The winning teams at the most exciting time on Independence Day at IU CARES event!

The winning teams at the IU Cares Event. They did a splendid task of collecting more than Rs.3052/- of funds - and donated about 110 Dental Kits! The other team spent 3 hours in a old age home making the day joyous and memorable for those who were left unattended by their families.

It was really touching to know what everyone else did as well. Follow that at www.iucares.org and www.facebook.com/iucares.

You can also volunteer by submitting your email on the home page of the site and we shall get back to you once we have further events. Thank you!

Peer pressures are killing dreams & purposeful lives of many! Fight it!

The peer pressures in the world are increasing by the day. There are enough people to advise but none to mentor. People are trying to pull us on all sides, the moment they see you are talented they all want your service and work and then at one point when they feel they have had enough of you, you are left wandering all alone.

They want you to become this, they want you to become that, either because they couldn't become what they wanted or because they need someone like that. It it unites with what your passions are, interests and capabilities are - Great! Else once they are gone, you are left in no-man's land. For, the reason for which you started doing what you did, itself doesn't exist. Hence if you are mentored to become what your passions are - then the source of ignition is something you are not dependent on and that is what a great mentor or a leader is, who makes himself irrelevant once he shows the path and that's why he is bestowed with the title of a great leader.

But today, people title themselves mentors and coaches and every other person is coaching others to have a successful living though they themselves are still search of their own purpose of existing. It's always to share knowledge and information but to share wisdom you first must own experience.

Meanwhile, to convey this message of what is happening to a lot of us today - when we are being pulled on all sides - Here is a small video that I have created.

Inspired from my first creation which you must have watched in the previous blog: Be Yourself!

A small message today: "BE YOURSELF!!!" (Conveyed trough a video!)

In today's world its a common sight to see that people are being carried away by trends. That which becomes a trend people flock it and suddenly when the trend is out-dated, people are left confused. It's a need to empower masses and make them follow sustainable trends, so that they could make a worthwhile mark and add meaning to their existence.

Trend setters' objective is to have people flocking! But, the ones that are clean in objective and have a true genuine impact to progress the mankind are truly appreciated for being trends. Those that simply divert and make men get mislead, are many in the world today. This is disheartening!

I believe a visual always has a great impact on mind and hence I created a small video to give my message. Hope you interpret right and are able to catch the depth of what I am trying to convey. Do share to help this message reach more people!



Thank you!

Make sure you are not being played by the trends and you know to make a choice/call and you support visions that are truly sustainable and not those that are around for a little time and have no specific target or impact on the mankind!

Stop THINKING, Start DOING! Get out of your comfort zone! Make it HAPPEN!

A million times procrastination eats us up, do we eat it up a few times in return. Once you decide to eat up procrastination feeling each time it comes, you realize you are over-eating. Should you decide to continue to turn obese. It's the best thing that could happen. It's good to get obese eating up your procrastination feeling. Become a doer not a thinker and a planner alone. It's important to think and plan, but most important to do as doing gets you into the mode of executing your plan.

Most of us feel lethargic or bound by things we don't know or confronted by obstacles we fear we can't clear to reach our goals. But if goal is what is in our eyes and we are determined to reach there, we might hit a few obstacles on the way, we might jerk and fall but eventually making it there would feel heavenly and divine, defining the purpose of our existence. It would make us feel ecstatic and give us the thrill nothing ever gave, the pain of the journey would seem too trivial in front of the joy of having made it.

Majority of the times, what we fear is but a small of peck of dust in front of the abilities we have not explored that lie inside us. Faith is the only thing we can count on, besides counting on the fact that we have nothing to lose in this life, if we fail our attempts. But not moving ahead with attempts means a loss of attitude - the loss of winning attitude! We can't afford this one. Hence, JUST GO ALL OUT!

