The Global Villager

 

The sudden knocking at the window broke the peaceful abode that Sayan was residing in. Sayan sat up straight with crunched eyebrows. The government holiday owing to Makar

Sankranti had given him a reason to stay at home this cold morning. The dawn woke him up and he engrossed himself in browsing through the endless historical destinations of the world, however the sleepy eyes couldn't continue long. Heena's sudden knock had caused a return of Sayan to this materialistic world again. He opened the window and saw the pretty girl with a fresh smile . But before Sayan could express anything to Heena, he saw Gurmeet was eagerly waiting for him!

“How is life Buddy? Are the official issues resolved?” Gurmeet asked in his joyous voice.

“Nothing is working right” Said Sayan. Sayan's words triggered an immediate reply from

Gurmeet, “Why don't you come here and join me? Just forward your cv right away”.

“Who is keeping you busy, Sayan?” asked Heena irritatingly. To manage the unintentional neglect from his side, Sayan asked, “When is your medical appointment dear?”

The question was painful & he feels moist eyes of Heena.

Heena was about to say something when Sayan realized that the laptop-battery exhausted suddenly!

Sayan did not bother about the eight hour long power cut all through the last winter night, but the sudden disappearance of Heena & Gurmeet brought down Sayan to face the reality & virtuality of life in a moment!

Sitting in a posh apartment in Karachi, Heena had no clue why her facebook friend Sayan suddenly disappeared from the chat-window, while Mexico based Gurmeet kept apprehending the reasons which could have caused the sudden ending of his skype call with India Based Sayan.

Sayan started walking down the memory lane and thinking how within six months a Pakistani Girl Heena, a cancer patient, had become his closest companion even though fate hadn't given chance them to meet with each other. Gurmeet, on the other hand, is trying to cope up with life after the severe accident few months ago. The accident has walked away with his memory. What remains still, is his realizations that he still works in a Mexico-based farm where he used to

work before! Hence he wants his skype friend Sayan to come to Mexico city to join him.

Sayan sighs, as he knows, he has nowhere to go, he can't leave his job. The curse of 'thalasemia' will not allow him to leave it. He has to continue being a State-Govt typist for the rest of his life in a small town like Ghatal in west bengal!

At the dark hours of the night Sayan lies on his bed & in a pensive mood starts roaming around the lanes which leads to the terrorism sensitive Karachi or politically turmoiled Mexico where Heena & Gurmeet waits for him to share subtle feelings. This feeling makes Sayan's solitary life truly significant & encourages him to live life to its fullest.

Are you an entrepreneur?


"Are you an entrepreneur in attitude?"This question came from a Keynote speaker I got chance to meet in a seminar few days ago. It was a Entrepreneurship development Workshop & speaker was in Q&A mode while delivering his thought process. I didn't answered to the speaker that moment.. but started to converse with me (what I always love to do). I asked to myself, who am I to speak about entrepreneurship, who has no experience in Business in Life? But my soul answered, is it only business? Is it only profit?  Is it only serving customers need? That is entrepreneurship? I got confused. But the conversation goes on with my soul. I clearly realized few feeling from my deeper mind. I felt, to me, entrepreneur cannot be not just running a business or serving customers or gaining profit. Rather entrepreneurship is a philosophy of life, attitude to face the journey of life. I felt, to me entrepreneurship is the basic question which impels us to thought 1) who we are ? 2) what is the purpose we are born? 3) Weather we are on that track of our own purpose? 4) Weather we are creating our own track consciously (not just following proven track) ? 5) Weather we are searching & getting the true motivated walk-the-talkers of that track to move on this journey? 6) whether we are finding people to which we can share our feelings, experiences, realizations , philosophies so that it may impact to their life.
After realizing, I felt relief. It was clear to me, Entrepreneur to me is a 24x7 mindset. To generate the leading like thought-process. To continue it by challenging our inner & outer world & to share our thoughts genuinely with the people with believe, to make this world better day by day. whatever be the product of the thought process, doesn't matter, it may be a product, may be a service, may be philosophies, But core point is we must 'believe' in whatever we do, we must not just 'carried away' by other's followed suggestion or instructions Or definations. Yes, 'profit & revenue' must be there, because we have to physically survive, & live better too. But to me, it is the 'content' that matters much, & then we can find "revenue" by sharing our 'believed' content with those people who are really searching for the same content. Hence to me, A true entrepreneur will not compromise with the content to get the revenue. Because, then he will be in booby trap, what a he never wants. And whoelse donot feel,  any work without believe, is just near to death!
