Urgency
“We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked, and dejected with a lost opportunity. The tide in the affairs of men does not remain at flood — it ebbs. We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is adamant to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words, “Too late.” – Martin Luther King
I hope i am loosing my time, and gaining in weight.
The thought of “wasting lives” always comes in my mind. Well sung by Foo Fighters.

Re reading and Re visiting
Just rereading old book.
I thought, man is known by the number of books he has read. But realized, man is known by the number of books he has chewed.
A deeper read is more beautiful and enhance one’s understanding; then more and shallow read.

What needs to be done ? Why direction is all that important in life
In Bible it is written, without vision, everything will perish. And i have to put the point that it is the vision which is important. But then Vision is so flexible, so abstract that it make me think twice.
How to put up a point of view ?
The first thing when you write an article, no a definite point that you and the reader are going to carry. And you should be in tune with the reader’s need; not a self absorbed person, writing yourself away.
Its easy to complain !

Visionary
Its Monday Morning, but some how or the other, i do not feel the Monday Hangover…There is a kick inside, as i enter the office. I even worked on Sunday’s. Well, if you are working for your own “vision”, there is always a kick to make your vision, into reality.
Being Visionary…..During my struggling days, i.e, three months back, I used to visit the “Indian Coffee House”, or “Jawahar Kala Kendra”. I remember, the first day when i visited the Coffee house, i felt, “Yaha ki toh hawa hi alag behti hai”, there is a different kind of wind that blows here. The reason for the said is, Indian Coffee House is a place where all the artist of Jaipur meet up. There are painters, animators, actors, musician, authors, photographers….Being with them, Was akin to being at college. What so ? The vision thingy..
During my college days,at IIT, we used to talk about changing the world, we were cocky, We used to talk about Ideas , we used to think what opportunities are stored for us, but two years of Job, most of them had grown up, ( GIVEN UP !!). Even at Job, the talks does not become about Ideas, but next pay hike, People do not think how to change the world, but how to create “Politics” for there own good. Life becomes a disturbing affair. There were no visionary left, and at “Indian Coffee house”, i found “Kuch nayi hawa”.
So they were artist, and they were visionary. I met an artist who had not earned a singly money for last few year, 35 something. He had a dream of making a bike shaped like a Dragon. And he made it, and currently he was struggling to sell the bike to get some money. There were painters who do painting, because that is the only thing they like to do. Even if the money were less. A school teacher who loved Prem Chand. our Indian “Shakespeare”, who told how good he felt , whenever he reads “Namak ka Daroga”. The world at Indian Coffee house was filled with Visionary and people who wanted to change the world. And i still love the place.
So here, i am a Business Man. Life become a struggle if you dont dream, or if you do not have vision. The world is shaped by dreamers. I love and trully believe in. Those people at coffee house, without a penny in there pocket and dreams so high, are a true inspiration for me. I agree i am clocking may be 70 hours a week in my work, or building my dream; i agree i do not have much time left even to watch a movie, or having a good night sleep, but it is worth the life..as i am in pursuit of my vision.
Here i work…
Interesting Read – the most human human
While taking an entreprunial path, i began across meeting lots of people with different background and taste. During this learning, i managed to developed a special sense. Of intuiting what the other person is going to say and think. I mean, in raw sense, i would be 50% correct, and looking that i am still two month old, i thought i would develop this ability to 100%. The ability to know what the other person is about to tell.
During these time, i began to ponder, whether these people are human or automaton. Why these people talk in a scripted way ? A bank manager talk with a scripted sense, based on rules and bueracracy. An artist will talk in a poetic sense revealing his anxiety. All these people are computers.
It is on these regard i began to search. And got a beautiful book, attached link. Reading this book, has revealed me important facet of our personality. And what it means to be alive !!! as the book says. The book reveals about the fight of computer scientist to build a “human talking computer”. Talking to that computer, you would not feel that you are talking to a computer. To build the algo, they have used human insight and how people “script” there conversation.
