#punga with @sramana in #1m-1m

By
Not really. It was back to basics advice.
  1. Stay focused. What is the problem? Does it really exist? Can you solve it?
  2. Segment your market and choose a line of business.
  3. Validate your real customers. Cold call. Meet on roadside. Find ways to cut across to them and say hello. Are you talking to the right audience?
  4. Grow a single line of business and then go for aggregation as value add.
Bottomline - Go everywhere 

Backgroud : It was fun evening. I did not have calling card. Luckily chatted with a friend in US and he said his folks had it here on 7th floor. I got the magicjack. Struggled with it till 7:45 with no luck. Only ringtone was the saving grace. No magic with magic jack. It was not my day to save money on calls.

I had done my validation during the day and people suggested skype credits for good quality call. So at 7:50 I went and grabbed my credit and started punching the numbers, more than eager to lose the moolah, but skype rejected the card 5 times.

Once you believe that your spent is worth the time then you will go to any extent to burn the cash. I went to odesk, withdrew some money to paypal. I hate to do it because in last withdrawal paypal took away a cool 4% on large amount without warning. Okay, I was ignorant slob.

Then I went back to skype with paypal power. Paypal is all over the place in skpye credits buy page. Every page they beg to go buy with paypal. I could sense their pain and went to odesk to find the balm for them. It worked. I blew $10.

I dialled dimdim and the code was smartly rejected. Their customer rep came online and took away more time to dial me into the call.
It is then that I realized the call was at 8:30 and here I was dialling in at 8:15 happily being told to be on mute. I cut the call and prayed to lord.

Came back at 8:30. Again dialed in using skype. I started hearing two voices. Did not know what was happening. I stopped the call in skype. I heard one voice and was happy. Then went to skype to search for *6 because my turn would come soon and I would have to use that. It was not to be seen anywhere. How could it show when there was no call using skype? The sound was coming from the webcast.

As my turn came , I went back to skype to dial number. Bingo, again two voices. But with kevin's help found out the stop play button against his name only. I searched all over the page for STOP button but could not find it. The web voice stopped.

My turn came and I did present my idea. Dont ask me what because I will discuss with you only after I have validated it.

Success is exchange of energy

By
The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

Shivani, Brahmakumaries and Aastha channel

By
She comes twice on TV from 7:10 PM to 7:40 PM and 10:30 to 11:00 PM on Aastha channel. The spiritual channel story in India is on same lines as that of Aaj Tak , which was run by local ads before the big boys put ads on them. Today Shivani, a Brahmakumari mentioned that 99% of the cause of anger and frustration is elsewhere, it is not in the spur of the moment, when you hurt somebody or get hurt by somebody. Instead of reacting instantaneously , or pestering the reaction in the mind post the incident till eternity , can you wonder "Why is that soul so angry, what is bothering her? I am sure there is something more than what she has told me now?". The chain of thoughts that emerge lead you to compassion, releases love vibrations into the air. Love has a very subtle medium to reach out. You cannot yell and throw around love and claim that you are helping somebody by your love. You have to surrender to love and let love take over. You cannot correct the world. You can onl...

fix for tweetmeme button on blogger

By
This was the second time when I was pained to locate a proper place to place the tweetmeme buton in blogger. The tutorial has suggested keeping it between b:loop values = 'data:posts' var = 'post'> and ‘b:loop’. Also there are two such places where you can place the code. If you place in lower one then it will appear only if ads appear in your blog. The above has not worked for me and I am not sure about you, do you Meme?. I searched for a place near the spans at end of post and put it above the below line " <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> And it seems to work. You can meme below and retweet and check for yourself. Have you been struggling with button placement in blogger?
