Kejriwal becomes CM - Delhi Public to be Benefited Most ? NO
Interesting Indian Politics in Last 2 years :
India has seen a terrific ups and downs in the politics in last couple of years. One side where Congress has been ruling the country from last two terms, other side BJP under the name of Modi has been trying to establish his wave all around the nation, and very recently the entry of Kejriwal led AAP has brought them into limelight.
Delhi, The state which was on fire for last two years with lot and lot of burning issues say Common Wealth Games scams, Inflation, Corruption in MCD, Anna Hazare Lokpal bill andolan, Swami Ramdev andolan, Nirbhaya Gangrape, Formation of AAP which kept the state on the media all the time, and people badly needed a change.
Delhi public got an opportunity to release all their anger in the recently happened Vidhan Sabha elections and their anger completely fired congress who were 41 seats in last elections who ended up reducing to just 8. BJP under the leadership of Dr. Harshwardhan managed to get 32 seats, but the party who won the hearts of public was Aam Aadmi Party.
Evolution of Aam Aadmi Party and Kejriwal
Aam Aadmi Party shocked all the opinion and exit polls who gave them just single digit seats in their polls. It was confirmed that no government could form as it was a three way.
AAP initially denied to give or take support to any party, BJP clearly refused to do any give and take, and stepped back to form government, and hence congress came into action to support AAP.
AAP's Dilemma of Delhi
It was a big dilemma for Arvind Kejriwal, whether to take support from the same party against whom they fought the andolans, and who was known to be the most corrupt party. He decided to put the ball into public, distrubuted 25 Lakh letters to public, used social media and SMS , arranged physical rallies to know the mood of public.
Finally, on 28th December 2013, Arvind Kejriwal, with the support of congress from outside, formed the goverment and took the oath as the chief minister.
The Question is Who would be most benifited by Kejriwal being the chief minister ?
If you're answer is the Public of Delhi - I would answer it as NO.
Kejriwal went to public to ask if they should take support of congress or not, It was not at all necessary as far as I think because it was quite obvious people would love to get 50 % less electricity bills, 600 Litres free water, corruption free Delhi.
Public had voted them to bring them into government and to make them fulfill their promises, and why would public deny them to make government.
The one who would be benifited mostly would be 'Congress Party' . It may sound weird, but Yes.
Why Congress
The current situation of congress is, they themselves know that the Projection of Rahul Gandhi vs Narendra Modi for 2014 LS elections would be a pure fluke. The mass crowd at Modi's rallies and lack of crowds at Rahul Gandhi's rallies, The results of the 4 state vidhan sabha elections , all the things has made congress conclude that they need some strong thing or strong projection to reduce the Namo Wave across the nation.
Now, Kejriwal being the recent Hero's into the recent Indian Politics, Delhi youths and entire Media, has got an opportunity to finish all his promises.
Congress is indirectly projecting Kejriwal against Modi, supporting them from outside. If Kejriwal is able to carry his government very well in upcoming few months, it would be a definite headache for BJP as AAP is already planning to contest Loksabha elections.
It would cut the BJP votes all over the nation, and the youth who has been supporting Modi, AAP would try to pull them in favour of them and hence indirectly cut the BJP votes.
MODI has been a common competition for Congress and AAP, and there is nothing bad, to shake hands together to fight against a common competition. It is said that Dushman ka dushman dost hota hai
Hence, The Congress would be in most benefit now, as their strategy is to project Kejriwal against Modi, and enjoy the advantage of it in Loksabha elections 2014.
Loksabha 2014 elections and results would clear all the things, clear doubts and bring out all the queries. Till then wishing All the best to all three parties. Jai Hind.

Sponsored Video: ASUS Fonepad powered by Intel
The thin line that was present between tablets and smartphones is decreasing with each passing day. Asus Fonepad is one such example as it is termed as a tablet which can make calls too. This model comes with a 7 inch screen and resolution of 1280 X 800 pixels. It works on 1.6 GHz Intel Atom dual-core processor and the camera quality is also very impressive.
Design
It is made up of
all plastic and in the front you also have dual speaker. The display is
surrounded by black bezel and there is no physical button on it too due to the
Jelly beans onscreen navigation keys. You will find two colors in the market –
white and black and weighing around 328 g. The volume keys and the microSD card
slot are at the side of the phone and it doesn’t come with any cover.
