29th July...

Hi.

Its 29th of the month today, and Its always an special date for me. Not just because 29th is my birth date but also i have found lots of positivity in this figure. sort of a belief in Numerology. Most of the positive surprises have come to me on 29th of any month. It does not turn my bad work into a success but yes if I am expecting some good return on my deeds it often comes on 29th. One of them is My Salary too.

Well today is a birthday of two special people to me. Good thing is that both of them shares few common qualities.

1.Both are innovative.

2. Both have always gone beyond expectations

3. Both are a bit ahead of respective concurrent time.

One of them is Mr. J R D Tata and the other one is Mr. Bhuvan Gupta. well we all know Mr. Tata and of course some of us definitely know Bhuvan. At least those who know him once can not forget him for a lifetime.

Well I would like to talk about the 3rd quality which I have mentioned above.

Yes Bhuvan is always innovative and Ahead of the time. The difference between a normal innovator and Bhuvan types is that normal innovators think just next to the current times and special ones (Like Him) thinks a little beyond, that is why they go un-understood by others many a times.

Even I had many conflicts on many topics with Bhuvan and his approach or Ideas. But most of the time i realised the worth of his ideas later.

For Example...

1. He started a CD club in our college days, like many i didn't believe in that idea, but now I think how innovative it was. All those who could not utilized it were really unlucky.

2. When he organized "Ankit Fadia" Event. I think some of the time, the kind of Risk appetite and organizing capability he had, almost 7 years back, prior to all management education he has got.

On his birthday today, I just like to wish him success, which was never too far from him and also a future which has a bridge between his ideas and peoples expectations. I am sure its gonna make this world a better place.

Luv
