Deciding the career path

Lots of thing are going on. I am getting interested in the events which are happening around me. Previously I wasn't able to read newspaper because it use to effect me but now at least I can read news on internet, the ones which I like to read. Recently, I have seen  that in Indian Express app the news are worth reading, they don't post unnecessary  news.

Facebook can be used to get trending news and read lots of useful articles.
Twitter can be used to get an idea of latest happenings.

I have taken up responsibilities at work. Getting older, now I really need to know how to live life so that I may achieve what I want to or for now at least I can say that how to be a quality person in business field.
Should I go for MBA? do I need it or ? I should read some more about this and figure out that should I really take this decision? 

I am good at coding. Moreover I don't want to spend any more money on education. I have already burnt a lot.

Talks about business and events.

Today I was having conversation with Samip, telling him about the idea that me and Niraj were planning to have a Saturday event kind of once in a month for the startups to validate their idea.
I recalled that there was two events which we tried to organize and was successful in a small scale.
Samip came up with the idea that why not to leave an impression by the time we leave Kolkata. Organize a event in a small scale and make it successful.

I thought "Yes it is possible". Will need to plan out how? as we don't want to make it a big one so that it may not effect our work schedule in any possible way.

We can plan it in the month of September once Samip is back from States.
Name it, "Learn how to hack".

Then on returned back to home, had a conversation with Niraj regarding a product. I need to learn marketing!! representing, showcasing. He said why not to take this ERP product further, why not to sell this software to small to medium scale shops. I don't know what would be the future but if we try to help these small scale businesses to aid them in making more sales and managing their business then I hope we may succeed in making some sales.
  • Sales target: 10. 
  • Cost of the software: 5000 INR.
  • Type of business: Garments, Medicine.
  • Value Prop: Purchase and Sales, Dealers and Customers.
 This Saturday, me Niraj and Anup are going to have a discussion about this. Let's see what comes up.

Making yourself better

What is exactly my goal? When I can say that yes I have gained the stability of my life and I am successful.
What is the mark where I have to reach? Financially, Socially, Professionally and Personally. In all the four horizons what is that I have to be so that I may call myself yes this is it, which I was dreaming.

Personally, I am a good guy and I have to be a good guy. No such jealousy, hidden thoughts for anyone.

Professionally I am getting better. I am learning every day doing something which I can't do or is at the higher level. This way I am taking steps vertically. Need to go further. At this moment I am an employee. One day I will stand out my own business or uphold father's business and will run it.

Financially I am getting better, my bank account is getting a good amount of savings. Though I need to learn how to spend and run your livelihood entirely on yourself. I need to educate myself and practise this. How much I am earning, how much I should spend and how much should I save. I need to work out on this part.

Socially, yes this part needs a lot of attention. I am not going out mixing with people and being social. I am living alone with myself. I really need to go out and open up in every different type of groups and community.

The point which I have missed out are being Healthy, how is my Psychology, what is my Philosophy?

These are the areas which also need attention when you need stability and success in your life.

The Sherlock effect

Yesterday (3rd May 2015) it was Sunday and I was stuck in watching a TV series named Sherlock, I really like the serial, it made me think that when you are obsessed about something i.e. your work which you love to do, then you are never left alone anywhere.
Things which had surprised me from that series are the term like

  • Mindmap
  • Thinking with the help of pictures
  • Solving a problem in your mind with a large amount of data
  • Talking to yourself and avoiding what others are thinking about you when you do so
  • Love the subject which you like working on
  • Creating a space in your home which is comfortable of thinking and experimenting

I wonder how can a person be so much obsessed about doing something so much. Waoooo I would say.
When you are alone you enhance the skills which you have and then while working along or with someone you can show off your skills set which you actually have and trying to upgrade it every day.
Thats what humans like isn't it, people liking them and appreciating their qualities. This make a person feel satisfied.