Camera
Asus Fonepad
comes with 5MP autofocus camera at the back which clicks images up to 2592 X
1944 pixel resolutions. The video is able to record 1080p videos at 30 fps. It
does not perform very well in low light conditions. If you want to take photo
of yourself then you can do it with front camera which is 1.2 MP.
Software
The Fonepad runs
on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Beans, has 5 customizable homescreens and has 6 apps
shortcuts with 4 onscreen controls. In order to extend the battery life it
provides a power saver mode as well.
Battery
and Performance
You will find
1GB of RAM and 16 GB inbuilt storage facility in here which can be extended up
to 32 GB. The touch sensor is really good and the battery worked all day
without charging as it comes with 3950 mAh battery. Even after extensive use
you would be left with about 25% of power at the end of the day.
To sum up the
Asus Fonepad’s performance, it can be said that at the price of INR 17,499 it
is performing very well and all the features that comes with this Fonepad
performs really well enhancing the quality of the Fonepad. It comes with goo
display, excellent call clarity, battery backup is impressive and the camera’s
performance is pretty good. Te only drawback that can be thought of is the
plastic buildup and underwhelming speakers.
Enjoy the Asus Fonepad in the video below :

Sachin Tendulkar Retirement Speech [Text and Video]
Finally, the moment which people didn't want ever to happen, happened, when Sachin Tendulkar finally played off his final match, and then waving off his cricketing career. The entire nation along with each and every crowd at the wankhede had tearful eyes.
Sachin Tendulkar, at the presentation, gave a very emotional retirement speech, where he remembered each and every person who were behind the success of the man, and that speech couldn't stop his wife cry too.
Here is the Video and Text version of the Sachin Tendulkar Retirement Speech. Make sure you have enough tissues near you , before hearing it ! Good bye Sachin.
Video of Sachin Retirement Speech
Text Version of Sachin Retirement Speech
"Friends please settle down, I'll get more emotional! It's hard to believe my wonderful journey is coming to an end. I've a list of names to thank.
The first is my father, who passed away in 1999. Without his guidance I wouldn't be standing in front of you. he said 'chase your dreams, don't give up, the path will be difficult.' I miss him today.
My mom, I don't know how she managed a naughty child like me. She just prayed and prayed from the day I started playing the game. For four years I stayed with my uncle and aunt when in school, they treated me like their own son.
My eldest brother Nitin doesn't like to talk ,much but he said, whatever you do, I know you will give 100%. My first cricket bat was presented to me by my sister Savita. She still continues to fast while I bat. Ajit my brother - We have lived this dream together, he sacrificed his career for me, he took me to Achrekar sir first. Even last night he called me to discuss my dismissal. Even when I'm not playing we will still be discussing technique. If that hadn't happened, I would have been a lesser cricketer.
"The most beautiful thing happened to me when I met Anjali in 1990. I know that being a doctor there was a big career in front of her. But she decides that I should continue playing and she took care of the children. Thanks for bearing with me for all the nonsense I've said (Anjali wipes tears). Then the two precious diamonds of my life Sara and Arjun. I've missed out on several birthdays, holidays. I know for 14-16 years I've not spent enough time with you. But I promise you I will spend the next 16.
"My inlaws - I've discussed several things with them. The most important thing they did was allow me to marry Anjali. In the last 24 years my friends have made terrific contributions. They have been with me while I was stressed. They have been with me even at 3am when I was injured. Thanks for being there for me.
"My career started when I was 11. I was extremely delighted to see Achrekar sir in the stands. I used to ride on his scooter and play two matches a day. Sir took me along to make sure I played. On a lighter note, Sir never said 'well played' because he didn't want me to be complacent. You can push your luck now, Sir, since I'm not playing cricker anymore.
"I started my career here in Mumbai. I remember landing from NZ at 4am and playing a Ranji game the next day. The BCCI was fantastic from my debut. Thanks to the selectors. You were right with me making sure my treatment was taken care of.
"Thanks to all the senior cricketers who have played with me. We see on the screen Rahul, VVS, Sourav, Anil who is not here. All the coaches. I know when MS presented the 200th Test cap, I had a message to the team - I said we are all so proud to be representing the nation. I hope to continue to serve the nation with dignity. I have full faith that you will serve the country in the right spirit.
I will be failing in my duty if I didn't thank the doctors who have kept me fit. Given the injuries I have suffered. They have treated me in odd hours.
My dear friend the late Mark Mascarenhas. I miss him. My current management team WSG, for continuing what Mark has done. Someone who has worked closely with me for 14 years is my friend Vinod Nayudu.
