Sunder Pichai the new CEO:

It is not every day that one of the world's largest technology companies announces a new CEO.
So when Google announced that Sundar Pichai was taking the reins on Monday, his promotion gained thousands of column inches worldwide - not least of all in his native India.
The Hindu newspaper called the news "a bonus for people of Indian-origin world over". The Times of India hailed the "quiet yet thoughtful" man from Chennai (Madras).
But his ascent is far from unique. In fact, it is becoming ever more common for major international companies to have an Indian-born CEO.
One study, by the University of Southern New Hampshire, says that Indian managers are more successful because of "a paradoxical blend of genuine personal humility and intense professional will".
Whatever the model is, it seems to be working. Mr Pichai is the latest, and the most high-profile, Indian-born CEO. You can read more about him here - but here are five more Indian-born CEOs who are making waves.
Satya Nadella - Microsoft

Mr Nadella, 47, who was named the head of Microsoft in February last year, was one of the first to tweet his congratulations to Mr Pichai on Monday.
On his first day in the job, the father-of-three sent an email to all staff, calling it "a very humbling day for me".
"I am... defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning," he told staff. "I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses than I can complete.
"I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things."
Born in Hyderabad, he joined the company in 1992 and was previously in charge of Microsoft's Cloud OS service, which powers products such as Bing, Skype and Xbox Live.
Microsoft's man at the top
Ajay Banga - Mastercard

After working for Nestle, then PepsiCo, Mr Banga - who is from Pune - took over as CEO of the credit card company in July 2010. He began his career with Nestle in 1981.
In a speech in April to his alma mater, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), he outlined what he called the "grand plan" he had at the start of his career.
"Get with somebody good. Get with somebody global. Do something that interested me. That's it. So, don't stress if you haven't got a detailed plan for your life. Anyone can have a good idea or plan; what makes it great is execution."
He also outlined six main lessons for good leadership:
a sense of urgency
a sense of balance
the courage to take thoughtful risks
be competitively paranoid
develop a global view
do well and do good
Indira Nooyi - PepsiCo

Named the third most powerful woman in business by Fortune magazine last year, Ms Nooyi was, like Sundar Pichai, born in Chennai.
She was named CEO of PepsiCo in 2006, having joined the company in 1994.
The company she presides over is a food and drinks giant: some of the brands owned by PepsiCo include Starbucks, Muller, Frito-Lay and Tropicana. The company says 22 of its brands are each worth more than $1bn (£640m).
"In my case, I benefited because I grew up outside of the United States," Ms Nooyi said in an interview in March.
"I understand exactly how the world works, and I could see the world through the eyes of people from outside the United States."
Ivan Menezes - Diageo

Mr Menezes, from Pune, is another IIM graduate. He took over as head of the British drinks giant Diageo in July 2013.
Like Ajay Banga, he began his career with Nestle in 1981.
Among the brands the company owns are Guinness, Johnnie Walker whisky, Smirnoff vodka and Captain Morgan rum.
One of his biggest moves as CEO was to buy a majority stake in India's United Spirits company, though that deal has since provided Diageo with a number of headaches.
Shantanu Narayen - Adobe Systems

Mr Narayen, from Hyderabad, has run the software firm since December 2007. He began his career with Apple.
"There's an Indian community that's vibrant and thriving," he said of Silicon Valley in an interview in February. "We attribute a lot of that to the importance of education that we all grew up with."
In the interview, he said Hyderabad's schools - modelled on the British public school system - helped his progression, as did having a foreigner's appreciation of the opportunity the US had given him.

एक बार
एक किसान का
घोडा बीमार हो गया।

उसने उसके इलाज के लिए
डॉक्टर को बुलाया

डॉक्टर ने घोड़े का अच्छे से
मुआयना किया और बोल|

"आपके घोड़े को
काफी गंभीर बीमारी है।
हम तीन दिन तक इसे
दवाई देकर देखते हैं,
अगर यह ठीक हो गया तो
ठीक। नहीं तो हमें
इसे मारना होगा।
क्योंकि
यह बीमारी
दूसरे जानवरों में
भी फ़ैल सकती है।"

यह सब बातें पास में खड़ा
एक बकरा भी सुन रहा था।

अगले दिन डॉक्टर आया,
उसने घोड़े को
दवाई दी चला गया।

उसके जाने के बाद
बकरा घोड़े के
पास गया और बोला,
"उठो दोस्त, हिम्मत करो,
नहीं तो यह तुम्हें मार देंगे।"

दूसरे दिन
डॉक्टर फिर आया
और दवाई देकर चला गया।
बकरा फिर घोड़े के पास आया
और बोला,
"दोस्त
तुम्हें उठना ही होगा।
हिम्मत करो
नहीं तो तुम मारे जाओगे।
मैं तुम्हारी मदद करता हूँ।
चलो उठो"