IF you are thinking of an idea and feel it's difficult to materialize it, start believing in it's happening, in it's execution at it's best, you will soon see one by one, right people, right resources, right energies coming together to make your idea the super hit that you desire it to be. It's time to MOVE OUT of your comfort zone and make your LIFE the path rest would want to follow! The generations would thank god for having brought you to planet earth for having made a remarkable presence while you lived.

HAPPY DOING!!!
Become HUMAN DOINGs - Don't just remain HUMAN BEINGS!

INFLUENCE Matters! So BEWARE of what is influencing YOU!

Friends - Life is a sum total of all experiences we go through.

Not going into too much of depth of psychology(as this a blog and not a book to be written), but still keeping the depth sufficient, I would love to share this aspect of all our lives that

It is natural to act on information that goes into our mind, that makes it's groove on our heads. The direction of action is aligned to the path of the groove on our mind. Majority of the times even we do not understand a few decisions we take, they are a result of what beliefs we have formed over years due to the circumstances we were a part of, things we have read, people we have listened or things we have listened to (tv, radio, videos etc), things we have seen(movies, incidents etc.) or people we surrounded ourselves with.

What I essentially try to convey through this is that not all are born with or develop the ability to ensure they keep away from negative influences or they don't let negative things influence them. It doesn't affect you when your will power is strong or the positive things that have influenced you already are way too large & deep in their influence than the negative ones can be.

By positive i refer to things that lead to your progress, growth, they have positive impact on the society, they have their foundation in positive and cultured values, they are fruitful towards the progress of the world and society at large. By negative I refer to those that lead to inculcating anti-social qualities and negative habits in you.

What I intend to convey from here is that ensure:

1. You keep yourself in the company of good people, who are well informed, educated, positive, energizing, have positive attitudes, optimistic, have good leadership qualities, have positive habits, have vision and make most of their time.

2. Watch serials, sitcoms, movies, videos, documentaries that essentially give you a direction a quality message, knowledge, information etc. Keep away from films that project unnecessary glamour, over philosophical stuff, excessive violence, negative traits (jealousies, frustrations, depressions, drug addictions). Since it's not a possibility to invest time on things that are devoid of these things in today's world - Put your best efforts to ensure till you are capable of inferring right things and not getting negatively influenced just because it has been glamorized on screen(small/big - sitcoms or movies). Movies may reflect someone's life, it may not have things applicable to your life. Know all, but decide what suits yours. Don't be over moved by something, don't not learn things.

3. Read stuff that can make you feel good about yourself. Read stuff that can inspire you, that can build your knowledge, make you positive, strong, wise, help you build depth, and diversity in your perceptions. Engaging in reading about crime, murders, rapes, thefts etc. (regularly might only keep those running on your minds!

4. Be part of events, conversations, programs, meetings, friend circles that can have positive influences in your life, build your wisdom, help you progress, makes you feel up and progressing. Don't be parts of conversations that are about bitching about others, talking things that make absolute non-sense, corrupt, vulgar, (sound cool, but are not) etc.

Majority of the times people surrender to being a part of things that their peers are involved in, it hurts later when you discover that there are better ways of living. So next time you are involved in a group of people who are all doing similar things, do not conclude that it's the way of life. Find out if that has adverse effects, any advantages, if it can help you move forward, feel positive and feel good about yourself(not temporarily).

Just to ensure you are friends with someone do not try and do things you will only regret later.

Hope this blog helps you be conscious of what you are feeding your mind with, for, what goes in comes out! Feed your mind right for right actions to come out of you.

HAPPY LIFE! MAY YOU LIVE THE MOST HAPPENING LIFE!

Movies Make Sense! So does our LIFE!

No beating around - Here I come straight to the point: There is lot to learn from every movie you watch. It's what you take from it that counts. If you can put efforts to think on lines of the movie and put a little effort to relate to the movie & not take that little effort as an effort actually, & as a defeat to your objective of getting entertained; then possibly you could come back with a big deal of message and entertainment. Besides you would also not kill the hours of your life for nothing.

