o palanhare, nirgun aur nyare

o palanhare, nirgun aur nyare -2, tumare bin hamara kaunon nahee
hamaree uljhan suljhao bhagwan, tumare bin hamara kaunon nahee
tumhe hamaka ho sambhale, tumhe hamare rakhwale
tumare bin hamara kaunon nahee - (3)

chanda me tumhe toh bhare ho chandni, suraj me ujala tumhe se
yeh gagan hai magan, tumhe toh diye ho isse tare
bhagwan yeh jivan tumhe naa sanwaroge, toh kya koee sanware
o palanhare nirgun aur nyare, (tumare bin hamara kaunon nahee -2)

jo suno toh kahe prabhuji hamaree hai binati, dukhi jan ko dhiraj do
hare nahee woh kabhee dukh se
tum nirbal ko raksha do, reh paye nirbal sukh se
bhakti ko shakti do - (2)
jag ke jo swami ho, itani toh araj suno
hai path me andhiyare, dedo vardan me ujiyare

(o palanhare, nirgun aur nyare, tumare bin hamara kaunon nahee
hamaree uljhan suljhao bhagwan, tumare bin hamara kaunon nahee) - (3)

Ek Jat full daru laga ke tight hokar ghar jaa raha tha. Raaste me mandir ke baahar
pujari dikha.

Jat n pujari se poocha, sabse bada kaun?

Pujaari ne peecha chudane ke liye kaha "Mandir Bada".


Jat bola "Mandir bada toh dharti pe kaise khada"

Pujari: "Dharti badi"

Jat: "Dharti badi toh Sheshnaag pe kyun khadi"

Pujari" "Sheshnaag bada"

Entrepreneurship has no risk......

Buzz this
Entrepreneurship has no risk...... well most of you will say i don't agree to it .before we discuss let quickly go through this article


>>>>>
Recently I met with parents of the founder of one of our portfolio companies. They asked me about their son’s venture , how do I think its doing and what will be  the outcome etc. Here was my answer to them:
  • Your son worked for 1 year as a SW engineer with a big company before starting his venture
  • Now the venture is 4 months old and is already seeing some good traction
  • Lets say he works on this venture for 2-3 years, at the end of it one of the two outcomes will be seen
    • Good case outcome: He continues with the venture. It has become successful – not necessarily an IPO but at the minimum its growing steadily and makes enough money to sustain itself and pay him a salary
    • Worst case outcome: The venture shuts down
  • When your son started this venture he auto promoted himself from SW engineer to the CEO / CXO
    • A level he may have never achieved or achieved after a very long time period in a regular career with big SW companies
  • Since he is  CEO / CXO – he would need to work  & network  with CEOs / Founders / Owners / Senior management folks of other companies
    • As a matter of fact this person I am talking about has already met CEOs / owners of more than 10 established / funded companies which are from the similar domain as his own company
  • In case of shutdown of his venture it is certain that with the right efforts your son will:
    • Find a senior management position – VP / AVP / Director / Head of department with a company in the same domain
    • Get very good salary to go with these positions
    • And he would have switched from writing code to a domain of his choice
    • And if he has another venture in him, he can save enough to start it
  • This will happen because 2-3 years as an entrepreneur will give the two things needed to get a senior position:
    • Network of decision makers at good companies who have seen him run his own company
    • 3 years of intense learning you get as as a start up founder, is worth more than 10 – 12 years in regular job
  • These days people in the industry are very happy to hire X-entrepreneurs, since they know these guys can get work done
  • Not all companies would be open to hiring him. But there are lot of funded, growing, young, dynamic companies who would be happy to consider him seriously
  • Your son will be way ahead, both in salary and position, as compared to most of his classmates / colleagues who will never go out of the SW industry and become Senior SW engineer or at best a team lead in these 2-3 years. Some of these guys may have gone to top B-Schools to do MBAs and after 2 years will be doing entry level jobs in companies
  • So if in the worst case spending two years passionately working on your startup can him chance to switch his job profile and domain, a very good jump in both and salary, and in good case he may be running a successful venture – doing a start up is a great investment in career, and not at all a risk
  • They understood my point since it was quite logical, but still did not seem fully convinced . I don’t blame them. They are from a different generation

Business Ideas may fail, but Entrepreneurship is risk free
No opportunity comes with surety.  Even an MBA from a top B-School might not get the best returns. There are lots of bright ideas which never reap fruits. What is important is that you should be able to separate failure of your idea from your personal failure. Its very clear, if you choose to become an entrepreneur for the right reasons, have the right approach and are determined to give it your best shot for 2-3 years and create value in your venture, chances of failure are near zero. You will learn so much and get to know so many people that even in case of the worst outcome, you will come out way ahead and will be a much wanted resource.h
The journey of entrepreneurship is the real value add for the entrepreneur. The result is a by product.

So where is the risk in entrepreneurship? (try to answer this question)

Well after reading this you may be convinced  or may be having some still some more doubts.some of you may not even agree to it and some of you may feel that its nice compostion but  Entrepreneurship as easy as given here as i do feel so.


Well to be frank what i feel is Entrepreneurship is risk free but it has too its own aspect.... will continue this post tomorrow in mean time try to answer above question

some poems that i always want to read...

Kavita no 1
वीर तुम बढ़े चलो, धीर तुम बढ़े चलो
साथ में ध्वजा रहे
बाल दल सजा रहे
ध्वज कभी झुके नहीं
दल कभी रुके नहीं

वीर तुम बढ़े चलो, धीर तुम बढ़े चलो
सामने पहाड़ हो
सिंह की दहाड़ हो
तुम निडर,हटो नहीं
तुम निडर,डटो वहीं
वीर तुम बढ़े चलो, धीर तुम बढ़े चलो

प्रात हो कि रात हो
संग हो न साथ हो
सूर्य से बढ़े चलो
चन्द्र से बढ़े चलो

वीर तुम बढ़े चलो, धीर तुम बढ़े चलो

लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।

नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है,
चढ़ती दीवारों पर, सौ बार फिसलती है।
मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है,
चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना न अखरता है।
आख़िर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।

डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाता है,
जा जा कर खाली हाथ लौटकर आता है।
मिलते नहीं सहज ही मोती गहरे पानी में,
बढ़ता दुगना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में।
मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।

असफलता एक चुनौती है, इसे स्वीकार करो,
क्या कमी रह गई, देखो और सुधार करो।
जब तक न सफल हो, नींद चैन को त्यागो तुम,
संघर्ष का मैदान छोड़ कर मत भागो तुम।
कुछ किये बिना ही जय जय कार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।
