[Goanet] REWIND: The Goa hypothesis (From The Ken, 2016)
The Goa hypothesis Sumanth Raghavendra, 2 Nov 2016 MonteCarlo-930x400.jpg Read a 200 word free summary. HIDE SUMMARY Most people go to Goa to decelerate. Gourav Jaswal wants to accelerate. In the year 2000 after the then $1.5 billion internet and media giant Ziff-Davis invested in Jasubhai Digital Media, a company he had grown from one to 150 people, Gourav, 44, moved lock, stock and barrel from Mumbai to Goa. His choice was probably questionable at the best of times, but particularly so, as this was the first time he was ever going to the city. Gourav had no business plan, no investment, no co-founders. Over the next decade, he sequentially catalyzed what became a mini-cluster of services companies. These companies were bootstrapped and profitable from inception and continue to thrive. They include SCREENROOT which focuses on digital interaction design; SYNAPSE which specializes in business communication and VISUAL JUJU that’s focused on multimedia. Then, in 2014, Gourav decided to set up PROTOTYZE, a startup incubator. Startups are a hit-driven business – of the thousands of startups that get launched every year, only a small fraction of them succeed in any sense. One way to battle this dynamic is to launch and build not one but multiple startups in parallel – a startup incubator. Apart from the obvious “derisked” portfolio approach, where the incidental risks are spread over many startups rather than just one, there are also benefits around capital efficiencies, go-to-market acceleration and centralized systems and processes that abstract away common startup failure points. The most famous startup incubator that operates in India is arguably ROCKET INTERNET, the German-based startup factory, that follows a geo-cloning model – pick a hot startup from an advanced market like the US and build “fast followers” clones of these startups in markets that still haven’t cottoned on to these emerging trends. Rocket’s startups in India include the likes of FoodPanda and Jabong. >From The Ken, paywalled. 2016

[Goanet] Dawn of old age
Dawn of old age Rarely anyone expects to gladly usher in old age at the horizon of youthful stage.The prospects of onset of this stage in life is pushed to the background as far as it is possible with the hope it can wait and there is no urgency to contemplate .Many wise souls meticulously set out financial plans for security. They are of the opinion that financial stability is a grand solution to old age .Few have been disillusioned as money cant buy good health or good relations at all times and that dependence of some sorts is inevitably the way forward. The prospects of lonely existence is the pain Living with children has its own benefits .But one prefers to be independent and live life at its own cost.The grand children and daughter or sons in law may not always create favourablconditions ons to be understood. Often dependents are indirectly presumed to be a burden of sorts. Pensioners they say are well looked after for their regular resources and the inconveniences are not bone of contention buttolerable ..Even disabled and handicapped find acceptance.At times children have migrated and there fore care homes are springing up like mushrooms. In fact retirement colonies with all conceivable amenities and facilities have sprung up .The company in the same age groups is reassuring of adjustments because of shared interest .The outstation children find it a good repository to lodge elderly parents with assured care and comfort.Senior citizens living alone have been targets of serious and even fatal physical attacks for robbery .Surveillance apparatus cannot guarantee intended total protection It is disgraceful, uuncharitable behaviour to dispossess elderly ,helpless parents and turn them on to the streets The legal provision for care of elderly is observed more in breach as the parents rarely enforce the legal provision for self protection The idea of migrating to live with children is not a pleasant situation to be considered as it is uprooting from traditional environment and the working children may not be able to provide that dedicated care.Maitenance expenses without health care services are steep .Hence old age existence in homes or with attendants at home are some options that have no universal applications Besides accomodation and food there are daunting health care issues that are to be tackled and such costs are prohibitive in nature for the majority Those with cultivated hobbies of their interests have a better chance of adjustment The feeling of being unwanted as a burden to be got rid off is hurting the most.Suddenly the importance of being consulted has dwindled Experience and wisdom has outlived its purpose The best of cheap, unsolicited advice is dispised The desire to be listened is at its lowest rung.Those with complaining nature and trying to draw attention towards themselves are at their wits end .Suffering silently, resigning to the envitable is still worth its weight in gold The attitude of CEST LA VIE is well deserved to be adopted to ensure and preserve a healthy outlook. One cannot demand any form of compensatory behaviour as return favour for duties performed under obligatory relationships.To be content under all attenuating circumstance is to invest in peace and happy living The old age stage has to be seriously and meticulously planned to deal with the exigencies most likely to arise .Resorting to complaining and cursing is not the way forward .It may result in retaliation unbearable as the consequence Old age, if you are fortunate to survive unlike many companions is to revive relationship of faith for consolation and comfort When you can attend to most of your needs , it is a win win situation in any circumstances Just praying devoutly for end to burry all your anxieties of age related woes is sure a defeatist attitude to face reality.Any stage of life has its own dimensions and to make the best of it is the challenge You are as old as you feel but not let us die a living death IF our demands are minimum , contentment is way forward, dare to bear with fortitude your tribulations, adjust with maximum elasticity to most challenging situations and financially secure to be independent to the extent possible then being deaf dumb and blind is the key to happy old age survival Nelson Lopes Chinchinim Nelson Lopes Chinchinim https://lopesnelsonnat.wordpress.com Nelson Lopes Chinchinim https://lopesnelsonnat.wordpress.com