It could matter to you and of course to more people than just you, for, if it mattered to you and coached you with something it would matter to all those you would connect to in future. A director does not put his effort for nothing. he definitely has an objective behind making the movie which has complete sense or reason or an objective. It rolls down in number money wise because it cannot engage a lethargic audience who has come with an objective of spending their 3 hours with an objective they have defined. Large audience is there to kill time really well.

At times the making of the movie does not have a style that is engaging. I do agree. But I feel when I have been to movies, I tune myself to the rythm of the movie. I look at it from the director's perspective. If at the end of it I don't make any sense(which is never the case) I would possibly still appreciate the patience it takes to make something like this which has no sense and spend millions on it.(No one would want to do that)

The objective with which I write this blog is to let you all know that every life has meaning and every one does things, because it makes sense to them. If you can relate to the doer's mindset you could help him do things on a plane where majority of people he meets he would be able to influence and hence fulfilling life shall not elude him/her.

You can learn from every story of your past if you gave a little attention to it that it deserved with right bent of your mind for your future. All lessons that you need for your future to make it as happening as you desire and to make happen things you desire, you just need a deeper introspection and a neat glance at your own movie. The movie you directed is not flop. Just ask yourself what is your objective and you could create an interval where you want and twist the complete storyline towards what end you desire!

HAPPY ENDING is the definite goal and the good news is - it's achievable. DEFINITELY!!!

Genuineness May Not Get Repaid Well; Still Be Genuine!!!

Just because you think you are genuine and you think you are doing enough for the world and hence the world is going to sweetly unfold it’s feather like arms to you to give you a warm hug, May be I am the best person to let you know that it’s one of the slightly less modest fantasies of your wonderland and worth an awesome positive short story script.

Trust me friends, having travelled a no of places, having engaged a no of negotiation meetings, having met a lot of people, having committed and delivered a lot of things, having done some business this far this has been of such a common notice to me, personal experiences and experiences of people whom I have met, that there are enough no of people sitting out there, to cheat you, stab you, eat you up, take your services without a whisker size thought of paying you for them.

It’ s too often that I used to wonder when I was a child, like most of you did, I presume, that why do people not love each other, why do they not trust each other, why does negative have to rule the positive or rule over the positive, the answer is pretty clear and vivid today, In the miniature level where I play today, the numbers are small, the size is minute, but I have learnt from this universe, the model has to be understood and extrapolated to size desired.

Hence, I understand as it gets bigger, the numbers shall grow, but the basic model and algorithm of functioning is something that will remain the same, as I have learnt today. The only way you can still feel great and positive, is that the whole lesson amidst all this is to understand that this is the road to wisdom, the wisdom of being able to worth your work, the wisdom of numbers, the wisdom of anticipation, the wisdom of calculation, the wisdom of being able to gauge the disaster estimate before the tsunami has risen full swing, the wisdom to live life in the worst case scenario.

The WCS rule of HAPPINESS. It’s for sure, that things will be hit at times, at times you will be delivered less than what you are promised, people will steal away your pie, ruthlessly deny your deserved share, hence it’s best to stand tall and live life in the WCS expectation. Work and believe in the BCS but plan according to the WCS.

One shall never have to stop or pause in such a scenario. People who stab you or deceive you, think that if they did this to you, it would mean a huge loss to you and you would come back to them to grow yourself, if not them, you cannot stand tall, prove them wrong, teach them the lesson of love, GIVE THEM LOVE in return for the STABBING they just served you. Their life will sink in embarrassment, and if they are human deep down, they will silently learn this chapter from you – sooner or later. They shall remember you forever for what you have been.

My conclusion is: Friends – GOD never promised GOD-like people around us. One in millions is lucky to have a few around him or even one who is truly and totally genuine. The one who is genuine rewards his men more than what they deserve, who helps them grow beyond himself, who helps them climb the ladder and takes them from where they could have been to where they never could have imagined to be.

