Received this wonderful gift from Sudha Murty ma'am today, a blanket with 3000 stitches made by 3000 sex workers who were rehabilitated & given a wonderful new occupation through her truly missionary work with Infosys Foundation. What a lady, a lot of stories coming SOON!
Money - doesn’t matter in getting a bed. Money matters when fancy hospitals ask for 2 lakhs a day in CASH for a bed. Greed is visible end so is generosity of normal ppl. Covid is a brutal teacher. Yet, hope remains in common, unknown people, they are the heroes.

My father told me never to take my foot off a ladder to kick at someone who was kicking at me. When I did that, I would no longer be climbing. While they are kicking I shd keep climbing. They can kick only one time. If I continued to climb, they would be left behind. Steve Harvey
He is known for provoking polarising reactions for his journalism. In this interview, Arnab Goswami answers questions that've never been put to him before -- on his journalism style, on being accused of political leanings, entrepreneurial journey, & much more.

I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than when they got up & boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you. C.Munger
Two of my team members called & asked to cut their salary bcoz they see it is a difficult time & they want to stand with me.This makes me cry with so much gratitude. How can I do that ever? Rather it’s the fuel that will make us run & overcome every possible challenge.

All pain, rejection, loneliness we experience bows down to purpose and resilience. It’s going to be hard and full of sufferings, but every pain has a compounding effect of giving deepest sense of fulfilment in due course of time. Don’t give up just as yet. ❤️

While there is soooo much to be angry & upset about for what is happening around us, there are so soo many ppl with little or no means who are being angels & relentlessly helping ppl all around. Love u all who show that it's the resilient and caring heart that refuses to give up.
Question I have had over the last 12 years. When u love, encourage, support you are not cool. When u criticise, ridicule, put down others & bulls... gyan you are considered a hero & intellectual platform. Why? Naysayers are in plenty. True lovers are very few. Lean in to help.🧡
This election clearly proves that what happens in AC rooms have nothing to do with what happens on the ground. Game of throne is fought on the ground, in the FIELDS.

The idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test ur blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. & then, guess what? After u start doing the thing, thats when motivation comes & makes it easy for u to keep on doing it. J. Maxwell
Why weren’t we taught in school to sometimes just sit back and relax and do nothing? And, just be ok to just BE.learning to just being. Lots of ❤️let’s just be and let others be :-)

Things don’t get any easy with time. But you learn to take it easy with time. So whatever is bothering today will stop bothering in time. That’s the promise of journey made with time. So, hoping you have a a good time irrespective of what’s happening at this point of time. 😍🙌

I feel foolish to call my father and say "happy
#FathersDay
his reply will be - did you see a doctor? how can you become so dramatic?
Now that's a Bihari father for you. So basically, I am no more into father and mother days, they define all my days, every day.
Thank you, 9 years of continued TechSparks, gets special because of the incredible love of all the entrepreneurs, all the speakers who come & crazy madness of my team. Thank you, see you for the tenth next year.

When startups are all becoming about funding, valuation and IPOs and constant catch up game, gossips and pulling down, let’s not forget the real heart and soul of being and doing - the why we exist, why we started and our starting line. Purpose over noise. ❤️

If you have nothing to give you still have a smile, kindness, a listening ear and your presence to give. Sometimes it’s so much bigger than anything else on earth. Give it generously and you might make a world of difference. 🧡
God, thank you I was not born to money. I was born with the richness of love and respect and courtesy. And humility. Thank you to my middle class upbringing.

Honest business models will survive in the long run, time will prove. U don’t need to prove it to the world ( not about funding, not about PR, not about GMVs), honesty survives. Are you solving a genuine problem. Period.

Who knows what success, name, fame & all that actually means and feels.I wish you and I feel lots of love,💗compassion, & what it means to be alive & breathing in 2019. Let’s laugh a little more & choose to make a little more mistakes & live through it all. 2019 here we come.❤️
Trust doesn’t come from big statements and gestures but little, little, small things that one does everyday, in every thing in every way. And it’s a lifetime activity. 🤗💛
Humility, openness to listen to “other” point of view & a loving heart will never, ever go out of fashion. Never. Ever. Whoever said being emotional & sensitive was being weak never actually lived..and lived with pain & humiliation and deep rooted scars. Lots of ❤️, let’s Live.
We all need to step up. Plz, plz stay at home, wear mask all the time. Medical infrastructure is crumbling & each one of us have to contribute by staying home/wearing mask. We owe this to ourselves & our country and everyone who needs a hospital bed & oxygen cylinder. All of us.
Love, forgive, forgive and forgive and be at peace with each and everyone. And to all feeling low and alone, lots and lots of love. We will pass through this too. ❤️
While you say this Sir, have to mention this - what would cricket be without your commentary. You’ve brought class, soul, depth and incredible insight to the game, for us, for years. Respect
@bhogleharsha
you remain a class apart.
The morning after. Disappointment. But an awareness that we saw this team play special cricket for 10 games in a row. And a big big shout-out to Rahul Dravid; stayed in the background while the team was winning, fronted up when the team lost. Backed players, created a fantastic

Desperation.Helplessness.acute pain around. Only thing keeps one going is the selflessness so many are showing & going out of the way to help. In darkness there is light. U might not make the headline but u make one believe in life. To all feeling alone,a big tight hug I feel u❤️
If 10 years of YourStory has meant anything, it is this, the family I have found in my team. Team is everything, it’s my biggest strength and one that keeps me running despite of the pain, challenges and ridicule. Love you

While we do so so many things everyday, we forget to breathe and cherish and feel every breath and then just like that the breath goes away. Death is a heartbreaking reminder that life is in every breath we take.
Who knows what is success? But the path becomes fun and so meaningful when through it all you remain curious, humble, kind, loving and FORGIVING. Nothing beats a truly carefree heart. ❤️💖.

The more I experience ppl of all kinds the more I realise startup is not a company, bunch of ppl, ideas, coolness etc. Startup is an Attitude, it’s a mind-frame. And age, gender etc etc is no bar.

Biggest oxymoron - “dil pe mat le yaar” But dil hi to hai, everything important is a matter of heart. To all hearful ppl embrace your breathing heart. One life after all. 💛🧡
My learning of 2017, when you have love, honesty and compassion - koi kya ukahhad lega? Let’s not succumb to the world and it’s ever changing, selfish and short term demands. We die alone, let’s enjoy living alone. Crowd and opinions of ppl is so damn boring. 💗
