Mr. Kiran Karnik, former President of NASSCOM, speaking at recently
concluded NASSCOM product conclave had given 3P Mantra for the Product
Startups.
Patience:
It's said that patience is a virtue and this certainly holds true in
practice. It is even truer in this fast-paced society where rush-a-holics and
hurry addicts are in the majority and companies seem to believe that faster
is better. Although patience is sometimes mistaken for sloth, it's the
patient ones who are the most effective time managers. They tend to think
things through before they act and focus more on results than activity.
Following are the few characteristics of patient enterprises.
1. Patient companies fully intend to accomplish all their goals but they
don't expect it to happen overnight. These companies recognize that time is
their ally, not their enemy, and that all goals can be accomplished, given a
realistic time frame. They will not hurry to go to a VC or taking the
company to public
2. Patient enterprises are not thrown off balance by momentary delays. These
enterprises utilize idle time by working on other tasks or new innovations
3. Although patient enterprises utilize idle time and waiting time rather
than get frustrated by the delay, they seldom perform two activities at the
same time if both activities require their attention. So they don't do sales
on a marketing platform.
4. These enterprise plan before they act. Consequently they make good
decisions, wise choices and sound judgments, achieving above average
results.
Persistence:
Know that persistence is the name of the game...and plan accordingly. Those
entrepreneurs that meet success do so because they had the ____ to push and
prod and coddle their business into existence.
They found a way to keep their business moving forward in a strategic and
precisely aligned manner. If something wasn't working for them, then they
changed the way it was done. They looked at their business from many angles
and found a way to proactively design their business to work the way they
needed it to.
"Energy and persistence conquer all things."- Your Entrepreneurial
Predecessor, Benjamin Franklin.
It is very important in sales. Today's "no" doesn't mean, No forever. You
have to keep calling your prospective to customers. It is better to revisit
your sales tracking once in a month and give hello calls to everyone in your
list.
Passion:
Passion but passion is most important for every entrepreneur. Passion is a
beautiful thing. Passion is what keeps you awake at night because you are so
excited about what you are building. Passion is what makes you work on
weekends. Passion is what blinds you to imaginary hurdles. Passion is what
makes you deaf to destructive criticism. Passion more than makes up for lack
of money. Passion attracts talent. Passion attracts customers. Passion
brings pride in what you are doing. Passion sells your product. Passion
sells your dreams. Passion makes you think differently. Passion makes you
less greedy. Passion is what helps you get up after a bad fall. Passion is
what builds great companies. Passion is the only hope for a startup.... and so on! One can go on writing about PASSION!

Free Internet @ Changi Airport, Singapore
When i arrived at Singapore i saw couple of guys sitting here and there and using the internet. I had heard from Bajaj as well about free Wi-Fi access at the airport but when you connect to the free Wi-Fi first, it redirects you to a Q-max page for every URL. The catch is you need to login before you can actually access Wi-Fi.
Just below the login page, there is an account creation page. It asks you couple of details including your phone number, passport number and email id. I mention these three because this is what you can use to obtain your access password. By default, they send your new a/c password to your email id and phone number and for most of the people like me, the phone is NOT on international roaming.
Once registered, you don't know the password but you can go to "Forgot password" link. They will re-ask your passport details, phone number and email id and allow you to reset. Thats it. You are ready to go. Apparently this registration is valid for next 3 years and allows you to access free Wi-Fi from many airports having the same service provider. A small trick helps you access free Wi-Fi and internet and you feel back home. :-) After i went through the work-around, i helped couple more guys who were coming back with me from SFO to India.

My first visit to U S of A - Part I
Well i wasn't as excited as Borat was during his first visit but still there was a thought in mind of exploring what a lot of people consider an achievement of lifetime. Believe it or not; when people return from U S of A, they sometimes cook a lot of stories that would make you feel sorry if you haven't been there. Be thankful to me, cause i'm not going to glorify anything like that :-) Here is my "balance sheet" about U S of A and the silicon valley (yup i went to San Francisco Bay Area in California).
