My Unsuccessful Ways of Chasing Success...


During my school days, I was very passionate in learning anything and everything... I was very inquisitive… But as the days passed on, my passion took a downward curve…

During my Teenage (Intermediate), my studies became merely Result Oriented… and whenever I asked a doubt to my faculty, they asked me not to waste time in thinking much about any topic... and since then I learnt about the subject, but did not learn around it...

After joining Graduation, I got ample of time and hence, my passion for learning again started, but that ended up in learning everything in bits and pieces…

Through all these years I was happy externally, with my performance in exams, with my results, prizes at various competitions, but was not happy internally... Something was missing...

But then, during the third year of my Graduation I realised that I am following an unsuccessful path in chasing success... A session had completely changed my perspective… A person has encouraged and inspired me to learn...  taught me how to Enjoy Learning...  since then I reverted back to my passion of learning and the thirst for knowledge has increased drastically, which has been helping me in my way to chase my Dreams, to fulfil my desire in achieving my Goals...

And that person is my Guruji... Dr T P Sasikumar.. I really don't know how to Thank you Chachu...But I promise I will always try to live upto your expectations...


 I am always Thankful to you chachu...

A philosophical Discussion on Truth versus Fact...



My Guruji proves that if one has interest in learning, then, learning is possible around anything and everything... 
At this instance I love to give an example...

He even analyzes the difference between two similar words so perfectly and explains to us with such good examples, that we bound love to learn more and more...

I misinterpreted that fact and truth mean the same, till the time I had a discussion with my Guruji...

Once on the way to his college(He is now holding a post as Head Of the Dept of MBA Dept, Aurora College) he sent me a sms(Virtual Learning), the difference between Truth and Fact

The message is as follows:
Fact is temporary and relative.
Truth is permanent and absolute.

Later, that evening we discussed regarding the difference between Truth and Fact over internet(Virtual Learning) in Facebook(We use social Networking Sites for a better purpose i.e., to Learn and Discuss..)
Our Discussion on facebook is as follows:



    • Chachu God a Fact or a Truth ?

    • truth

    • Yes.... I argued the same with my Papa for a long time... he was not agreeing. He was saying that God is a Faith... u can't take example of God in defining Truth...


    • he is true.
    • truth is the impression..
    • that is what one has as absolute in him.

    • Chachu but as i have faith in God... God is a truth for me right?
    • so truth depends on individual na?
    • like something i may believe it as Truth but others may not

    • truth is definite..
    • but all may not know that..
    • death is definit..
    • eating makes one to survive..
    • survive is fact
    • death is truth.

    • death is a fact right?

    • but none thinks of death ..

    • how could that be truth?

    • death is not fact.. it is truth

    • death is sure to happen...

    • as it is definite / absolute
    • yes..

    • so which is definite is Truth?

    • yes
    • permanent is truth
    • temporary is fact..
    • eating will survive is temporary..

    • So is the feelings which get a fact or a truth?
    • *which we get

    • that is fact..
    • but firm feelings that are tested by time.. that i am aware of death..
    • so death is truth..
    • not feeling..
    • i realized as fact..

    • okay...
    • we have Manas
    • is that a fact
    • or a Truth
    • ?

    • as long as u realize ..
    • and identify with thoughts as manas.. will understand it is truth

    • so could we take Fact as something which we could prove?
    • as we could realize truth... but may not be able to prove it..

    • yes..
Thank you chachu ji..



Before meeting my Guruji, I never ever thought that there could be such great learning even on two words... I am really Loving Learning chachu... This all is due to you...

The main improvement in me through these discussions is confidence.. Yes, I learnt that the Confidence levels increases with knowledge...

If I compare myself before meeting chachu and after meeting him, the Confidence levels in me have increased drastically...

Understanding EKALAVYA from a new Angle...


 After hearing to the Dronacharya Ekalavya story, I was really inspired by the devotion of Ekalavya towards his Guru, Dronacharya. Thought Ekalavya could be considered as an Ideal student and hence, while discussing a name for our learning group started by my Guruji, I suggested it could be Dronacharya Ekalavya Mentorship Programme.

 One fine day when we were there at his home for a session, my Guruji wrote EFIL on a paper and asked us to identify it. After thinking for a while, we were able to answer it by saying that, it is 'reverse of LIFE'. Then, he asked us to expand EFIL. We tried, but failed... Then my Guruji gave it a creative expansion by saying EFIL could be “Ekalavyas for Future India Leadership”. I was really thrilled after listening to it. From then, our learning group name became EFIL.

 Then, I thought he named it as EFIL, by considering Ekalavya to be the best student because of his devotion towards his Guru, because of his determination to learn. But, after few days, I heard a new definition of Ekalavya from my Guruji, when he was explaining it to one of his old students saying “our group is named as EFIL as most of the time the learning is done virtually”. Then, I realized that, yes Ekalavya learnt Dhanurvidya virtually.

 Now, coming to our learning part, our learning from our Guruji is a continuous process. It is obvious that meeting every day is not possible, but still our learning doesn't stop. Let it be through online or be it through calls, SMS, all our doubts are cleared perfectly by our Guruji, through his analysis, explanations and examples, which could not be found in any book or over internet.

 Hence, our group name exactly defines our learning -- Our learning is beyond classrooms, beyond meetings, but it is a continuous process...



I am really blessed to be your student Chachu... Thank You so much...
