Recently I started interest in reading novels. I started reading the book called “Idli, Orchid and Will Power” the autobiography of Vithal Venkatesh Kamat.
Though I have not yet finished the book but it is really impressive. The book has all the ingredients to guide us. So I thought of sharing some of the points which I felt that everybody should know:
1. Financial Dignity: In today’s world where credit card is given/ issued at a phone call, value of money is losing its importance and many people started believing in EMI’s and loan without bothering whether they have the capacity to repay the loan or not. This book shares what is mean by financial dignity and how much respect a person get s when they are not indebted to anybody.
2. Preparedness: Another important thing that really impressive is the preparedness to accept the things as they are and facing them. There was a situation when President of India arrives and stays in his hotel, and when food is ordered which was not in the list and how VV Kamat faced the situation and turned it around was really fabulous
3. Networking: This is one thing that really surprised me. Today we are seeing many networking options like Orkut, Face book etc., but VV Kamat realized the importance of networking and showed what it can do..so a must read for everyone
These are some of the points which I thought of sharing. There are many books which tells us abt 7 habits, or 7 techniques..but here it is the life and how you face them.
Here some good traits of entrepreneurs were demonstrated which are really thought provoking. But sad part is that online edition is not available.
This book is available in various Indian languages like Kannada, Marathi, Telugu, Gujarati, Hindi and Tamil.
