Good to back, yes I am back from business trip. It feels great when you come back to India.
While returning back I saw the movie, The Social Network on the plane, the story of Face Book and Mark Zuckerberg. Though its an old movie, I got a chance to see it now.
What I liked is the energy of the character and the reflection of the fact that how true business minded Mark is. Heard so many stories about his business focus. Movie has successfully captures the birth and evolution of Facebook and how differently Mark wanted to build it.
It also captures the struggle of Facebook founders to differentiate it amidst cluttered social networking market place. This is I really like. Any business needs to have a differentiated offerings and clearly articulated value proposition to the customers. And I think most part of the movie is based on this struggle as how they wanted to build this value prop.
Facebook’s success is double edged sword, having its own controversies, but we need to look at this as a great business success of our times. Bringing the social life to internet was some path breaking idea and Facebook makes brings up successfully.
BTW, I am merely 3 weeks old with Facebook, but I have already started liking it and is very active!!

Time, Life & philosophical weekend
It will be perhaps a philosophical flavored post!
There is an incident in Mahabharata, when Pandavas escaped from the fire incident, they went underground and has to go home-after-home in search of food. It is termed as even kings have to bow down to the power of time and follow what comes on the way.
How true!!
Many times we start thinking that we are in full control of life and start assuming everything in our way. We tend to forget the fact that there is a super control which is governing everything, our way of living and things happening in our life. That is what is called as ‘state-of-ignorance’, being ignorant of everything.
Then life starts teaching you, it gives every lesson with such a shock that we can’t forget the lesson associated with that. This is life. When you start thinking you are in full control of your life, there comes a big turn, a shock, a lesson, an incident, which ultimately shapes the future.
But, funny part is, the same life which gives you a shock, gives you a strong mind to face it, love and support from near and dear ones, which ultimately helps you to come out of woods and start feeling ‘life is all about those green shots where you say life is beautiful’
Life is full of such bright and dark shades, which makes it an interesting journey. Otherwise probably we don’t understand the importance of what all we have got in life.
Best suggestion, in such cases I got was, have patience and move on!
