Experience of life...


Life …what people think about you it doesn’t matter but what you have given them to think about you it does matter…people think same what you have shown them. Sometime what you think about life it doesn’t matter but what people make you think about life it does matter. Some time I do whatever is said by my mind and heart and some time I do whatever said is by others people. But at the end everyone asks for result no matter what have you done or how much effort you have given.

Here is a simple example. In both situation you were not good in academic and never got good marks. In 1st situation you have become dumb/failure in your life. Whatever you have done has gone waste and in 2nd situation you have become star or entrepreneur or have a good position in reputed company.

Now someone takes the interview of your school teacher or college teacher and what he/she would say in 1st situation “he was very dumb and stupid. We knew he can’t do anything in life. Even he doesn’t have spirits and vision. He was wastage and he is”. In 2nd situation he/she would say “we know he has some guts although he was not good in academic but he has spirits to do something. We knew he had a vision but he just needed a direction now you see he has got his direction and he is rocking. GOD bless him”.

I was born in Rajgarh, Rajasthan in middle class joint family and this was the point I got to know value of relation. I must say I was lucky that I was born in joint family. I had big dreams from the childhood but I didn’t know that sometime we don’t get what we desire. In the 6th standard I went to Alwar for further study but because of some family problems (here, at this point I understood the value of education) I had to drop it and continued my study in Rajgarh. In 10th standard I was ready to fly but again I got a big stroke (family disputes) and because of this even I thought to left my study. At this time I was less interested in academic because I had to help my father in his business. This was a setback for my elder brother too. He was very good in academic and my family had lots of expectations from him but this tragedy spoiled everything. This is true that life gives opportunity; it is up to one how he / she get it. What I believe opportunity lies everywhere but we have to open our eyes. I and my brother were handling my father business very well but my father thought to give me some space and said me to go for further study. I was blank what to do but after the guidance and support of friends and relatives, after completing my graduation, I went Alwar for preparation of CAT, MAT and other MBA entrance exams. On the 1st day of my coaching while entering in class, 1st comment I got from students there about me “ye gawn ka gavar kaha se aa gaya CAT ki preparation kerne”. Really it was not easy for a throughout Hindi medium student to crack CAT. But I was determined to do so because I knew at the end I will be asking a question to myself that have I made it large. One more thing about me I believe in destiny, luck and astrology and it works for me. Well however I didn’t do well in CAT and Mat so I decided to go Jaipur for further preparation. There I spent almost 1 year of my life, I must say most precious time of my life. There I got time to develop my skills and I got 96%tile in MAT and got admission in PROTON. Sometime life was unfair and sometime fair but every time unfair life taught me a lesson. In Indore during the 2 years MBA I got more than I deserve (a brother, a sweetheart, best friends) and of course a good job. That’s all for what I invested money and time in MBA.

Every person learns from practical life experience here are biggest learning of my life so far which make me stronger and able to fight -:

Life is never unfair that is we those make it unfair.

Commonsense is not so common we have to use it with full caution.

There is no value of your emotions until you are not strong enough to hide those.

Try to laugh and make others laugh because people don’t have time to laugh.

Everyone is busy even they don’t know what the hell they are doing.

You can expect from loved one until he/she is able to tolerate/bear your expectations.

If you have some degree, good job and making money, people will listen to you even you are talking nonsense.

You have to show your expertise otherwise people will not believe on you. Ex. Doctors have to show that they are MBBS or MD.

Sometime we have to be selfish to excel and grow in life.

Here are very less people those will appreciate you for your effort irrespective of your result.

Do whatever you want to do in your life and never regret or step back once you have started.

It is not mandatory in life to make right decision but it is mandatory to correct your decision or make them right.

You don’t need to break rules; you just need to bend them safely.

Thank to GOD for giving you happy moments.

For my friends -:

“Hmesha bhagwan per vishvaas karo kyoki vo sabki mushkilen aasaan kerta hai aur jiski mushkilen vo aasaan nahi kerta iska matlab vo us per vishvaas kerta hai”

Direct from entrepreneur........











Today we had Entrepreneurs @ PROTON business school For EXPERT GUEST LECTURE SERIES (EGLS).