I left on 17th midnight on a Singapore Airlines flight. RPG had suggested to leave atleast 3 hrs before the flight's time to be sure that immigration check etc. get done fast and i had obliged. Luckily i was among the first 10 passengers (guests :D) to reach for that flight. So i had more than 2 and a half hours to kill at bangalore airport (the old HAL one). If you have a company (unfortunately i had none and found none in the waiting area), it probably makes sense to get done fast with the documentation and wait in the seating/waiting area. For me, i got bored; though watching different kind of people(well that includes cute girls!!) waiting in the queue and then reaction from the first timers when they get their immigration done is something you can watch for sometime. :D
My flight was scheduled late night at 11:00PM and i entered the flight around 10:15PM or something. There was a looong queue at the boarding gate, couple of people watching IPL; some food joint nearby and then again some people waiting in nearby seats. The interior of the flight was good and i didn't really know before that this flight would be so big. Their were 3-4-3 seats each row. At the entrance of the gate, two air hostesses would great you: one chinese/singaporean and one indian (well this happened for all the connecting flights on my way from BLR to SFO and vice versa). The idea is good, they have more than 5 female attendants on the flight, atleast one being indian and then couple more male attendants. And useless to mention, all the attendants were good looking and charming :-P
After boarding they served some juices and then i thought to take my regular sleep. Damn, right at 1:30 or 2:00 AM they woke me up for dinner when i was deep in sleep. I felt like hitting that air hostess, but then in sleep i did oblige. :-) When i started, another shock! Somehow my travel agent thought i would be a hardcore veggie that too south indian, she had made special "South Indian Veg Meal" request on my behalf to the airlines. WTH!! Anyway, once served, you can't really do much; that too when you are awaken from a deep sleep; had i started it would have been a fight; so i preferred eating whatever was served. [Moral: Make sure you know what your travel agent is doing with your itinerary before you leave]
I reached Singapore at around 4:00AM IST(Singapore time some 6:00AM). At the transit they will stick a sticker with SFO written on your shirt (well thats mandatory) and give you a transit card like thing. I was told my gate number and that i need to catch some skytrain to reach the next terminal. At first i thought WTH is skytrain, something again that will fly me to the next terminal. Took me sometime to figure that out, but there were "Information Center" counters in my boarding terminal and they were really helpful in finding out where to get this "UFO" (my terminology may not sound appropriate, but thats something i was expecting it to be; something that will fly me to the next terminal and i didn't know what the heck it is, so UFO :D). BTW the "Information Center" counters that i talked about are a great thing for first timers like me. You can wander anywhere with in the airport and if lost, just show your ticket/boarding pass and they will direct you to right way. And the attendants at these counters were all good looking and charming chinese girls [;-)](counting them for couple of my friends).
At my nearest skytrain station, the big display told me that the next one would be coming in a minute. And in exactly a minute a metro like train arrived with two boggies. It was spacious and not crowded at all. Skytrains run from one terminal to another with six minutes frequency. Thats really cool, so if you find a skytrain getting crowded, just wait for the next one. Its all programmed and runs automatically. A loud announcement will tell you before the train doors are going to close. I liked the concept very much. I was dropped at my boarding terminal in a minute or so. I started looking for my boarding gate which seemed quite far from where i had got down on the terminal. Anyways, after walking sometime i reached there. The ambiance at the terminal was really cool. I had kept walking on the floor though there were walking escalators at every regular gaps. And btw you have free wi-fi access at the airport; slight trick gets it working. I wasnt sure about it on my onward journey, explored it while returning to BLR at the lounge. More on this here.
