Challenge Your Mind
Myself and MN spent the day from 11am to 9pm, to Little India and evening some discussions.
As part of the conversation, one important thing came to my mind to keep reminding to myself:
CHALLENGE YOUR MIND, Daily & CONSISTENTLY. This is very important. Every day you have to keep challenging yourself. Otherwise like Iron rusts when you don't care and become unusable, same way my mind rusts and become unusable.
As the saying of one Turkey proverb, "No matter how far down the road, turn back", we have to really do real time check every week/month/quarter/half yearly/yearly.
Take concrete, measurable actions for each of the items you want to make change. Take the actions consistently. This is the toughest part. As of today, i am struggling myself to keep up with this.
Few things to think about:
1. I need to write my own script every day and act in the script. How the script should be?
2. 10 years from now what i should do and what i will be doing?
3. How can i challenge myself, daily?
4. Which activity, i feel the enjoyment, fun and challenge, which i will be doing even without any salary?
i don't have answers now. but need to find and start working on it asap.
I have to find my own Kick.
Few things we discussed:
1. KE, Potential Energy, Einstein , Newton's laws, abstract algebra. Everything looks interesting.
CHANGE!
Daily CHANGE!!
Consistently CHANGE!!!
CHANGE for the Good & CHANGE for Better.

Connect, Communicate & Envision the Vision!!!
One more greatest nights with MM - Minister & Mentor. Good News: He is going to become father soon. Congratulations to 's Family. Long awaiting good news, at last came, at the right time.
We swam for an hour in Bedok Swimming Pool. It was really good we had 6 rounds; after that started with Heineken Beer :)
He shared his experience in his new organization. Looks like every one is more knowledgeable. He feels he could be the weakest link in the team. He lost his sleep for couple of days. He felt low. In fact he got sleep disorder - insomnia.
But again back to his form. I am sure he will be rocking in couple of weeks.
then started discussion at his home with dinner.
It's really great time with good analysis and thinking and some challenging questions.
It went on from Rajini, from the passionate bus conductor who whistles stylishly, give the ticket, put the stage calculation, smoking, of course doing all of these passionately, effortlessly and his best movies, how great actor actually he is, his simple advise to students, doing daily small things one at a time, Kamal Haasan, Vennira Aadai Murthy and his way of talking with double meaning.
Some best movies of Rajini: Aaril irundhu Arupathu varai, Bhuvana Oru kelvikkuri, Johny, mullum malarum, movies directed by Mahendiran.
Passion.
Do you have plan for yourself, what you want & do?
1. 5 years from now?
2. 3 years from now?
3. 1 year from now?
4. 6 months from now?
5. 3 months from now?
6. before end of tonight?
Make a point: today should be better than yesterday in all aspects. There may be exceptions. But exceptions should really be exception.
how will you communicate something to 1st std child?
Connect to them, in whatever better way they get interested, fun, playful, understanding. Connection should happen 100%. Then communicate two points to them, in simple way which can really be understood, can be internalized by the kids.
Point is: Connect
How will you communicate to College Final year student?
Choose one goal and dedicate yourself with a fixed timeline.
What the best in the field has already told. take Abdul Kalam's speeches. "Dream, Dream, Dream". Dream about what? how Dream will help? Follow the best in the fields. Take inspirations from them. Internalize the inspirations so that you feel it, you do it, you follow it and you innovate some thing new from it and then communicate and energize more people. As you have already living with the principles, you can communicate/feel effortlessly.
The objective is Set One Things. Do whatever you can to achieve that. Start over again.
In Steve Jobs words, You Are Already Naked. There is nothing to Fear. Follow your heart and do what best you can do. There is nothing to lose.
IMAGINE!
DREAM!!
VISION!!!
ENVISION!!!!
Do One Thing. Passionately. Get Inspiration. Do little bit daily, consistently. Develop curiosity.
Few more.
On an average Double your salary every 36 months over a period of 10 years.
Set a Goal, Dream about it, Vision it, Envision it and strive for it. Ultimately you get it.
I start from now. Nothing to lose... Let me start from Now, daily, consistently.