तीसरे दिन
जब डॉक्टर आया तो
किसान से बोला,
"मुझे अफ़सोस है कि
हमें इसे मारना पड़ेगा
क्योंकि कोई भी सुधार
नज़र नहीं आ रहा।"

जब वो वहाँ से गए तो
बकरा घोड़े के पास
फिर आया और बोला,
"देखो दोस्त,
तुम्हारे लिए अब
करो या मरो वाली
स्थिति बन गयी है।

अगर तुम आज भी नहीं उठे
तो कल तुम मर जाओगे।
इसलिए हिम्मत करो।
हाँ, बहुत अच्छे।
थोड़ा सा और,
तुम कर सकते हो।
शाबाश,
अब भाग कर देखो,
तेज़ और तेज़।"

इतने में किसान
वापस आया तो उसने देखा कि
उसका घोडा भाग रहा है।

वो ख़ुशी से झूम उठा
और सब घर वालों को
इकट्ठा कर के चिल्लाने लगा,

"चमत्कार हो गया,
मेरा घोडा ठीक हो गया।
अब हम जश्न मनाएंगे।
और
आज बकरा काट के खायेंगे।"

शिक्षा :
Management को
कभी नही पता होता कि
कौन employee
काम कर रहा है ।

I Have Optimism – A Story About What We Really Own

Three neighbouring farmers were talking when the subject of possessions came up.

“I own a huge mansion!” one proudly proclaimed.  “I own a successful farm!” said the second. “I have optimism,” the third said quietly.

His two neighbours laughed at him, for what good is a possession that cannot be seen or touched?

That night a huge storm struck.  The storm destroyed the first neighbour’s house.  “What am I to do?” he cried.  The storm ruined the second neighbour’s crops.  What will I do?” he lamented.  The storm also destroyed the third neighbour’s home and farm.  “Hmmm, what should I do first?” he asked himself and then he proceeded to rebuild his home and replant his crops.

His neighbours had been sitting around feeling sorry for themselves as they watched the third farmer rebuild, so they decided to ask him his secret to bouncing back so quickly.  “It is no secret,” the man said.  “The only thing I own is what I think.”  The two farmers suddenly understood, and with the third neighbour’s help, they rebuilt too.

From then on, whenever they met, they did not talk about possessions.  They talked about their blessings and shared them with each other, because they now realised that there’s little point in holding on to something that you do not own.

This story reminds us that whatever circumstances come our way, if we are able to maintain an optimistic and hope-filled perspective, we’re doing OK. 

An optimistic person is always looking for the best in any situation and expecting good things to happen. Optimism is the tendency to believe, expect or hope that things will turn out well.  Even if something bad happens, like the loss of possessions, loss of a job etc etc, an optimist sees the silver lining.

Being an optimist or a pessimist boils down to the way you talk to yourself. Optimists believe that their own actions result in positive things happening, that they are responsible for their own happiness, and that they can expect more good things to happen in the future. Optimists don’t blame themselves when bad things happen. They view bad events as results of something outside of themselves.

Change your thoughts... change your life !  Be Optimistic !!! 

माँ बाप अनमोल है:

बड़े गुस्से से मैं घर से चला आया ..

इतना गुस्सा था की गलती से पापा के ही जूते पहन के निकल गया
मैं आज बस घर छोड़ दूंगा, और तभी लौटूंगा जब बहुत बड़ा आदमी बन जाऊंगा ...

जब मोटर साइकिल नहीं दिलवा सकते थे, तो क्यूँ इंजीनियर बनाने के सपने देखतें है .....
आज मैं पापा का पर्स भी उठा लाया था .... जिसे किसी को हाथ तक न लगाने देते थे ...

मुझे पता है इस पर्स मैं जरुर पैसो के हिसाब की डायरी होगी ....
पता तो चले कितना माल छुपाया है .....
माँ से भी ...

इसीलिए हाथ नहीं लगाने देते किसी को..

जैसे ही मैं कच्चे रास्ते से सड़क पर आया, मुझे लगा जूतों में कुछ चुभ रहा है ....
मैंने जूता निकाल कर देखा .....
मेरी एडी से थोडा सा खून रिस आया था ...
जूते की कोई कील निकली हुयी थी, दर्द तो हुआ पर गुस्सा बहुत था ..

और मुझे जाना ही था घर छोड़कर ...

जैसे ही कुछ दूर चला ....
मुझे पांवो में गिला गिला लगा, सड़क पर पानी बिखरा पड़ा था ....
पाँव उठा के देखा तो जूते का तला टुटा था .....

जैसे तेसे लंगडाकर बस स्टॉप पहुंचा, पता चला एक घंटे तक कोई बस नहीं थी .....

