Vision

At my startup school, I attended many new things to learn but I also met the words to my vision which I always believed in..

I will promote freedom at all costs.
I will do everything in my power to drive, build and pursue progress and change.
My brand, my network, and my reputation are paramount.
I will set positive examples for others to emulate.
I will instill good habits in myself. I will take care of myself.
I will fail and fail again until I succeed.
I will explore the world with gusto and enthusiasm.
I will treat people well.
I will make short-term sacrifices for long term success.
I will pursue fairness, openness, health and fun with all that I encounter. Mostly fun.
I will keep my word.
I will try my best to make reparations for my digressions.

Mission

I will constantly strive to be a better version of myself in my health, work, attitude, and emotional well-being in my relationships with family, friends, and colleagues to give more reasons for everyone to be happy and to be smiling.

If we are convinced with a SEMBLANCE of vision and mission in our life then it is WORSE than not having them because if it did not exist then you could at least take a CHANCE to have it figured out soon.

Values

Honesty

Honesty definitely keeps the troubles away for me because I have never been fond of temporary reliefs which leads to a lie trap and so I have always been able to produce high quality service, relations and outcomes! I had a great interpersonal relationship with my parents and now with my wife which resulted in this enduring value to be with me even when I connect with the outside world. Honesty has empowered me to share my feelings and thoughts with authenticity to build a world of utmost pleasure and peace for me as well as for others!

Courage

Courage is necessary to overcome fear and achieve goals and it worked wonders for me to reach new peaks in my life. Courage for me is not about demonstrating physical strength but to voice up for truth, challenge the wrongs and present the better for myself and others. I inherited this value from my parents as they never gave up on me despite my childhood troubles as well as showed courage to fight the odds of life. Neutrally evaluating a situation and then taking a side with clear justification on facts was the most important skill I had learned from being courageous!

Fairness

Fairness is very important for society and it matters to me the most. I encourage fairness in all my relations and engagements to bring equilibrium of opinions and explore opportunities together which can benefit everyone. Interestingly this value was imbibed in me very early when as a child my parents would first hear my thoughts and then explain me right and wrong for it with world context to pin down the fair approach to it. Fairness is a lot more than we all think as it is a tool for building mutual trust and respect, responsible leadership which results in a peaceful community.

Respect

Respect is to be earned and not to be asked or given. I oppose the practice of breaking the boundaries which are built on respecting elders, seniors, teachers and relatives. I was taught by my parents to follow cultural and family boundaries which promotes respect and the most important thought was very well put into my head is that as a young one pay the respect first and then expect it in return or do not expect it at all. I choose to not expect it because it tells me more about that person.

Caring

Care is good to have as well as to give. In my childhood my parents were after me for every task and made me feel that they are just task masters but when I started reaping the benefits due to their interventions, I realized what care is! My mother told me caring goes beyond family and is not limited to thanksgiving. To make me realize this too, she made me mindful of being caring for everything I do and that paved a way for me to be an empathetic human being!

Trust

Hoping for something and believing one for their skills, honesty, integrity, justice and reliability is called trust. I always bank my trust with people who want to be trusted and valued and I show hopes for things which are positive and will impact for good. My parents had no choice but to trust me for what I said I could do and doing so they hoped for a better future for all of us. Everything is destined to happen but it's uncertain for us so showing trust and working your day out is key to reaching your destination!

Family

My close knit family is weaved into those threads of high family and moral values which keeps us tied together making it a team of four; my parents, my wife and myself! We complete each other by serving what is needed and we protect each other by defending which may harm us. We celebrate love, friendship and eternal bond by enjoying every occasion and festival making us united to achieve our short and long term family goals.

Despite few differences we are largely integrated to command and execute our family strengths to respond to every event or incident which comes our way.

Our family ambition of being helpful to mankind is a never ending journey of satisfaction and happiness for all of us. My parents and grandparents have been the fundamental source of support, help and vision to live a better life and increase mutual cooperation to sustain a pleasant, peaceful and healthy family life.

Worship

Worshiping God is a way for me to show how much I love, adore and revere the spirit of god. Worship is my way to show my love and trust in God and I wish to do so more and more by spending time performing pujas, yagnas and visiting temples to offer my prayers. My time to worship also enables me to ask for forgiveness to god for any sins I would have performed knowingly or unknowingly. I was religiously groomed by my parents and swadhyay of hinduism to find god in everyone and everywhere to value persons and situations to appreciate what life has to offer us.

Friends

Only relationship which is not defined by blood but still close to my heart is friendship. I may have differences with my friends but I would still have them because their different opinions would always be of value to me and so I ask for friendship in every new relationship because you can carry it forward even if you have differences with the new person. Time has tested for me that my friendship in every relationship has guaranteed amazing exchanges to make every moment memorable. I have made friends in my family, relatives as well as around the world to see a new horizon of hope to improve our experiences of life.

Beliefs

Love

I believe that love is life and life without love is meaningless as we always have responded in our best possible way when we were given love. I have exchanged love for love and that simply translates there is no better alternative for love. Love generates happiness so I choose love as my currency to win every person and situation which keeps everyone smiling! I do not have to worry about my love currency as I have it in abundance and when I give it to others it just adds more happiness and does no harm unlike the materialistic way of our world.

