CLEAR MESSAGE TO JUDICIARY ON NJAC
‘SC MOBILE APP

ANDROID USERS’
Formally assuming charge as Chairman of the Rajya Sabha,
Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, on Wednesday, questioned
the Supreme Court ruling striking down the National Judicial
Appointment Commission Act (NJAC) in 2015, saying there
was no parallel to such a development in democratic history
where a duly legitimised constitutional prescription was judi-
cially undone. This, he said, was a glaring instance of severe
compromise of Parliamentary sovereignty and disregard of
the mandate of the people of which the Rajya Sabha and the
Lok Sabha were custodians.

New Delhi: The Aam
Aadmi Party (AAP) on
Wednesday won MCD
polls with 134 seats, end-
ing the 15-year rule of
the BJP in the prestig-
ious municipal corpora-
tion and reducing the
Congress to just nine
seats in a house of 250.
BJP, which was pre-
dicted to suffer a mas-
sive defeat in exit polls,
put up a spirited fight,
winning 104 municipal
wards, while Congress
managed to win just 9,
down from 30 in the pre-
vious civic poll. In his
address to party work-
ers at AAP office, CM
said civic body will be
rid of “corruption and
bribery”. BJP suggest-
ed that mayor’s election
was still an open game
and noted that Chandi-
garh has a BJP Mayor.
Barely 10-year-old party has “de-
feated” BJP in their stronghold.
People have proved that AAP is
honest party. BJP had gone all guns blazing,
deploying all its top leaders, including 17
central ministers, for campaigning.

Kota: On the third day

Rajasthan, Rahul Gan-
dhi on Wednesday
praised the schemes of
the Rajasthan govern-

Centre for not imple-
menting the ERCP, that
will benefit 13 districts
of the state.
In a meeting held at
the end of the yatra in
Kota’s Kewal Nagar in
the evening, Rahul said
that PM Modi twice
promised to make ERCP
a national project.
“When the Rajasthan
government wants to
maketheprojectwithits
own money
, they stop it.
This scheme will benefit
13 districts, but the PM
has retracted,” he said.
Praising the scheme
of the Gehlot govern-
ment, Rahul said that
the Gehlot government
waived the loan of 22
lakh farmers. “The elec-
tricity bills of 8 lakh
people have become
zero. Insurance of 10
lakh is being given for
treatment under Chi-
ranjeevi Yojana. We did
this work in MP, Chhat-
tisgarh and Maharash-
tra also,” he said.

First India Bureau
Jaipur: Upcoming
New Year 2023 is all set
to bring pleasant news
for Rajasthan tourism
in Spain and Germany.
The ‘Fitur’ tourism
fair will be organised
in Spain from January
18 to 22, 2023. While the
International Tourism
Bourse will be held in
Berlin, Germany from
March 7 to 9, 2023. In
these two prominent
fairs, Rajasthan Tour-
ism will set up grand
pavilions.
An exhibition of
tourism products of
Rajasthan will be or-
ganized. The roadshow
will be done for the pro-
motion of other prod-
ucts including Palace
on Wheels. However,
the names of the offi-
cials going to both
events are yet to be de-
cided. After Corona,
both events are organ-
ized for the first time.
In such a situation,
B2B meetings with
travel agents around
the world will be bene-
ficial. To ensure the
success of Rajasthan
tourism in these two
fairs, vigorous work is
being done in the de-
partment under the
leadership of Principal

Jaipur: Jaipur is set-
ting a unique example
in the world of harmo-
ny between humans
and wildlife. Human
population of about 65
lakhs and more than 100
wild leopards are now
becoming the identity
of Jaipur. This is the
reason that the state
government may soon
declare Jaipur as the
Leopard Capital of the
World.
IUCN Chairman and
International President
of World Wilderness
Congress Vance Martin
has also advocated de-
claring Jaipur as Leop-
ard Capital of the
World.
There are more than

serve. There are more
than 45 leopards in
Jhalana Leopard Re-
serve and more than 20
leopards in Amagarh
Reserve.
CHOUSINGHA SEEN IN SARISKA AFTER 8 YRS
Chousingha deers were also seen in Sariska Tiger
Reserve after eight years. In fact, due to the shift of
villages from Sariska,
the habitat of wildlife
has also increased
and human interfer-
ence has also reduced
considerably. As a
result of this, for the
first time after 2014,
the picture of Chous-
ingha appeared in the camera trap. Field Director Roop
Narayan Meena stated that in the last two and a half
years, three villages have been moved and other villages
will also be shifted soon.

