why iLiveHere?

After I started writing iLiveHere, I was asked by few of my friends, why about yourselves? why not general? why revealing the unstated? why not about others? If iLiveHere uncovers the secrets why not writing a regular post? Why am I occasional in writing?

Even more mind boggling was one of my good friend's line stating, "Write for self and have no public, write for public and have no self".

My god..what a heavy line is this!!!

I remember this line by heart, only to understand all the meanings hidden in it. I completely understand that, me writing this blog actually violates both the clauses in this line. :) I also confess, there are many more meanings in the line which are hidden and may not be demystified by my poor mind forever.

But following may be my genuine attempt of explaining all these 'why's

iLiveHere - is not only about what/how we cook, and four walls of my house.
It's about,
the minds and hearts,
second home of four idiots in Bangalore,
M's perception of the things happening,
how we conquer the issues,
giving and accepting feedbacks,
improving every sole,
overcoming reluctance to change,
adjustments,
not how we grow overnight but how we grow with every good experience and so is occasional,
learning to not fight every battle but to fight and win the war.

Finally this is about LIVING.

Talking general has never been interesting, and to add to it I am not a philosopher :)

I honestly don't know how to demarcate this writing. May be for public or for self.
After a thought I think this is rather for "public in ourselves" and also for "self in every public".

At iLiveHere [at home] we discuss and emphasize on entrepreneurship and ideas that will fly in market. We [though not frequently] also discuss about new technologies, and stories of entrepreneurs.

Just to supplement that I would share some of the discussions which have happened amongst ourselves.

Other day S, C and M were walking in their area at evening time. Then they realized that there is no Vada Pav center near by BTM. Digging a bit they also went ahead and thought about Goli Vada Pav bringing in BTM [they mean franchisee].

After discussing with N these four together realized that there can be many such things like even Subway isn't there near by and can bring a good entrepreneurship option for staring.

One fine evening M and N coming from MG Road, standing in front of FORUM Mall Kormangala, waiting for signal to get green. M told N that see the ad posters on Mall and these guys would be earning a lot from the poster only.
Then N said, " Yeah and why should I see the same ad on the poster for such a long time. We can make it digital and change it in every 30 seconds or so".
After some discussion, standing at the same point, we were literally calculating the budget and reachability of the posters, making them static content posters to digital screens.
Then N said we can fix LCD projectors for each poster and that will keep rolling the screens, which will bring down the cost of changing the paper screens every time subscription ends and many more places to cut the cost.

These and many more wild thoughts about softwares as well. I think these ideas can be very well converted to business model, if thought out properly.

So iLiveHere is like a factory of innovation and discoveries. May it be "Poha in Shudha ghee" or "LCD projectors at every big poster", which I think after sharing to public can be useful for others as well. Although it completely depends on the individual how to take it forward.
I think, this blog opens doors to personal lives of few future CEOs.

A few may (dis)agree, all of which iLiveHere takes positively.

iLiveHere continues with pride ...
