Experiential Learning's Series Is Coming Soon
Experiential learning is the process of making meaning from direct experience. So i am trying to read and gather as much information as i can and put into use. Most of my writings are based on the concept of Experiential Learning's and i am trying to find people who put this concept into use in their daily life. Once i have enough info and people to learn from i will kick start off.

Blogging Is Back InMy Life
I sold my last blog which i made on blogspot. I see it no more.... on the internet. It is fully gone and lost in the depth's of internet. Tomorrow is my Birthday and i am coming with my own personal blog on my own domain. Will announce the blog name once i am satisfied with it as still there is some amount of work to be done. I wanted to say that from today i will blog when ever i feel like and see to that i provide value to world with it.
I decided to spend very little time on social and professional networking sites as they consume most of my precious time. There are couple of people who inspired me to start again first indiblogger.in if i haven't gone for their meeting i haven't realized how i keep learning and not contributing back. Next i thank Blogadda.com if i haven't gone there i would have not read the interview of Poonam Sharma and 20 best indian bloggers.
Overall these people oiled wrusty gun which is going to trigger. That quote is funny but it's the truth. To night i am going to launch my blog and you can find the launch post here.
PS..Thinking of my activity on twitter. Need to limit it too so that i can concentrate on many other activities. Once in a while i keep peeping but not regular like now...Any way keep a watch for my new blog URL Digg | del.icio.us | Stumble Upon | Facebook | Technorati | Reddit | YahooMyWeb |

Ray of Hope For The Disabled
I was just going through the blog posts done by Poonam Sharma and in top posts I saw the following title "Ray of hope for the disabled" and I thought to read as I closely work with PWD. In that post she explains how she came across an article posted in reader's digest and she portrayed it wonderfully. But there is still some thing missing I thought to my self. This happens only in those developed countries as I don't see so much of awareness in Indian's at least. I don't mean all but most of them do not have basic sense of how to deal with PWD. The other day when I was trying to find a shop I saw a person walking with a white cane. I saw a well educated person helping him, but in a wrong way. Instead of catching his hand he is catching the other end of the cane and guiding him.
This is really pathetic the boy is using the cane as he cannot see and cane is his Eye's and I see this person catching his cane instead of hand catching his cane. In fact he is not even guiding properly, if he can use his common sense for a minute he might have helped the visually impaired person well. A small amount of thinking makes lot of difference. So I request all, if you come across any visually impaired person don't hold his cane for god sake, hold his hand.
Poonam’s blog post is here
http://alchemistpoonam.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/ray-of-hope-for-the-disabled/
PWD refers to people with disability.
I am going to make a case study of my experiences being differently abled and working with differently abled. That's a new name given to Disabled group. It's not they cannot do the work, but they do it in a different way.
Ideas can be stolen but not the brain
After writing something about the blogadda and alchemist poonam I thought I will get back to my way of expressing and viewing the world. I was just recollecting what good took place during 2009 and how much better those happenings can be made. Like a lightening I remembered a quote “Ideas can be stolen but not Brain”. This I learned when I was working as a HR Consultant and my MD told this to me when we were discussing a Business plan. I have no idea what he meant, but today when I turn back and see my life as a business man yes he meant it. Couple of my ideas already exists. Will that stop me from thinking or will I have to learn something from those ideas; the answer is to learn from those ideas.
There is always a term called R and D. It’s not Research and Development, its Rip-off and Duplicate. If you can rip-off and duplicate the system and make it much better than what it is now you are a winner. People se the unique ness in a business plan all the time, but they lack to identify what efforts were put to write it, think about it, Research etc. Its time for me to start my business plan on a paper and try to make it much better day by day by adding value.
I say to myself I did not find a potential partner to start any venture. But today I am wrong I found them but not suitable. When I met any of my previous venture partners its only idea which excites them. There is a lot to start any venture. Some leave you in middle, some will Rip-off and duplicate the system, some tries to knock you out etc. It’s not a problem until you stand and keep the spirit alive. The brain has got an ability to think and generate ideas which worth, the only thing we have to keep in mind is to how we can do much better than last time and what we learned from those experiences.
I have done couple of ventures and I don’t say I am a failed entrepreneur; it is taking me many steps to make it work for me. The day I call I am failed I am dead in terms of thinking, executing, striving etc towards any of my goals. It happens with all say’s Karthik from Indiblogger.in. I felt why I all the time and today I teach never ask you that stupid question “WHY ME OR WHY I”. Its just learning’s which can teach me something but not frustration, anger, fear and sorrow. If any one just thinks like a Research Scientist and says “INTERESTING” for any small happening in life, yes we made life more easier, simplified and we have a precious gift called Peace which can be never stolen.
My next post is going to be on
PS…Some one asked Edison, you failed thousands of time during the invention of bulb. Edison laughed and replied saying it took so many steps to make this happen.
Digg | del.icio.us | Stumble Upon | Facebook | Technorati | Reddit | YahooMyWeb |Blogadda.com Reminds me
I tried to submit my link in the directory but unable to process due to various reasons. During that course of time i tried to find how to get the rss feed only using my screen reader. Infact i was successful in a way, but still i was unable to process the submission. Later i thought i will quit and get away from that site, but there is a link which grabbed my attention "Interview with Poonam". I was not interested at first but still i thought to give it a try. The interview was really good lot of new things can be learnt from it. Its her life, her views and her interview, but there is something which is addressing to the society and world. This is catchy and i thought to myself it was 3 yrs before i started my blog and stopped blogging too. There is this lady who is blogging and very successful.
I asked myself what is that stopped you from blogging Satish and the answer is lying in front of me. It was fear, shyness, my disability etc.
i was feared of people will laugh at my language. I was not good either in talking or writing english. I improved in talking, but there is a lot to learn. When it comes to my writing i have no clue today also. Some others have to give me a feedback.
I was a shy boy so that stopped me to blog about something which i liked. I thought when i cannot say it's me who did this post, i thought its waste to blog.
My disability stopped me from blogging too. There is technology but there was no accessability of websites during that time. The advanced technology of screen readers is allowing me to post something now, but in those days i was not aware of how to use those tools effectively.
After reading the interview i understood that its not language which engages the reader but the feel and expression, how effectively we are delivering the message. I am sorry i don't have the link of the interview, but you can google "alchemist poonam" and get it on blogadda.
Today i dare to make a mistake and learn from it. Digg | del.icio.us | Stumble Upon | Facebook | Technorati | Reddit | YahooMyWeb |
What you can learn from this video?
No idea if video plays or not as i am also a illiterate in these things. So let me try and learn this new thing. Digg | del.icio.us | Stumble Upon | Facebook | Technorati | Reddit | YahooMyWeb |