fari Route, and also in-
quired about the work

tion and tourism facili-
ties in Sariska Tiger

Meena. He also congrat-
ulated Narayan Meena
and the staff for their
remarkable work in for-
est and wildlife conser-
vation and tourism ar-
rangements. Chousing-
ha deers were also seen
in Sariska Tiger Reserve
after eight years. Due to
the shift of villages from
Sariska, the habitat of
wildlife has also in-
creased and human in-
terference has also re-
duced considerably
.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: A celebration
took place at the Ra-
jasthan office of the
AAP on Wednesday.
AAP swept the Delhi
Municipal Corporation
elections defeating BJP,
which has been in pow-
er for the last 15 years.
Aam Aadmi Party has
won 134 out of a total of
250 seats in Delhi MCD,
however, BJP could se-
cure only 104 seats. Due
to this victory, there is
enthusiasm among
AAP workers in Ra-
jasthan as well. The vic-
tory was also celebrated
at AAP’s state office in
Jaipur. Next, AAP will
focus on the assembly
elections of Rajasthan
and the survey will
start soon to find the
candidates for all 200
seats.
The high-stakes elec-
tion to the 250 wards of
the MCD, the first since
the merger, was held on
December 4, sealing the
electoral fate of 1,349
candidates in voting
machines. A voter turn-
out of 50.48 per cent
was registered in the
elections.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: The HC on
Wednesday sum-
moned the registrar
examination along
with the records on
Dec 15 in the case re-
lated to the recruit-
ment of District
Judge Cadre-2020.
The hearing was held
in the bench of Jus-
tice Pankaj Bhandari
and Justice Sameer
Jain. The HC also is-
sued notice to the
Registrar General
and sought an an-
swer. “District Judg-
es examined the cop-
ies in the recruit-
ment of District
Judges. There are 85
posts and out of 779

have been passed,”
he said.
First India Bureau

curred in the Ra-

hearing of a petition
filed by BJP leader Ra-
jendra Rathore in the

BJP State President
Dr Satish Poonia said,
“Congress had made
promises to the farm-
ers and youth but did
not fulfill.”
Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: Sardarshahar
bypoll results will be de-
clared today. Interest-
ingly
, the betting market
of Shekhawati and Pha-
lodi is also showing the
victory of Congress. If
the sympathy wave con-
tinues, this seat will
come back to Congress.
In the current Con-
gress govt, by-elections
were held in Ramgarh,
Sujangarh, Sahara,
Vallabhnagar, Rajsa-
mand, Mandawa, and
Dhariyavad constitu-
encies, out of which
BJP won only in Rajsa-
mand and RLP in Khin-
vsar while Congress
won in all other places.
Congress is hopeful
that the sympathy wave
will ensure its victory
and Anil Sharma, son
of late MLA Pandit
Bhanwar Lal Sharma,
will win. On the other
hand, BJP is expecting
that former MLA
Ashok Pincha will be-
come MLA again and
RLP is expecting that
its ‘bottle’ will win on
the basis of farmer
votes. Analysis of the
elections held in these
four years why Con-
gress can win.

