  I recently had the good fortune of visiting one of Pune's finest educational institutions, I2IT at Hinjewadi. This was thanks to the efforts of Dr. Mohan Naidu who kind enough to invite me and address the students. As a token of appreciation I received a book, the Autobiography of Mr. P.P. Chhabria, founder of the Finolex Group .  I must admit that I am a lazy reader, especially when it comes to books, being biased towards articles and blogs, mainly due to their brevity.  And to my utter surprise I completed reading the book end to end over 250 pages in less than 48 hours.  The story of Mr. Chhabria sounds straight out of a Hindi potboiler. But one must realise that it's true. Born with a silver spoon and losing his father at a tender age, forced to mop and sweep the floor of a shop and moving about in a rented bicycle can be a life destroying and devasting experience for most people.  But for P.P as he was fondly addressed made it a stepping stone to success....

But have you ever wondered what sets apart those who thrive from those who struggle? The answer lies in their ability to master their emotions and emotional world.

Redefining Selfishness: A Path to Prosperity and Betterment of Mankind Introduction: In a world that often vilifies selfishness, it might seem counterintuitive to suggest that it can be a force for good and contribute to the betterment of humanity. The traditional notion of selfishness revolves around a lack of consideration for others, but let's delve deeper to discover a different perspective on this controversial trait. The Conventional View: Moral science textbooks and societal norms have long taught us that putting ourselves before others is morally wrong. In democratic and socialist setups, self-interest is often perceived as a criminal act, and the idea of living solely for one's benefit is frowned upon. The ideal of leading a life of humility, sacrificing personal desires for the greater good, has been ingrained in the minds of generations. The Unintended Outcome: Despite the widespread acceptance of this selfless ideal, it has not necessarily translated into the prospe...
