Vijay Dinanath Chauhan....
Two masterpieces, first by Mukul Anand and then by Karan Malhotra. What a poem!
वृक्ष हों भले खड़े,
हो घने, हो बड़े,
एक पत्र छाँव की
मांग मत, मांग मत, मांग मत!
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ!
तू न थकेगा कभी,
तू न थमेगा कभी,
तू न मुड़ेगा कभी,
कर शपथ, कर शपथ, कर शपथ!
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ!
ये महान दृश्य है,
चल रहा मनुष्य है,
अश्रु, श्वेद, रक्त से
लथपत, लथपत, लथपत!
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ!
-स्व. श्री हृवंश्रई "बच्चन" श्रीवास्तव

Meek Submission!
Lions at home; meek rats outside.
Whitewash at England; alright, could be a one-time.
Australia; our performance falling as the matches progress. Second innings, extras was the fifth highest scorer. Last four wickets fell at the same score! Meek submission. Heads need to roll; and this is not knee-jerk. Vindicates my stand, Kapil Dev's team is still the best Indian team so far. They won not in our back-yards to tailor made pitches; but when they were the underdogs. Remember those were the times when cricketers were not yet superstars endorsing brands and playing starry IPLs. But were sportsmen. Here's what I feel should be done:

Remember those were the times when cricketers were not yet superstars endorsing brands and playing starry IPLs. But were sportsmen. Here's what I feel should be done:
- Defunct the IPL; Pup Clarke focuses only on Tests, First Class and ODIs. No T-20s for him.
- Get John Wright back; or have Ganguly as the coach. Even Kirsten. Someone who can lead by example. Kirsten would himself run 9k every morning.
- Remove anyone who takes his place for granted. Sehwag between the England and Oz Series has an average of 15. Dhoni for the same series has an average of 23!
- Get back to basics. 14 wickets in the last 3 innings fell to no leg work or flashes outside off stump.
- Have a player rotation policy. Max X tests; 1.3X ODI; 0.6X T-20s, 0.5X First Class in a year.
Let the carnage continue. Will we have no heads falling?

Characteristics of an Entrepreneurial Mind
A nice article, I found via @GuyKawasaki on Twitter.
But for entrepreneurs who are bringing something new and novel to the marketplace, experimentation can be truly…experimental. Removing expectations and letting the results lead you in completely new directions is the attribute that marks a truly entrepreneurial mind.Read the full article here: http://www.openforum.com/articles/5-essential-characteristics-of-the-entrepreneurial-mind?extlink=em-openf-SBdaily