Mr. Sanjay Menon, Antrim Dynamics
Mr. Mehta, V Cherish Media
Mr. Raghu Pandey, I Branch
Mr. Kunal Chaudhari, Verisqueare.com
Mr. Siddharth Jaiswal, Joos

Mr. Sandeep Gajakas, Shoe Laundry

Mr. Jatin Chaudhary, Point10

It was awesome experience. All renowned personalities were from different streams and graduated from different colleges like NIRMA, IIM A. They all spoke in very simple language. Their dressing sense was very simple. They were very clear about whatever they said. These eminent personalities talked about their enterprises, experiences, problems they faced. They also talked about how they started and their views about youngsters, country, business and education.

Especially if I talk about Mr. Sandeep Gajakas, he said “Jo apni mistakes se seekhe vo akalmand, jo dusro ki mistakes se seekhe vo bahut akalmand lekin jo kisi ki bhi mistakes se na seekhe vo be-akal”

He told that for getting one good idea we have to go through 100 bad ideas. He quoted “Money is not everything but make sure you have enough before making this nonsense”. He said about success that it has no equation. What is success is very wage question but has very simple answer.

This was pleasure to see that they were not old. They were young as we are. In very short of time they made big enterprises. 8 hours session (1 hour lunch including) are enough to make someone exhausted but I feel like I had energy drink and now I am full of enthusiasm. I can’t explain, time passed like anything and even we didn’t realize it. They were talking about themselves very enthusiastically. They were full of zeal and very eager to tell about themselves. Really I enjoyed a lot.

It was difficult to digest all learning so I thought to write down all things so that others can have benefits. There are some learning’s which I learnt from this session:-

1. Self realization is the best realization. Self inspiration is the best inspiration. Self motivation is the best motivation. No one can motivate if you don’t want to be motivated.

2. Everything is relative. Try to measure and consider your plan, product, thinking and strategy in comparison with each other.

3. Put tour business plan in the front of people and whosoever says that your business plan is bad, make his or her your friends because they will try to find out all possible shortcomings in your business and you will get chances to make them correct.

4. Whenever you launch a new product or service put yourself at the place of consumer. Just think that if you are consumer then will you buy it through your hard earned money.

5. There is very thin line between self-respect and ego. Try to understand it. Both look same but have difference. Don’t show ego but never let others break or play with your self-respect. Never underestimate it.

6. Whatsoever you do, do it in your interest area. Do that work which you can do continuously 14-15 hours and don’t feel exhausted. Show people what you tell. When people say that you are cynical, you are on right path.

7. Always take feedbacks from strangers because biasness will not be there. There may be chance of biasness if you will take feedback from friends or relative.

8. To find out opportunities, start tracking big projects going on like UID. It will help you not only in increasing your knowledge but also in your placement.

9. Don’t make plan for long term; make it for 2-3 weeks. Make Action plan instead of making business plan. This was said by one of the eminent speaker that make action plan and follow it. pen down every thing and do it.

10. Take risks which have genuine benefits. Benefits can be different types like in the term of money, fame and so on.

11. Every person has some good qualities and bad qualities. Get good qualities and leave bad qualities.

12. Conviction, idea, humanity, sincerity are the keys of success. B-schools and universities do good things but humanity does much better.

In business be friendly with your labour. Be good human. Spread your knowledge and rock the world. All the best to my all friends who want to become entrepreneur.

Love is an act being done or it happens by itself......























Hi dear friends, today I am going to write on a different topic. It can be funny or very serious for someone. We all know about love and many of you have fallen in it (or some continuous trying to fall). There is a question for all of you.


Love is an act being done or it happens by itself?


There are lots of views about this. Every person has his/her view. I have asked this question to many people. Almost 99% people said that it happens by itself. They gave many examples and quotes for this. I felt what ever they told; those were consequences of love (bad or good). Like- love is blind. Love blocks our thinking process (especially in the view of parents). But what I believe is that love can’t happen by itself. Love is an act being done. Isn’t it?