For the last four
months, Kishangarh,
which was connected to
half-a-dozen big cities
of the country, has lost
its glory. Only five

Four months ago,

. These flights
were for cities like New

At present, flights op-
erate from here for two
days a week to Indore
3 days to Surat.
At present, the run-
way of the airport is
2,000 metres long. The
Airport Authority of
India has issued ap-
proval to increase it to
3000 metres. Despite
this, the work of run-
way expansion has not
begun. For this rea-

First India Bureau
Jaipur: Preparations
have been started in
Rajasthan for next
year’s budget. CM
Ashok Gehlot will take
suggestions on the
budget on December 9
wherein he will com-
municate with farmers
and other organiza-
tions in CMO from 11
AM onwards regarding
the budget. The officers
have also made prepa-
rations for this.
It is believed that
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot may call the
budget session of the
state assembly in Jan-
uary instead of Febru-
ary.
There is a discus-
sion that Gehlot will
focus on the next elec-
tion by presenting the
budget soon and popu-
list announcements
will be made for the
public in the budget so
that the Congress par-
ty can form the govern-
ment again.
By presenting the
budget ahead of time,
Gehlot will also get an
opportunity to imple-
ment new schemes.
With this he can woo
the voters and create an
atmosphere in his favor
of his government.

IN-DEPTH
FORCED TUBAL
STERILISATIONS A
REMINDER OF
EMERGENCY DAYS
he 24 tubectomy sur-
geries performed
without anaesthesia
in Bihar’s Khagaria
district is a grim re-
minder of the forced tubecto-
mies and vasectomies per-
formed during the Emergency
on the orders of the late Con-
gress leader Sanjay Gandhi.
During the Emergency, states
were given targets for the num-
ber of such surgeries to be per-
formed and the fear of govern-
ment action for failing to meet
the targets resulted in atrocities
on innocent women and men.
The sterilisation programme
became the most notorious as-
pect of the Emergency
.
There were no targets to be
met in Khagaria where 24 wom-
en were subjected to horrific,
painful surgeries without the
set practice of administering lo-
cal anaesthesia being followed.
The doctors and medical person-
nel involved in these senseless
surgeries should have been sus-
pended immediately but action
has been put on hold pending an
inquiry by the civil surgeon who
called it a case of serious medi-
cal negligence. Inaction is a clas-
sic example of administrative
callousness. Health Minister
Tejashvi Yadav’s silence is
equally intriguing.
TOP TWEETS
T
he Aam Aadmi
Party (AAP) has
stormed Bharati-
ya Janata Party’s
(BJP) citadel —
the Municipal Corporation
Delhi (MCD) — which it
ruled for 15 long years.
For Arvind Kejriwal, dis-
lodging the BJP from power
in its stronghold with 134
seats out of 250 is a big
achievement but the victory
will have little impact on na-
tional politics. Though it lost
power, the BJP has done bet-
ter than what the exit polls
predicted. It had to settle for
104 seats, 66 less than its 2017
numbers. The silver lining
for the BJP is that it has im-
proved on its vote share from
36.4 percent in 2017 to 39 per-
cent now.
What the AAP leadership
can tom-tom is that it won a
majority in MCD despite the
BJP using all its top guns in
the civic polls. At the same
time Arvind Kejriwal has to
ensure that his corporators
are sincere about cleaning
mountains of garbage litter-
ing the national capital and
the broom is strong enough
to do so. That’s a huge re-
sponsibility as the party has
promised to clear the pile of
dirt from the garbage landfill
site in east Delhi.
The AAP has promised to
clean up Delhi in the next five
years and Kejriwal has
sought the support of Prime
Minister Narendra Modi in
delivering on his promise.
With the Delhi government
having limited power, it is a
sensible move on the part of
Delhi’s chief minister who
dreams of a bigger role in na-
tional politics.
Gujarat results are expect-
ed to indicate that MCD vic-
tory does not mean that Ke-
jriwal has arrived.
AAP STILL HAS A
LONG WAY TO GO
The AAP has stormed
BJP citadel - the MCD -
which it ruled for 15 long
years. For Arvind
Kejriwal, dislodging
the BJP from power
in its stronghold with
134 seats out of 250
is a big achievement
but the victory will have
little impact on
national politics
T
REFINING
THE INNER
PERSON
ll of us have a genetic make-
up that, to some degree, de-
termines the kind of person
we are. Also, the environ-
ment and background influ-
ences one’s inner self to a
