Inspiration-The dabbawala way!!!

Hi friends,I just watched a TED show on "Mumbai Dabbawalas" yesterday and that made me believe that the inspiration can not only come to us from the elite group of personalities such as SRK,J.R.D Tata but also from the everyday sphere of life.

 These unnoticeable group of extra-ordinary performers are working in the tiffin business from 1890(so they may not be "angrezo ke zmaane ke jailer" but they are "angrezo ke zmaane ke tiffin suppliers."They are the one who make it possible for an office going person in Mumbai to leave the home at 5 a.m. and still enjoy the taste of home cooked food at the lunch hour.You can judge their efficiency rate by the fact that their error rate is as low as 1 in 16million transactions.They are the only organization in the world which has received the six sigma certification without any application and it shows their success rate till date.

But why are they doing so?They are not earning hefty packages like software engineers as their monthly income is merely Rs5000-6000.Its all because all the members of the organization are showing the trait of "Leading Without A Title" as described by famous success coach ROBIN SHARMA.They take their job as a responsibility without worrying about the returns which they are receiving.There is no dispute in the organization which is proved as there is No-Strike campaign done by this organization till date.Each and every member of the organization considers himself as the CEO of the organization(and most importantly the CEO of his job) and works for its betterment.Imagine if the same group of people were working in a manufacturing firm,what would have been the position of that firm in today's market.

They inspire us to do the best in the role which we are today rather than waiting for promotions or a higher position in the firm.Because if we are good in the role which we are working today we will be noticed for a higher position automatically.But for getting there we need to focus on the present as someone rightly said-"past is history and future is a mystery" so we can't control both.But what we can control is our present and lay a solid foundation for a successful tomorrow.

I hope you all will now work like these dabbawalas and consider your daily tasks as an action of change in the organization you are linked with by leading without a title.
Best of luck
1 life,Rise and Shine.....:)

the end of beginning or the beginning of end-YOU DECIDE

So I am also a member of the great blogging family now.I decided to start blogging at the new year.Any idea why I didn't wrote it on Jan1....because I wanted to write for my friends and at that time you were more politicians taking oath at the parliament(Hum kasam lete hai ki iss semester mein hum 9pointer bn kr dikhaenge and other crap) rather than the friends I know.Now its the best time.....you know why?Because someone who took the resolution to be healthy must be sleeping till 11am after stuffing himself with chicken burgers last night.Someone who took the resolution to read more will be watching dubbed Hollywood movies and by reading its subtitles patting his back as he thinks he is on the right track.

So I am with my real friends now.Guys tell me whats special about this year apart from being a leap year.YES....its the end of the world and we all are heading towards our end ie 31st Dec 2012.Observe carefully this will be the last January of your life....a bit more carefully,last 18th January of your life.

YES!!If its true then what?Should we start screaming at the top of our voice?No,that won't be of any use.Should we panic or get into useless discussion that whether its true or not and live our last 18th Jan without making it count or should we start doing what we really want.Follow our own heart rather than following others gossip(read rumors-U know next year TCS won't be coming for campus placement.How the hell do they know?Are they J.R.D TATA or what!)These people are what I call panicky chicken sitting in the cage of a chicken shop and shouting "aaj hmari turn hai yaar,aaj to hum gye.OMG!"Leave them on their own .Start planning what you need to do before it all ends as if you do so by the end of this year you will be achieving all your major goals and your life will be changed completely.And if you don't realize it now even if the world doesn't ends in 2012 it will end 1 day for you with all your plans remaining only plans and not realities.By the time you realize,it will be too late.It will be like entering into an examination hall,lifting your pen and time up.Answer sheets snatched.You failed!And you better know that there is know supplementary exam in life with yamraj being the invigilator.

So be bold.You know what you want and how to get it.So just get it.If you wanna be super-fit eat less and workout.If you want a job acquire the right skills.Just keep it simple and straight(not gay).Don't stand in between the racetrack and think whether I should complete the race or go back to the starting line.If you have started it complete it.If you want to do something do it completely or don't do it.Let me explain in the language I know the best.Boys,if you like a girl either impress her and make her your girlfriend or leave her.Don't be in between that something is in between us and i think she likes me crap.Don't be in frustrated one sided lovaluv association(FOSLA).You are no JOEY TRIBBIANI of FRIENDS that you will say"Hey,How u doin" and the girl will faint(Beleive me it doesn't work.I tried it and 1 girl said get lost and the other 1 slapped me but still its also a progress from words to touch)You need to do a bit more.

Think of what you want and commit to it whether its money,success,girl anything.AIM BIG.Aim what other define impossible(they say so because they are not able to see the opportunities which you can see). As one of my favourite teacher says-"1 Life,Rise and Shine."

BEST OF LUCK.
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MAKE IT REALY NEW....:)
REMEMBER 31st DEC 2012 IS APPROACHING.....:P