मैंने सोचा क्यों न पर्स की तलाशी ली जाये ....

मैंने पर्स खोला, एक पर्ची दिखाई दी, लिखा था..
लैपटॉप के लिए 40 हजार उधार लिए
पर लैपटॉप तो घर मैं मेरे पास है ?

दूसरा एक मुड़ा हुआ पन्ना देखा, उसमे उनके ऑफिस की किसी हॉबी डे का लिखा था
उन्होंने हॉबी लिखी अच्छे जूते पहनना ......
ओह....अच्छे जुते पहनना ???
पर उनके जुते तो ...........!!!!

माँ पिछले चार महीने से हर पहली को कहती है नए जुते ले लो ...
और वे हर बार कहते "अभी तो 6 महीने जूते और चलेंगे .."
मैं अब समझा कितने चलेंगे

......तीसरी पर्ची ..........
पुराना स्कूटर दीजिये एक्सचेंज में नयी मोटर साइकिल ले जाइये ...
पढ़ते ही दिमाग घूम गया.....
पापा का स्कूटर .............
ओह्ह्ह्ह

मैं घर की और भागा........
अब पांवो में वो कील नही चुभ रही थी ....

मैं घर पहुंचा .....
न पापा थे न स्कूटर ..............
ओह्ह्ह नही
मैं समझ गया कहाँ गए ....

मैं दौड़ा .....
और
एजेंसी पर पहुंचा......
पापा वहीँ थे ...............

मैंने उनको गले से लगा लिया, और आंसुओ से उनका कन्धा भिगो दिया ..

.....नहीं...पापा नहीं........ मुझे नहीं चाहिए मोटर साइकिल...

बस आप नए जुते ले लो और मुझे अब बड़ा आदमी बनना है..

वो भी आपके तरीके से ...।।

Changing our vision !!!

There was a very wealthy man who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted many physicians and was being treated by several. He did not stop consulting a galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections. But the ache persisted with more vigour than before.

 At last, a monk who was supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the suffering man. The monk understood his problem and said that for sometime he should concentrate only on green colours and not to let his eyes fall on any other colours. It was a strange prescription, but he was desperate and decided to try it.

 The millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green paint and directed that every object his eye was likely to fall to be painted green just as the monk had directed. When the monk came to visit him after few days, the millionaire's servants ran with buckets of green paint and poured it on him since he was in red dress, lest their master see any other colour and his eye ache would come back.

 Hearing this, the monk laughed and said "If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, worth just a few dollars, you could have saved these walls and trees and pots and all other articles and also could have saved a large share of his fortune. You cannot paint the world green."

 Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly.  It is foolish to shape the world, let us shape ourselves first.

In order to be the person you desire to be, you have to be very clear on who that person is. You have to know yourself  inside and out.  You must understand your thoughts, feelings, desires, fears and goals. If you don’t know that much about yourself, then you may never truly realize once you’ve become the person you desire to be !

Okay, you’re done for right now. How do you feel?  Are you inspired and ready to take one step closer to becoming who it is that you envision in your mind? Has this motivated you to do what it takes to get the same thoughts and feelings as theperfect you so you can also enjoy that level of happiness?

Good. You’re on the right path. But, it’s going to be a long walk, so it’s time to keep moving.

Evil and good depends upon feeding:

An old Cherokee told his grandson: “My son, there’s a battle between two wolves inside us all.
One is Evil. It’s anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego.
The other is Good. It’s joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness & truth.”

The boy thought about it, and asked: “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”
The old man quietly replied: “The one you feed.”

Good Morning ������

इतने अच्छे बने की आप की उपेक्षा करने का किसी में साहस ही न हो।

इतने अच्छे बने की आप की उपेक्षा करने का किसी में साहस ही न हो।

उलझ पड़ते अगर तो हम में तुम में फ़र्क़ क्या रहता
यही दीवार बाक़ी थी सलामत छोड़ दी हम ने !

यदि आप गुसे के एक क्षण में धैर्य रखते हैं!!!
तो आप दुःख के सौ दिन से बच जायँगे।।

ज्यादा बोझ लेकर चलने वाले अक्सर डूब जाते हैं ~
फिर चाहे वो अभिमान का हो या सामान का..!! 

कर लेते है बर्दाश्त उनकी बेरुखी इसी आस के साथ।
कि खुदा नूर भी बरसाता है आजमाइशों के बाद।”

हुकुमत वही करता है जिसका दिलों पे राज होता है,
वरना युं तो गली के मुर्गो के सर पर भी ताज होता है..

हर एक शक्स खफा, मुझसे अंजुमन में था...
क्योंकि मेरे लब पे वही था, जो मेरे मन में था....
