Sometime back, I casually asked my colleague Sunil N, 'what's up for the weekend?'
He said he's attending something special, a book launch! And thanks to him, I got a copy of the book Nenapinangala.
The book is about late Ramesh Pattar, who was a popular government official, living true to 'Government's Work is God's Work'. Common people loved him.
Apart from serving the people through various positions he held, he also indulged in literature, writing plays, poems & stories which show his dynamic personality.
Coming from a middle class family, working his way up on his own, having experienced village life from close quarters, his writings reflect his social consciousness.
After he passed away, son Ravindra Pattar who loves his father immensely collected all his writings, brought out as a book along with photographs & opinions.
Right from the cover page design, to layout & content, just like Ramesh Pattar's life & his son's love for him, the book is special.

SIMPLY FLY
To put it succinctly, I had thought of Gopinath as 'an eccentric who built a low cost loss making airline by chance'
Boy, I couldn't be more wrong!
One fine day I tripped on this link
One line just struck me hard:
"ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಕೆಲಸದ ಹೆಂಗಸು ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿಯಿಂದ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಕೇವಲ ಐನೂರು ರೂ. ತೆತ್ತು ಡೆಕ್ಕನ್ ವಿಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಂದ ಕತೆಯನ್ನು ರಸವತ್ತಾಗಿ ನಾಲ್ಕೈದು ತಿಂಗಳವರೆಗೆ ಮನೆಗೆ ಬಂದವರ ಮುಂದೆಲ್ಲ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದಳು. ಅವಳ ಪಾಲಿಗೆ ಈ ಜನ್ಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಸಾಧ್ಯವೆನಿಸುವ ಕನಸೊಂದು ನನಸಾಗಿತ್ತು."
(Sorry non-Kannada folks - no translation of the article/above line)
A farmer who built an airlines company & made common man fly - must be a mesmerising read, I thought and bought the book.
SIMPLY FLY - A Deccan Odyssey by Captain GR Gopinath
A village boy, went on to join military, quit and took to farming in a barren land to the horror of many, eventually winning awards for ecological farming, pioneering silk farming and then venturing into bike service station chain, stock brokerage firm, Udupi hotel chain, irrigation, agriculture consultancy, helicabs (!), Air Deccan, cargo airline, apart from a failed political venture... (yes the list will go on!)
From him fighting a war, to hitchhiking in US, safari in Africa, travelling in Europe, it's a travelogue, an adventure novel as much as an autobiography. From the boy who rode a bullock cart, to the man who built an airlines company, it's an endearing & enduring saga of great human spirit.
According to Peter Drucker, A true entrepreneur is the one who creates wealth where it did not exist earlier by creating a new market and a new customer. They create something new, something different; they change and transmute values; and, on a size and scale that will impact society.
And Air Deccan as we knew may not exist any more, but there is no doubt that it changed Indian Aviation forever and made the common man fly.
Few stories from the book are entrenched in my memory
- When in army, an adventurous kidnap of his female friend to avoid her forced arranged marriage!
- A touching incident, when Manje Gowda - his friendly neighbor pledged his farm for Gopi when every one else had doubted him.
- Hilarious episode of trying to use Donkeys' services to water the farm!
- Some great heartwarming stories like a) Kaavya who took her father for a helicopter ride on his 60th Birthday with all her savings or b) Manjunath, humiliated by village folks in childhood, left the village, studied & made a life in US, took a sweet revenge by coming back landing a helicopter in his field in the village!
- His candor when he explains his first visit to Vijay Mallya's house as 'how he felt like a village boy entering a big city'.
The story which's very much Indian common man's, with earthly wisdom, gentle humor, is told with such flair that it has an edge-of-the-seat feel!
Undoubtedly one of the most enriching books I have read recently.
And here's the link to a piece that's printed at end of the book too.

