My speech on the occasion of inauguration as CHIEF GUEST at intercollege festival at Kautilya Vidyalaya,Mysore


Hi friends
I consider it fortunate to interact with you today on the occasion of Kautilya Intercollege youth festival. On this momentous occasion I hail the power of youth!! The fountain of boundless energy unleashed!!!

It is said “ You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough.

“ one thing that is…. Incredibly, inordinately, devastatingly, immortally, calamitously, hearteningly, adorably beautiful….is youth.

You are the future of this country. You have aspirations. Hopes , dreams..to be realized to go on to the top of the world.

It is said your success lies in your dreams. SO go to sleep….DONT ..wake up , live up and work hard ..to realize your dreams, every second. Become obsessed with achieving it and be excited to find the right path quickly.

It is so important to be focused in life. If this is wasted then it is like you have been derailed from the journey of success and achievement oriendted pathways in life.

It is said if you work hard the first 25 years of your life..you can enjoy for the rest of your life. Doing mere signatures. Or else you write big notes.(clerk) So this time is so so precious for you.

Academics..excellence..achievement..cocurricular activities..that should be your motto. If this time is wasted . it is going to derail you forever..for these things lead to regret later… a cool sigh… a lost dream …a disappointment.. I do not think anyone deserves it.

I think all of us are equally intelligent..it may be specific to an area..but remember whatever you do excel..be the best. Be an achiever in life. Once you achieve this platform the world looks so beautiful ….. that you can be a role model for others.
Some people are so confused . It is said “I wish I was given a map of life when I was born, Just wanna be sure where I am headed now...” This is a lack of focus.
Life in the end is a sumtotal of missed and utilized opportunities.So if you miss the bus at the opportune time..you have missed gravely in life….your level later on..or at what stature you would be.
It is said that Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
Don’t be like this. Have a rough plan for your life and career.
And my emphasis is on you for excelling now..being totally focused..obsessed…avoiding all distractions totally…remember any distraction are your gravest enemies..if you lose your focus and keep on losing it you are doomed for life.

Maybe you are very bright but the brightness fades away quickly ,gets clouded, and dissipates in the wrong company. So a very bright talent goes down the drain. Irreparable damage. Lost for ever. For the right time for it to nurture is so important.

I quote “I was born to be a pessimist. My blood type is B Negative”
Don’t be !!!
It is very important to be positive and be among positive people. Nothing is impossible if you are motivated to achieve. It is a threshold that you have to cross. Once you do…I can say even you do not know your limits. Sometimes you get surprised about your extents.

It is said that “The Life is an invisible curve,Go and face everything.”

You can choose your vocation or become a bureaucrat like me.It is said that “The only thing which saves us from the bureaucracy is its inefficiency.”

Become a fanatic for achieveing. It is said that “A fanatic is one who won't change his mind and won't change the subject.” Such should be your level of commitment for achieving and efforts to excel.

There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.work work and work and achieve. Go on top.

Never argue with a person who discourages your dreams.Arguing with a such a person is like wrestling in the mud with a pig. Sooner or later you figure out that nothing happens to you but the pig seems to enjoy it.


It is hard to convince a high-school student that he will encounter a lot of problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry. So life begins after degree..after your graduation ..real struggle begins..the 2-3 years after you graduate..for interviews.competetions all are going to decide your fate…so the effort that you put in now is going to decide your stature.


Isnt it true…Little children, have headache; big children, have heartache. So no distractions.
Orelse parents may learn this..it is said “The best way to keep children at home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant, and let the air out of the tyres.”

Some tortures are physical...And some are mental,..But the one that is both..Is dental.

Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them.
Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.
A race horse that consistently..runs just 1 second faster..than others is worth millions of dollars more......
Don’t compromise on 2nd position in life.
The moment you flip a coin, you know what your
decision is. not because of the side it landed, but because in the few
seconds the coin was in the air, you knew what you wanted.


Go and grab the world..it is waiting for you with baited breath.
