Robin Sharma - Lessons from 2015

#1. Ambition is only a dirty word if it's an unclean ambition. Human beings are built to grow and progress. You are meant to shine. 

#2. As you rise in authentic power, craft and impact, some will throw rocks at you. Take the High Road. And trust that the truth always wins. 

#3. You can pursue shiny distractions. Or you can do epic work. You just don't get to do both. 

#4. A rare-air dream requires an explosively great team. The smartest way to grow a company is to develop your people. 

#5. Generosity is the cure for scarcity. Be the most giving person in every room you're in and life will reward you with uncommon blessings. Remember: doing good in expectation of some return is no gift--it's an exchange. 

#6. Why worry about a disrupted economy when you can build your own economy via the pursuit of mastery. 

#7. Happy people make happy leaders--which create happy teams. So work on your happiness. 

#8. A smile to a stranger is a gift of vast proportions. 

#9. Creativity breeds amid solitude versus noise. 

#10. If world-class was easy, everyone would be doing it. 

#11. A monumental vision means, en route to the summit, you're certain to experience monumental hurts. That's just the price of bravery. Stay in the game. Longer than any naysayers suggest you should. 

#12. Being on time is hip. Keeping your promises is cool. Having good manners is in. 

#13. Optimism is a gorgeous contagion. 

#14. Busy isn't productivity. Fake work isn't real work. Fight for focus. And execute on what counts. 

#15. Love is the antidote to fear.

‘The next billion YouTube users are going to come from India:’ Ajay Vidyasagar

MUMBAI: Even as Google CEO Sundar Pichai prepares for his India trip with a mandate to outline the company’s vision for the new smartphone users in the country later this month, YouTube has trained its eyes on India in a big way. With a global community of over one billion people that gives anyone the power to create something that everyone can watch, YouTube APAC director of partnerships Ajay Vidyasagar is of the opinion that the next billion users of a platform like YouTube are going to come from a market like India.

Citing Pichai’s example, Vidyasagar adds, “Senior leaders at Google are very excited about India. India is one of our most valuable opportunities in the world. YouTube is already a mainstream platform in the country. The next billion users of a platform like YouTube are going to come from a market like India.”
As a definitive step towards its vision for YouTube’s growth in India for churning out original local content, the company has launched YouTube Space Mumbai - the destination for web content creators and aspiring YouTube stars. YouTube Space Mumbai is India’s first and the world’s 8th YouTube Space.

When asked what influenced the company’s decision to set up YouTube Space in India, Vidyasagar points out a few important stats. “While the year on year growth for YouTube globally is 60 per cent, in India the growth in watch-time has been a whopping 80 per cent. Needless to say India is a very important growing market for us. YouTube Space Mumbai is just one of the many initiatives the company has in store for the country.”
Not just as a country of viewers, but as content creators too India has seen a steep rise. “There has been a growth of 90 per cent year on year, when it comes to uploading videos to YouTube in India. So getting Spaces to further empower the creators in the country was the obvious next step,” Vidyasagar informs.
Moreover, YouTube users in India have also made an exponential shift on mobile devices to watch videos. “This year we saw 55 per cent of the total viewership on YouTube in India coming from mobile devices alone. It’s the first quarter when mobile device viewership eclipsed desktops.”

When asked what this means in a country where mobile marketing is just setting up a roadmap unlike a developed market like China, and how it can impact a YouTube content creator's revenue, Vidyasagar says, “Our way of looking at mobile or desktop viewership is fundamentally ‘bought and sold’ on a promise of a video view, which is pretty much the same thing on any device. Therefore monetisation isn’t a challenge, even if the device changes. We actually have figures to show now that monetisation is pretty much the same in all devices."
Further explaining the monetisation process in YouTube and how the platform gives advertisers a plethora of choices, Vidyasagar shares, “Our advertising team sells reserve advertisements and auction advertisement inventory. The skippable ads that you see are part of a suite that we offer in auction advertising. What ad will be placed on the channel is not decided by the creator but by the buyer of the advertising space. As an advertiser you can choose to buy from the reserve, which means to buy an ad in a specific channel at certain time in a certain volume. And you pay for specific price. But in an auction, you actually bid for an ad to be placed on the platform. So it is not creator led but advertiser led; we give the advertisers a lot of choice in the process.”
A veteran in broadcast media from his earlier stints at Star TV and Sun TV, Vidyasagar shares how differently a VOD platform such as YouTube functions.

