Recession in the eye ?

Have been looking at people from this time where the slowdown has taken its headway in Indian market perspectives.. Have been listening more and more views everyday from a lot of respective gentleman. I found a few professionals/business owners saying that this is "THE" time and they are bellowing about them facing the recession/slowdown "In the Eye".

Well the truth is few of these people are actually meaning what they say, the recession in the eye with investor's cash being thrown around here and there ? Where is the true value ? Where is the business ? What is the growth statistics ? oh yes you might have doubled your team strength but only at the stake of someone else's money ??

And there are other's who have quickly hidden in covers, found a job? Quit their mission ?

And then there are people who are silently building value, doing work, creating trust, quality and helping business grow in a lower cost model, and are the ones looking the slowdown in the eye ....

Awesome ness !!

Right !

Awesome ness !!

This can't get better than this. All my life I have been craving for a mission, mission to be so occupied, so growing every minute, so accurately directed towards goal, so possessive about gaining knowledge. Well this is a pleasure, to be in a startup. I mean I feel elated a level above. I can do everything so better every coming day. I see my mistakes of yesterday and improve them today and that's pretty fast.

I told this to my close friend in a discussion yesterday: " It may be a matter of success now but it won't be important in future or may be its the other way round that its not important now but one day it might be crucial to achieve it. But overall I am in a joyous happy mood that success may not be important at all but this spirit shall prevail.. I want to life all my life in the same spirit now. After brainstorming and critically analyzing myself I understood that may be this is all about this spirit and success has no material in it now or whenever. I was later suggested by somebody that may be this feeling of redefining the success and its importance for oneself every second are the signs of having achieved it already.

It has been said so many times .. once again i say.. yes it's the journey .. and it shall remain a journey forever...
may be there's no destination.

Unbelievably maintained.

This trip to Orissa came unplanned though but was a blessing...

An awesome trip to know various facts about the Puri, Cuttuck, Bhubaneswar (i keep on forgetting how to spell it) .. The pandas of the Jagannath temple .. those unbelievalbe dacoits who would loot people, snatch money at every corner of the temple.. you don't know when a hand will come and pull you to ask(beg/snatch) money .. freaking dirty and these have tourism as the only source of income i believe...

Thereafter the Konark Sun temple .. I would never forget the historical facts as explained by our guide.. Consists of more than 80% kama sutra inscribed on the temple walls (only the walls remain now.. the main temple and inside is ruined now..). Awesome reasons for these inscriptions.. killing of all the brave warriors in the war of Kalinga and the remaining ones becoming saints after facing the atrocities and brutalities of an unusually long terrific war. The king fearing the growth of next generations due to the lack of men in the society got these temples inscribed with these to arouse the feelings of those who ex-warriors. I really don't know how true.. but the 800 year old facts do tell us that our ancestors in India were far more sexually advanced than anybody else, dieties enjoying lesbian, animal sex, etc. and lot of other holy shit !!

And to the other extreme there is Nandankanan wild life century which appeared to me as unbelievably maintained with 30-40 leopards, equal tigers,lions, etc. separate huge ponds for the hippos and the rhino. Hundreds of other species in the zoo .. those rare ones ..but well maintained and clean .. nice and governement has to be congratulated for something after visiting this... I love plastic free zones.