I found free internet terminals at the boarding lounge, every time you login, you have a 15 minute session before the terminal automatically kicks you out. I sent a mail to my friends about my journey so far. Till then i had had my experience with the paper and that was hurting my bum for sometime. I tried making a call from the phone boxes kept in the airport terminal but a human voice responded and asked for my credit card number. I did take risk of revealing my card number but that guy on the other side was real dumb. I repeated the number of couple of times and then hung up. Sincere advice-"Sign up to www.airtelcallhome.com for smaller amounts" and use the toll free numbers to call India from anywhere in the world. I hear couple of my friends also use www.relianceindiacall.com Whatever you choose to use, do create an a/c for smaller amounts (min 5$) before you leave India.
When i reached Singapore, I was feeling like an alien in a new place; but after i left Singapore, i was feeling more comfortable and confident and the later part of journey until SFO was almost unhappening and boring (nothing new). I had to break my journey at Seoul(Korea) before reaching SFO and Seoul was nowhere as compared to Singapore though it was all clean, less crowded and all that. All so boring more because of the south india veggie food, dozing aunty ji sitting in the next seat and my tired mind. You can estimate my boredom if i tell you that i watched Om Shanti Om en tour and i actually liked parts of the movie... :D I know couple of you would be laughing out loud.. thats what happens when you are alone and bored and have no good company. Whatever!!!! I finally reached SFO. Wait for the next part of my travelogue...

Thought of the day
Every age has its own issues and problems; its just that as we move on, the nostalgia about the past hides the bad and worse and tends to highlight the goods more than its actual worth. Remember the "bad" is always there even if you don't see it; because if its not, there is no way the "good" even exists.

Balance sheet for 2007
Thats right.. balance sheet for 2007 :) Last few weeks have been really happening; for good and for bad. I was sitting y'night with my roomies discussing the ups and downs of the Indian stock market and why it happened (if at all we had any clues); and it came my mind that the entire year in my life has been like the sensex reaching peaks and touching craters; and i've no idea why. All-in-all its been a great year, for those achieved targets because they made me happy and confident; even for those failed wishes i couldn't fulfill because they made me learn quite many things. So i just thought to, well, list all the highs and downs and calculate my net gain/loss this year :D and started this post. However sorry to disappoint you it got too personal midway and so i left in between and moved to my secret notepad hosted by Y! Notepad. Couple of things that were really happening and can go on public record ;-) included my great job with great guys (was very much enjoying all that i was doing there and the people i was working with; with special mention of my mentor), made couple of trekkings with 3000, doggie, kabbu and rpg, found couple of school friends on social networks (met a few personally, promised others that i will meet them soon, though i'm yet to), lost some weight and learnt a bit of fitness mantra (hell, i had to spend quite some money for it), met few relatives on my couple of tours back home (it had been more than 5-8 years since the last time). Well thats it. I'm not going to share the failures, thats for me :D, both the learnings and failures..

Golden Rules for Career Success by Richard Moran
WORKING as a business consultant all over the world, I have discovered some basic career-related rules that everyone should know—but many don’t.
Business is made up of ambiguous victories and nebulous defeats. Claim them all as victories.
Keep track of what you do; someone is sure to ask.
Be comfortable around senior managers, or learn to fake it.
Never bring your boss a problem without some solution. You are getting paid to think, not to whine.
Long hours don’t mean anything; results count, not effort.
Write down ideas; they get lost, like good pens.
Always arrive at work 30 minutes before your boss.
Help other people network for jobs. You never know when your turn will come.
Don’t take days off sick—unless you are.
Assume no one can/will keep a secret.
Know when you do your best—morning, night, under pressure, relaxed; schedule and prioritize your work accordingly.
Treat everyone who works in the organization with respect and dignity, whether it be the cleaner or the managing director. Don’t ever be patronizing.
Never appear stressed in front of a client, a customer or your boss. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: In the course of human events, how important is this?
If you get the entrepreneurial urge, visit someone who has his own business. It may cure you.
Acknowledging someone else’s contribution will repay you doubly.
Career planning is an oxymoron. The most exciting opportunities tend to be unplanned.
Always choose to do what you’ll remember ten years from now.
The size of your office is not as important as the size of your pay cheque.
