A lot of my friends, fans and followers have been asking - Why did I write Life Simplified!? Here it is:
School:
First of all, I look back into my past and realize that I was lost in the tide of life until about my class 10, to score the best marks in the class (among the top 3 at least) and go back home to play cricket for hours together till I tired myself to exhaustion. The days would end watching TV & holidays would get over chatting with relatives, sleeping, playing all the possible games & getting advised from loads of people to study. The most hated time in holidays would always be when I spent it on the books to complete Holiday Home-Work given from school.
With all this happening in my life, the only thing that was ticking away was "Time" and I was absolutely clueless, that the time which was being so warm with me in childhood would suddenly become so cold, the moment I complete my class 10 and then only get more & more cold with me, and not allow me to spend time as casually as I did before, totally away from the books and pressures of life.
It was around this time, that I had to realize, that, all that I studied was not to be forgotten the very next year; all that I learnt was going to be useful to get admitted into a good college/university and all that I thought, something only elders and grown-ups were meant to do, would be on my plate in large amounts very soon. I would have to get disciplined and responsible, something, that was a far-fetched dream for someone like me, who spent his entire childhood as lazily as possibly possible.
Pre-University:
It was during my class 11 and 12, I realized unless I loved the subjects, no matter how many hours I sat with them, I wouldn't be able to push a couple of concepts into my neurons, while if I loved what I was doing something magical always ended happening. It started with physics and I realized, it was the same, no matter, which subject I applied that to.
Graduation:
Then came the time, when I was going to a graduation program in NITK Surathkal, one of the premier institutes of my country, and I realized that all that mattered there was, where I got placed. I realized that responsibilities of earning for myself were soon going to come my way. All of a sudden talks about what packages(annual pay packages) people got and where they got placed, were on a hype than ever before. Now, for someone like me, thinking of being placed in one place was a nightmare!!!
I had to understand what was happening in my life and resolve it before I would be left clueless and struggling. I had to figure out where the roots to what was happening in my life, lay.
Meanwhile, I realized, it was getting too late, something that most of the youth experience around that age, and a sudden feeling comes "it's not late!". I felt the same.
I don't know if I got the right direction or not. But I decided I was going to end up as a physicist and thought I will work hard to be the best Mechanical Engineer first, which would eventually lead me to physics. But the bug of placement and earning in life was still around, and the fact that the dreams to live this life in style was always one of my dream, I was driven by these mindsets as well. So suddenly, I was motivated to use all my brain to develop Business ideas, courtesy some of college friends!
When the zeal for business ideas was high, I came across a B-Plan that attracted me, because it seemed to have everything that I asked for - name, fame, money and purpose. I started working part-time for that company and eventually got caught into it's cycle to take it's presentations & seminars to promote. I slowly built a team and realized, that I had to lead more & more people to where I reached, to earn more and help them earn more.
I, being a person who loved helping people grown and get happier, I realized this business was starting to bring in a lot of issues in lives of people who were becoming a part of it. While I started resolving their issues, they seem solved, work increased and teams grew. The problems would arise again & again, I would solve it over and over again. I then started coaching this art of leading, to resolve problems and help others, to my team to empower them. LIFE was all that I could have ever asked for, But slowly without my realization I moved away from Physics.
I later realized that physics was calling me back to it, but having gone deep into Business, I din't want to emerge as a loser, So, then I decided that be it Physics and Business in my life and that's where it all started that I kept physics for last stages of my life (believing that I will live long).
Post My Graduation:
While I got into the cyclic nature of my business, I realized that companies don't grow when the people at top don't focus on changing and developing it fast, at every stage. While my company did that initially, later, due to it's personal reasons it could not continue the valor & speed of change, to keep the adrenaline in the team rushing and gushing. This brought heavy resistance. I battled this resistance, reading the strongest come-back stories, but in vain to develop that business to it's best heights, because patience of many was simultaneously being tested and they were at their most crucial time-frames of their life.
So I realized it would be hard for them all. So, I had to start guiding quite a few to move on in their life, with all the talent up-gradations they got. Again, some could and some could-not. While some blamed me for their flaws in life, others were drowning in the sea of gratitude towards what I had coached & empowered them with. I din't understand what was happening - If I lead all equally genuinely how could such differences arise?
Inspiration Unlimited(IU):
This lead to heavy introspection times and I started Inspiration Unlimited as a company that could provide a platform for those who wanted to still be a part of the team, as it felt homely by then. But then challenges went beyond limits and politics & other company situations lead the whole scenario to heat up to an extent that they thought it was better I din't continue with the plan. My family and my pals were forcing me to discontinue my path in that company and they advised me against it and my calling kept pushing me, to resolve even this, as I was already used to believing that giving up was not my way of life. It was then the toughest call was taken to move on from there & dive deep into Inspiration Unlimited and it's unlimited visions.
I was brought back to square one in my life. Due to multiple things and reasons, I had to discontinue from teh previous platform of life and that disconnected me with the people I was once connected with. But this time I decided it shouldn't take half as much time to build the empire as big as before and here it is. IU today, with it's innumerable wings and projects(social ideas) & entrepreneurial wings stands at a stand point, which is bringing back the empire once lost. I always dreamt of making a heavy difference to the society with the simplest ideas and all IU wings are an example of that. I always believed in inspiring people towards their calling and watch them do wonders and they are doing it today.
It's today that I stand at a stage, where I was once a dud in finances at some point of time and hated it, but love it to the core today courtesy my principle of life I learnt in class 11 and 12, that If you fall in love with anything in your life, you are going shine like none else there. Just believe till the end of it all. My Father and brother have inspired me beyond their imagination in this regard and many other ways.
In the journey I realized the purpose at each stage of life, elevated, changed, transformed but the leader in me just performed every time, how much I demanded of it and I still believe I shall continue to perform from here on in. I realized that it was physics sometime ago, then network marketing business, then entrepreneurship, Inspirational speaking, poetry, writing and many more things today that am passionate about.
What it took of me, to make me reach till here, and what's the juice of my entire journey, is something I look back to conclude, that, it was never easy but always simple. If it could reach the others in simple words, as simple as it was when it happened - It would trigger simply powerful leaders in my country and the world.
Life Simplified!:
This BROUGHT ME to write: "Life Simplified!" in a way, in which, I wish to share the juice of all that I learnt, where I wish to tell you, nobody else but you yourself can take yourself from where you are to where you wish to go. I wrote this book, to share with the world, that complicated heavy content books are something 85% of my country cannot read and feels inferior to, while reading, and so is the state of people in large part of the world.
Hence, I decided to keep this book as simple as possible, to ensure the first feeling a reader gets is "I TOO CAN READ IT completely", the next feeling "WOW! Life is truly simple!", last but not the least, I hope the readers understand and feel eventually: "I am the controller of my destiny! Life IS TRULY SIMPLE but DEFINITELY NOT EASY!!!"
With loads of love