large extent. Should one
then, just shrug off the mat-
ter and adopt a defeatist at-
titude by saying, “I cannot
help the way I am.”
Conversely, we know some
people who are very negative
and critical about nearly eve-
rything. Are they really hap-
py people? Much depends on
one’s attitude and outlook.
There are others who allow
themselves to be overcome by
an inferiority complex. With
such feelings, they view
themselves as worthless.
Many feel weary due to exces-
sive anxiety
.
Analysing oneself from
time to time helps. Do I get
upset over the habits or
shortcomings of others? If
so, it may be that the problem
lies more with me than with
the other person. Do I quick-
ly get irritated or hurt? If so,
could it be that I think too
highly of myself or I’m over-
ly sensitive? Often, when we
do this introspection, we find
that our “reasons” are quite
petty
. One may discover with-
in, a motive that one did not
realize it existed.
Such self examination
helps to see the weak spot and
also recognize one’s own con-
tributiontotheproblem,rath-
er than becoming frustrated
by focusing solely on the oth-
er person’s errors regarding
which there is no control or
one can do little about it.
Taking an objective look at
the other person helps in get-
ting an overall view. Perhaps,
the person is falling short in
just one area. Would it be
proper then to judge an indi-
vidual on the basis of one or
two irritating traits? Usually,
one’s judgement is influ-
enced by personal feelings of
the moment.
Trying to see the other
person’s point of view is not
always easy, especially when
their view points are dia-
metrically opposed to ours.
Yet the effort one makes in
trying to see things differ-
ently serves to offset one’s
own feelings and has a calm-
ing effect. It gives us insight
on how others feel and act to
some extent.
A person with negative
thinking is usually sluggish
and tends to make excuses to
justify his course. In any un-
dertaking or job, satisfaction
comes when one sees it
through without quitting.
Some jobs appeal, some do
not. By looking not just at the
surface or at the immediate
benefits that comes in terms
of pay, one can also think
about the moulding effect it
can have on one’s personality
.
Working effectively with
people requires not to ‘give
up’ on others. Initiating
friendships and then drop-
ping them at the first sign of
disagreement or letting fric-
tion break up work arrange-
ments leads to loss of respect
and confidence.
The very act of working at
the problem reduces the like-
lihood of losing control. It
also keeps one conscious of
the need to adjust one’s think-
ing, if there is constant irrita-
tion due to others’ failings.
Challenges can make life
interesting. Rather than run-
ning away, rising to meet
them with extra effort,
thought, energy and time
makes one resourceful and
prevents our life from becom-
ing just a series of failures
and unfinished projects.
Much happiness is derived
through accomplishment.
Negative aspects of life
fade into the background
when positive thoughts fill
our mind. Difficulties are
easier to bear when there is
no grumbling and brooding.
This improves health as it
keeps in check such emo-
tions as anger, jealousy, ha-
tred and revenge. The happy,
contented, tolerant person
cheers others.
Positive persons give us
vigour to persevere and with-
stand heavy storms in life.
“Hitch your wagon to a star”
advises an old saying. Goals
of high purpose give mean-
ingful direction and keeps
one from floundering or stag-
nating. Any attempt to re-
store a man’s inner strength
is in showing him future
goals, says a psychiatrist.
The consciousness of one’s
inner value is anchored in
higher things. There is noth-
ing that would help one to
survive even the worst condi-
tions, as the knowledge that
there is meaning in life. A
long life without the feeling
of fulfilment is very tedious.
We feel useful when we
help others. Useful lives be-
come meaningful lives.
Tiredness ceases the moment
a meaning is found in life.
Negative thinking gives
negative results. Doubts are
traitors that makes one lose
what one may win if tried. As
the person thinks, so is he!
It is well worth the effort to
cultivate and to maintain a
cheerful, balanced disposi-
tion, for one’s own welfare
and that of others.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL

makeup that, to some
degree, determines the
kind of person we are.
Also, the environment and
background influences
one’s inner self to a large
extent. Should one then,
just shrug off the
matter and adopt a
defeatist attitude by

