Employment or Entrepreneurship!!

A thought ,a disucssion that occupies major part of my thinking almost always...

what to choose? choosing for what?

it should be done by interest? or by analysing which path can give more benefits to you monetarily, emotionally etc..

if it is by interest,do you have the capability of working on your interest and turn it into a income generating venture, build a team who can work on your goal and keep it going... yeah all successful business people are successful team builders...

as Kishore Biyani mentions in It Happened in India... life offers you certain amount of time and it all depends on how you pass that time...

employment or entrepreneurship is a very important choice anyne can make in their life..cause it determines their financial as well as personal life standards and well being..

in my personal opinion, the corporate employment helps very little in enhancing ones family/personal life and it is evident with the number of divorce cases ..

entrepreneurship on the other hand helps you to develop a community which is yours for any occassion or urgency ..thus helps is having high elevls of emotional support..

also considering the monetary benefits associated with the entrepreneurship , it beats employment hands down any day..

only one question we should ask is ..where ever we are employed, what is the firm owner doing? employment or entrepreneurship?

Pocharam, Hyderabad, Telangana

for the last one week to ten days, Pocharam is the most important place for us..
the company where I work is setting up a new campus there and many of my colleagues purchased or in the process of purchasing land near by the new campus..

the question now is will Pocharam be another Madhapur or Gachibowli in next 10 years?
there is an IT park by Rahejas near by and if more software people start living in that area, it will definitely fetch good returns ..if not we can build a home and live there close to our office at a very less cost ..

the land rates in this area are from 2k to 4.5k per sq.yd and in my opinion a very good investment for the next 5- 10 years

Saturday , Sunday - WEEKEND

what so special abt these two days?..most important days for large portion of the working people across the world.. life for them without these two is un imaginable..

why only these two days are clubbed always and have a name, 'WEEKEND'... no other day in a week is important and so close to any other day..

this weekend culture is not original for indians and being from a business family, never had to look for free time to get our daily chores done.. and came across this weekend when i joined the 9-6 workforce un willingly and un happily..

7 years gone by and i dont remember any time when i was eager for the coming weekend. but once Vibhav entered our lives, I started looking forward to the weekends..

and this makes me realise how important these two days for the working class ..yeah working calss peopel of this world and can conclude that Saturday and sunday are lucky day among the seven days

Diwali

Diwali - my favorite festival along with Holi..
This Diwali is lot different from all previous ones as Iam a father now.. :)
In response to my son Vibhu's needs, I have decided to use only liht and colour crackers and no sounds... it was very surprising to my family who is habituated to my excessive indulging in bursting crackers...

It is a very good today being with him far most of the time, shooting his activities,responses to the floating candles..
i have spent just 30 min on crackers which is very very less compared to any other Diwali.. and this gave me a chance to introspect how the transition is happening in my life... from a person who burn thousands on crackers creating huge pollution, i became a dutiful,concerned father who stopped creating any noice pollution on Diwlai day..
hope more people will start doing this for ther family,kids and finally for them selves.

happy Diwali

Enjoying Fatherhood

Navya and Vibhu joined me in Hyderabad after Dussera ...its been fun and excitement with each of the activities,expressions of Vibhu... He is 3 months old started rolling around 20 days back ,recognises us and responds to our talk ... with his cooing and smiling...

his smile shaking entire body,quick rolling once you place him on his back and my fav is the look on his face once he rolls and lifts his head ..awesome it is....
I spent a weekend before dussera in sprucing up and decorating the home for Vibhav's arrival...
the doors in the home are now place holders for comics,Vibhu enjoys each of the pictures ,the cars,Winnie the Pooh and yeah his favorite Mickey :)

when ever I take him near to the smiling Micky's ,he gets excited and keeps jumping in joy..
had many friends ,relatives visting and it keeps him and us busy...and happy ..

Financial Freedom

hmmm...interesting topic for almost all of us..and this thought always keeps on lingering at back of my mind...
how can we achieve this...
1) buffetway : invest in companies which pay regular dividends and the amount of dividend keep on increasing
2)obert kiyosaki's way : invest in assets including equity which can give passive income at regular intervals..

both ways talk abt establishing channels of passive income (income generated for you without your effort) and hence you can be free to live the life you want and do things you like to do

being an employed individual, how can I achieve this goal?

by investing in equities which give good dividends ,identifying a min 1000 yards of land in an area which can see huge growth in next 5-6 years and build a residential/commercial property which can be let out and generate you the passive income you need.
onc eyour passive income surpasses your monthly salary or support your life style for near future you are financially free

how good that life will be...hmm depends on your interests and teh company you have in pursuing those interests..
my wish is to have a home built on a min 1500 sq.yd plot with garden and space for all in the family...

the equities(which give regular dividends) i have identified are
castrol india limited
sakthi paper mills
IKF Finance
Indiabulls securities
along with growth stocks Yes Bank,Confidence petrolium

hope these things help me in achieving the goal

its been a long time...

hmmm very long time..almost 1 month and could not spend time on the blogs as i was not having internet access regularly ..yeah thats right..i live in Hyd but still its a problem with internet connection..

what was i doin all these days...
started playing tennis regularly..and its really great fun ..i enjoy the game very much...
happened to got my hands on the book 'Unlimited Power' by Anthony Robbins..and iam happy that i have got this... really a great book which desects each of the actions/reactions on what are the reasons why any one acts like he acted.
this book also gives the steps to change our behavior,reaction to a particular event ,and come out of the limitations of us and achieve higher .
