Its not enough to say "We need the change". Its worth to say "We are the change".How do you carry grocery?.You take xerox of your notes or books and how do you carry it?.... If the answer to all the questions is plastic then we youth should feel ashamed.Could you believe on an average 1 million plastic bags are used per minute around the world and 500 billion annually.We useless literates always preach and dont practise.Why dont you use paper bags my fellows.Plastic cover can be green but it can make our future dark.Hoardings shout "Say no to plastic".But the force got a short life.. This is the situation in India.What we did as a youth,as an Indian ?? ..writing blogs .. useless blogs ... chatting around here .. getting ranks ??... we can make a difference.If not in the whole country,atleast to urself.Stop using plastic bags.Use paper covers for carrying your books,xerox papers,groceries and everything.Put yourself a rule and stick to it as i do.Be a change rather than expecting a change to come.Sometimes blogs can make a difference.I am sorry to say it as useless.Its out of agony.I started blogging to shout at indian youth.To call them for a movement.To create a change.I know we can but what we people do,higher studies,jobs and sit at home .... come guys lets join hands... i am not calling you guys to start a war .. a mission ...start using paper bags..if you dont find create one and use it.Preach it to your sons,daughters,their sons,their daughters.Atleast your society would use paper.Atleast they can make India greener.Lets make the title a history.Jai hind!!!
As i always say young fellows like us must always opt for unorthodox things.Forget IT,it has no scope in mere future.What about higher studies?? .. yeah it has some scope.But not technical,as companies are not ready to take people even at MS caliber.A friend of mine went to NUS singapore and pursued his MS.Although he is the topper in his class,he didnt get job for nearly 6 months.Afetr his father's recommendation he got a job in his father's friend company for a salary of 1500 singapore $.This is too low considering a usuaul pay for MS students is around 5000$.So its time to think unique.Start a firm.Let your investment be as low as possible.Like this guy.This tory would be so inspirational to all fellows like us.
The story of Burger Man,Chennai is really motivating.Sunil Cherian,an MBA graduate started this small business in chennai.Although chennai is not famous for burgers,he took a gamble and started this business.He was rejected the franchise for KFC and this made him start his own business,Burger Man.He started the business 18 months before and rest is history.Initially he did not earn anything.he struggled to get popularity and now people come in search of him.He hosts in corporate parties,school functions.His famous tag line for grabbing corporate functions "give me your waste space.I would make it profitable".Thats the confidence of this young entrepreneur.All he needs is a 25Sq.ft setup.His family supported him and thus he made justice to his dreams.His words to young entrepreneurs "Believe in the potential of your dream and market it well".Sunil claims that his burger is cholestrol free as it is tawa made and uses minimum oil.The price range is 30 for Veg and 40 for non -veg

Jus want to chill out from the entrepreneur world.... A story of my friend best friend shyam ...
Life went like a family ice cream pack, full of cream much sweeter than anything in our college days.we used to bunk classes and go to ground and smoke ... although smoking is not allowed n our campus.shyam used to bring 3 cigars and rahul and I used to share with him.... It was a gret feeling .. when we smoke we used to forget everything ... mind used to relax a... its a different feeling and only people who smoke can feel it .. lide went well ... been from the same school we moved with each other well .. shyam and i were from same class and so were so close ... but this cigar hour everyday made rahul closer to us ... As we moved to second year our subject difficulty also increased ... so our relaxing hour ... it gave us immense pleasure .. and our chit chat for that hour was priceless ... we used to comment on everybosy ... mock at our proffessors ... especially on Mr.Ram our Machine design lecturer .. one cannot forget those happy hours ...after all these mischievous we used to score 70% .. although we have some book worms scoring 90% ..70 was great for us considering the fact that we bunk classes ... oh yesh after all these we had our last day farewell .. and i couldnt believe life went so fast .. we three musketeers went to our favourite place and decided to have a last fag ... we spoke everything what we had for these 4 years ...
We were about to leave and i said " guys,its high time now ... " .. they dint understand and shyam asked me " Whats the matter dude?? " ... " Shayam dont you think we are going above the stipulated limits??? .. i mean smoking .. we almost smoke a packet everyday ... hmmm .. its the last day and why dont we take a resolution like to quit smoking" ... shyam burst into laughter ... and so as rahul ... but i could see rahul was giving a second thought ... shyam thought i was joking and dintsay any word and started to leave .. i held his shoulders and said "hey tell me an answer" ... he said " its off topic" ... i was so annoyed and we left the place where we stayed often ...