Bhopal: Madhya
Pradesh Forest Minis-
ter Kunwar Vijay Shah
on Wednesday said af-
ter Namibia, now Chee-
tahs were expected to
soon arrive from South
Africa. The first set of
Cheetahs was released
by Prime Minister Nar-
endra Modi in the Kuno
National Park here in
September, when eight
of the big cats were
flown in to revive their
population in India af-
ter over half a century
it went extinct in the
country
.Twelve new en-
closures with all facili-
ties were being built at
Kuno in Sheopur dis-
trict, the state minister
added. Minister Vijay
Shah told ANI, “Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi has taken up the
initiative of re-intro-
duction of Cheetahs
from Namibia and
South Africa.
“We have completed
the first phase. After
bringing eight Chee-
tahs from Namibia, we
not only kept them in
quarantine but also fa-
miliarised them with
the environment and
released them in an
open enclosure. Now,
these Cheetahs are
hunting and they are in
good health.”
PM Modi released
the eight Cheetahs on
the occasion of his
birthday on September
17 this year. “An MoU
(Memorandum of Un-
derstanding) for the
next phase is in pro-
cess. 12 new enclosures
with more facilities
were being built at the
Kuno National Park.
Enclosures are ready
but we are improving
them further,” he said.

BIG CAT MATTERS
IT IS SENSIBLE TO GET BEST DEAL IN
INTERESTOF INDIANS:JAISHANKAR
New Delhi (ANI): The
government does not
ask Indian companies
to buy oil from Russia
but it is a sensible poli-
cy to get the best deal in
the interest of Indian
people, External Af-
fairs Minister S Jais-
hankar said in Rajya
Sabha on Wednesday.
Responding to ques-
tions from members in
the Upper House, the
minister said that it is
his duty to prioritise
the interests of the In-
dian people and to pre-
vent them from being
affected by the actions
of other countries or
regions for fertilizer,
food, etc.
“We do not ask our
companies to buy Rus-
sian oil. We ask our
companies to buy oil,
what is the best option
that they can get. Now it
depends on what the
market throws up.
“If tomorrow the
market gives us more
competitive options.
Again, please do under-
stand. It’s not just that
we buy oil from one
country
. We buy oil from
multiple sources, but it
is a sensible policy to go
where we get the best
deal in the interests of
the Indian people and
that is exactly what we
are trying to do,” Jais-
hankar added.

SENIOR BABU STILL UNDERTAKING ‘WORK FROM
HOME’ AS DoP LEAVES HIM WITHOUT OFFICE!
BUREAUCRATIC TALES
Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: Let us regale
an interesting story
about senior IAS Pri-
tam B Yashwant whom
the state government
has accorded the re-
sponsibility of Com-
missioner, Departmen-
tal Enquiries. Although
he is at an important
position, yet, neither
does he have a room in
the state secretariat nor
does he have an office
set-up. In fact, from No-
vember 1 onwards, he is
either working from
home, or working from
the office of some other
senior official.
This is because in De-
cember 2020, he was
transferred to his cur-
rent position from the
position of Secretary,
GAD. In October 2021,
he went on a year long
leave and his room was
thereafter allotted to
some other officer.
A year later when he
returned, he joined his
old post on November 1
and although DoP is-
sued a fresh order and
allotted him work, he
was not allotted a new
room to operate his of-
fice from.
According to the Reg-
istrar of DoP, who allot-
ted the rooms, the DoP
has not received any
requisition from Pri-
tam B Yashwant to allot
him a room. Thus the
question now is as to
where is the confusion
and why is there any
confusion? Knowledge-
able sources reveal that
it is a rare feat that an
officer joins on the
same post after return-
ing from a year long
leave. It may be a rare
feat to achieve but in
Secretariat, where
rooms are scarce, it is
almost next to impossi-
ble that an unoccupied
room remains so for a
whole year! It now re-
mains to be seen when
Yashwant gets a room
allotted!
In Secretariat, where rooms are scarce,
it will be interesting to see that when B
Yashwant gets a room allotted for him!