GAME OF LIFE: Hit across a millions to find a few GEMs – Genuinely Exquisite Mature Supporters.

"Grass on the other side is always GREENER!" BULL SHIT!

Life on the other side is always green. Is it true? Friends, this is true, because a person who is down, frustrated and does not love his life or what he does, is bound to fell that someone else's life is more greener than his/her his. The long instilled philosophy in all of us today, that if you do what your heart says you are more content and satisfied than when you are doing what someone else is expecting you to do is causing all the trouble.

Truth is what you discover. Live your life and discover the truth of your life, your constraints, your situations, your problems, your answers, your happiness is too unique to you, live to make a great life out of your life's situations. Don't model in comparison to bill gates' life, neighbor's life or for that matter your brother's, parents' or your spouse's life. See what can make all happy. By not keeping others happy, you are digging your own grave.

If you can expect and tell yourself what you are expected to do is what you love to do, the problem gets solved if the question is of being content. But the ego doesn't allow this to happen, for your ego continuously reminds you of the fact that "you are adjusting.." you are not originally happy. That is the job of ego - can you believe it gets paid for it. It gets paid for it and it's returns are the no of issues it creates in your life.

The other facet of life is when you are expected to do things in a particular way and someone who is expecting you to do something is doing the same in an opposite way, it causes the greatest hurdle to accept what is happening and stay happy - the first thing that hits the mind is the comparison that "why are you expected to do when he/she can do the opposite". Life has sort of instilled in us through various media - the joy of ownership, the joy of having control. This has it's strengths and hazards. The hard side to it is we forget to draw the line, where to seek control, what to seek control in and when to let go; with whom to seek and with whom to let go.

More the philosophies more the confusion. The greatest solution of life is in understanding that life is far more simpler than we all think it is. Nevertheless it may not be easy, as we all expect it to be. But it's simplicity lies in the fact that if you love what you get, you would sooner or later get what you love. The most toughest thing is to believe in this, because the distractions are many and at times when you are made to feel by the various media that surround you (including FB, tv, movies, newspapers etc) that your life is hell and others are having a ball, the horrendous effects of your ego/self image multiply.

The more often you watch things you want to do, being glamorized and showing people really seeking pleasure out of it, the more you would want to do it.

One finest example that I would love to quote, is the way media has glamourized romance, love, relationships, outings, travels, which has made people seek all of this only to realize these no way fall close to the expected pleasure they might give that the media sets in us. It's an exaggerated view that is set in us and hence what follows is an exaggerate expectation. Life's purpose is to attend to the dreams of the collective set of most important people you love and ofcourse yourself eventually (but eventually is what we forget).

Likewise in relationships the ego plays havoc. People have forgotten roles. The role of a pilot is to fly the plane and hostess needs to assist the passengers. We tend to think pilot can fly the plane the way he wants and he has complete control and is more fortunate than any of us. But we fail to realise he feels equally more responsible for all the lives, he is accountable, he is also flying an expected route, he is going through deeper and greater strain (mentally) so needs better relaxation and rest. A lot of us end up comparing that what we are doing is equally BIG and great and hence we deserve to enjoy and celebrate as much as the pilot does and we should be paid equally as well.

If reason is we are not treated that well, because we are not pilots our ego is all set to argue that we have the capacity to be pilots as well. After becoming one we only realise it's not the post that makes us happy or something that our ego made us do, we would be happy even otherwise. Now the most important thing - In relationships roles have to be truly well understood and accepted and not compared. Comparison causes more damage than good it is capable of causing. It's best if we all did realize that It's happiness that makes us become the best of whatever post we are from.

If you are the manager you are made to sit in a cabin and if you are the receptionist you are made to sit at the reception table. It's not to give one more pleasure and other more pain. It's just the nature of the work. It's perception that counts.

