There is a disturbance in your body,
ripples of restlessness ,
made by a hundred thousand stones,
in a pond of possibility.
there is so much to see,
so much to learn,
so much to think,
in just eye's blink.
its kind of window shopping,
no money with you,
hopping and hopping,
till you turn blue.
think for a second,
what do the stones do,
what happens to the pond,
and what happens to the mind.

How am I into Design?
Design.
What is it? Who is a designer? Who is not a designer?....
There are innumerable questions and there innumerable+1 solutions on the internet.
Design for me is creativity on a purpose.
The creative ideas , your artistic nature , blend into a solution for a purpose.
It is a choice I have made by exploring the various fields that use creativity and do some great stuff for people to use, learn , or simply make their life easy.
I spent lot of months learning about advertising , applied arts however I was introduced to the whole lot of possibilities in Design.
Design is art + science.
From childhood I was interested in exploring artifacts it may be that old radio, or vacuum cleaner. To see whats inside , to see how it works.
Believe me computer machine is amazing. Games, music , softwares etc.
Photoshop was the tool for me to replace "heads" of people , morph images, travel all over the world.
After few years I started writing copy for my visuals to make Ads. Meaningful?
Yeah! Then it got improved and appreciated and a good opportunity changed it all!
www.dzineduo.com (my start up!) and freelance works glued me to advertising and design lately!
Of course there are lot of people behind this, their encouragement and support is the key ingredient without which I would not have discovered my life!
Today I am proud to be in World's Top 30 D-schools (www.nid.edu) and India's No.1 to realize design dreams.
Lets see how it goes!

You are my inspiration for the energy, passion and goodness.
Even the whole world went against you , you were calm and smiling.

For Youngsters in the economic crisis
- This is the right time for young professionals to go on a financial diet, preparing a routine prescription for a healthy life for the times ahead.
- “If you are paying too many EMIs on account of impulsive purchases, foreign tours and housing, first write off the liability breaking your fixed deposits or emptying your savings accounts,”
- total amount of EMIs should not exceed 40 per cent of a two-member family’s net monthly income. In absence of home loan EMI, it must not exceed 20-25 per cent.

Dr.Q
Please read the previous post from Sri before going through this story.
I have read story about Dr.Q in a recent Reader's Digest. It is an epitome for human success just as Obama's or any of the great leaders and businessmen.
At the age of 18 or so he was an illegal entrant into US from the Mexican border.
Making the national currency invalid made this young boy get attracted to US. He started working in a farm plucking tomatoes. But his only dream of learning english and get US citizenship made him go to school. Take part time courses at local college.
His zeal to earn more made him learn extra skills in farming.
Later he could afford his education in Berkely college and his hardwork fetched him good grades too. Mind it , he still used to work in Railways and in Farm.
With an advice from his professor he applied for Harvard Medical and guess what?
In 10 years he could raise from an illiterate farmer to World's best Brain Surgeon treating tumours.
He says " i still pluck red tomatoes through bloody veins and its amazing"
when you see what u want to be in 10 years.... however big...just start now and see how it turns to reality.if you do what you are doing for the next 20 years , u will be the one of the best in the country.

Almost a year gone without post
what the fish... try to blog more frequently monk.
and i like to jot down something on making money and making life.
when everyone is greedy be fearful.. when everyone is fearful be greedy .. by warren bufffet.
i did some 3000$ investment in some US stocks on brink of resession . time will tell how true is mr buffet is.
i always belive in the concept that men tend to overestimate what they can achieve in a year and underestimate what they can do in a decade.
so invest now and invest now ... see what u get in 10 years. i wish my friend in 20's who read this blog do that and i am sure u will thank me one day.
not only investment .. in career also .. when you see what u want to be in 10 years.... however big...just start now and see how it turns to reality.
if you do what you are doing for the next 20 years , u will be the one of the best in the country.
a huge shot in the arm....barack obama presidency ... a black kenyan father and poor mom , poor grandparets..who live on foodstamps in hawai, in a country where he is of minority 10% of population ..... and the 44 th president of america. just see what can happen with perseverence over time. ....imagine what human can acieve with time. no limits.
lets see what we can be in 40 years. I actally remember you asking to respond to your blog....see i am doing a year later....a 100 could have beome 130 meanwhile.time just fly.
