makes me feel happy everyday & keep inspiring me… and special thanks goes to my friend Shahab Jafri for the similar thoughts.

"One want to find someone who not only loves him / her, but lets themselves experience love and doesn’t worry about the chances of things actually working out.

Yes, Relationships are like start-ups.  If you join one because you think it will be successful, versus just joining one because its interesting, worthwhile, and its something you’re passionate about—regardless of its ultimate chance of success—then you shouldn’t be in one.

Most relationships, like most startups, don’t last forever. They’re also completely unpredictable, so you just find good people, communicate well, and do your best…"

A start-up is too much work, you gotta keep the wheel running, no matter whatever f**ks-up or slows down, you gotta keep it moving… You know you’re a geek of very high order since your school days. You knew what Web is all about when you were a 10 year old kid. Finally, You’re now an entrepreneur, running your own show on the Web 2.0, which mix Web 2.0 with healthcare in India.

Things always don’t stay same, the thing called “change” is most constant thing in the life… yes it is, full of ups & down! What you do…?

You do… Reverse Entrepreneurship!

What is that? …That is something which build companies like Apple! That is something that makes you know who you are, what you can do and do more! And that keeps the wheel running, the wheel you build by your own hands and you know that wheel will go a long way! …And trust me it is a bliss!