முத்தமிழ் - இயல் இசை நாடகம்
நிறைய விஷயங்கள் - கற்றுக் கொள்ள வேண்டியவை தெரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டியவை - தமிழரின் இயல், இசை, நாடகம்.
சில விஷயங்கள் மறக்கப் பட வேண்டியவை அல்ல . இன்றைய தலைமுறைக்கும், இனி வரும் தலை முறைக்கும் கற்றுக் கொடுக்கப் பட வேண்டியவை.
இன்று விஜய் டிவியில் பார்த்த நிகழ்ச்சி - நிச்சயம் ஒரு மாற்றத்தை உருவாக வேண்டும்.
கலைகள், கலைஞர்கள் - வளர்க்கப் பட வேண்டும், மதிக்கப் பட வேண்டும், குறைகள் களையப் பட வேண்டும்.

Achieving Goals...
This is for myself to keep remind me of, how to do something useful.
1. Set a SMART Goal.
(Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-Bound)
2. Define the Direction by yourself or with the help of mentor.
3. Focus on doing one thing at a time with strict deadlines. (Follow Pomodoro technique - 25 mins of uninterrupted work).
4. Evaluate daily/weekly/monthly depends on the goal and get the feedback from the mentor and take action from the feedback.
Life is Hell, when you redefine something!
We ran JP Morgan Run Chase of 5.6 km distance. Luckily we were able to finish the run (within 50 mins :)). After that was the good discussion (Active Listening mode?) with my mentor/motivator MN. This article is just documentation of his thoughts, as I really liked those and don't want to miss.
We were discussing "N" number of things and the topics varied from E-mail communication to coding to integrity to whole person as package to GOD is Nothing to Nothing is GOD :) with the company of one Barron & Kopi C.
One famous quote was told by him. Though i could not understood it first time, understood with his explanation.
"Life is Hell, when you redefine something!" - Just think of the opposite to this quote.
"Life is Heaven, when you define!" - Innovations/Inventions
Few good points that came when i was listening:
1. Email is very important.
It should be precise, clear cut.
Check the entire email in WORD for segments that needs to be revised.
Punctuation is very essential one.
Write the mails Professionally, though you know the person personally.
Check the format of the mail, bold, high lighted text etc. Pay attention to every mail as if the mail will be sent to the highest person in this world!
2. You are valued as entire package. Make sure that entire package is working fine. No body wants the bits and pieces to work fine, its entirety that makes the difference. Your Integrity, commitment, knowledge etc. all of these matters the most. So you have to be the Whole.
3. Another one came up: DJR's English learning in his 9th annual leave. Though DJR scored 100% in maths and physics, one of his school mate spit on his face, for his poor English. He started watching 4 English movies with sub titles, per day, taking notes, assuming himself as the actor, comparing his dialogue with the actors dialogue etc. He completed 4 note books for taking notes. He wrote an article in English and reviewed for couple of days, multiple times and showed to his father. His father spit on him as the article did not have punctuation or less use of punctuation. He again put effort to correct punctuation. After 35 days of great effort, he went to school, first day in his 10th standard. The first class got over and it had good amount of discussion. DJR was able to answer in English nicely. After the class got over, DJR was called by the Teacher and asked "Is your parent is British or American?". He was speaking English with such a great proficiency. The most happiest moment in DJR's life.
4. Another one was handling of critical issue in office by DJR. The email was one of the wonderful email. Very crisp and compact. Just 10 lines. But it addressed the issue/root cause/why/where etc... clear concise. wonderful mail. I read that mail. I don't know how i could have composed in that pressure scenario. But one of the ultimate mail. Need to really improve the email communication.
5. BILL GATE's use of his wealth to eradicate Polio from the universe. What a greatest thing!!!
6. DJR gave money to his father for running his own business. His father failed for couple of times for different reasons. But at last he became "Entrepreneur of the year" and gifted DJR with a Condominium house. What a greatest fulfillment for being a father and being a son!
7. Common Denominator: This is one of the important thing, at least for me. In every place, there is some protocol. Let us take temples, we assume that, every body who comes in, should be clean. Same way in IT office, everyone should have some proper dress code, which may not be defined in the code of the company but there is some common denominator in every work location. It may vary from company to company, country to country. Wherever we are, we should follow the common denominator, which exists there. Otherwise we may create wrong impression, when someone first see us, which is not good for the company. At the end, we are representing the company. So we create wrong image for the company as a whole. So try to follow/adapt to the common denominator. If it's such a non-sense thing, which you could not adjust, then it's not the place for you. It would be better to remove yourself from the place.
So many more things came. But overall, the highlight:
"Life is Hell, when you redefine something!"
"Life is Heaven, when you define something!"
Happy Thinking...