This should be on Twitter?
Over the weekend
Read Parva - Interesting.
Half way through - Inside Steve's Brain - Steve Jobs surely thinks different
Spotted, fiat 500 - Cute

Presentation Zen
Isn't it pain to sit through everyday presentations where the bullet points are read from slide after slide? Why is the presenter required, when you can read it yourself? Moreover, reading and listening at the same time distracts you, that’s if you are awake!
But that’s the easiest way, in the form of ppt you have the handout, document for later reference and also no preparation required since you always have the ppt to fall back on and read through.
Sounds ridiculous? But that's how 99 out 100 presentations are done and unfortunately that's how we present too.
Because that's normal practice!
While it's easy to fall into this trap, here comes a masterpiece.
It says use slides as visual aid. Don’t be used by the tool, use it.
While those innumerable features, like arrows, bullets, cheesy clip arts and sound etc can be blamed for forcing these bad habits to an extent, you still can improve and be different says Garr Reynolds the author of Presentation Zen.
Zen is about simplicity of life, presentation is an art.
This beautiful book has the following sections.
Introduction: Presenting is transfer of emotions, in today’s ‘Conceptual Age’ where right brain thinking is as/more important than left brain thinking.
Preparation: Start with a childlike wonder/enthusiasm. Do not force thoughts, take time away, solitude energizes your creativity. Then plan analog, use pen & paper/whiteboard and let the ideas flow.
What’s your point, why does it matter?
Think from audience’s point of view, keep asking ‘so what’ while you prepare.
Design: Simplicity is the key, learn from the comics. Lengthy is better, is so old school, use pictures, tell a story, cut the fluff and leave audience wanting more.
Delivery: ’The highest level of martial and spiritual skill is only attainable through No Mind’. Be totally present in the moment, connect with the audience, be passionate and more importantly lighten up.
Next step: The journey begins.
When presenting about pollution in your city, what is better
a) Four bullet points about pollution data
or
b) Photo of bunch of dead birds, and talk give this information enclosed in four bullets.
If the answer’s b), then this book’s for you.
I guess the book's not in India yet, being a fan of his blog I managed to get a copy. The least you can do is to go here.

The life of man upon earth is a warfare
The 33 strategies of war by Robert Green 'From the bloody battles of history, strategies for winning the subtle social game of everyday life', the book’s sinfully charismatic.
It’s a distillation of the timeless wisdom contained in the lessons and principles of warfare. The strategic ideal in the war - being supremely rational and emotionally balanced, striving to win with minimum bloodshed and loss of resources - has infinite application and relevance to our daily battles.
Drawing on incidents from history and then taking you through the minds of greatest strategists, this brilliant book, helps you with insights, from grey areas to classic dilemma of life 'to hold on or to move on?'. From basic classical warfare to the dirty, unconventional strategies of modern times, and not just from warfare but also from sports, politics and business, the book has it all and the strategies can be applied to struggles of every scale: organized warfare, business battles, and politics of a group, even personal relationships. This is not a ‘how to’ book, instead it presents with so many ideas with examples that each gets to choose his own.
The book has 33 chapters each devoted to a strategy and divided into five sections under
1. Self-Directed Warfare
2. Organizational (Team) Warfare
3. Defensive Warfare
4. Offensive Warfare
5. Unconventional (Dirty) Warfare.
The last section is the longest and most relevant!
Well, we live in interesting times :-)

Zen and the Art of Systems Analysis
There’s a real world with sunshine and rain, laughter and tears, beauty and horror, and someday it will all end. But in the meantime we need to develop systems that work in that real world.
The book, Zen and the Art of Systems Analysis – Meditations on Computer Systems Development by Patrick McDermott, is opposite of academic-read it to open your mind to see different, and get out of the box.
Here’s some abstract
Yin and Yang are represented by the dark and light areas in the circle. There is a little piece of light in the dark, and vice versa. This is because there is always a little bit of Yin in every Yang; there is light within dark, strong within the weak, good in evil, and vice versa. These Yin Yang pairs are sometimes called opposites, but that is not accurate- they are actually complementary. One could not exist without the other.
Likewise, your system will need to blend business with technology, people with machines and analysis with design if it is to succeed.
And that’s the whole point of my interest in Systems Analysis!
Chapters consider the essence of Analysis, Design, Consulting, Business, Economics, Culture, Methodology, and Modeling. If you want to ponder the significance of information systems analysis in the scheme of the universe, this book is for you.
The best line? One of the Guiding Principles that underlie Systems Analysis and this book 'There are many ways to the Mountaintop'

A thought, on self help books!
There are so many of them out there, and considering they get sold in large numbers, if they really worked, majority of people in this world would have been success stories by now:-)
(Just kidding, some of them might actually help)
For otherwise 'free advice' lot of money though, makes me think of writing one!
How about this title?
Whatever: How to master the art of being jack of quite a few things

The Dip by Seth Godin
Quit the wrong stuff
Stick with the right stuff
Have the guts to do the one or the other
Sound simple, huh? But whether it’s your job, relationship, a new skill or any situation in everyday life, like a queue in an ATM, we know how tough it is to differentiate and act.
That’s what makes The Dip interesting. Illustrations by Hugh MacLeod, add the punch.
Seth says just enough, in his own inimitable, irreverent style, in this fun little book.