"The media has backed me a lot, since my school days. Even today. Thank you. Thanks to the photographers for capturing those moments.
"I know my speech has become long. I want to thank people who have flown in from different parts of the world. I want to thank my fans from the bottom of my heart. "Sachin, Sachin" will reverberate in my ears till I stop breathing." (Followed by loud cheers).
The crowd wants more. Sachin has handed back the mic. We haven't seen the last of him here surely

[Sponsored Video] Intel's Intelligent Sounds - Music Produced by Tablets
Intel, which has the long history of making the powerful processors have come up with a blistering campaign, where they showcase their powerful processors capacity using music. Confused ? Intel and Music ?? Yes, You’re right.
Intel collaborated with a sydney based musician Harley
Stertan, 'Flume' to debut the new tune using the Intel processors. Intel
tablets have been used in it and a completely automated music tune is generated
using the powerful intel’s processors and tablets.
The complete idea is about giving a live music performance
just using the tablets, and the music instruments. Doesn’t it sound awesome? It
is indeed awesome.
The computer tablets have been hooked up using soft wares in
such a way that they automatically play the instruments to generate the music
tune. Let me tell you that it is freaking awesome way to show the capacity of
Intel processors.
Take a look on the most awaited Intel’s most awaited short
film “Intellingent Sounds”
It took a twelve week of production with 2000 developer
hours for this project, to make this short film.
The Intel's Asia pacific region Director for Brand Strategy
and integrated marketing, Jayant Murty, said that the shortfilm is designed to
be an entertaining light and sound experience and also to encourage viewers to
consider the technology which is at the heart of their tablets.
Intel has also officially released the making of the video,
where the developers say, it took 60 tablets along with custom softwares to
come up with this freaking awesome ‘Intelligent Sounds’.
Flume worked in collaboration with The Monkeys to produce
the track. Gelardi said: “We had a concept and we needed a piece of music but
we really couldn’t develop what the finished film would look like until we had
the music.

How to Hide Last Seen in Whatsapp on Android Phones !
Whatsapp is a cross platform application which runs on Android, Windows, IOS, Blackberry and all small scale Nokia OS. It provides facility to send the Photos, Videos, Audio, Location, Contact in just a flash which made it very popular among the users.
Whatsapp comes with a timestamp called 'Last seen' which lets know when the user was last seen on his whatsapp. This last seen geneerally creates a lot of conflicts, especially between couples.
Many people keep asking me, how to Make the Last seen invisible or how to hide it, so here's a simple way to do it.
The Last seen technically cannot be hidden, but we can stop its update and still keep on using whatsapp freely.
Technically, The Last seen is updated only when you open the whatsapp with the Internet connected.
Hide the Last Seen in Whatsapp Manually :
If you are chatting with someone, and you don't want to update the last seen of your whatsapp what you can do is :
- With Internet connected, the whatsapp automatically syncs all the messages recieved, and sends all the messages pending.
- Turn off the internet, and open whatsapp and read the messages receieved and send the replies you want to send.
Note : "Last Seen" is updated only when Internet is connected and you open the whatsapp application.
Hide the Last seen in Whatsapp using an other App :
The same manual process can be automated using a simple android application which you can download.
- Download the APK File from here, and install it
- Open the app, enable "Block Last Seen"
- Now, When you open the whatsapp, the Internet is disabled automatically which prevents the update of Last seen on whatsapp.
- You can read the received messages freely and reply to them freely.
- When you close whatsapp, the Internet is enabled automatically and all the pending messages are sent and synced.
I'm sure, So many fights happening between Couples can be prevented with using the simple application.

My Meet with Aamir Khan ! Full Story
Did you read my similiar blog on Meeting MS Dhoni ?
Warning : This is a 3000 word post, with implementation of 'Facebook Embeded posts' , but I assure, You won't be bored of it, and I am sure you will take something out of it, for sure. I hope you like it. Do give me genuine feedback after you're done reading
Do you believe in Intution ? I certainly do believe in it, and my belief has gone strong over the time, when it everytimes comes true. Here is one more example of it.
In May 2013, I got a mail from a company that "I had won a chance of meet and greet with Shahrukh Khan" and unfortunately I had my Final year project demo the same day, and I had to take a quick decision and decided to drop SRK !
Post by Akash Jain.
