No CommentsC. JoyBell C., once said, “There are two things we should always be 1. raw and 2. ready. When you are raw, you are always ready and when you are ready you usually realize that you are raw. Waiting for perfection is not an answer, one cannot say “I will be
ready when I am perfect” because then you will never be ready, rather one must say “I am raw and I am ready just like this right now, how and who I am.” -

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw
off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” These words of H. Jackson Brown Jr., [P.S. I Love You] are not just momentary and fleeting feel good words. They create caution lest we repent. -

A very-very big thank you indeed. I have no words to express my gratitude for the excellent encouragement and appreciation
on the first issue of your Ymag. Amidst downgrading of India’s progress chart and a debate of 50:50 chances of India making it,
life remains as usual, gradually getting a little hotter. Studies have started revealing that the young India is not in a blind race
of getting more money out of job but instead looks for a more balanced employer and a financially stable future. Nothing new in India. Mindset of the classifiers [baby boomers, Gen X Y Z alpha beta…] meets the reality of India. Time to say YES to progressive people care and development. -

I am delighted to place before you the first edition of the monthly Ymag. Consider this as a beta version. Many changes may take place during the next few issues based on the advise, comments and guidance that I may receive from you. It is your eMag. Feel free to help in building the shape you desire to see. Many of you would be wondering the reason for my discontinuing ABCeMag which reached you 70 times on time with precision every fortnight. Well, I just wanted to expand the scope from Academia, Business and Consulting to include professionals in every domain. I am in the midst of completing formalities to establish YPROSINDIA, a social enterprise, focusing on professionals with a zest of saying Yes and whY-not to every positive action. You will read all the details in the next issue.

Indians are amongst the top HAPPYPEOPLE in the world.After series of depressive findingson education and slowing economyfronts, this report does reflect thesilver lining.Is this the person on the streets inIndia alone who is happy or doesthe figure reflect the moods ofpeople engaged in Academia,Business and Consulting? We don’thave the data. Well, lets rejoice inthe spirit at least.Lets hope HAPPINESS rubs theworld too in the right way.Countries have started flexingmuscles which does not sound goodfor Nations, people and ofcourseABC.

Cricket is not the only domainwhere India is being hit badly.Last issue we talked about theeducational standards and at thetime of editing this edition, wecome across another dishearteningreport on the environmental front.India ranks lowly at 125 on theenvironment index.Year after year why do we acceptourselves to be a nation oflaggards? Why is mediocrity deeplyingrained in our cultural milieu?What are we doing about it?Raising questions is surely easy.Working together to find solutionsand act on them is not easier. ‘NaySayers’ abound in our nation ofplentiful divergence.

We have a major wakeup call as perthe newspapers:India ranked second last among the73 countries that participated in theProgramme for InternationalStudent Assessment (PISA),conducted annually to evaluateeducation systems worldwide by theOECD (Organisation for EconomicCo-operation and Development)Secretariat. The survey is based ontwo-hour tests that half a millionstudents are put through.We are 200 points behind globaltopper.The pride of India, the passionatelyrics “Saare Jahan Se Achhaa,Hindustan Hamara…”, countingDoctors, Software professionals etc.given to the western world, does takea serious jolt, if people who matter arelistening.

Here are some editorialpredictions for 2012, with punintended,:• Most of us will remain part ofABC• Most of us will talk a lot indrawing room andconferences about what ishappening in India butpersonally won’t do anything.• Most of us will read less,digest lesser yet talk more andproclaim better about theknowledge that we possess.• Most of us will still fall behindin the IT adoption. Internetwill still be used for emailingand milder social networking.• Most of us will talk a lot aboutnetworking but will realizethat ‘networking is notworking’.Rest of us will still be following‘Alag Tewar, Alag Flavour’…
