THE POWER OF LOVE
Love gives the power to heal any wound,
to move mountains,
to pass each day successfully,
The love u showed on me gave me strength to make it through my worst days,
Our love pushed me,
motivated me and
strengthened me to be for what I am now!!!
I finally understood that love can conquer anything if it is pushed far enough!
I love u so much!
You are special to me!
It is really powerful!
Give me a chance and I will give u this world,
Yet ultimately my love is more beautiful than this world
And I will give you my love!!!!

Hamara Bajaj, An Indian who stood by Indian..........

Like most middle class children in India, I have been literally brought up on it. And when I hear those unforgettable words, ‘Hamara Bajaj‘, they mean a whole world to me.
It is very difficult to imagine my Grand father without his scooter, the reliable workhorse that has stood by him, always. To me it symbolizes everything that he stands for - his sacrifices, his struggles against all odds, his perseverance, honesty and diligence towards everything, and even his love and care. It is a complete picture in itself, but pictures would be incomplete without it.
And that phrase holds for India as a whole, a complete era gone by captured by one symbol -
‘Hamara Kal, Hamara Aaj, Hamara Bajaj‘. The proverbial common man summed up in all his hopes and failures, a spirit that refused to die amidst dreams that could never fly. The ‘license raj‘ India was the potholed roads all around, and the scooter was the common man, diligently negotiating the twists and bumps on two small wheels, shouldering responsibilities much beyond his capacities but seldom complaining - those were our fathers (and their scooters), weren’t they?
How can one forget those days of ‘Hum do, Hamare do‘? It was perfect for those ‘complete family’ rides, when car was a luxury much beyond the common man’s reach and the ‘Nano’ was not even known as a dream. The humble scooter was trusted, loved and depended upon, like family. And it marched along, matching every step with the common man, taking every pothole in its stride, sometimes breaking down but never giving up. That was ‘Hamara Bajaj‘, which delivered India from the hopeless days of ‘license raj‘ to the unbound aspirations of liberalization and globalization.
And having done its job, our friend and companion for two complete generations is walking off to sunset, all by itself. All good things, they say, must come to end. But it might be more than just a coincidence that the genesis of ‘Nano’ lies in the picture of a family of four traveling on a scooter, the picture that moved and inspired Mr. Ratan Tata. Like the proverbial friend who always gives, this was perhaps the parting gift from a true friend and companion, ‘Hamara Bajaj, Hamara Kal‘.

YOU DON’T NEED TO BE 100% RIGHT!!!!!!!!


When Theodore Roosevelt was in the White House, he confessed that if he could be right 75 percent of the time, he would reach highest measure of his expectation.

If that was the highest rating that one of the most distinguished men of the 20th century could hope to obtain, what about you and me?

If you can be sure of being right at least 55 percent of the time, then you can go down to Share Market of India and make Millions of rupees per day. And if you can’t be sure of being right 55 percent of the time, why should you tell others they are wrong?

You can tell people they are wrong by a look or a intonation or a gesture just as eloquently as you can in words and if you tell them you are wrong, do you make them to agree with you? Never! For you have struck a direct blow at their intelligence, judgement, pride and self respect. That will make them want to strike back. But it will never make them want to change their minds. You may them produce at them all the logic of Plato or Socrates but you will not alter their opinions, for you have hurt their feelings.

Never begin by announcing ‘I am going to prove so and so to you.’ That’s bad. That’s tantamount to saying: ‘I m smarter than you are.’

That’s a challenge. It arouses opposition and makes the listener want to battle with you before you even start.

I have developed a simple philosophy to such situations in ma life and that is.
“Be wiser than other people if you can; but do not tell them so.”

So from now if you are going to prove anything, don’t let anybody know it. Do it so subtly, so adroitly, that no one will feel that their intelligence or self respect is challenged……..

Lastly I would like to add what Socrates said so beautifully,
One thing I know, and that is that I know nothing.”