Many friends said "Dude, how could you miss SRK", but I don't know, I didn't feel bad at all to miss SRK. That day, I just got an intution that chuck SRK, I want to meet Aamir Khan, "The perfectionist".
From last one decade, the personality, the aura he has formed over the bollywood, is just immense and no one can object it. No offense to any SRK fans hour here :P
So, coming to the point that, I gave my exams, I was graduate and then the wow thing happened.
Post by Akash Jain.
One fine day, I just got a mail from Godrej saying I was selected to be the part of Aamir Khan's Godrej Campus Visit. I just pinched myself, could not believe, but yes soon realized the fact.
How did it Happen
Aamir khan is the brand ambassador of Godrej, whose tag line is "Ideas that make Life brighter". Godrej had a campaign on facebook where the participants were supposed to pour in some unique ideas which can brighten the lives of people.
Probably, It was my luck that I reached that page someday, that too during that contest. I just analysed and realized that Yes, I can do it.
I searched up and came upon many good ideas and submitted mine, and two of them got shortlisted in the top ten.
Top 5 Voted were to make into Winning entries, and getting votes was cake walk for me. Thanks to my friends ! :)
My Entries were :
1) Reusable water in Toilet. The wash basin is connected to the Flush of Toilet
2) Using a water bottle and making it work as a CFL
Selecting a Gift for Aamir
If you are my facebook friend, it would be very easy to guess the gift I carried for Aamir khan, which i usually carry when I meet some of my favourite celebrities.
Post by Akash Jain.
My bad habit that I do things all at the Nth moment. I collected photos, thought over the cover page and title, designed, printed, everything was done on the last moment. But Thank god, I had the Book in my hands before leaving mysore.
Special Thanks to : Nikhil Furtardo and Rakshit Mehta
Comfortable Travel and Stay
I've been travelling a lot to Mumbai, Delhi etc, but the main problem comes as generally the flights from Bangalore airport are around 9AM - 10 AM morning, and so I have to leave about 3AM-4AM from Mysore, or have to stay back at bangalore previous night, which is really hectic and I hate it.
I was worried about the same again, but all thanks to Godrej, They took care of everything. They booked a flight ticket one day back, so that I can be comfortable. They arranged a cab from home to airport, and Flight and Hotel for that day, then Aamir khan meet, and return on the next day.
So, It was 2 Night and 3 days of short trip ! :) Everything was very comfortable.
The Plan
It was 5th August 2013, which was scheduled for the event. The purpose for our visit was :
- A Visit to Mangrooves. Mangrooves is a Coastal forest inside the Godrej Campus in Mumbai.
- To be the Part of Aamir Khan Interview (as Spectators)
- A Visit to Godrej product showroom and detailed explanation
A Big Shock :
There were corporate guests, other children from school, who were local winners of some godrej contest and lot of company representatives. I realized I was mere 1 among thousands there, and will I get chance to meet him personally or not...
When I reached Godrej campus, I was taken to a auditorium where the briefing about the whole day event, I was shocked when I realised, there was no Meet and Greet scheduled for me.
The Local children and their Parents had a meet and greet with Aamir khan, and just we four of the winners didn't have it. On asking, we were told "Due to security reasons". That really pissed me off. We requsted the organisers, they told they would try.
With the little hope of meeting Aamir, our day started at Godrej.
Mangrooves : The coastal Forest
If I ask you a question : Guess, How big can be the Godrej Campus at Vikhroli Mumbai ? How much would you say ? 10 Acre ? 20 Acre ? 50 Acre ?
The Godrej Vikhroli Mumbai campus is freaking 2200+ Acres . Yes ! Can you ever think of the how much big it is , that too amidst a city like Mumbai.
2000 Acres is covered just with the coastal forest called Mangrooves. Godrej had purchased that Land long back in an auction, and developed it as a perfect coastal forest and lot of gardens, and it is open just for Educational visit purpose today.
They have Homes for employees, corporate office, their own Sub - way, companies like TCS and much more, inside their campus.

Maharashtra Govt had asked that Land for Crores to build a international airport, which Godrej refused.
The Mangrooves has Hundred of speices of Animals, Plants. It has a special Medicinal garden where there are lot of ayurvedic plants. It has a palm garden where there are more than 20 types of Palms.
A complete Guided tour was given in a bus, which was really interesting. I was shocked to see a big forest inside a campus, that too in Mumbai. The Mangrooves tour ended around 12:30pm and we were taken back to the main godrej building.
It was lunch time till 2pm and we were taken back to the auditorium.
