It might be easily mistaken to be an old epic describing a war,
but it is the truth of our lives and this is the essence of the Gita.

Matsya Avataram
Disaster could surpass the sea's tide limit,
and sink the world, which has forgotten the roots of Dharma.
So, he instruced Satyavratha,
and helped in protecting of the world,
A fish showed the naval direction,
and this is the evidence of time's progress being anchored.

Kurma Avataram
The great duty to be performed was not bearable,
frustration of not getting the desired had been swept.
They tried and impatience,helpless swept through
 the patient turtle defeated the defeat.
This is the secret of the Milky Way

Adhivaraha Avataram
Those insane who created shivers,carried the earth and tried to immerse it into the cosmic seas,
were pierced through his tusks
And he blessed the resolute,
The two-tusked warrior's divine sound, the aadhi-varaha(board) form.

Narasimha Avataram
Where?
Why did your Hari hide? of fear!
Ask him to come out
Can he face me and win? By strengthening?
Ask the land on which you are standing
Ask the life in your pulse
Ask the warmth of your blood
Ask the air in your breath
Ask the sky under your step
Join the man and the hari in you
And show that you are the narahari

Unmattha mathanga bangikathu kakavikathi
Hantru sankrathanee krudanee veedanee jagathi
Ahamu radhamai yethike avanikidhe asali nihathi
Aakatayula nihati anivaryamavu niyathi
Shitha hasthi hatha mastha kaarinaka savakaasiyo...
Kroorasi krosi hruthadaya damstula dosi masi cheya mahitha yagnam

This paragraph is about Hiranyakashyapa. His ego had surpassed limits and he began to question the existence of god.

This is the real death for those who ego becomes a chariot and searches the whole earth
Ignorant fools death can't be avoided, its decided.
This is the mahitha yagnam(mahitha means) to burn the cruel,mercy-less evils to ashes.

Vamana(Trivikrama) Avataram
The universe is Immeasurable,Unexpectable,Clear,Endless
A small form of vishwam is this human form
Our half knowledge mirages it to be a dwarf form
Trivikrama had conquered the three worlds with three steps

Whatever is happening is the lord's divine drama
Whatever is happening is the lord's divine drama

Bhargava(Parashurama) Avataram
Sins had grown as a tree, unbearable for the earth
And didn't let the dharmagyanis grow
The lord had become Parashurama..Bayadha-bheema
He remains as the idol of Dharma's existence
Bhargava is Kshatriya Brahmana(Shrotriya)

Sri Rama Avataram
Devoid of glory, devoid of magic,
In a believable manner, without any secrets,
he was born as a human and he lived as a human.
To remain as a jewel in history of the earth,
is possible, and to prove this the lord came down to the earth as Rama.

Sri Krishna Avataram
These many roles these many characters.
The gnana(knowledge)-darpanam(mirror) to introduce you to yourself,
is only krishnavataram, ever since the origin of this universe.

The Ashta Siddhis and the Viswaroopam in you
Animada,Mahimaga,Garimaga,Lakhimaga,Praptiga
Pragamyavartiga,Eesatvamuga,Vasistvamuga

• Aṇimā: reducing one's body even to the size of an atom
• Mahima: expanding one's body to an infinitely large size
• Garima: becoming infinitely heavy
• Laghima: becoming almost weightless
• Prāpti: having unrestricted access to all places
• Prākāmya: realizing whatever one desires
• Iṣṭva: possessing absolute lordship
• Vaśtva: the power to subjugate all

When you recognize these eight siddhis in you,
You will see viswaroopam in your very own roopam

Lose vision over others(stop bothering about others),
Bow down, join your hand and become the student,
you are your own guru, who will end your curiosity.

I would post word by word meanings soon. Special thanks to Sharath Chandra for help with some tough words.

Entrepreneurship

I was trying to put some thoughts together.But they just didnt appear to fall into the right place, until I had read "The Mind of the Market" by Michael Shermer. There is a chapter on "Don't think evil", the difference between Google and Enron. It talks about the secret of Google success-"work atmosphere" and the reason for Enron's collapse "corruption and internal degradation due to points system".

A business survives strategizes on (i)a share of a huge market (ii) unique selling proposition. We always went after the second one. We believed that we are unique and are doing something to shatter the earth. Our biggest resource was the team, people who wanted to do something different. People driven by passion coming together towards the mission with a well defined vision. Sometimes the goals were a little too abstract and people were not quite content with the output.

Ideas emerge in two ways-revolution and evolution. I had always believed in revolutions. Works get finished smoothly and rather quickly in that mode. However, the aftermath of revolutions is quite nasty. People somehow got into it looking for something and if they don't get what they wanted, it goes horribly wrong. This is because revolutions are always absorbing and people hate that. Hardwork for nothing is definitely painful. Revolutions create great leaders when succesful, but they also defame the guy.


They say "team is beyond the people". We get carried away by this thought, we go in rather too deeply. I would also like to point out that "team emerges from the people". Contingencies shape outcomes in life and people influence the organization. Real success of an organization comes when several brains work on the task in sync, when you empower people. These thoughts made me stop following Indian test team, they day VVS Laxman had got insulted. That's how I value individuals now. Steve Jobs said "Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it."

I remember telling this to few of my friends. The reason we chose you in my team is that you have the skills. I don't buy the idea of rat-race and competition. If someone tells me that I can get a better person. I would tell him that you are our "aadmi" and hence better than the best. Every body is unique and the output is an emergent property and not by individual skills. We want a team of friends not a list of stars. Paper strength is just an illusion.