Once I asked this question to my friend. He told me "bas yaar, pyar to ho jata hai" I asked "how?" he said "koi bhi gorgeous girl ko dhek ker ke accha sa feel ho and so on……"

Then I asked “do you like KATREENA”? He told “yes”. Then I asked "why did you not love KATREENA? She is beautiful and smart”. He said "because I can’t get her". Here is that point that I want to make, if we really want to love someone, this is the only way we can fall in love. Why do people not love her? People know they can’t get her, so they don’t try for her.

Another example -: If you are going to the market and you see unattractive girl/boy. Would you like to gaze her/him? You won’t because you don’t like him/her. So how can you fall in love?

To make yourself fall in love just think about a girl/boy. Think about his/her smartness, behaviors, talking style, way of smiling and some moment that you have spent with her/him. Think for 3 and 4 days and sure, after this you will have fallen in love. Only reason is that you are making yourself like this. You want to do it.

"Love at first sight" everyone has listened this. Do you believe on this? In my opinion it is not true. If it happens with someone means it is only an attraction. It can break any time.

To love anyone, first you talk them then have some time together, may be have lunch together or travel together, may be you like some habits of him/her and other one like yours habits. Then you understand each other and may be after that both start to like/love each other. My friends just have a look that have you fallen in true love? (Or it is just an attraction)

I am eagerly waiting for your views. Please comment.

Happiness - Not So Elusive




















Hi dear friends, here is my 3rd blog. My two blogs were informative type but this time i brought new topic "HAPPINESS"- NOT SO ELUSIVE. There are some lines in image. From this we can understand happiness is not hard to find out. 1st of all we have to understand, what is Happiness, what we interpret from this word. Happiness is not our facial expression. Happiness is in our thoughts and fellings which show our expression of happy and joy. Why did i come with this. Let me tell you, tomorrow I was coming back to Indore by train. There were two families sitting near by me and talking to each other. One lady was talking about her daughter that she is in Indonesia. She is very happy. Her husband got an apartment and a car from the company. Other one was telling about her family that they are the happiest person in the world. Her son got job in foreign and so on.

After approx 30 minutes, they started telling their problems and problems of their children also. After listening big conversation from them, it forced me to think about happiness that how can we get happiness. Can we buy it?

People think that buying LCD T.V, latest car, and designer clothes make them happy.These things can't. A person feels happy when he graduates college with highest rank, when his child is born, when he wins some competition. We always try to find out happiness out side but it is in us.

One of my friends asked me "Pradeep, how can you be happy whole time" and my answer was "Just be happy" Love whatever you do. What I believe is that make happiness a habit to be happy.
Every morning you wake up and open your eyes. Say to yourself "This is a new and wonderful day for me. Today I will face challenges and enjoy them. I will choose right action, love, peace today."
Start each day in this manner. I am sure you will be the happiest person.

Thriller victory


India has won 2nd test. It is great victory. They couldn't out Hashim Amla at all. Eight hours and 19 minutes, he's spent at the wicket for the series in this innings, which took to 23 hours and 22 minutes the total time. All three bowlers did well in the absence of zheer.

When MS Dhoni declared 1st inning, I thought it was too early. India should have scored more. Now it seems, it was good decision. if india got defeat, it would be bad decision. this is how things change.

Here bad news is that zheer will not play in ODI. and Herbhajan will also play in 1st and 2nd ODI because of his sister marriage. Without them India has caliber to win ODI series. Now India on top in test. All the best.

Try to be "1 minute manager"

Read "One Minute Manager". I completed last night. one of the best book and you will get great insights of management.

One minute goals- You must agree your goal. Write your goal less than 250 words so that you can read this with in 1 minute. Every day give a look and analyze your performance. Most important thing that your goal should be match with your behavior.

One minute praising - Tell people immediately that what good they did. Be specific and make feel them good. Encourage and touch them in a way that they feel it supportive.

One minute reprimand - Be specific and tell people what they did wrong. Let them feel how uncomfortable you feel because of this mistake. But never forget to remind them how much you value them.
And realize them that reprimand is over.

These are three secrets to b one minute manager............and......... remember some points-

1. Speak simple truth
2. Laugh
3. Work
4. Enjoy

These are keys of success.