The other local winners were taken for the meet and greet with Aamir Khan, and we were made sit in the auditorum lonely. On asking, we got the same answer "Security reasons, We will try.."
They told us, they will take us to the Interview with Aamir khan and around 2.45, we took us to the interview hall where our seats were reserved.
Interview with Aamir Khan
It was a big hall with the stage set for Aamir khan. I had a seat in the 3rd row, and front two rows were all Top officials and Family members of Godrej.
An Awesome Experience
I was sitting on my seat, and all of sudden there was some noise and claps. I thought it was Aamir and I turned around, It was Adi Godrej in the hall, The Owner of Godrej groups.
The moment he entered and reached his seat which was just in front of mine, The media people started their cameras and the flashes started flashing on me.
I swear, It was one of "The Best" moments of my life, when I saw those continuous Camera flashes for like 5-10 minutes on face. It was so damn motivational and inspirational. It was feeling as if they were flashing me. Damn ! It was an awesome feeling, By God.
[The scene was something like the pic below. Its an pic collected from internet just to give example]
Soon, The media folks settled in their place and all were waiting eagerly for Aamir khan to enter. The Host announced and Kiran, Aamir Khan's wife, along with Parmeshwar Godrej, wife of Adi Godrej entered the hall and people started clapping and media persons again started flashing, but i was excited to watch Mr.Aamir, not Mrs. Aamir.
It was just a matter of few more minutes, and The Aamir Khan entered the stage from the backstage and My god, What a personality he looked, The way he waved people, greeted, smiled, It was just unbelievable that Aamir was in front of us, and I was just like 3 rows away from the stage.
Everyone settled on their chairs, Media persons settled, and the Interview started.
The host started asking up questions about his Experience with Godrej, His secret about being Perfect, and lot of other questions, and Aamir answered them very patiently and so perfectly (Of course, that's why he is called Perfectionist).
But the thing which was going in my mind was : Will I get to meet Aamir or not. I knew, once the interview was over, He would return with his bouncers back. The time went going, and my chance to meet aamir got fading up.
After the end of the interview, Host said "Thank you" and I started searching around the organiser to try and make me meet him, but she also gave up, as she said She had nothing in her hand.
I tried reaching some officials or breaking security, but then thought it would against ethics, and I decided, If my efforts are true, It would happen and surely would happen !
The Moment of Upsetness
Can you believe, With lot of hopes, Efforts to make a book, So much dreams, Flew to Mumbai and didn't get to meet Aamir, that too when he was so near. Damn ! It was a really bad moment, with full upset feeling. But still, A little hope inside was there, don't know why ? Probably because I had done genuine efforts, but I knew there was no damn chance now.
I almost gave up, and it was all over. We were taken to a hall to have snacks and return back. Did they expect me to have Snacks, that too when I didn't get chance to meet Aamir. No way !! I didn't have it, and I decided to stand at some corner waiting for other folks to have their snacks and return.
The organiser came up to me, said Let's have a group photo, I was like Is she kidding ? I was so frustrated, Feeling bad, and she asked for a group photo. Still, I couldn't be that rude, and Photo was done.
The organizer probably saw the upsetness and came up to me and said, Look, All I can try is I can get this book autographed and send you by courier or somethinig. I was not able to digest it, but still I said Alright.
Miracles do happen
Organiser went down to talk to some top official and ask for autograph. I don't know what happened there. I was standing in the corner and the organiser came up running that "Come on !!, You got a chance to get a photo with Aamir Khan"
I was just in a state of shock for a while, could not believe what she told. Those words just made me charged up, and I really was not it. I somehow controlled my emotions and went down.
Aamir was having some meeting with the Chief Distributors of Godrej, and we were taken to that hall.
The Chief Organiser came to us, and said "Look, You will have like just 5 Seconds. Aamir will come, Stand, A photo will be clicked and he will Move". I said "Alright".
I silently said to myself "I know what Aamir is". I had cent percent belief that once he sees this book, No damn person can stop me to talk to him, and present the book.
We waited and waited, and the WOW moment happened. Aamir khan finished the interview with distributors and came to us walking !
I was not believing that 'Rancho of 3 idiots', or 'Sanjay Singhania of Ghajini' , or bhuvan of Lagaan, or 'Nikumbh of Taare Zameen par' - Yes 'The Aamir Khan' was just in front of me, near me.