Life went well after that ... we joined a mechanical firm ... shayam's father was a big shot and so we got same firm with his influence ... work pressure was so high.I kept my word and i din touch cigar from then ... daily we used to meet 3 times at a tea shop ...due to our work we hardly meet ... when we meet shyam used to fag but rahul and I didnt ... we quit it way before ... One day we were asked to stay back at office since we had auditing the next day...that was external auditing and we have to set everything perfect ... it was 2 AM and we thought we have to chill out ... we went out and the climate was so cold ... shyam immediatly took one cigar and lighted it ... i said " Shyam please .. could you stop this idiotic habit? ... " he said " Anand,please dont compel me in this" .. I said " This would kill you shyam .. this is not good for your health" he didnt listen to my words and he continued his nasty habit ... i didnt like to stay there and so i left that place and suddenly rahul shouted "Anand !!! Anand !!! " .. i ran and found shyam fainted ..
We rushed to nearby hospital and we admitted shyam ... i was so worried ... i wished what ever i told him should not happen ... doctor came out and i rushed to him ... he was very sad and i asked him " Doc , what happen to shyam? " ... he said " calm Mr.Anand, shyam is suffering from the highest stage of lung cancer.He should have been here atleast before 10 months " ... i was shattered .. i felt as though a big pin pricked my heart ... i cried like anything when he said this ...i din even sleep that night .. i informed his parents .. his mom rushed to hospital ... it was a havoc seen there .. shyam's father did not turn up as he was busy with his business ... his business was his first son ... i know i am goin to lose my friend ... my dearest friemd ... all because of this bloody habit he had ... damm smoking ... shyam killed himself .. and so many lakh of youth ..
shyam left me 4 months after that .. In these 4 months he always used to tell me " i made a mistake.. a blunder ... i should have given light to your words and now i am an example to all those who smoke".yes he was an example for many people who smoke.An habit which started to be a fashion statement killed his life ... there are people who smoke and live for 50 years ... but there are also people like shyam ... why take chances ... live life happily ...
Guys .. please quit smoking ... before its takes a toll ...
Are you an artist??... if the answer is NO then do not worry.You can still start up an art business.This is one of the less investment business.There are thousands of artists in India looking for a start up in their career.Why not be a ladder for their life.We have seen many artists painting on the walls of indian streets.They paint for our useless politicians,their party.Why not get them and use their priceless talent for a good cause.Go to art schools and get students who are interested in selling their art.
What is the investment?? .... well all you need is a room with good interiors.Either you can own one and make it a permanent spot for all your auctions or rent it or few hours.Man power??? not necessary.Wear your formal shirt and blazers and you are the auctioneer.Make a profit of 30% for each art sold and thats it.Initially it would be hard for you to get artists and put up show.Your main investment lies in the advertisement and a party for all visitors ( for crowd pulling ).A business tip would be calling celebrity to start the show.You can also do online bidding or get the art and put up in ebay.A certificate mentioning the date of drawing and the gallery owner's authorization is required.Decide the resale value of the art at the time of auction.Donot invest on fake art.Starting up a website of yours posting the art shows would be a future plan.Indian artists are in great demand abroad.So plan your venue accordingly.
I stay at chennai and near my house we have a photo studio.The owner and his group of frens joined hands to start up this art show.Although they did not have any room to hold auctions,they diaplyed in their studio.Whenever people come to get their photos,he asked them to have a look at their art.He held up an interesting offer that those who buy an art would get their protray for free!!! .. guess what he got nearly 5000 for each art piece.I enquired him and got an info that his investment for each piece is 1000 and he gets 500% profit for each.
So guys Art Auction is a good option to start,but conditions apply*.
Investment Cost - 4000$ ( rental,advertising,refreshements )
Future enhancements - A general auction firm seliing Art,fashion dresses
Profit - 50% on ach piece.
Rating - 7/10

5 out of 10 new entrepreneurs fail.Why ?.The two main reason for that is people start their business just because they want to start it.People are not well planned and the new faces often ends up in pressure and they quit.be sure what you start and do not start it for the sake of your friends.For any business to be a hit one needs to prepare a business plan first.Experts say that one needs to have 6 months expenses and investements in hand at the start up.We need to predict the sales before and plan.So always live with ur dreams.As Dr.APJ.Abdul Kalam said" A dream is not the one that makes you sleep but the one that makes you not to sleep".
