Read the book with the same title written by Subroto Bagchi, who is co-founder of Mindtree. The book describes his journey from his childhood in the interiors of Orissa to becoming the COO of Mindtree. Found it good, few take away points:
1. Don't hesitate to move on...
2. Communicate with people and stay connected *nokia helps*
3. Don't be afraid to start all over again
4. Respect your work
5. To receive something first give
6. All manifestations starts with a dream! Dream,Desire and Act
7. Respect people and their capabilities..don't condem
8. All business decisions are 99% emotional and 1% business
9. Work at any place as an entreprenur
10.Build a strong support system
11.Instead of trying to impress your boss, treat your subordinates well...they may actually lead to all the success.
12. And lastly go kiss the world...

Bidaai!!
Bidaai was a very alien concept to me as was marriage.The concept of marriage still got clearer when i met ashu, i knew i would love to spend my life with him.The concept of Bidaai was and is still strange, post marriage also i tried not to relive/rethink of the expierence and i cleverly deleted it physically (pics,videos,saree)from whereever i could possible do it. But it remained imbibed in my memory so strongly that it hits back at me whenever it can.
At a recent visit to my cousin's shaadi, the memories came back again and scared me again!
Bidaai means that you are no longer a part of the family you were born to, from now on you are free to use your husband's name, you will no longer have a space in the house where you have spent ages, you suddenly become a integral part of your husband's family and you have a set of parents there who you have to respect & love as parents without expecting them to reciprocate or without you having a right on them as you would have on your own parents. Is it a process of disowning daughter...changing the priorities for her and for the family. For the girl suddenly husband and his family is the priority!
Am sure it is difficult on parents as it is on the girl.For parents, their kid is everything, since the time the kid comes to the world their lives have revolved around the baby and suddenly they realise that no longer will the girl who was the centre of their life should be anymore be there for them!!
Strange are the ways of life!