“When I came to Google, I really thought YouTube is going to be a lot similar to television and very quickly I realised how wrong I was. In a lot of ways, television is a one way communication. You expect the audience to come at a certain hour to a certain television station and then go away. Everything about television is very different in terms of consumption and engagement from a platform like YouTube. Interactivity amongst creators is what drives YouTube and its community at heart. The single biggest difference for me has been realising the power of how creating, sharing and commenting plays such a big role in what was originally a one way communication,” he offers.
Comparing the television medium to online, Vidyasagar says that in his stint with television, it was mainly the opinion of a handful of decision making people that was more often than not reflected in shows. “On television, we got a very filtered version of what people thought about the content. But when content goes out on YouTube, I have a pretty strong idea of what people actually think about it. This makes you very responsible over what you put out there as a content,” he says.
That said, both YouTube Spaces global head Lance Podell and Vidyasagar stress the need to get more and more Indians be active on YouTube. While infrastructure and lack of uniform access of internet through the country, specially in Tier II and III cities remains a challenge, the duo is happy to inform that their previous marketing initiative YouTube Offline, which was first introduced to India, has borne fruit and shown a 500 per cent growth in usage across the country. Additionally, a slew of services are being thought of to pull in more users to the platform, Vidyasagar informs.
With an aim to attract tens of thousands of fully functional content creators who can add to the YouTube community and also inspire others, the 4G wave in the country will only add an impetus to facilitate the video network’s plans in India.

Bhagavad Gita Jayanti

Today is Bhagavad Gita Jayanti. Which means today is the day when Bhagvad Gita was spoken by Lord Shri Krishna to his very first deciple in the form of human i.e. Arjun. Tomorrow Bhagavad Gita will complete 5151 years. 

🔹Few facts of Bhagavad Gita please read :
🚩What is the Bhagavad-Gita?

The Bhagavad-Gita is the eternal message of spiritual wisdom from ancient India. The word Gita means song and the word Bhagavad means God, often the Bhagavad-Gita is called the Song of God.

🚩Why is the Bhagavad-Gita called a song if it is spoken?

Because its rhyming meter is so beautifully harmonic and melodious when spoken perfectly.

🚩What is the name of this rhyming meter?

It is called Anustup and contains 32 syllables in each verse.

🚩Who originally spoke the Bhagavad-Gita?

Lord Krishna originally spoke the Bhagavad-Gita.

🚩Where was the Bhagavad-Gita originally spoken?

In India at the holy land of Kuruksetra.

🚩Why is the land of Kuruksetra so holy?

Because of benedictions given to King Kuru by Brahma that anyone dying in Kuruksetra while performing penance or while fighting in battle will be promoted directly to the heavenly planets.

🚩Where is the Bhagavad-Gita to be found?

In the monumental, historical epic Mahabharata written by Vedavyasa.

🚩What is the historical epic Mahabharta?

The Mahabharata is the most voluminous book the world has ever known. The Mahabharata covers the history of the earth from the time of creation in relation to India. Composed in 100,000 rhyming quatrain couplets the Mahabharata is seven times the size of the Illiad written by Homer.

🚩Who is Vedavyasa?

Vedavyasa is the divine saint and incarnation who authored the Srimad Bhagavatam, Vedanta Sutra, the 108 Puranas, composed and divided the Vedas into the Rik, Yajur, Artharva and Sama Vedas, and wrote the the great historical treatise Mahabharata known as the fifth Veda. His full name is Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa and he was the son of sage Parasara and mother Satyavati.

🚩Why is the Mahabharata known as the fifth Veda?

Because it is revealed in the Vedic scripture Bhavisya Purana III.VII.II that the fifth Veda written by Vedavyasa is called the Mahabharata.

🚩What are the special characteristics of the Mahabharata?

The Mahabharata has no restrictions of qualification as to who can hear it or read it. Everyone regardless of caste or social position may hear or read it at any time. Vedavyasa wrote it with the view not to exclude all the people in the worlds who are outside of the Vedic culture. He himself has explained that the Mahabharata contains the essence of all the purports of the Vedas. This we see is true and it is also written in a very intriguing and dramatically narrative form.

🚩What about the Aryan invasion theory being the source of the Bhagavad-Gita?

The Aryan invasion theory has been proven in the 1990s not to have a shred of truth in it. Indologists the world over have realized that the Aryans are the Hindus themselves.

🚩What is the size of the Bhagavad-Gita?

The Bhagavad-Gita is composed of 700 Sanskrit verses contained within 18 chapters, divided into three sections each consisting of six chapters. They are Karma Yoga the yoga of actions. Bhakti Yoga the yoga of devotion and Jnana Yoga the yoga of knowledge.

🚩When was the Bhagavad-Gita spoken?

The Mahabharata confirms that Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-Gita to Arjuna at the Battle of Kuruksetra in 3137 B.C.. According to specific astrological references in the Vedic scriptures, the year 3102 B.C. is the beginning of kali yuga which began 35 years after the battle 5000 years ago. If calculated accurately it goes to 5151years from today.