The High-Performance Entrepreneur
The High-Performance Entrepreneur: Golden Rules for Success in Today's World by Subroto Bagchi
It's a must read for anybody with an iota of interest in entrepreneurship, and also any one who's working/thinking of working/worked for a startup. Yeah, it's kind of focused on building a large enterprise (read, like MindTree) and the chapters(18 of them) might feel little discontinuous. But Bagchi strikes a chord, with his simple narrative/story telling style of writing. Make no mistake it's not a romantic take on entrepreneurship. It's a brutally honest at the same time well meaning, candid & compelling read. Kind of must have manual. Each of 18 chapters are just plain awesome and I really can't highlight a line or two here, since the book's full of highlights. Let me just post the interesting stuff in the end!
The Last Word
You did not read a 'how to' book before you fell in love. Yet, in some ways, the books on romance may have helped.
You really don't need to read this book – for that matter any book- to start your own enterprise.
And lest I forget, no amount of reading about romance is equal to the act of falling in love. Like many books on romance, I hope this one will only help you in some small way every now and then. But remember, the actual experience is in the enactment.
So, go on and do it.

A piece of E=mc2...
E=mc2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation is a good read.
Maintains a fine balance between science and history without dwelling too much into details of both!
It's not just about Einstein or E=mc2 .Rather it explains in simple words what led(read, inventions and lives of other scientists) to the equation E= mc2 and then what the equation led to.
This piece best describes the mood of the book.
What guided Einstein was that, in his mid-twenties he found the unknown intriguing. He felt compelled to comprehend what might have been intended for our Universe by The Old One(as he referred to his notion of God).
"We are in a position," Einstein explained alter, "of a little child entering a huge library, whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in so many different languages.
The child knows someone must have written those books does not know who or how.It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend but only dimly suspects."

Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana...
As I was shifitng to new location, I just came across "Bhagavadgeetha As It Is by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada" a classic of world literature, in my collection of books.
I had skimmed through it long back.I still remember the line that has the spirit/essence of the whole book for me.
"You have a right to perform your prescribed action,but you are not entitled to the fruits of your action.
Never consider yourself the cause of the results your activities,and never be associated to not doing your duty."
(Translated from Sanskrit:-"Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani")
How simple and how relevant even today.I think if Bhagavadgeetha is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom , its because of Karma Yoga.You rarely find spiritual books/Gurus laying emphasis on doing your work.
Thats exactly what Krishna says here.Always do your best without expecting the results and you will be happy.
How beautiful...

What not to do in college...
Recently I read the book 'Five point someone, What not to do at IIT' by Chetan Bhagat.
It tells nothin much about IIT, no preachin or fundas...just takes u bak to those college days, of pure fun...messing up...exam tension in the last minute...vivas...most will surely recall those days...!
All the folks hu njoyed DCH will love this one too...though at times...its not in the same class...
It was pretty long since I found something so stimulating...I read it in one shot...270 pages of pure fun...
Sample lines here...
"He took out a chalk from his pocket with a flourish celluloid terrorists reserved for hand-granades and underlined the word mechines approximately 6 times"
"There are times in life you wish dinosaurs weren't extinct and could be whistled to come and gulp you down."
"Like a trained pet, I got up from the seat opposite and sat next to her.Girls have this power to turn Mary, making lambs out of people."
"Maan, 4 years of freaking crazines to get a degree, and when the time came to collect, Ryan and I sat in our pajamas circling our paranthas with dabs of butter.I really don't deserve this degree"
:-)
Read some more here

@ 95 bucks it's a steal... complete timepass...
Though in the end I felt I could have easily written better one with all those days of college...!