A Leader is one who reinvents himself from time to time. In these few weeks, I invested my time in studying "people" and "money". They are the pillars of any organization. People, movies,books,ideas reinforced the need to be "nice" to people.

I believe I always had the sincerity and it was only the attitude which created issues. I just wanted to convey my thoughts with you to regain your trust. I would like to be a leader and not a manager. I am interested in innovation and not in business. I am interested in something beyond money and power, in seeing my vision come true. My only aim in life is to follow my heart, learn on the way and do some "good" things along. The confidence and the attitude is what gave me all I have, but it also strains relationships and I believe talking will help amend that.

Dear Dosthulu

Read this, I said. Actually, an SMS said "wl cal u tonite". The call may have been vague too, if at all I did call. So I decided to put this here, something I wanted to tell to two kinds of people.Those who like me and those who hate me, basically those who care.

Some people say I am energetic, some call it over-enthu. What ever it may be, I got into a lot of things. Made lots of friends and some of them admire me, it feels good. I had caused pain to some. That's not nice, isn't it! To add salt to the wounds, the helplessness and the frantic attempts to restore their faith in me. But now I realize, nothing works better than talking, talking face to face.

Transparency and openness are more important than they appear to be. If there is something nice or bad about me, please do tell. You know, I can take insults!(if you don't agree, tell that too). If there is something nice..then too yaar (naaku pogadtalu chaala ishtamga :P). Tell me on the face dude, chalta hain! That's way way better than losing you. Mari antha ledu ani telusugani..edo chepesenu anthe..

If you are planning to say "emaindi bhaiyya" or "em kavali bey". Well this is how my opinion changed.

"Visiting cards, contact numbers never go waste, evadu avasaram epudu padtunde chepalem"
"Be nice, it feels good...Karmani eva Adhikare aste tho full sync animata" 

So stop doubting the intentions now, I can't explain any further. Altruistic feelings coming out you know!

You can't hate me, I know I am not that bad, or am I? I don't see anger in your words, I see caution. Am I am a good guy, not sure! But I know, I irritated you with my attitude. Neetho cheppali ani anipinchindi..Nuvvu great babai..antha ayina ardamcheskunav...(and that's why you cared to read this!). I did learn from your words, just that my internal ego in me didn't let me convey that. I realize it's time to suppress that. Nenu chupali anukunadi dhookudu, kani adi balupu kinda kanipinchi undachu lekapote balupe avachu....odileya mama

Simple, if something is wrong, do tell. It doesn't appear, but I do listen. Consensus and Instinct shape the outcome. Nenu kelakani vadu undadu ani telsuga. Boring kada, but I wanted to write this down for you. Comedy kya, then thats nice..pani ayipoyindiga....punch unte baundediemo... emaina thatinapudu cheptale

My real strength in life are the people and their faith in me. There are two truths from Economics I strongly believe in.

"There is nothing truer than the assertion that there is no free lunch"
"Nations with trust are developed nations and its not that trust emerges in developed nations".

This was for me in you... "Prapancham neelo unnadani cheppey daaka aa nijam telusu kova,Telistey prathee chota ninnu nuvve kalusukoni palakarinchukova..." It took a cost to learn, that manushule shashvatam.....My belief Jagadgurum.. My quest Jaganmaitri


Inka enti....Kummedam ok na ...:) Telusuga manam kicklo RaviTeja typu, ee sad stories tragedies rayatam mana valna kaadu babu...

PS: Language not important, emotion important.

Happy Birthday Krish Jagarlamudi

"I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates"- Steve Jobs

I don't know what I could trade! I seem to owe a lot to this man. Tomorrow(10/11/12) is his 36th birthday. Happy Birthday Krish Jagarlamudi. 24 hours seem too less to celebrate your birthday, and so we fans shall begin the festivities a little earlier!



On Life
"Nenu Prapanchanni Choosanu..Paris..London..Ekkada inta daridram choodaledu;
Prapancham Kadu Pradeshalu Choosavu..
Car Windowslonunchi kadu..
baitiki vachchi choodu prapanchanni.."

I have seen the world. I have not seen this much poverty anywhere.
You have seen places, not the world.
Come out and see the world,  not through the car window.

Fate
"Adhrushtam addam thirigithe aratipandu thinna pannu iruguddhi"
When your fate is bad even a banana can break your teeth.

Caste
"Ee prapanchamlo rende castelu ra.. unnollu lenollu."
In this world, there are two castes, the rich and the poor.

Girl Child
"Aadapilla Batuku Kannillamayam boss. Anduke bhummeeda mudontulu neelle"
Girls' lives are full of tears, thats why three fourth's of earth is covered with water.

Poor People's Lives"Illu kattevadiki illu untundha? choppulu kutte vadiki choppulu untaya? maa brathukulu kuda anthe saaru"
Will a mason have a house? Will a cobbler have shoes? Our lives are also that sir

Money
"Thammudu.. manushulu nakili notlani thayaru chestharu..kani notlu nakili manushulani thayaruchesthayi.."
Brother people create fake notes...but currency also creates fake people"

Fools
"Aambothuki mundhu nadavakudadhu kommuddhi, gadidhaku venaka nadavakudadhu thannuddhi..nee lanti vedavalaku yeh vaipu nadavakudadhu."
Don't walk infront of a bull, it will attack. Don't walk behind a donkey, it will kick. Don't walk with a fool.



He taught me a great lesson in life. Sharwanand tells naxalites, "I am filthy rich and I couldn't see the world. I thought life was about me. So are you! You have guns and hence power and you can't see the world. Come out and see the world."

Pride is one of the most dangerous things, it makes you too self-obsessed. See the world and realize that Life is Beautiful! Thank you Krish :)
