Aug 3rd : Meaning Behind It

screen-shots of my diary on August 3rd
I live a philosophical life with full concentration on wholeness rather than a single celled ideology. So I have come to see that August 3rd is more important to me than my birthday, cause this is the day when I actually started my journey into the wilderness with full consiousness.

It was on August 3 that I started my newly owned life in Bangalore. Remembering my uncertainty at that time, the only thing I was sure about was finding myself. I think I have in many ways found myself in last 3 years. There is this wonderful saying - "You change because you have not found yourself yet". So I am still changing and the process of perfecting continues.

It also happens that unknowingly, I tend to take into new journey every August. May be its because of its position in the yearly calender. But beside me, I know that there are hundred of Nepalese students who embark on their educational journey to America, UK and other areas on this very month. Which says more about the auspiciousness of the month. And I think many people out there will agree that there is certain mystery around August month.

But not all my journey on August have turned out better. I have had bitter experiences on some August where disappointment have lead me to take different path. But different path is always there for a good. So I am eagerly waiting for the new revelation which should happen this year.

But I am already optimistic about this year, as my this August have started with a wonderful delight. With new journey and risk, there is always new people to meet and create new relationships. I must say, this August has surprised me :) and I am looking forward to it. This means that I have already taken one risk, now there is the second one that I need to take.

For last 3 years, entrepreneurship has taught me lot and continues to do so, never stopping. And I always feel, its the start and not the end, and many things happen in between.

One more interesting fact about August, which I found and was delighted by it :

On the evening of 3 August 1492, Columbus departed from Palos de la Frontera with three ships; one larger carrack, Santa María, nicknamed Gallega (the Galician), and two smaller caravels, Pinta (the Painted) and Santa Clara, nicknamed Niña after her owner Juan Niño of Moguer. - wiki

  7. my experience goes like this, "when we are students, we have hopes and dreams and once we step into the real world, many factors such as finances, families interplay with our dreams. Their contributions can be positive as well as negative".
    I believe that success comes to those who can find a silver lining in the cloud of negativities and adapt to the differences like you have in the past. I admire your honesty and perseverance to keep on going and I wish you the very best for this special month and many years ahead.

Selling a Comb to a Bald Person?

Here my friend, Ashay, put it very truly to me that the marketer's most challenge is to sell a comb to a bald. First, I am not trying to justify anything here. But I just couldn't help thinking how on earth am I going to sell a comb to a bald. How? Just how? I kept pondering upon it till late night. I actually had very few options with me, the first was obviously to use Google and Find? :) But, I didn't do that. Some how I was still in confusion. Then just before going to sleep, I had an discussion with my other friend, on types of marketing on issues related to customer centric marketing. Hmm. Then some how it hit me. I went back to basic on my own philosophy, sell things that is needed. So here is a small anecdote I prepared : Sale Person   : Hello sir. How are you? Do you have a time, plzzz? Bald Person : (Almost confused and in social causality) OK OK what is it? I don't have time. Sale Person    : Here sir, do you want to by a comb?  Bald Person  : Can't you

Fearful Consumer Market

Consumer market is something, I always feared. During my engineering days, I knew it was one area where I would not find myself working. I always feared the harsh competition of the market. I worried if ever, anything I made would sustain in the market. Or how people would react to it? You can say, I feared criticism and all the yap yap of group of people, who knows only how to suggest but not to act. Thus, I kept my interest into custom projects and not related to anything that a single consumer would use, rather it was something of community service. But with changing time, I knew I had to make a plunge into the ocean of consumer market and face the competition. "Be a man! Dude" That is what I would say to myself. I knew I couldn't swim, but I had to give it a try.  Journey into the consumer market is like that of 20000 Leagues Under The Sea . There are so many different kinds of creatures around to look and be fascinated. Some are small living in tiny groups. Some are
