        The title says it all. So I want to keep the post very small.         We humans have a qualities not many other animals can have. We are curious, we are ambitious, we are smart, we think, we fear , we regret and we fear regretting but the quality I am addressing in this post is we regret fearing .         We fear taking risks at right time and we don't act. We even fear changes, the changes that will happen if we made the risky choice. We ignore the thoughts that comes in our minds, only out of that fear. We fear that if we fail, we might get scolded by elders or spouse, we might regret later, we may loose money, time or respect by acting to the thoughts.

You have a technology solution and then you are finding out the problems it can solve. You should work on finding a problem first, then find a solution. This is what every mentor we met till date have told us. Though they are enlightening us the way startup industry works. But I have a different view about it. In problem first approach, first of all the problem must be worth solving. Secondly solving the problem must be feasible. Many problems worth solving are not solvable due to constraints and infeasibility. Just to over exaggerate, my biggest problem is the mistakes I did in the past that I regret. I want to correct them. For that I need to go back in the past and stop myself from doing them. So the solution is building a product which can take me back in time. I want to make a time machine. Lol. I work in a reverse way. I analyse myself about what I am capable of doing. I see for problems I can solve later.

When I left my college in 2009, like all other engineers even I had several things in mind to do. 1. Pursue further studies MBA or MS 2.

Learn technology as past time and take technology courses 6. Take extra curricular courses like dancing, playing guitar and travelling. 7. Write novel After leaving college since today (2015), I worked with many companies and I am currently with Housing.com, which is my 6th company in 6 years. 1. While I was in my first company Onmobile, I gave GRE and got a shit score in English, though I got full in Maths. I declared GRE is not my cup of tea, so will be GMAT and CAT. Point 1 ruled out. 2. All along I have been preparing for interview, my target was to prepare to crack Google interviews. I never got calls from Google, though I applied in their career site. Anyway I was never prepare...