🚩What is the opinion of western scholars from ancient times?

According to the writings of both the Greek and the Romans such as Pliny, Arrian and Solinus as well as Megastathanes who wrote a history of ancient India and who was present as an eyewitness when Alexander the Great arrived in India in 326 B.C. was that before him were 154 kings who ruled back to 6777 B.C. This also follows the Vedic understanding.

🚩When was the Bhagavad-Gita first translated into English?

The first English edition of the Bhagavad-Gita was in 1785 by Charles Wilkins in London, England. This was only 174 years after the translation of the King James Bible in 1611.

🚩Was the Bhagavad-Gita also translated into other languages?

Yes. The Bhagavad-Gita was translated into Latin in 1823 by Schlegel. It was translated into German in 1826 by Von Humbolt. It was translated into French in 1846 by Lassens and it was translated into Greek in 1848 by Galanos to mention but a few.

🚩What was the original language of the Bhagavad-Gita?

The original language of the Bhagavad-Gita was classical Sanskrit from India.

🚩Why is Srimad often written before the Bhagavad-Gita?
The word Srimad is a title of great respect. This is given because the Bhagavad-Gita reveals the essence of all spiritual knowledge.

🚩Is history aware of the greatness of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita?

Historically many very extraordinary people such as Albert Einsten, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Herman Hesse, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Aldous Huxley, Rudolph Steiner and Nikola Tesla to name but a few have read Srimad Bhagavad-Gita and were inspired by its timeless wisdom.

🚩What can be learned by the study of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita?

Accurate, fundamental knowledge about God, the ultimate truth, creation, birth and death, the results of actions, the eternal soul, liberation and the purpose as well as the goal of human existence.

Imran Khan who was praised by PM @NarendraModi for creating 52 educational apps for free, declines Govt job offer.

Imran Khan the Mathematics Teacher PM Narendra Modi Talked In London

Friday night was a memorable night for a Maths teacher, Imran Khan who lives with his family in Alwar. Just after midnight, he was awake by a call on his cell phone, due to bad network in the locality of Laxmi Nagar, he came out of his house to take the call from an old friend.

What his friend told him was something that this 37 year old man can’t even think of in his dreams, his friend said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned you in his speech while addressing Indian diaspora at Wembley in UK a few minutes ago.” He got three missed calls during the conversation with his friend.

After finishing the phone calls, Imran switched on his laptop and listened to the PM Modi’s complete speech on YouTube, just as he finished watching the video, his friends and well-wishers came to congratulate him. A teacher was acknowledged by the Prime Minister of the country for his contribution in the field of education and it is something which rarely happens in India. The Maths teacher whose Apps helped the students of remote areas in getting educated, is a celebrity now.

When Imran Khan woke up on Saturday, he saw that vans of three news channels are waiting for him outside his house. He was congratulated by the Ravi Shankar Prasad, Union IT Minister himself and the BSNL Head from Alwar visited him with an offer of free broadband connection. This was just the beginning for Imran as there were many other surprises waiting for him on Saturday.

Imran told TOI on phone, “I still can’t believe that Modi Sahab mentioned me in his speech. I am just a normal (ordinary) teacher who loves to teach Maths,” This ordinary teacher is responsible for making 52 mobile applications since 2012 and most important point to be noted is that he doesn’t have any formal education or training in computer science.

As per Imran, till now more than 30 lakh users all over the India have downloaded his apps, he said, “When my younger brother was pursuing engineering, I learned to develop websites from him. I recommended some changes in the government websites that were appreciated by the then Alwar collector Ashutosh Pedneker.”

Imran’s brother went out of the town in search of a job, and Imran got benefitted from his books which contained lessons on how to create mobile apps, after reading books for six months he decided to create an app, however till then he himself was not using a smartphone.

Since then this Grade-III teacher of Government senior secondary Sanskrit school has made many apps for students from rural and remote areas, he also attended National Conference of Union HRD ministry in Vigyan Bhavan, which took place last year in November. He is the one who created ‘NCERT Science’ and Samaniya Gyan (general knowledge) App.

Now the Rajasthan government has noticed the talent of this teacher and state President of BJP Ashok Parnami has promised Imran Khan of all the help that he requires for his work. He has also been called by the collector of Alwar, Muktanand Agarwal and talked about his future plans.

Imran Khan is third among his four siblings, he belongs to Meo community in Kherada village from Malakeda Tehsil of Alwar.

LOOT LE INDIA to be released on Friday

Sir Winston Churchill wrote 64 years ago about India :
"Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India ."
