| Hi Folks |
 |
I think the new-age entrepreneurs are living every bit of Premji’s advice. While people may laugh at some of their audacious goals, they are laughing their way to the bank, given the eye-popping valuations. Nobody is complaining as long as the economy is fuelled with growth. The other audacity was AAP’s challenge to BJP in the Delhi polls and their eventual stunning victory versus |
| the audacity of Pakistan to dream of ‘bursting crackers’ since years on defeating the Indian cricket team at the World Cup – all of us know how foolhardy they were. |
| Well, audacious goals are a must to propel one to greater heights. Losing and winning is secondary. What is important is the effort that goes behind it, the planning and execution. None can beat the aero show aircrafts at this immaculate Planning, Practice and Performance. Yes, once again it is the Aero Show time in Bangalore this week and the aircrafts will be flying in their fully glory displaying grace and gallantry. It seems only yesterday that I had written about them and the ‘lone bird’ in our 76th issue and lo, Aero India, 2015 has arrived after 2 years ! |
| When we started compiling updates for this 123rd issue, we had only a couple of them worth sharing. Over the last week a few more were added making the read worth it, hopefully. PCSs can dream audaciously and form LLPs now ! Read about this… … … and more.
