Death isn’t a destination
Recently, when I attended two funerals. I have seen many of my relatives who attended it just present because of ritual compulsion. If they weren’t compelled by religious rituals, most of them would have skipped the occasion. My main point here is “Nobody cares Nobody”.
Then, what exactly is life? The simplest form of living life is “Living for yourself”. Few people call it as objectivism, few call it as selfishness, for few it is an ideology or for few others, they even don't know what it is.
95% of today's generation join graduation just because some has said them to join. Let's say an ECE student reads ECE, without even knowing what he can do with that 4-years of knowledge. He can build communication, make a phone or create a TV-set which he himself isn’t aware of. As he is programmed by the society that the main motive of doing a job is to earn.
Whenever I visit a family function, the introduction style has been changed. In olden days it used to be “This is Mr.X, he is your mama or This Ms Y she is the daughter of someone. But now it's just different “This is Mr.X Bangalore Salary 70,000 or This Ms Y Chennai 1 lac per annum”. The packages of them are giving identity than their personalities.
I was with the same mindset when I joined my first job. All I did was take some instructions and work on it. That means I am working for someone who is building his idea through us, which indicates that my mind is taking the instructions of some other person’s mind, in which my mind doesn't have any thinking or decision making role. Soon, I realized this is not what I exactly wanted to do. I just want my mind to take decisions and work on something which gives me satisfaction and when I did that, this happened
This was the first instance of my life, where I am not recognized by my salary or the company where I work. But in contrast, it's my name which is giving recognition to my company and my work. Believe me, when your name is a brand it gives you the best benefits than your name when it is tagged with a branded company for Salary/perks/benefits.
Did any of my relatives care about the above article? definitely not, Why 95% per cent of them never read newspaper nor they know about building a product nor they care about my life. Even if I die, I clearly know 80% of them won't attend my funeral because they don't give a fuck about me. The only person who cares about me is myself.
And when again created my next product and which re-created the magic, this happened
I got disconnected from the few terms like Money and Fame for which people thrive. Just because you don't excite much, once you earn that first three lakhs. You don't care about fame, once you have a cover story at the age of 24. All you want to do is to follow your brain and live every day as you want.
Then, how I am recognized now? In the process of creating products. I also inspired people who inturn created companies which are running successfully now. It may be APFAGO LLP at Hyderabad, Jaketa Pvt ltd at Bangalore or DDA in Madanapalle. Which are creating a huge impact in the ecosystem and thus enhancing the real brand of my name.
And what I am doing currently, I am exploring the new hidden talents of mine, which I believe I possess and experimenting with them which can take me up through the social strata. I may fail in this journey or I may win. But believe me, when I die I won't worry about my death because I took this life to live, as I wish to live and I have done 70% of it.
