Three phone calls

I spoke to three people on phone today.
One was my room mate 14 years back. He has started his own venture Artsyindia.com selling fashion stuff specifically chanderi saarees. I was pleased to see his trade web portal. Out of my excitement and in order to learn things about his start up venture, I called him up. He was modest in recognizing me. Unfortunately He was in Bangalore so we could not plan a meeting. Hopefully we'll meet and I'll ask him about various challenges he faced in starting his own venture. Btw his name is also Saurabh Jain. He was my first room mate when I left home after 10th.

Second person was my guide during civil services preparation Shubhra ma'am. She has been the most kind and affectionate mentor to me. My masters in political science is dedicated to her. In fact, some times I feel that I am blessed. I have met so many good people. Be it Pathak sir who called me up to give me feedback on my psycho papers, Vikash Ranjan sir who checked my bundle of essay or Shubhra ma'am who was kind enough to call me after I failed to inquire about well-being.

Anyway, third person was my colleague in AAP, campaign manager Karol Bagh constituency Chandana Sir. He told me that whole team is missing me. Invited me to some event to be held tomorrow. He is a senior bloke who have worked for many decades in Africa as Engineer. His energy level, commitment are inspiring.


Anyway, I am supposed to finish my three articles. Let me make a beginning today by atleast mentioning the topics. Rest I'll fill later

Why to prepare for Civil Service.
How to prepare for Civil Services.
Swachch Bharat

Today again was not very productive. I overslept. But It was not total waste as well. We discussed Economic Survey. Some hardcore economics discussion occurred. I wonder all these high paying consultant in Big firm like Meckenzie, BCG etc. Do they read any of this stuff? Do they even read newspaper length to length on every day basis? What extra special skill do they possess? God knows for what skill companies pay them millions of rupees.


Anyway, signing off for the day. Will make the blogs more productive and informative from tomorrow. Right now, it is more becoming like a diary entry.
Bye
