Conversation with a middle aged entrepreneur X (currently working in US), who had plans to set up a company in Vizag.
X : I should probably look for another city. Who would setup a company in a cyclone prone area? It’s dream of ‘IT hub’ will be a dream.
Me: Where else would you find people, whose spirits aren’t deterred even by such destruction?
where else would you find people that help everyone in the team, even if it’s not their job?
where else would you find people working, building their city back, even without power and with food, water shortages ?
where else would you find people that don’t keep complaining and move on irrespective of circumstances?
Now, just relate these to a project in your company. Trust me, you can never find a better place than Vizag.
*Spoken in relation to HudHud cyclone, that happened in Vizag, 2014.

Interaction with a Stranger X, in metro to DC
Me : So, what are you planning to visit today in DC?
X : White House
Me: Seriously ? But that’s a pretty boring one.
X : Look kid, journeys are not about monuments/places. It’s about people and fun. White house is boring, but the park next to it isn’t.

Teeram telisaka, unko darini marchana?
Darulu sari aina, vere teeram cherana?
Nadakalu navena? Nadichedi nenena??
Engish: Have I changed my route, after knowing the destination? or Have I reached wrong destination, despite going on the correct route? Is it my journey? Am I the one walking?
Kudos to lyric writer - Ananth Sriram

If you want to be a photographer, don’t mind taking numerous bad clicks.
If you want to be a dancer, don’t mind performing some awkward moves.
If you want to be a singer, don’t mind messing up tunes with your voice.
If you want to be a programmer, don’t mind throwing thousands of errors.
If you want to be a cricketer, don’t mind numerous misfields and mishits.
What ever profession you choose, who ever the expert you take, they all were once amature, made thousands of silly mistakes. It took years of practice and constant efforts, to make them experts.