A marital relation has similar roles. Having travelled the world am observing these divorce cases on a very large scale and the alarming rate at which they are increasing is not funny. It's simply because what is done by the wife is to be done by the husband and what is done by the husband is to be done by wife. Simply because they want it to be FAIR. I dont understand in between love and relationships where does the word FAIR come from. Fair needs to come when there is one job that is only giving pain and other only giving pleasure. It is general nature to believe that working and having a career is something that gives you pleasure, and home management is a painful & pitiable work. SO balancing that is fair. THIS make NO SENSE.

Once a great man said "All work is just WORK" with equal pleasure and pain. If there is possibility of work sharing it should be done. If there is expertise it should be shared. For the sake of sharing it if things are divided then it makes chaos happen. It could be from small things to bigger ones. Why is it that woman gives birth to a child and not a man, why is it women look beautiful and not a man etc. Nature had a reason to make both the way they are and a lot can be learnt. Let roles be unique and not compared. Let the common goal be the upliftment of family and not the upliftment of an individual alone.

If this was understood - divorces would decrease. ":Why should i go through all the pain?" "why me always..?" " Why should it always be me who says sorry?" "why should i do all the work?" " why should I go through this, I dont deserve it.." "Why..." If you have felt all this then welcome to the club of people who just need to hold their ego with both their hands strangle it each time it comes when the person on the other side of grass is a loved one and for heaven's sake STOP COMPARING. No matter how much your tendency is to.

Life on your side is as green as that on the other side. IT's just that at times it's night on your side and day on the other side and at times it's day on your side (when you busy seeing your grass and have no time to see it's dark on the other side..) and night on the other side.

The grass has nothing to do with your life. Will you start loving your life and living it with what it offers you first and then expand the horizons beyond to ensure it compasses more and more in your arena, than comparing and keeping your life in a circle of small radius forever.

Hope this blog helps you through atleast one of the paragraphs. I know it's lengthy but it has depth equally (atleast I presume). Open to read your comments...

THE YOUR BIG YEAR FINALS. MY First BLOG from UK!

Pleasure it is to let you know that this is my first ever blog from the UK. That makes this entry a very special one in itself anyways, but by all means, it's definitely more special owing to the weight the subject adds to this one.

The Craze of 2012 - The Most awaited YOUR BIG YEAR Competition finally is almost through. We are just a couple of days short of knowing the ambassador for this year for Smaller Earth. I am glad I made it to the TOP-16 (though not to TOP 6), and Now, I am extremely excited to find out who would take this title back home as I stand keen to know & follow the continuous impact this fantastic person would be making around the world experiencing some of life's best experiences

The competition in itself has given one of the most enriching & life-changing experience to me. So it's beyond imagination what the world trip that Smaller Earth promises, would do to a person's wisdom levels. It's been about 8 days now living day in & day out with 16 out of the world people from 14 different countries and cultures. It's been a pleasure to live out the day's schedules with them, make friends, compete, have endless gossips, travel, tour, chill out, fight (very light though), laugh out, celebrate all the diverse emotions and last but not the least learn from each other.

The trip included tasks, team building, TV performance, Pitches, VIP Meetings, Travel, Tour, Fun, lessons, briefings, Mentoring, Running around, public speaking and lots more. It would for sure need more blogs.

Watch out my entries in the coming weeks for the Same. For now, it's been a fantastic time at the UK in the YOUR BIG YEAR Competition! 2 More days to GO. Lot of connections and lots of new stuff to come. ALL THOSE WITH "MERIT" Have TO REACH THIS FAR is all that needs to be remembered!

Wait for the next one!!!

Love is deep!!!! - deep below the beds of anger, frustration & the like at times...

There are times in life when pain simply needs to be gulped down the throat. You may not have been wrong, not have erred, but still the world seems to accuse you of the crime you never did and pass you blames you never deserved. World, here I say, refers to the people who mean the world to you, for, You or I would not care what rest of the world has to say anyway. At such moments just tell yourself, the frustration of theirs was killed and converted into smooth flow of crystals from your eyes, cleansing their heart and mind.

