The making of an entrepreneur...

One of my recent interests has been Entrepreneurship.That's why I 've added some of the interesting websites on entrepreneurship in my blog. I've just started exploring the prospects of becoming an entrepreneur, rather the various ways and means of becoming one. And it is all quite interesting!!Also I see that the path is not very easy and it takes a lot to be one!! But one day I dream of becoming one and I wish that dream comes true soon. For quite sometime I've been working on Adobe's Design Suite, especially on the web designing softwares. I was really amazed at the sheer power of these softwares when it comes to drawing and creating custom templates.It is simply marvelous. I'm planning to write more about these tools in my forthcoming blog posts. Infact I would like to soon create my online portfolio and showcase my work in it. I've lots of plans in my mind , soon will keep my blog updated on that front. So bye for now... See you all with my online portfolio soon.Also you guys can help me build my business by refering me for any type of design work like designing business cards, greeting cards or any small scale website design.I promise to deliver the best!!
You can also see the logo that I've designed for my upcoming venture(Media communications or web design company).I'm in the process of conceptualising and designing a better logo than this one.I shall put it in my official website whenI finish building it.

The Special Girl!!

It was a usual Monday morning. I quickly packed the lunch box and got ready for office and my husband dropped me at the bus stop. It was already late and so I decided to board any BMTC bus that comes my way rather than wait for my usual Volvo bus. I somehow made up my mind to get into the crowded BMTC bus. Though I detest the very sight of the old fashioned, dirty looking BMTC buses, today I had no other choice(Late riser should pay the price!!). After some time, the girl sitting next to me got up from her seat and another girl took her place.I didn't notice who she was or what she was having in her hand until she asked me whether we have reached CMH Road(the stop where she wanted to get down). She never looked at me while asking this question. I felt something abnormal in her.Then I realised that she was a blind girl!!I was a bit shocked and surprised seeing the life that she was leading. Despite being blind she travelled travelled alone and just used one stick for assistance. She sought the help of any stranger who came her way to reach her destination. She was proabably going to some blind school or for work.She travelled like a normal person, all alone.She got down at the same stop where I got down. Then she just started asking for the directions to reach her place jus looking straight.She kept on repeating the same words till someone heard that and came to her help.Since I was nearby that day, I took her to the road where she wanted to go. On the way there was a tender coconut seller and near him there was another blind man sitting. The tender coconut seller called the girl and took her to the blind man, then both of them left to the place wherever they wanted to go. This was my first encounter with a special girl who was leading a normal life despite being blind.It was really touching. I was admiring her courage and boldness. I was wondering how she was able to trust her fellow travellers for her directions.I 'm too skeptical about talking to strangers or asking for any address to them.The very thought runs chills down my spine. But she is used to it .May be she has some special characteristics that we normal people don't have to distinguish between good and bad people.She might be following her instincts to trust some people and go in the directions they tell.That's why people with inabilities are called as special people since they have some special abilities. Unlike us she has to rely on strangers and trust them.Hope she always finds her way correctly with the help of trustworthy people around her.It just made me feel small.
This just sparked another thought in my mind...Aren't we also blind in a way despite having a perfect eyesight. We are blind towards so many things in life when we are insensitive and fail to help such poeple with inabilities, when we are insenitive to other people's feelings, like our own family members, friends or colleagues.We have our own reasons for being like this. But wouldn't it be better if we can open our eyes a bit and start looking at things around us with our mind's eyes too??

Just a thought?!

You might be wondering why such a post all of a sudden. A post just to talk about thoughts!?
I just wanted to write something and break the hiatus from writing. So just wrote whatever struck my mind at that moment.In other words just translated my thoughts into words or action.And now I feel good.. I feel accomplished!! I now understand the importance of nurturing good thoughts and converting them into actions.

Thoughts!!

As I write this post, lots of thoughts are fluttering in my mind.Some thoughts just randomly come and go about the various happenings around me. Some thoughts about the next work at hand,thoughts about what to cook for dinner, weekend plan and so on.Some thoughts about incidents that happened way back in my childhood and other thoughts going to the other extreme of the timeline,thoughts about parents ,husband and about me growing old and having kids and me becoming a grandmother(Life is a cycle!!).Amidst all these thoughts about personal life, thoughts about my profession also peeps in and brings a host of other thoughts related to it in my mind....Ahh what a mind boggling machine this human brain is!! It is capable of generating so many thoughts in a fraction of a second, remember past, plan for future and take decisions and also be responsive to current happenings. The most wonderful of God's creation!! Isn't it?? Till now no technology is able to equal the human mind.May be one day our human brain will be able to make such robots that can think and act like us. I am jus getting reminded of the sci-fi movie Artificial Intelligence made by Steven Spielberg in which the scientists create a boy robot who can show unconditional love to his mother.The robot behaves exactly like a human boy. Unlike the robot's behaviour, it's the mother who is not able to accept the love of a robot and she trashes it in an electronic garbage yard. Years pass by ,the mother dies but the robot boy lives forever and still loves his mom(This is just a gist of the story). Can such a thing happen in reality in some distant future??Hmmmm..I'm still wondering if I can accept such technological advancements....certain things are best left to nature, right??!!

PS:Hey, jus now I noticed that my blog is also named as brainfaktory and this post would give a fitting explanation as to how the name originated.Simple... the brain is a like a factory generating millions of thoughts and ideas in our daily life and since this space is dedicated for sharing them , it' s called brainfaktory!!
