How to make 28 hours of a day

Thomas Alva Edison

For Him A Day Was Not Of 24 hours
Else He Would not have Achieved 1100 Inventions
But He Made His Day of 28 hours.

I Want To Show You How.

First this article is not for you if you -->

1. Sleep more than 7 hours a day (incl. weekends)
2. Listen to music or watch TV more than 2 hours a day
3. Spend time chatting with friends at tea stall for more than an Hour
4. Orkut more than 2 hours a day
5. Go to theatre or shopping mall more than once in a fortnight.

This article is must for you if you -->

1. Want to crack Competitive Exams like CAT, GRE, GMAT, GATE, XAT, SAT.
2. Want to crack Civil Services (IAS, IPS, IFS, etc).
3. Want to pursue your hobby like Music, Dance, and Painting along with Good performance in mainstream education.
4. Your dream is greater than your potential -- Your friends Think so.

I will discuss Three Golden Rules which according to me will help you - Do more than what you can do and Achieve more than what you always wanted to.

Rule #1  Multitasking 

Rule is simple…Try to do two tasks at a time…. but some conditions apply. . Never attempt those two tasks in which any one of them requires cognitive skills…like poetry, music, studying, painting etc. The level of expected accuracy or efficiency in these tasks is infinity and thus should be done in single. There are other mundane tasks like SMSing, Chatting, Watching Movies, Watching Cricket, Listening Music, Drinking Tea/Coffee, Writing Records, Travelling in BUS/TRAIN and similar tasks which can always been done in conjunction. Many of you have been inadvertently doing multitasking now you have to make it deliberate and intentional. Those of you think that this logic is ineffective try it at the least, we shall discuss more if it fails.

To start with try learning SMSing without having a glance at your cell phone. Once you achieve that Multitasking while Messaging will become a cakewalk.

Rule #2  Steal Interstices of Time 

It has been found that There lies a comfortable time gap between the works/tasks we do. . I am talking about stealing this time. Though it sounds strange…but this is how you will be able to achieve the impossible i.e Make Your Day of 28 hours . Just see around your day and you will find many such Interstices of Time. For example The Time when one lecturer leaves your classroom and other enters. You have to accept that even in best of colleges there’s a comfortable time gap (and in colleges like mine’s The gap sometimes stretches to ∞ ). The gap between you reach home and really start doing any task (whether study or watch TV). After the lunch/dinner and the task immediately done after that. In between your TV Time and BED Time.

To find out more Interstices of Time.. Observe your normal day and make the routine spanning (not in hours) but in every 5 minutes. For eg.

6:00 Wake-Up
6:00 – 6:05 Was just waking up.(*)
6:05 – 6:10 Brushing my Teeth.
6:10 – 6:15 Loitering just here and there.(*)
6:15 – 6:20 Metabolic Run Also called Nature's Call
- - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -------- - -- - - - - - -- - -- - - - -- -
6:00 – 6:05 Had Tea
6:05 – 6:15 Don’t know what I did ..just glancing around (*)
6:15 – 6:20 Went back to room.

Yah the list is going to be long but you need not make it daily. Just once. Scrutinize it and see how many 5 Min’s did you waste. In the example above I find 3 (Those will * symbols).

Rule #3  Rejuvenate for More Efficiency 

Efficiency of work exponentially decreases with time.. So you must rejuvenate, re-energize & regenerate your potential. Do what works for you. Different people revitalize with different things. Some people like listening to soothing music, Some love to talk to their dear ones. Some love to fag, Some love to drink TEA/COFFEE Your’s truly . May be you can use some of the wasted 5 min’s to rejuvenate and revitalize. But remember not to get addicted to those AND STRICTLY AVOID TV OR CHAT it would stretch to ∞ .

The Million Dollar Question is How often should you take these short gaps?? It depends on your potential and what work you have been doing. May be 15 min to 1 hr. But you must take a break at the end of an hour. I know some people have ability to sit for long hours on a trot. This has to be avoided. TAKE A BREAK EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY FEEL OTHERWISE.. You may be tempted to save those little 5 min’s but ultimately you will give more hours in work due to decreased efficiency.

And as the Adage goes ONE WHO DOES NOT FIND TIME FOR FUN WILL ULTIMATELY COMPENSATE BY FINDING TIME FOR ILLNESS .
There could be more Rules…. May be you people have your own rules to Elongate Day, Work More and Achieve All . If you have any do let me know I would be happy to include them in Second Edition of This article.
Till then remember one thing All that was achieved was by work. Efficient time management would lead to more time to do more work. More work done would lead to more achievement. Thomas Alva Edison , achieved 1100 inventions (in one life time), only by making more hours a day than you know.

