My first social impact project
My first social impact

Let
me begin this post with a thought.I hear that india’s biggest problemis its
population. I say that population is not
the problem, unproductive population is. It is like we have 125 crore machines
and we are saying that this inventory is the the problem, if we talk in
business sense, we are essentially saying that we have nmore machines/inventory
that’s why we do not progress…….India’s biggest strength is its 250 crore
hands.
March 18 2013, I got a phone no. of cantonment
Board employee and requested him to clean the site. Next day, I passed by the
site and saw that the site was unchanged and full of garbage.
It seems that municipal corporation employee
Sudarashan has not understood the exact site that I requested him to clean. He
has asked me to meet him on Saturday March 23 in Gandhi hall to discuss what
and how of cleaning up.
March 24: By the time I reached Gandhi hall,
Sudarashan had already left. I met his second-Balakrishna. Bala promised to
clean the site by 30th March. I asked him that we have to make sure
that the site remains so once the cleaning is done.

I
believe, broadly, that there are three kinds of people as far as problem
solvers are concerned.
Firstly,
I see around me many who are plain followers. This specie participates neither in
planning nor in decision making. They have no ideas of their own. They just
work on the commands they receive; they follow orders without applying mind.
These comprise 60% of the people.
Then,
there are idea givers. Free idea givers. They have solutions for almost all the
problems and also know how to implement these solutions. However, they do not
participate in the implementation of the solutions. Problem presented, solution
given but not implemented. Job half done! These comprise 39% of the people.
Next
are those who not only give the solution/ideas on solving issues but also take
the ideas from the mind to the floor. These actually implement their ideas in
solving the problem. These comprise 1% of the people.
In
an organization, the higher the percentage of these doers, the higher will be
the success.
anxiety at its peak
2) Nervous I AM???? yes of course….Yes I am anxious and nervous today, one day
before my Kellogg interview. It is such a shitty feeling. I am not thinking or
unable to think of anything else but my interview tomorrow. I have prepared for
all possible questions, still I am nervous.
What
if I succeed? That will be the happiest moment of my life. Moreover, there is a
need to succeed in tomorrow’s interview. Why? Don’t know. Really, I don’t know.
May be if I fail, the feeling will not be nice. Sometimes I imagine opening an
email saying- “we regret to say that you will not be offered admission” for the
class of 2015. I
ok,
let me see what is my fear. I fear that I may feel extremely nervous and forget
everything in front of the interviewer. I may sit blank in front of him. But,
this has never happened in my entire life. I have always had an answer, right
or wrong, but answered I have always. This reminds me of the famous oven-non
oven joke when the interviewer asked me about woven and non-woven fabrics but I
mistook it as oven and non –oven fabrics. So let us rule out the possibility of
going blank.
Next,
I may forget some of the things that I have prepared to tell him. This will
result in the interviewer rating me average. But, what if the other students
are rated below average? But let us think worse. I get the average rating and
other candidates blow the interview. This will result in denial of admission.
This, fact will be disclosed to me only by March 20. Why the hell then I am
spoiling my today i.e., Feb 21.
Nothing
that makes you anxious is worth pursuing. Nothing that makes you feel bad is
worth doing. It is everybody’s right to live every moment of his life in joy
and misery free. A single moment spent in misery is a great injustice to the
life.
Now,
after writing 339 words, I am feeling a bit better.
Thought
negative? Now, let us try to be a bit positive. I
since awhat If I fail.
