Diwali Mubarak!

A while ago I read this anecdote in the Mumbai Mirror and it talked about a young man who had basically done better than his father did in the same business. When quizzed how did he manage that he said, "In life, it doesn’t matter how many Diwalis you’ve seen (Diwali being the start of a new financial year). It matters how many crackers you’ve burst."

Experience is obviously important but more important than that is the attitude it takes to be a go getter. Maybe someone has seen more sunrises than someone else - the only people who are successful are those who make the most of it till the next sunrise.

Happy Diwali and Idd Mubarak! May you burst more crackers and eat more sheerkurma than anyone else!