Couple dies with 2
kids suspiciously
in Banswara
First India Bureau
Banswara: A couple
and two children were
found dead in a house in
the Anandpuri police
station area in the dis-
trict on Wednesday.
Prima facie, the case
remained suspicious as
the woman and her two
children were found ly-
ing on the cot, while the
husband was found
hanging nearby with
the noose of a saree.
It was speculated
from foul smell that all
three died last night due
to insecticide, while Mo-
han also hanged him-
self after their death.
This made the episode
appear to be of suicide.

First India Bureau
Jaipur: An obscene
video allegedly show-
ing Rajasthan’s Minor-

Shale Mohammed with
a woman is viral on so-
cial media. The BJP

Vadodara: What was
the Aam Aadmi Party
focussing on in the Gu-
jarat elections? While
all parties focus on a
particular vote bank,
the AAP too undertook
the same approach. In-
terestingly, a cab driver,
who worked with AAP’s
team for three months
prior to the election, re-
vealed the secret plan
of Aam Aadmi Party.
According to the driver,
AAP focused on tribal
areas, while in urban
areas, major cities like
Surat and Ahmedabad
were on the radar. Del-
hi’s special team stayed
in these areas for 90
days and this team col-
lected grass roots data
one by one. It did the
work of connecting or-
ganizations.
Notably, according to
the driver, the cash, re-
portedly, used to come
from Delhi, first to
Ahmedabad and then
used to reach other ar-
eas in the state. Word is
that AAP’s volunteers
were expecting 25 to 30
seats in the election.

Former CM Vasundha-

addressing the Jan

in Kanwadi village of
Jhalrapatan, said that
Congress govt didn’t
care for public, but for
itself. “It worked for it-
self, not for public. In-
stead of saving people,
it spent entire 4 years in
saving itself. This pub-
lic anger against govt is
not only in BJP and the
public, but also in Con-
gress leaders, Congress
MLAs and Ministers,”
she said. “This govern-
ment is neglecting Jhal-
awar because BJP, me
and MP Dushyant Sin-
gh are from here,” she
said. Raje quipped that
after 4 years, 2-4 days
ago, the roads in Jhala-
war have definitely be-
come smooth and shiny,
not for people but for
the special guest. 24

A Beautiful
Changemaker!
“You cannot change the world, but you change one thought, and the world will
change on its own hence,” said Marishca Rodrigues, a ravishing beauty
hailing from the green lands of Mumbai called Vasai and one of the
finalists of First India Queen, in a candid conversation with City First!
he world needs
strong women.
Women who
will lift and
build others,
who will love
and be loved.
Women who live brave-
ly, both tender and
fierce. Women of in-
domitable will. Marish-
ca Rodrigues, one of the
finalists of First India
Queen proved that
Many of the things that
seem impossible now
will become realities of
tomorrow and the lim-
its of the possible can
only be defined by going
beyond them into the
impossible.
From being trolled
for the type of acne-
prone skin and skinny
body she carries to be-
come the girl she always
wanted to be, strong,
tall and confident, Mar-
ishca Rodrigues, hail-
ing from the green
lands of Mumbai called
Vasai shook the world
with her beautiful
transformation.
She again proved that
‘Your success in life
isn’t based on your abil-
ity to simply change. It
is based on your ability
to change faster than
your competition be-
cause change is hard
because people overes-
timate the value of
what they have and un-
derestimate the value
of what they may gain
by giving that up.’

