If you obsess over something you won’t get it: As an entrepreneur, having chosen to follow my passion, it has been an enjoyable journey. However, a few months back, I seemed to be overly worried about the impending recession and how much the business will be affected in the coming months. My wife said, “You seem to be tense.” Even a friend made a similar remark looking at my face. And suddenly there was a realization that I had (unnecessarily) become obsessive about the business (and how much it should progress etc.) And that is when Vishy’s lesson came handy.
Identifying your alarm bells: It is only human to cross lines. But then wouldn’t it help if we have our own alarm bells which will go off when the line is crossed between passion and obsession? So I asked myself, “What are the signs that I have become obsessive?” I few things came to mind:
- Did I jog in the last week?
- Did I go for a walk with my wife?
- Did I listen to Hindustani classical music in the past 2 weeks?
- Did I practice flute in the last 2 weeks?
- Did I go cycling with my son in the last 2-3 weeks?
- Did I get out of the city in the last 2-3 months?
- Did I read any fiction, especially a Marathi book in the past 2-3 months?

"Obsession" is like fever- You are bound to get over from it eventually.
I really like the simplistic way in which you write, Sir. Connects to the reader.
Hope you start marketing it.