Watching Sherlock has somehow affected my way of thinking, now I don't like to think low level thoughts.
I need to enhance myself and you the time when I am alone productively.

How can I experiment the logic which I thought to develop any module of the project?

Truth about self success.

A man is known by his own mentality. How successful he will be in his life or will achieve which he wants to.
I kept on thinking for years about the secret behind a man's success. Here when I was driving to office today (11th May 2015) morning I realised that it's not the quality which makes a man perfect. It is the things which are in his head, the process of thinking the content of his/her thinking.

If I am having a clear thought of something like what I should do in each stage of life, which kind of close friends I choose to stay with. All this point makes a man perfect and closer to his goal.


If my thought process is clear without any complexity and I know what to do and when I don't know then at least know what decision I should take to proceed further then I am walking on the right path.


All this while in my life I use to think how to become a person like I use to dream. The righteous and successful person. Now I know I am heading towards the right direction in my life.

  • Trying to improve myself each day.
  • Finding ways to keep myself productive each day.
  • Making new friends.
  • Stepping towards the community workers in organisations like CRY.
No doing wasteful things and utilising the time as much as possible like Sherlock.

In our life there are few role models who inspire us. I have also been inspired by such characters (real or fiction) but I really received it well and I think we should let good characters inspire us. Read about them and learn from their methods. Build up thought process as well. 


This is what I think which will make a person worthy for himself and take him towards the goal which he/she dreams of.

Science behind solving a problem

Today me and the CEO of the company where I work were trying to solve a problem. It was a simple logical problem which was from a website. Though the problem was solved by him. I really like the approach which he used to solve the problem.

Then in the afternoon I sat to work on some problem sums from Hacker Rank. I realized that the problem sums there too have the samples (i.e. test cases) to give a better understanding of the problem.

In maths, this too may be applied. The approach which I am talking about is having three section:

  • Problem
  • Samples
  • Solution

This is basically to solve big or complex problem, because most of the time we don't get the clear idea about the problem. To reach to the solution, one should first dissect the big chunk of problem in a minute section, out of this section one should draw a sample i.e. for this input what would be the output. Say that the process through which we withdrawn the out is our hypothesis.
Thus from this assumed output and process we try to form the solution and check whether it really solves the problem, if it does then we solved it, if it doesn't then we for sure our hypothesis is wrong, take a break then revert back and come up with a new process.

This way one can surely solve a big problem without getting stuck.

Note: This post contains complete abstract theory. One can't get any help from this post unless he/she practically implement this and draws a conclusion him/her-self.

Realization of my abstract GOAL !!

Yesterday I wrote on the notice board thinking about my GOAL?
I wasn't able to find any!! This is who I am at this moment. An aimless person who don't know which way to flow.
This morning I came up with the idea of filling up my imagination with what I want to become one day. I know I try to step towards starting a business and running it, that means I thrive to become an entrepreneur providing a service or having a product. But, I don't know how to become one of them. The reason is no one neither I have made myself to visualise the path which I have to travel and giving a hint how to travel those path.

Here I am in office arrived early and took a decision to watch few videos on Pitching Idea to Angel Investors, viewing some live footage if there is which will help me to gain the knowledge about how things happen. This is how I can gain the confidence I guess to talk to or to give a presentation in front of investors.

This is how I can have the context for my thoughts rather than thinking some stupid stuff which people (most of them) do. i have also started doing that so I need to learn how to deviate my focus from there and start thinking and filling up my dreams with some real stuff which will help me in near future.

At this point of time, I have no confidence that how I can make a startup and run it successfully. But this is not going to demotivate me. I will fight with this some how and find the way out. Sometime I really do feel that I am in a deep shit. I need to come out of it. I don't see the capability in me for what I want to achieve. I need to make myself up and ready for that. I need to get matured and start designing the world which I dream of.

Let's begin again.

Goals - long term vs short term rewards

 I guess it has started to be clear now that it's the goal which drives a person or else he or she may fall in the grip of the activitie...
