My classmate from IIMA shared his work in Rotary + Mensa in a short 12 min talk + Q&A. It's here

Why am I sharing this?
Many Ppl think that those of us who've been fortunate to study at elite Engineering & MBA schools are only interested in making money. Not true. Some of us are interested in "Being Human" and doing our little bit to alleviate the suffering we see around us.

I was privileged to listen to an esteemed old timer recently. I was struck by the emotionally charged sharing and found lots of value in his sharing. He sounded much like my first (and only) late sponsor. Really glad to her him share.

Reminds me of my childhood home next to the sewer that ran into the sea in Versova, then a fishing village, near Bombay.

I am getting on in age. It is pointless living as if there were endless years ahead.

Long ago, when I was all of 30-32, the then fledgeling RSS Bangalore approached me to join, saying I’d be made a member of the organising committee. I said NO then. I’ll say NO now. My ‘reasons’ are below, but they’re based on AA’s Traditions!

A long time ago, I decided I will not be available for individual sponsoring, step 5 or 8-9 advise. I think it's time I desisted from 'engaging' with Organisers too. It's simply not worth my effort or time.

For the first time, I began to grasp the intensity of each step in a small way and its relevance to all areas of my life. We worked through each step, step by step over a 3 month period during the weekends and I was mandatorily required to take a sponsor as part of the workshop to work the steps outside the classroom. Finally, I took a sponsor, thanks to this workshop! I realised that by being in a structured step workshop, it is easy to follow the working of the steps in a planned way as detailed by the workshop leaders......

The fact is, most of us get into action in fits and starts. Often enough, once a "short" break is taken, it turns into a long - and sometimes, permanent - break!
What is the trick that those few people use to be persistent? Does it mean they don't take breaks? Or is there something else at play?
Find out what I discovered.

"Your Life is Unmanageable," my Sponsor said to me. First, I ridiculed him. I asked, "managing 5 companies at the same time and you say my life is 'unmanageable'?" "My bank balance is handsome and you say my life is unmanageable?" "Are you out of your mind?" I asked.
