A LETTER FROM A GIRL TO JRD TATA IN 1974 (Worth a read..) THE GIRL WRITING AS HERSELF.... It was probably the April of 1974. Bangalore was getting warm and gulmohars were blooming at the IISc campus. I was the only girl in my postgraduate department and was staying at the ladies' hostel. Other girls were pursuing research in different departments of Science. I was looking forward to going abroad to complete a doctorate in computer science. I had been offered scholarships from Universities in the US... I had not thought of taking up a job in India. One day, while on the way to my hostel from our lecture-hall complex, I saw an advertisement on the notice board. It was a standard job-req...

ENJOY YOUR WORK.... YOUR JOB IS NOT a game. But when you approach it like a game, you’ll enjoy it more and you’re more likely to be successful at it. If you want to experience more flow on the job, then, simply learn to become more engrossed in your work. Learn to “get into it.” If your job is stressful or boring, however, becoming absorbed is difficult. If what you’ve got is stress, that means the challenge of your job, either physically or psychologically, is greater than your skills. The answer is to find out what skill you need to improve and work on that. Increase your skill. That’s the answer to stress. Find a way to become absorbed. You’ll enjoy your work more. Get so engrossed in yo...

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, 'This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often.' In this same village, another li...

Mr Manoj, thanks for the referral. Very true indeed. Some one had once told me "Every morning look in the mirror, and decide what face you want to put up today, as the face you put up to others,others will be put up the same to you too".

HAVE. No FEAR. If you were afraid of nothing, what goals would you set? What could you accomplish? What would you do if nothing scared you or made you nervous? Fear stops success. For example, a woman who wants to get married, but she is afraid of men. So she does not get married. Or she marries someone who is wrong for her, just because he does not scare her. If you want to run a business, you will fail if you are afraid of making big decisions. If you want to be a doctor, you cannot be afraid of sick people. If you want to succeed as an athlete, you cannot be afraid of hard, painful practice. Fear of anything can ruin your success: fear of rejection, fear of being excluded, fear of anger,...

It was a merry afternoon at the hall. Oh, one could see that a toy-car race was being held, and the final round is a few minutes away. There were only four participants left and each of them proudly exhibits their own made toy-car. And so it was in fact that the rule of the game, the toy-car had to be one's own handmade. Among the players, were one child whose toy-car wasn't in any way looking marvelous nor special in its look, though surprisingly he was one of the four boys who made it so far to the final round. Compared to his other players, his toy-car was the least magnificent and imperfect. Some of the audience doubted the toy-car capability to race against the other three. Yes, it was...

Rags to Riches..!! An informal Autobiography April 10, 2009 15:24 by Abraham George When 27-year old Sarathbabu graduated from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, he created quite a stir by refusing a job that offered him a huge salary. He preferred to start his own enterprise -- Foodking Catering Service -- in Ahmedabad. He was inspired by his mother who once sold idlis on the pavements of Chennai, to educate him and his siblings. It was a dream come true, when Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy lit the traditional lamp and inaugurated Sarathbabu's enterprise. Sarathbabu was in Chennai, his hometown, a few days ago, to explore the possibility of starting a Foodking unit in ...

We all come across good lessons and messages which should be followed. But there is no place we can share them. Let me share all the nice messages that I come across through this series of emails. Forward them to others too if you like them. This may include short stories, anecdotes from lives of saints, and teachings from our great scriptures. Today's message :- Make a difference, small or big: There was a man taking a morning walk at the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one a...