He came towards me and himself extended the hand, just like he did in Ghajini (Hi, I'm sanjay, Sanjay Singhania), and then I said "Hi sir, I've a small present for you, This Book"
Aamir looked at the cover and said " Oh, This is for me ? Really ?" , I said, "Yes"
I could see the Joy and smile easily over his face. He was so genuinely seeing each and every page and photos of the book.
As he kept turning pages, He smiled, He giggled looking at some old photos. He asked "Oh ! This photo, also you have taken", "Oh, This is the photo when I donated the blood"
I'd collected that photo too, and I showed it to Aamir and "See, This is when you attended the marriage...", He said "Oh yes, great" !!!
One of the photos in the book showecased his 'Down to earth' nature.
During his 3 Idiots Movie promotion, He had been to his mother's native and he could not find his mother's home. One of the Auto Driver, Ram Lakhan, helped him to reach aamir's mother's home, and Aamir probably made him a friend.
When 3 Idiots was launched, Aamir specially sent Flight tickets to that Ram lakhan to come down to Mumbai and see the Movie. He came down to mumbai and saw the movie. He got touched by his down to earth nature...It's not the end still ...
Few months after it, It was that Ram Lakhan's Son's Marriage, and he causally sent invitation to Aamir Khan, and guess what ? Aamir Khan personally went down to Varanasi leaving his works, and that was a real showcasing of 'Down to Earth' nature of Aamir.
He kept his words and he attended the marriage. He had lunch there and then gave his glipse to fans from the terrace of the home too.

I was just feeling awesome that I was told to get only 5 Seconds, and it was over 5 minutes, Aamir was with me, standing near and looking at the book.
What More could I expect man.
I realised, why people call him "The Down to earth" Man. He was so so down to earth. He himself said, "Let's have a photograph", and Kept his hand on our shoulders. We stood in the line and the Awaited moment got a CLICKKKKK !!
He moved from there to the Godrej organisers group to have a photograph and a little interview with them, and the best part was He kept my book in his own hand only, rather giving away to his PA or Body guard. He had that book in his hand till the last moment. (See the circled part in the image below)
I was literally not stopping thanking that particular organiser, Kavya Gupta (Right behind Aamir, in the pic above), who really tried her best, put in her genuine efforts and due to her, I could meet Aamir and present him personally my work. Thanks a lot Kavya, from heart, If you're reading this :)
One more Big Surprise
I thought, That was it. I got so so much when nothing was looking to happen. 15-20 Minutes back, I had almost given up that Nothing can be done now and it was all over, but still there was a little little hope inside for some miracle, and that Miracle happened !
From Nothing, I got a Grand Meet Up, Opportunity to Present my Gift, To talk, Personal Photograph, What more could I really ask, but there was something more than that
I was standing after the meetup, and one of the organiser came up and asked "You made that book" ?, I said, "Yes". She said " You know what ? Aamir Khan personally showed up your book to Mrs. Parmeshwar Godrej (Wife of Adi Godrej), and she liked it so much, that she asked me to send her a copy of it"
Once everyone came to know that Mrs.Godrej liked that book and asked for a copy, everyone came to me, and started asking What book which book, Show me Show me..
I was feeling like a Star there, where everyone were praising my work, my genuine efforts.
That was another Moment where i realised that when you put in your geninue efforts, Miracles do happen. There's a Line saying "Agar kisi bhi cheez ko dilo jaan se chaaho, to saari kayenaat, tumhe use paane me lagaa deti hai"
We were done with the Aamir meet up and we were taken to Godrej showroom. All the products were shown, explained.
One more Good experience

Prasanjit Saha from Jamshedpur, One of the winners with me, basically is a Enterprenuer with a Personalised Gifts startup called "Tohfa4u", to be precise, A "Successful Startup".
I talked about an Hour or two, discussed how did he started off things, what acted as his advantages, what barriers, what did you learn, what problem did he come up. He told many experiences of him. I got to know many startup mantras.
Who can be a better person to explain about a startup, than a successfull startup entreprenuer.
With all my Great up and down experiences, all Inspiring and motivational moments, all the gains, All the Enjoyment at the Mumbai trip, I flew back to Mysore.
Thanks a lot Godrej and their Organisers for a beautiful and Inspiring Trip, which really meant a lot to me. Thanks to all the genuine efforts of the organisers due to whom i got the chance to Meet up Aamir.
Thanks a lot to the other three winners Jaey Gajera, Prasanjit Saha and Suman Kamath for giving a good experience and company.