Learn Every Day….How Is It Possible
Yesterday when I was traveling back from office I was thinking to myself, if anyone asks us “How was your day” we reply good, hectic or not so cheerful. But I see that people don’t try to see what are the learning’s that they got on that day, we take things for granted…….Yes its true we don’t observe the small changes either good or bad which happens in our life and move a head.
I use the term we as I see that majority of them don’t observe this, so I thought to put WE instead of I. This is from the perspective of few people and about few people who fall under this category. I would like to take an example and explain how things work psychologically if you don’t train your brain and mind power properly.
I was supposed to go to office at 1:30 pm and my cab picks me at 2 pm for what ever reason. So now I am in a situation where I am desperate of going to office and finishing the work fast. I am also frustrated and angry on the cab driver, but I cannot express so I am thinking of taking this to higher authorities. This is a general tendency of any one who is late or desperate. But in that desperation I forgot to inform my Manager that I will be late and will not be able to come for the meeting on time. So if anyone observes the situation our frustration, desperation and excitement has killed the basic sense or made me forget about basic work ethics.
So what is the solution and what are my learning’s for this situation, I must inform my manager that I will be late and if asked, give him the reason. Keep yourself cool and try to think from the point of cab driver and transport facilitator. If you can get into the brain and life of the other person it will be easy for us to understand any problem, situation and we can deal with it in easier way than what we did in the example.
A lot of learning’s can be taken from that example, so if people can put their comments and tell me what they learned I will be posting my thoughts and analysis on them.
This example is taken just for a study purpose and not intended to target any personal, group or company. I am not responsible as this is a basic thought process and is not taken from any individual or company and not intended to target any one.
PS...I have not forgotten of my upcoming Blog. It’s on its way and most of the things are ready.

Emotions kill the Business…Decision Making is Tough
This is going to my extra ordinary case study in my upcoming blog. I am going to walk through a couple of case studies which will give a clear picture how a startup fails to build the trust, relation and act strategically. These case studies are taken out from other budding entrepreneurs and as well as my own experiences with some of the startups. The cycological analysis will be done from my point and warrior point of view, so that we try to understand scenario and take learning’s out of them.
These posts are not intended to target anyone indirectly and none of the names will be taken out here. The first case study is how a 22yrs old boy started off with a "Digital Media Marketing" company by partnering with couple of people and finally where he landed and what are his learning’s, what we can learn from it and how we can do much better than him. This is a case study is being narrated like a story and will walk through the complete history of How he met his partner and what happened with him and the company later”.
Couple of funny names was given to the characters so that we can hide the real identities, so that it doesn’t create any problem to anyone. Any questions…… put them in comments section; we will try to answer our best.
PS….. We are going to publish the E-Mail transactions between the Boy and the Partner, Company and who ever is involved for him to leave.

Bangalore Blogger's Meet 2010 by Indiblogger.in
I just came back from a wonderful Blogger’s meet which is the first Blogger’s meet in
The place was a wonderful restaurant named Potluck which has got a wonderful terrace garden and I think its one of the best vegetarian restaurant’s which I have gone. The place was offered by “Birla” and he is the founder of www.asklaila.com a website focused on local search. Pakoda, tea and cofee was served for free and i think it was a nice combination for the Bangalore Evening.
I cannot explain more about the place as I was not able to make out clearly. We had a nice time introducing ourselves, people were pulling the legs of co bloggers and lot of fun activity took place during that time. There were blogger's who blog on different markets like media, politics, seo, tech, social mediaetc.... Some even run more than 2-3 blogs. and all of them got a different style of introducing themselves and i am sure they have got a diversified style of writing too.
After the introductions were done we then moved on to topics like page rank, getting more visitors and how google is treating backlinks, content duplication etc. Mohan, Vijay shared their view on these aspects and couple of other participents shared some valuable information.
The indiblogger.in community shared how indirank is calculated and how indiblogger is adding features to their portal which will help the blogger's. to reach more readers and know their market.
When we are done with the meet i have given my suggestions to indiblogger.in people and even though i haven't said bye to all i tried to cover most of them. Sometimes its really frustating as i would want to shake hands with all of them and i have to keep to myself as i am relying on other person to move around. Need to find a solution for this kind of problem so that my reach extends.
All those whom i haven't met personally can catch me on twitter-www.twitter.com/raghavasatish