All The Best in your new Endeavor. And Happy making 28 Hours a Day.

An Apostle of Brilliance

On this day some years back a cub was born. Today he has grown into a Tiger, an exemplary genius. His ability to Walk with Kings nor lose the common touch (“IF” – Rudyard Kipling ) separates him from the rest. His friends are just proud to walk shoulder to shoulder with him. There’s an adage “You can Love him, You can Hate him But you can’t ignore him”, with him there’s only one way – “You can only love him”

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to life and times of Sumith Karun, Emperor of Generosity, King of Champions and Prince of Perseverance. This paean may sound exaggerated but those who know him will accord with me the verity of the fact. If you don’t know Sumith Karun, he will remain an enigma to you throughout the article which I will try to demystify.

The greatest mortal to walk on the aisles and corners of Bharath University is certain to have his name engrossed onto the chronicles of the University. Generations of Students to come will scarcely believe that person like Sumith Karun walked in the University in Flesh and Blood. (Similar to Einstein’s Quote on Mahatma Gandhi)

ACHIEVEMENTS

Whether it was Scoring Perfect 10/10 GPA or Cracking MAT with 97.28 Percentile , Sumith Karun has proved his Genius in all front. Whether it was getting placed in Wipro or his previous employers, he has triumphed in his First Attempts (A virtuoso who requires no second chance). In spite of all these neither he has any arrogance nor high-handedness over it. It is due to his sheer virtue and candid nature.

FUTURE

A Nonpareil (Eminent beyond or above comparison, unequalled) in making, this wizard is in a position to dictate his future than just follow. As Iqbal said in his poetry खुद हि को कर बुलन्द इत्त्ना कि हर तक्दिर से पेहले, खुदा बन्दे से खुद पुछे बता तेरी रज़ा क्या है | Make yourself so strong that before God decides your future he will ask for your opinion . His determination stands so high and eminent that no hurdles can stop him from conquering his dreams… लगे रहो सुमी, लगे रहो .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

October 11 , (same month as Gandhiji’s birth ) . This is my Birthday Gift to him. I request you all to wish Sumith Karun on his Birth Day and also wish him all the best for his CAT exam on November 18, 2007, for which he has diligently prepared . At last I am modifying one of the most popular song by Girija Mathur (The song translated to most number of languages in the world, 134 precisely) to Dedicate it to him………..

This is for you Sumi


तुम होगे कामयाब

तुम होगे कामयाब
तुम होगे कामयाब
तुम होगे कामयाब एक दिन
मन में है विश्वास, पूरा है विश्वास
तुम होंगे कामयाब एक दिन

You Shall Overcome
You Shall Overcome
You Shall Overcome One Day
Deep in my heart, I do believe
You Shall Overcome One Day





Sumi Another One for you--------

तू शाहिन है............................................
पर्वाज़ है मुकाम तेरा.....
तू शाहिन है............................................
बसेरा कर पहाड़ोन की चट्टानो पर...
नही तेरा बसेरा इन पेड़ों की शाख़ों पर...........................

You are a Falcon (King of Aves), be destined to soar the high sky.
You reside at Rocks of High Mountains.
You are not doomed to lowly branches of trees.

or email him at: sumith_80@yahoo.com
else leave a comment to this article which will be delivered to him, by his Ardent fan, his Friend and his Admirer – Your’s Truly

Lets Fight Poverty and Hunger

I am sorry if this page has taken a long time to load. Anyways how much time did it take…. Ten Seconds (BroadBand), Twenty Seconds (Dialup) or Fifty Seconds (Mobile).
Let’s take average Thirty (30) Seconds. Why I am so concerned with this time is that within this time (30 Sec) SIX CHILDREN HAVE DIED DUE TO HUNGER!!

Yes, according to the UN Child Report, One Child Dies in Every 5 Second due to Hunger. Isn’t it horrifying, shocking, pathetic, sorrowful and ghastly? I don’t know about you, but to me, this fact brings, Anger, Shock, Fear, and Tears. Honestly ask yourself did you ever think of such poor people who strive hard to earn a square meal.
I don’t know if you have met the poorest people of this world. For your kind information, the people you see on the roads, beggars, hawkers, amateur thieves and slum dwellers…they are not the one of whom I am talking about.