Karma

Karma is a thought for a lifetime and so I always have it in my mind. More than Newton's theory that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, karma is about what I believe and intend. Karma is a tool to create my own experience of life as it starts from my thoughts and then transcends into my actions so basically what I am doing is what I will get back. To build a pleasant experience for myself I keep up with my beliefs and good intentions so this universe would do the same to me. Over a period of time this has become a habit resulting in happiness and peace.

Positivity

Thinking about positive things does not create positivity around and so I just do not decide whether anything is positive or negative. I believe in the theory of ‘being responsive’ which states that regardless of the nature of the act, thought and decision I will welcome what comes my way and I would have my own response to address the situation and resolve problems in the best possible way, this becomes the only possibility to manage my life experience. So the best I could do is stop thinking and start responding because life is not what happens to you but it is what you do about it.

Servantship

I have always been a disciple of my god and my religion but beyond that I have practiced to be a servant of humanity, lead all noble causes, and valuing every human more than myself. Servantship for me is to serve everyone without thinking of their religion and race. I may be at my office or in my neighborhood or at a temple, servantship is what I would like to offer in my best capacity to enable others meet their objectives and reach their destination. In turn this would make me much closer to God and his wisdom. When I have this followed it gives me a sense of accomplishment and happiness which contributes to my well being.

Relationship

I do not try to build relationships in a day but I invest my time, bank my trust and pay respect to nurture any of my old or new associations. From acquaintance to the maturity of a relationship I see myself and the others best fit in sharing and giving knowledge, love, care, respect resulting in happiness and growth. Relationships for me are a testimony of time and can teach me lessons as well as lead me to my family, personal, spiritual and professional goals which invariably makes it simple and easy to determine whether it is worthwhile to continue in a relationship. I advocate a purposeful relationship which is mutually beneficial to give life everyday a great happy head start.

Commitment

I see commitment as a mechanism to strengthen myself and to find my real potential and I do it by giving no excuses, not cutting corners and not being unavailable to what I own, which throttles me to achieve which seems to be impossible. My commitments maximize my capability to focus on the bigger picture and purpose of life and my life goals with the incarnation of a razor sharp vision which enables me to set the next set of goals for me. Fulfilling my commitments and expecting the same from others is what I consider one of the important factors to continue in any relationship.

Dependability

Dependability is like a rock for a boulder on which a climber relies, life of the climber depends on the stability of the rock. I always welcome righteous dependability on things and people which slates clear enabling constraints. I always want to be a person on whom one can hang their plan and so to reciprocate I will commit with caution. When I get into a relationship with commitment, I fulfill it with consistency and expect the person to do the same, sticking to the agreement which was made before the relationship commenced. In this process of dependability my objective is to reduce disbenefits and disappointments, increasing moments of happiness going along.

Openness

I celebrate openness because it encourages freedom. I practice openness to democratize every possible thing we do in personal and professional life because it promises inclusiveness of all. Being open to almost everything and everyone which does not harm me or others is the way I am able to build a varied and rich experience for myself. My exploration of different facets of life, way of doing things and learning new chapters of life is very inclusive as I see it as a driving force to achieve shared growth, mutual benefit and build most preferred human traits with a long lasting experience of happiness.

Hindutva

Hindutva is not about hindu nationalism or hindu religious fundamentalism but about the belief of Hindus to achieve inclusive growth and happiness which makes a community free of radicalization, racial and ethnic discremination, focusing on growth for all. I am a Hindu and want to keep believing in hindutva to extend its principles to establish a state where we can be known by our culture and not by our religion to be treated well for what we are and not disrespected or differentiated for what we follow as our faith. My hindutva is the centripetal force to counter every force which is a centrifugal force to impose societal hierarchy and capitalistic mentality.

If we are setting up OURSELVES for being LIKED then we will not achieve anything,
if we are setting up OURSELVES for RESULTS then we will not accomplish anything,
If we are setting OURSELVES up for being MINDFUL of our VISION and PURPOSEFUL with our own BELIEFS it would lead us to complete our MISSION successfully.

Workout

Nothing can change you the way exercise and yoga can change you physically, mentally and psychologically for your betterment and I can say this because I have myself experienced it. Undertaking daily workouts supplements me with immense energy and enthusiasm to explore everything with a high amount of inner happiness and inner motivation improving my overall experience of everything I do across the day. I just do not workout to be fit and to be in shape but to ensure adequate inner healing and growth to contribute for my great future and healthy state of my body.

Growth

Growth has many definitions but the one which works for me is to know everything possible to make it your growth mindset. It is the information and knowledge which I absorb into me to build skills, derive understanding and make decisions. I often face information overload during the day that literally floats in my dreams at night but I haven’t let me land into information paralysis making everyone feel stuck with me. I see learning as a growth strategy as I believe to do so for skill acquisition as well self improvement. If I am asked about the biggest mistake and risk then I would say ‘’ Not learning about the reasons for mistakes and if I know then not doing anything about it‘’.