Understand what finished work looks like and deliver your work only when it is finished.
The person who spends all of his or her time is not hard-working; he or she is boring.
Know how to write business letters—including thank-you notes as well as proposals.
Never confuse a memo with reality. Most memos from the top are political fantasy.
Eliminate guilt. Don’t fiddle expenses, taxes or benefits, and don’t cheat colleagues.
Reorganizations mean that someone will lose his or her job. Get on the committee that will make the recommendations.
Job security does not exist.
Always have an answer to the question, “What would I do if I lost my job tomorrow?”
Go to the company Christmas party.
Don’t get drunk at the company Christmas party. Avoid working at weekends. Work longer during the week if you have to.
The most successful people in business are interesting.
Sometimes you’ll be on a winning streak and everything will click; take maximum advantage. When the opposite is true, hold steady and wait it out.
Never in your life say, “It’s not my job.”
Be loyal to your career, your interests and yourself. Understand the skills and abilities that set you apart. Use them whenever you have an opportunity.
People remember the end of the project. As they say in boxing, “Always finish stronger than you start.”

"Creepers"-A play about Bangalore the city and people who love it
I often get lost while thinking about beginning of a post so this time i thought it would be about the confusion itself, hehe.. coming to this post, i went to rangashankara again and this was my fourth play there (or perhaps i should say third only because i wasn't let in there because of being late for the third one; i appreciate their discipline though, atleast there are couple of guys serious about things they do). I've few friends who are not in bangalore but want to know about the plays i see at times so here i go with my interpretation of "Creepers". I prefer going to theaters to movies because everytime i find some message in the play deep inside; the abstractness at which they present their idea is overwhelming. You wonder where it is going until it reaches the end and you suddenly find relation between what all was performed so far. Its a nice experience, let me tell you :)
"Creepers" is a story about a bangalore couple. The guy is one of those netaholic s/w engineer who spends a lot of time on his laptop writing blog notes, checking orkut scraps and emails and wandering the cyberspace for what you could easily guess.. the girl is an art enthusiast as she says in one of the scenes with pride that she has a BA in arts and going for Masters soon. Both are trying to depict a story, a story about "bangalore-the city" that it was and that it is becoming. They have different perceptions about the changes that are happening. The guy likes the changes the IT revolution has brought in but the girl wonders where it is all going, why everything is becoming so complex. She wonders about the change in culture, change in people's attitude and the big crowd that has suddenly grown beyond what the city ever expected to host. The play starts with comedy with the funny arguments between the two but slowly brings the play into its context. For half of the play the writer probably tried to show how consumed we are today in our online life than the offline/real life doing things that probably don't make much sense (checking email even if there are none, checking scraps even if there are none, watching online videos etc instead of spending time with your friends and family and many similar thoughts). In the beginning itself the play questions you "what will happen to your email when you die? expire? ohh well but what about your online presence in orkut/hi5/facebook?" In the second half play shows the changes of life in bangalore through the eyes of this couple as they go through different phases of life. I loved the way the play shows how they have grown up from one stage of life to another (youth to older and older). They don't say much directly but there conversation itself makes you think and feel whats happening. Dialogues are mostly repeating but the body language of the actors on the stage speak what they wanted to convey. Just loved this part of the play. At the end they relate to Madhuvanti and Lavanya story of "Vikram Baitaal" in current context of bangalore and all those who love the city. In one line they tried to say "the city is dead but i live with its bones and ashes because i love it". This is something i've heard time and again from people who have spent time in bangalore say some 5 years ago from now. They just wonder when they visit here now, is this is the same city they once knew. The infrastructure has not been able to keep up with the growth that IT sector brought in here. Perhaps the rate of growth was too fast for the infrastructure growth to catch up with. I'm not a native of bangalore and have spent some significant time of my life in Calcutta and hyderabad but i must say i love bangalore the most. I would end this post with the note that the play probably wanted to leave "The city is dead but i live with its bones and ashes because i love it"