The dislike towards you might be killing, bear it for a while, as they mean the world to you is what you claim, and this is very little extra mile to ensure their smile. The ability of yours to simply gulp down the words that slip of their tongues could only result in a cleansed heart of theirs, void of any negatives, after which all that remains is love and affection. The love that, if seen, you can jump with joy, else assumptions are a definite solace.

They mean not to kill you, they mean to protect their love for you, and the want to release all of it, makes them shoot you to death, as all love is but hidden underneath the sheet of anger, frustration and hatred towards you. Hence there are times in life you have to simply...

Silenced you are! by the astonishing levels of anger and hatred that you believe you never were the reason for, they look at you with the eyes that have confirmed that you are the criminal worthy of being accused, and beyond that moment every act of yours is something they abhor.

Remember they still are the people who mean the world to you, and we all know that such people are very few. For, all that they have done for you, this fit of anger towards you definitely comes to you as really new. But as time goes by, as the things sink in deep, some alterations remain and some feelings go awry, few return their normal place while a new sunshine the nature throws to you yet again.

The ultimate truth lies here. The world comes back to the same position every 24 hours. The loved ones come back to you within the periodic cycle set. For, that's love! rest is all but an illusion.

What's even beyond is - 'all is temporary'. "Live till you live. Love till you live." ~Sujit Lalwani

Live & Let live is right. But LOVE & Let LOVE prevail!!! Don't kill it for a million tears~!

This prose might be vague! It gets clearer as life moves on. Read it at a later stage yet again. Explore the depth of it more than the last time, each time you read.

(The greatest support you all can be is to be pass this note as many as you can! Thanks a TON for the support. Do post it on your facebook wall as well)

I am glad to share this with you, that I am giving my best to follow the footsteps of people who have brought Glory, fame & name humanity all over the globe. I am on the path to add feathers to the cap of Humanity & my Nation.

I have my way of doing it and have already done some sizable work from my side, as I now turn 25 in about a couple of months. MY biography is available for download at www.iuindia.com/ourspeakers.php.

Currently I am participating in a GLOBAL COMPETITION called YOUR BIG YEAR. A competition which has gained overnight recognition from the BEST & ELITE of the WORLD. The winners of this would be awarded a prize of travel to 22 countries covering 5 continents. The COMPANY Smaller Earth (www.smallerearth.com) engages in this. The winner is given an experience of leadership through experience, which shall set his momentum for the rest of the life.

Last Year's winner was MICHAEL TEOH from MALAYSIA. You can google him out, to see what he has gone on to become today. As the turn comes this year, It's a matter of pride & prestige to know that an INDIAN Sujit Lalwani (You can google me out as well) Ranks amongst the only chosen 111 Stage 2 finalists. Now 51 of them are competing for TOP position which would be through a procedure of voting.

The winner in this would attend the GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP CONGRESS in LIVERPOOL. (http://gec.unleashingideas.org/) Which is expected to be attended by top brass of the world.

One chance for us to shine on the GLOBE. The voting procedure is simple & given in simple steps on www.iuindia.com.

The procedure is as listed below:
Step 1: Log on to facebook account. Step 2: www.facebook.com/smallerearth (visit & LIKE)
Step 3: Click http://www.facebook.com/smallerearth?sk=app_153283154778583
Step 4: Search for VIDEO #5 (in the search box) & VOTE!!!

Or Visit the event page: http://www.facebook.com/events/138442532936427/ & catch the details.

It's this Simple.

Absolutely no time would be required for this and no efforts either. It would indeed help us bring the feather to the INDIAN CAP. I recommend you to oblige in support towards this.

Hours together go for watching a cricket match, Hours together are invested for movies, But all this needs is a few minutes of time and a couple of clicks.
