how my daughter's behavior- did not stem from her not loving me but from her various pains that she was suffering and is still struggling with few - all these were caused because of my reckless decision.</li> <li>3.Then i could also understand that she is very loving and also very mature - but is not expressive as she shows her love and care though subtle gestures. </li> <li>4.I also realized that this is also a reflection of how the nature makes you experience the same feelings - that you have made others go-through. </li></ul> <p><b data-redactor-tag="b">DEATH of few other relationships - the pains and the changes</b></p> <ul><li>1.These made me start writing on Quora - where I got 2 million plus views </li> <li>2.Then I created 250+ videos on YouTube on self-help </li> <li>3.Almost all my sensual-relationships -

I have decided they are not someone I will look-up-to anymore</li></ul> <p><b data-redactor-tag="b">DEATH of my earlier ideals and beliefs</b></p> <ul><li>1.After seeing the miseries people suffered in India during covid19 1st and 2nd waves plus correlating with similar miseries since the beginning of human-life -

they are part of the whole story</li> <li>2.Immediately after I finished my post-graduation - my father had to quit working because of his much troubling angina.</li> <li>3.He got a lump-sum amount of rupees 1.5lacs from his employer in 1984 as gratuity for his life's work - there was no other deposits or savings [or any other property or asset - for all 5 of us - me, my parents and two sisters who were in college and whose studies were still funded by my father]. </li> <li>4.Because he always wanted to start a poultry-farm - we decided to start a poultry farm and went to a place called Jhansi which has a cantonment and is surrounded by many big army-cantonment in nearby towns.</li> <li>5.I assumed [under the arrogance of recent graduates - with know-it-all air] that because army is a big-consumer [under the arrogance of qualification - wrongly of-course] - we will be overnight-success and our business cannot fail.</li> <li>6.We did not do any surveys or even talked to people in army who were supposed to be our target-customer - or other poultry-farm owners mistake number 1 in hindsight</li> <li>7.Did not even doing the retail market study - my mistake number 2 in hindsight.</li> <li>8.Then i invested almost 60% of the aforesaid amount in constructing the farm - [on a land owned by someone I knew - who said that he does not need this land and that we can have this land for free - I accepted with full trust - without signing any documents and agreements or contracts [what he said fully without even having any doubt that the words are fully reversible] - my mistake number 3 in hindsight </li> <li>9.Then we started running the poultry farm - mind you none of us knew anything about what to do or have consulted any expert or taken any training my mistake number 4 in hindsight</li> <li>10.We kept on experimenting - which proved to be very expensive financially for us</li> <li>11.Then only after we invested in construction and got the chicks - and started running the farm - I focused on marketing - my mistake number 5 in hindsight [marketing should have been the first thing to do even before we thought of spending any amount]</li> <li>12.Then when i landed in Jabalpur - where the army-tenders are floated - I found two things to my horror - one that there is a big-mafia [who threatened me openly to go back or face dire-consequences] plus that the cost the army is getting the supply is almost three-times our cost [because we fed the most expensive and balanced food to our chickens].</li> <li>13.I came back and decided to go for retail selling - again the cost was more than our selling price and at last we started our own shop - but because of not knowing how to manage staff they stole us blind.</li> <li>14.After 2 years our total deposit of money reached to Rupees 5,000/- with day-to-day expenses to take care and both the sister's marriage also had to be managed.</li> <li>15.When we asked for the money for our construction - the person who owned the land refused </li> <li>16.Then I started applying and within 3 months manage to land a job with general motors inmiddle east - and I left my parents and sisters with Rupees 5,000/- total amount to manage their expenses.</li></ul> <p><b data-redactor-tag="b">18 highlights of my journey as an employee -

got introduced to many top decision-makers - although I could not even recover even half the amount I invested - instead I spent lots of money while marketing - from my savings of that time</li> <li>9.But two of these small-medium business owners -
