******* Newsletter to the members on 2nd May 2014 *******
Dear dear Rodinhoods!
SURPRISE!
This is your Jamadaar Alok speaking 🙂
I’m filling in for Asha who is holidaying & working & working and holidaying 🙂
I haven’t sent a newsletter out for months, so I dunno what to say 🙁
Hence, I’m using this chance to share an incident with you.
I met this guy at Mumbai Airport and was very enamored by his beard:
On the flight, I began thinking:
Aren’t entrepreneurs EXACTLY like this guy with the beard?
– Different from everyone else
– Gutsy enough to carry something so weird and unique
– Not bothered about ‘what people will say’
When I congratulated him on his ‘creation’, he looked bewildered. He said, “Wow, no one has ever complimented me before on this..”
Well, that’s so Entrepreneur – no one EVER compliments you for what you do!
This dude claimed he was on the way to the Himalayas / Hills – saying NO to the mad bad world and settling into a life of peace, quiet and fun.
While I wished him well, I would change my message for you.
DONT go away from the noise, the confusion, the pain, the burden, the challenge, the trauma, the daily Open Heart Surgery that you have to suffer.
STAY and SMILE.
Grow your own beard (!?), BE YOURSELF AND NEVER GIVE UP.
Make “GIVING UP” GIVE UP ON YOU.
Stay Blessed.
Dutifully yours,
Alok Rodinya Kejriwal
