My Initiatives
I'm always interested in Kannada Literature. esp Dasa sahitya .I never thought earlier that I'll work on big things on my own.It all started step-by-step.After joined company as fresher,I had some free time and really thought of doing something..The point behind my ideas is
"How do I apply my skills to reach society?" .
"Is there anything that I can contribute to real world with whatever knowledge or resource that I have?"
The first idea came to me was to spread the knowledge of dasa-sahitya over online. Even though I'm not expert in Dasa-sahitya (LoL: (0.1)^100 expertise is my level) ,But I can share the information checking with expert people.Also I got to know that many people are looking for these information badly.
To Start with , what I thought is let me computreize the Varadesha dasara songs on net. Me and My dad (Swamirao Kulkarni) and My Sister (Tunga) could able to do that with some effort. We have done eventually "SwampnavrundavanaKhyana" ,"Varadeshadasara Jeevana Charitre" "Prahlad charite" .This has resulted in "Santikellur.com" . Stay Cool:)!!!. Website is self-funded and not so attractive.
Later On, I have updated with recordings of dasara-pada .(Santikellur.com -> Santikellur Recordings) and Some speeches of Triveni bai.
Still lot of work is pending and currently paused.It might resume back after 5-6 years.
llly I have started the Facebook page called "Hari dasaru" (facebook.com/sriharidasaru) to spread more information about dasa sahitya. Currently this page has more than 500 likes and for some other reason, I'm not working on it right now,somebody is monitoring it.
When I met lot of entrepreneurs who are very successful in their business,What I really found out is ,as some saying says , “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.” .So Its really important for me to work with others(interpersonal skills) and move along with them instead of just running alone. But I used to hardly mingle with others (kind of Shy nature). I never cared that about those skills which is most important than any technical skills and nobody taught me those.
As Stephen Covey says in "7 habits of highly effective people" book,
"Dependent people need others to get what they want. Independent people can get what they want through their own efforts. Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success ".
So to be able to work with others,there is change needed from inside-out.I thought I need to work on myself with somebody who is successful and interested in making my personality better.That's exactly what I'm working right now i.e Working on myself .
The reason I love myself is because I always chose to grow in life at any point of time with whatever situation I had and I wanted to have that consistent attitude of winning .
I'm working hard to make my dreams like
"Life of Significance"
"Living life with principles:"
"Impacting people in positive way"
"Great family life"
.....
...
...
...
...
..
..
...
come true. and I'll definitely make it.
But my interest always will be towards dasa-sahitya or Kannada literature and I can never separate from that.
