Eternal Sunshine Of Asia

Once a wise man said,

Always face the sunshine,

Shadows shall fall behind,

I asked what if Sun- gods get gobbled up mighty black clouds ?

The Wise man replied,

Face the East,

Is what you could do the least,

I am sure one day following my wise words,

You will have a feast,

Oriental is the flavor of this Century,

Shall remain the same for eternity,

Occidental was meagerly accidental,

Which led to the Global Catastrophe!

Now is time to make amends for humanity!

IPL India’s Virtual Casino to be listed…But who’s licking fingers?.....
It is a billion dollar baby, with a Made in India Tag encrypted on it, according to Brand Finance a UK based brand valuation consultancy IPL event is roughly worth a whopping $2bn, the standalone value of IPL brand is roughly about $311 million. The franchises are going gaga over listing on the bourses; you just might see a KKR listed at BSE hitting an upper circuit on Dada’s century.
Let us check out how the business of IPL works, the main sources of revenue for IPL is broadly divided into 4 main categories viz.
1.Central Revenues :-

•Title Sponsorship of event

•Licensed Merchandised
2.Media Rights


•$1.9 Billion for 10 years

3.Money raised by Franchises :-

•Selling advertisement for stadia

•Licensing products

•Merchandise sale

•Advertising on Tickets

•Gate Money

4.Franchise Bid Money


So how much a franchise earns is the next question comes to our mind…..
The table clearly shows the franchise has a lions share of the pie. So it seems a great preposition to get listed.

Sounds very interesting, but I have my reservations to the idea of getting an IPL franchise listed, and I have reasons for the same, yes one can always argue and talk about success scripted by the Football clubs listed in Europe. But how many football clubs remain to be listed is a question that we must ask, even the few that still proudly claim to be part of the W street have moved out to bourses with less stringent norms.
The biggest road block I believe in getting an IPL team listed are:

1.Lack of visibility of winning a tournament despite battery of Superstars in the team.

2.Sale of Merchandise is totally depended on team doing well (In Indian scenario as the clubs
don’t enjoy fanatic support unlike their counterparts in EPL, so fans tend to disown teams that do badly.)
3.Listing means raising capital, there should be clear reason to raise capital

4.Lack of creation of real assets. (As of now none of the Franchise owns a cricket stadium.)

5.Higher disclosure norms of the bourses.

6.Year on year growth expected by investors, which is difficult to provide.

7.More International fixtures stop’s IPL from being more than just one month affair.

There is a difference between the Cup and the Lip… which might seem to prevail in this case….

Love Your Work!

Real motivation comes from within, real drive comes from within we always try to derive inspiration from others, we read success stories, all of us love a story of an outright underdog who pushes himself to glory.
The key for success actually lies within you, and it’s the journey and not the destination that is more important. “We all are looser in some way or the other”, is what one friend of mine use to say always, he was of the belief the coolest guy in the college is a looser at something or the other and that’s what pushes him to be cool. A nerd pushes himself towards books because he believes , books are the only thing that will make him successful, so is it fear what helps us to push ourselves, fear , fear of failure , fear of not being popular, fear plays a crucial role in motivating us.
Wait a minute is it right, should fear motivate me? Or passion motivates me?
I leave this question to you, but if one thing for sure if fear does motivate you, you don’t enjoy things, you don’t enjoy the journey called life, whatever you are is just because of that two letter word ‘what if?’
Man is a social animal, and trusts me you hate it or love it, deny it or accept it we have herd mentality, if someone says something is good and you just accept it “ hey is that good, good for me?” this is a question we seldom ask. To cite an example I don’t have to go too far away in my b-school every Tom Dick, Harry and Sally wants to be either an Investment Banker or wants to be an Equity Analyst. Without even knowing what it is all about?
It’s Innovation that liberates and not imitation, I came across another sect of people, who sincerely believe success is a function of GPA, and there is this elite class of people who walks with their head held high and are immortals in the campus. If we have to run a regression equation its simple one depended variable is their academics, on which their life depends. And these immortals also include list of people who have worked over the years in corporate, but I don’t blame them since they have been groomed in the similar environment. Then there is a breed of people like me who totally believe that formal education and set patterns can upset you, as you are caught up in Shackles’ which you can never really break, and stops you indulging in innovation. By saying that I am not advocating my beliefs and saying there should be no diligence and there should exist complete chaos. No method to the madness is must, but let’s has madness at the first place; I always say that there is a pleasure in being mad, pleasure which few big mad men know. And Madness stems from passion, passion to learn perform and innovate.
Coming back to drive and motivation I believe that one should do whatever he or she loves to do,” it’s easy to say that, stakes are high, I got liabilities up my sleeves and for me money is the key”, I totally agree but I propose a hypothesis that , hey if you are not good at something and if you don’t do something with passion you will never outperform in that field, in that job, rather you join a field which you love and are passionate about, your success probability increases. Myopia is a shortcut to disaster.

Illusive Gold

I don't understand why people don't live each moment of their lives?
...they are never happy, they always crave for something and after getting their or getting that, they are not satisfied.
Life is that tunnel through which no one has escaped alive, if that's the case why we are unhappy?

One can argue if you are satisfied you will become stagnant, will not grow, yes desire and growth go hand in hand and i have no issues with that but after reaching their are we satisfied?

A gymnast pushes hard to get the Gold, once he gets their he feels he is unhappy because someone else has a better record and i should beat it, he himself invites dissatisfaction from life as he is living dogma(life on others expectations).

Don't get me wrong here i am not advocating that fact that one should not push for the gold the next time, i am saying why have attachment , if you fail in the process, fear of failure comes from attachment. You must learn to let go, we cant press the sand to hard in our palms, we know its gonna slip.

I believe in living in each moments , as their are no ordinary moments, their is always something going on, live in that moment, past is history don't it be a baggage or a advantage for you, its just past, don't think of future as your process of thinking about it wont change it. Just live in present and join each dot (moment);which on integrating(Engineer inside me cant Die) will give you the future.
