Please expedite Parking allotment papers and Swimming pool..

Dear Tejas (Neelkanth Builder),

Its been really long (more than 30 months) that we have occupied the flats in Neelkanth Palms, and also paid for the parking. We are still to receive the allotment letters from you for the parking....

Reference the swimming pool, you had promised to start the same some 12 months back... and we are still waiting ...

There are many other issues like water, boundary, etc...

Its already been so long ... And such issues from a builder with status like your (Neelkanth Group) is not expected.

Please have them fixed/executed ASAP.

Regards,

- Krishna

Many thanks to the Cultural Committee @ Neelkanth Palm

It was a very well planned and executed !

Thanks & Regards,

Have a blessed, garbage-free day! & Have a Wonderful day ahead

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the left lane when suddenly a green car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!

The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Garbage Truck Principle'.

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Convenience Vs. Commercial

For the last two years lot of discussions and debates going within the society as to commercial activities can’t be allowed inside the residential complex. In principle this is a valid point. But we need to use this principle with some amount of common sense taking the convenience of residents into account.

If we blindly enforce this principle, at the end only we will be suffering from it.

We should list down the extra-curricular activities for kids and allow the instructors to impart training inside the complex. This will save lot of people's time, energy and money. [Simple economics - if 100 residents send their kids for classes outside and spend Rs.40 per day for commuting, for 20 days in a month, 40x20x100=80,000 - it whooping 80K - we can save this by having classes organized within the society]

Earlier occasion we didn’t allow instructor to hold dance classes and chess classes inside the complex. But everyone enjoyed the dance performance of kids in the Ganesh festive.

Similarly we were opposing strongly for allowing vegetable vendor inside the complex. But when one stall was put up, every one found that to be convenient and used it. Suddenly now, somebody has decided to ban that also! This will be a big inconvenience to ladies especially.

When we oppose the activities which are really beneficial to members of the society, it was surprising to see one day - someone had put up a shop of dress materials in the stilt parking area. Wonder is that not commercial activity? This kind of commercial activity in open space should be discouraged. But not the first two type of activities.

By making this statement I'm neither deciding things on behalf of others nor forcing on others.

Just saying, lets come together to make our own lives simple and better.

India Shining ?

Hello my Brothers and Sisters of India,

I choose to address this way, taking the cue from Swami Vivekananda.

As as sincere and honest tax paying citizen of India, like everyone else I expect a decent standard of living. Even though over a period of last 10 years, quite a few things have really improved, still we have a LONG way to go!

We have seen in lot movies, heard in lot of discussions among our friends groups, time and again about the corruption level, poor infrastructure, bad treatment at government offices, harassment by government officials, etc, etc.

Now how do we tackle this?
We need one more revolution to happen in India.......

Look back at the History...
Everyone would have learnt about ....
Green revolution
Industrial revolution

Now its time ... for all of us to get together and sow the seeds for one more revolution. I dont know what we name it but i'm sure, we need to ACT NOW, so that at least our next generation has a better place to live.

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

The ultimate aim of human being is to be HAPPY

As simple as this may seem but it is still not uncommon to find people losing sleep over issues like jobs, package, status et al. Not that they are unimportant but one should understand that these are to facilitate your being happy and are nothing more than that. No one can be happy by just being rich or being at the most influential position. Trust me, had this been the case life would have been much simpler, just chase that ONE thing and there you go. As the most intelligent species God expects us to do more than chase for just ONE thing.

Recall the last time when you thought that if I would get this ONE thing I would need nothing more. Has it happened to you that you felt that this job, this girl or boy, this prize is THE thing I have been waiting for, and it would bring in all the happiness? Now as you have survived that, having got it or not got it; does it still continue to make any difference? If you have got that has it stopped you to crave for more and if you could not get it has the world ceased to exist?

These all may seem simple to you but despite the fact that we know it don’t we forget it at just the right time :) So next time before you get worried or tensed, just think if it would be worth all your agony six months or one year down the line. May be not… and we all will realise that the ultimate aim of human being is to be HAPPY.