I am talking about homeless, jobless, illiterate and penniless people. Specially the children as they have absolutely no means to subsist. They just die due to hunger i.e. no food to eat. Medical encyclopedia says it is sufficient for a middle aged man to survive of 5 pieces of bread daily. Now tell me, how pathetic it is. We must have thrown so many pieces of bread unknowingly just because our appetite was satisfied.

Do you know that more than 50 % of children worldwide are undernourished? While 25% are obese. Why is this chilling imbalance? So many kids just don’t have enough food to survive. Can we do some thing about this? or Have we done some thing about this? NO. Now a argument will pop-up in your mind and you will say What alone can you do or Its not under your capability or Its policy makers headache (or Governments), not yours…….
I will tell you what alone you can do. This is another plaque which has clutched our society. We tend to neglect the FORCE OF ONE, because we are always taught of STRENGTH OF UNITY.

Before I tell you what and how you can help reduce hunger and poverty, I want to share some personal anecdote. When people read my profile in Orkut they come across my aim which reads as 1. To Eradicate World Poverty and Hunger (There are 2 more). They give strange replies and comment. Some think I’m nuts, some think its slouch (lie to get attention) and some empathy on me, but none are stirred or inspired. I had always waited for scraps like.. Come on Aaditya lets do it or Ok let me help you or I share the same aim as yours.

Now let me tell you what at the least you can do. Next time you leave some food on plate think twice. It is not to sympathize with those who do not get to eat but it has an Economical Effect.
Let me explain. If you take more but eat less i.e. you waste. It means you buy more than what you need. Thus more demand with same supply causes price to sore up. It is called Demand and Supply Rule. When price increase the poor can’t afford it. The increase may be just few % or few rupees but for those who earn just under Rs 100 (Standard Poverty Line Parameter) few rupees makes whole lot of a difference. In return if you buy just what you need. That is the commodity is surplus in the market which causes the price to plunge making it more affordable.

I know, again you may be thinking; just by your taking the measures what difference will it make. Now you are neglecting the STRENGTH OF UNITY. Even if you buy 1 kg Dosai mau or Rice or wheat less per week multiply it with just 20 Crore (One Fifth of India’s Population) and now you see. The surplus will cause the price to decrease at least by 25%. Still if you are not impressed or if you didn’t understand the Maths leave it. Just contribute.

I hope hence forth you all people (who ever reads this) will make effort to reduce hunger and poverty. If you can come forward with better ideas do let me know as it would help me achieve my aim. Don’t wait for others to start. You lead others.

Last fact to just to keep you enthralled. Average reading speed is 150 words per minute. Till here its 755 words. So it must have taken you 5.03 minutes. By this time 60 children have died due to lack of bread or dosai or idli or chapatti or pasta or momo which you will be leaving wasted in your plate tonight.

Impossible… Only until its Possible

I don’t know what is with this word IMPOSSIBLE.
Whenever anyone utters this word in front of me…I feel some kind of restlessness.
Like if someone says that this task is impossible to do or anything like that, I feel some kind of Adrenaline Rush, which guys generally get while bunging jumping or speed riding. Suddenly I start doing soliloquy and question pops up, what if I can do this.
At that moment I don’t think about the problem. Nor the logics against the favor. Then I don’t see the problem or the answer or the solution or the task. Only thing which resonates is what if I can do this.

My belief is that Every Single Thing Possible Today Was Once Impossible
Does that mean that everything which is Impossible Today Will Be Possible Tomorrow???

Answer is I don’t know and no one knows. That is why it is impossible Today.

Do you think Neanderthal Men (Early Primitive Human Form) thought Flying or Virtual Meeting or even Telephone as Possible..? NO.

My aim writing this article is to make you believe that what you may be dreaming of, what ever it may be, just one thing is Truth that it is Not Impossible. Fact may be that you don’t see how it is possible today but if you work on it, if you go to the core of making it into reality; certainly it will be Possible One Day. But there a problem exists.
Though you may conceive it Possible but you will find most of the people on the other side of the bridge. They don’t see it. In fact they don’t want to see it. They will also make you believe it as impossible. That is the point where we lost Hundreds of Newtons and Einsteins and Edisons and Wright Brothers.

Few people have the courage to stand upto their ideas and dreams however Impossible it may seem to others. These people understand and fight and see the silver lining on the Cloud…..

That is what is needed, ability to trust yourself when everyone around doubts you.
Strong determination, courage and passion towards your dream will certainly guide you towards success and you will see an impossible happening. Impossible becomes possible.

At the last I would like to say only one thing that the word IMPOSSIBLE ITSELF READS I—M--POSSIBLE.