entrepreneur’s vision, ide-
as, philosophies, achieve-
ments, and message. Let
us examine how exactly
this can be extended.
NOVEL IDEA TO BE A
NOVELIST!
Many entrepreneurs, espe-
cially those who have had
a flair and interest in writ-
ing, have a brilliant oppor-
tunity of becoming novel-
ists. You’d be hard- pressed
to find an entrepreneur
who has not had an excit-
ing, against-all-odds kind
of story, or a reservoir of
experiences with situa-
tions and people whilst
setting up their business-
es. All these personal
growth stories and anec-
dotes, characters met
along the way and through
their individual journeys,
can be used as great fiction
material by entrepreneurs
and turned into extremely
immersive, inspiring and
fun novels. Encounters
with powerful people, poli-
ticians, planners, govern-
ments and departments,
industries and boards and
the myriad of interesting
people an entrepreneur
meet along the way; it isn’t
always possible to write a
non-fiction, tell-all book.
So why not turn it all into
one exaggerated, super-
fun, fiction novel with all
the twists and turns of a
nail-biter? If it hits the
mark, there will be anoth-
er source of personal rev-
enue and another interest-
ing dimension to the entre-
preneur’s personality!
PERFECT CVS AMP;
RESUMES
Another facet of writing
that most entrepreneurs
will understand insight-
fully and naturally will be
how to best represent one-
self to the public. Having
ostensibly represented
themselves to many insti-
tutions, investors, bodies
and individuals, entrepre-
neurs ought to have a firm
handle on how to write
and put together the most
succinct yet impressive
and noticeable resumes.
Why not turn this inher-
ent knowledge into a skill
that one employs to help
others, with the imminent
possibility of that itself
becoming a real money-
spinner? It might sound a
touch mundane when com-
pared to being a potential-
ly beloved and recognized
novelist, but hey, being
someone who helps less-
informed people with their
resumes will certainly
bring more good karma in
one’s favour, and if it
clicks, even more in the
cash register than some
fairly known novelists
could manage!
EDUCATION
The eternal debate, to
study or to learn on the
job. The great and enviable
fact is that an entrepre-
neur can help bridge this
divide between academia
and professional experi-
ence more effectively than
anyone else. How? By con-
tributing their learnings,
understanding, insights,
real-world-problems and
their solutions, and real-
world requirements, by
way of curating material
for online programs rang-
ing from Entrepreneurial
Workshops to Seminars
and longer courses even.
There is hardly anyone
better suited to developing
course content than some-
one who has been through
the grind themselves and
emerged not only success-
ful but infinitely more en-
lightened as a result.
Think about it. From start-
up champion to suave pro-
fessor! Does have an unde-
niably nice ring to it,
doesn’t it?
BIOGRAPHY
Would it not be utterly fas-
cinating to read the real-
life account of a person
such as Elon Musk, the
renegade, iconic, new-age
entrepreneur and force be-
hind the always-in-the-
news electric car giant
Tesla? Sure, it would be.
Becoming one’s own biog-
rapher for most new-age
entrepreneurs, pouring
their unique struggles and
learnings, triumphs and
failures, lessons and dis-
ruptive ideas into a tell-all
the factual book would not
just make for interesting
reading, it would be a
hugely inspirational ac-
count for upstarts who
want to learn, avoid mak-
ing costly mistakes, even
truly test if they have the
same fire and passion as is
needed to really make it as
a successful entrepreneur.
Why not be that entrepre-
neur who enlightens and
shakes up the world with
your biography?
BLOGGER
Finally, of course, there’s
blogging. Don’t have the
time or wherewithal to be-
come a full-time, long-form
writer, no problem at all.
Write short, quick yet reg-
ular and insightful slice-
of-life pieces on your own
website, blog, microsite or
better still, on one or two
of a plethora of platforms
most suited to your spe-
cific area of business.
These short writings have
the potential of gathering
an immense following, a
family, a community that
will become loyal to you,
stay engaged, and come
along with you, in what-
ever you do – an invaluable
asset for an entrepreneur,
to enjoy that kind of per-
sonal connect with at least
a section of the like-mind-
ed target audience. As a
happy by-product, the en-
trepreneur gets to write,
share, discover, and learn
from the highly dynamic,
engaged, and interactive
nature of the blogging
world! New-age entrepre-
neurs need to not only con-
duct business in newer,
more innovative ways but
also find avenues of ex-
pressing themselves and
their personalities in
equally unorthodox and
alternative ways. Creative
Writing in many of its
forms could serve as that
perfect solution. Happy
Writing!

bit more talented
than my fellow ac-

”I think maybe
I’ve built a certain

work. We’ll see if
that’s accepted or
not. It’s really
hard to be Indian
