Vote me!!!

With election fever reaching its peak, Sankalp Shere is also preparing to try his luck in elections. Let us see what he has got...

1. I am not affiliated with any political party, so I have nobody to fight inside my party :)
(Actually I went to many parties, but now a days "rates" are too high. :( )
2. Also, I have not split from any party, so I won't waste my time in abusing my X-mates.
3. I am not coming to you with same old promises. (I have taken the best out of everybody's promise bag ;) )
4. I have no criminal record. (I'm not able to figure out whether this is my USP or weak point :D )
5. I will give you bright future. ( ambiguity always helps ;) )
6. I will provide 24 hours water (applicable in rainy season only :P),
7. I will eradicate poor.... oh sorry, poverty.
8. In my rule, everybody from my ward will get job. (When I'll make money I'll need somebody to serve me :P)
9. I will eliminate crime from my ward. (There will be monopoly. My monopoly .. hahahahha)
10. I have not failed to deliver any of my previous promises. ( Beginner's advantage :D )
11. I have been very *active* in social service and politics. (I broke 4 gift shops on valentine day. Also, I brought entire Churchgate- Borivali local train to halt during recent bandh.)
12. I won't come back, if I fail to deliver my promises. (Whether I failed or not will be decided by me though ;) )

Wow!!! Looks like Sankalpbhai has got something. You should vote for him.


P.S. : On serious note, Voting is very basic and really important right given to us by democracy. If we don't vote, we lose moral right to complain against those elected.
Don't vote for the sake of voting.
Don't vote a person / party because your dad, grandpa voted for him/it.
Make sure you vote for the right person. Voting wrong person is worse than not voting.

Ok here I stop preaching. I remember that I have to go to exercise my right to vote.

The difference

Company: Google.
Formed: 8 years ago.
Employees: 6000.
Net worth: $128.36 billion.

Company: Infosys.
Formed: 25 years ago.
Employees: 53000
Net worth: $ 28.95 billion

Google's might is in its innovations. Every now and then we hear and see something "happening" at Google. And Infosys is an Indian star in service sector. It has perfectly caught the nerve of Indian job market. The increasing number of college graduates , knowledge of English makes us perfect destination for service sector jobs.

But, if we really want to be a super-power we need something more. We need something of our own. We need entrepreneurs. We need our innovations. Somebody has rightly said, "If we are to become a super-power, we only need 100 successful entrepreneurs."

And that made all the difference

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler,
long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and
wanted wear Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads onto way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

-Robert Frost(1916)

May God make your year a happy one!

Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;

Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;

Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;

Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;

Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,
and by making you anxious to be there to help.

God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you and your family for the year ahead.
