Today i'll be sharing interview of an
inspiring mother who not only support her children, house but also she is a
sucessfull IT Enterprenuer. Her book "A Journey in Search of
Happiness" is written for her charity organization.
So let's read Ramya's Introduction, her
journey, her strugles in her words
MyBookTours: Tell us
about yourself.
Ramya: I am a
proud mother of two little adorable daughters. I am currently an Entrepreneur
with almost 2 decades of experience in IT.
As an Engineering graduate, I worked with many MNCs for 14+ years at Bengaluru. I have no love to settle outside India though I travelled various countries before marriage. Being a nuclear family, after my 2nd daughter’s birth, it was highly challenging to manage my personal and work commitments. As my priorities changed, I decided to quit my highly paid IT job when my kids were 3.5 and 2 years old.
As an Engineering graduate, I worked with many MNCs for 14+ years at Bengaluru. I have no love to settle outside India though I travelled various countries before marriage. Being a nuclear family, after my 2nd daughter’s birth, it was highly challenging to manage my personal and work commitments. As my priorities changed, I decided to quit my highly paid IT job when my kids were 3.5 and 2 years old.
But soon within few weeks, I decided to register my company so
that I can do the work that I love when I find time without any stress and
pressure. This led to the birth of EliteSouls Consulting Services at Bengaluru
in 2016. Initially, I started an online academy and then slowly added project
delivery services and expanded our service portfolio as I managed to get
additional bandwidth. As of now, we are operating from Bengaluru and New York.
Have made multi-crore revenue but still long way to go.
My friends, colleagues and relatives know me as a core technical
person though I am a blogger and conference speaker (only technical). Honestly
they didn’t expected this self-help book from a technical IT architect who has
authored 15+ technical research papers. Their appreciation and wishes meant a
lot to me for the time I invested in writing this book amidst my family and
work commitments.
MyBookTours: Why did you choose writing and who inspires you
to write?
Ramya: In nutshell, my quest in my life has led me to write this book. As
I found the perfect answer after many unknown questions after many years, I
decided to write it for the young generation to read and get benefitted out of
it.
My father is always my great source of inspiration. As I had
to face many struggles from my early childhood days, I was starving to claim
success and to lead a happy life. I was passionate to get a highly paid IT job
to close all our debts and my dream came true when I was 27 years. I had a
great satisfaction about my achievement but still I wasn’t feeling happy about
it. I had no clue why I wasn’t happy in spite of bringing all my dreams to
reality. I then realized Success is different from Happiness. That is the time
the real SEARCH triggered in me. I got married and after two kids, my
responsibilities tripled yet my search didn’t settle down. I usually don’t read
books but I started reading to understand the real meaning of Happiness. During
my research, life had many twists which also helped me to understand and
experience the real meaning of Happiness and Success. Afterall Struggle and
Success are the two-sides of a coin. I think, I have experienced both which
helped me to find the real happiness secret.
After years, my search was successful and I got a beautiful
feeling of satisfaction and achievement and well-being. So, I decided to write
a self-help book about my experience and use some of my personal life
experience to characterize the mother character. But I decided to write this
book as a fiction because I feel that the importance of a 2 line moral is
realized only if there is a story to emotionally bind the readers to it.
MyBookTours: How much time did you take to write “A Journey
in search of happiness”?
Ramya: It took me a decade to
learn and experience the 5 key life principles that helped me to become all I
am NOW. But when I decided to write it as a book, I took 3 months’ vacation to
complete the book (Aug, Sep & Oct 2019) as I planned to publish the book
for my daughter’s 6th
birthday in Nov 2019.
MyBookTours: What all suggestions would you give to them who want to make
their career in writing?
Ramya: I am not the best person to suggest as am not a professional
writer. But I feel, the eligibility or basic pre-requisite to write a
non-fiction book is : You see or experience a challenge or problem in your life
or in society and you work towards it to find a solution. You can write your
experience irrespective of your success or failure while approaching to solve
that problem.
Anyone who meets the above pre-requisite can write a book (am not
referring a fiction or thriller here). But spend quality time researching on
the topic and analyze it, explore about any existing solutions on your topic,
etc in order to give quality content to the readers. Content is very important
for the success of a book and the presentation style makes it appealing for the
readers to read and feel your thoughts. I feel the to-do list for aspiring
writer is
1)
Write, Write and Write. Keep writing to improve your writing style.
2)
Read, Read and Read. Read more and more to become knowledgeable and to learn
from other.
MyBookTours: Tell us about your book which you have written
recently?
Ramya: A Journey in search of
Success Happiness’ is a self-help book presented as a family fiction. I was on quest
for many years and when my search was successful and I got a beautiful feeling
of satisfaction and achievement and well-being. So, I decided to write a
self-help book about my experience and use some of my personal life experience
to characterize the mother character. But I decided to write this book as a
fiction because I feel that the importance of a 2 line moral is realized only
if there is a story to emotionally bind the readers to it. My 2nd book about
Women is due to publishing during the year 2020.
MyBookTours: What all challenges did you face when you were writing first novel?
Ramya: Though I was very clear and confident about
the book content, I had to face lot of challenges that are
common for a first time author.
1) Finding time to complete
it in 3 months (I think my decision to take 3 months’ vacation to complete the book
helped me to solve this challenge. Considering the seriousness of the
book content, I realized multi-tasking
cannot help and will not be able to do justice to the book theme and opted for a 90 days break from work).
2) How to choose the book publisher who can add value to the book content?
(need to do lot of research about it and finalized the option as I didn’t had
any authors in my connections to help me with some ideas about the
process and financial investment).
3) How to Market the book to reach the readers? (after researching about
successful marketing tips from best-selling authors , am working on various options
to market the book)
MyBookTours: Which is your favorite book and who is your
favorite author?
Ramya: The top 5
from my big list of books which I love to read even hundred times.
1) The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
2) The Monk who sold his Ferrari
by Robin Sharma.
3) The
Seven habits of highly effective People by Stephen R. Covey.
4) How to win friends and influence
people by Dale Carnegie.
5) The Power of your
sub-conscious mind by Joseph Murphy.
MyBookTours: Any
project that you are currently working on?
Ramya: Writing / Hobby : I have
started working on my 2nd book about WOMEN. This special book is my
dedication to brave Nirbhayas of India. This book characterizes different
traits of modern
women for their well-being and to lead a successful life. I am hoping to
publish this book
in 2020. 😊
Profession / Career : I am handling multiple projects
on Performance Engineering and Cyber Security to various US clients. So far handled/managed
250+ projects and counting. It’s just my daily routine job 😊
Personal
/ Family : Every day is a big project for a working mother who has naughty children at home. This project is more
sensitive, unique with daily hick-ups and struggles to spend quality time with no comprise in story-time, making
favorite dishes, packing creative lunch books
with healthy goods, play-time, etc irrespective of my
health or mood. A lot more challenging project than anything else. 😊

Concept of Brand Identity
ReplyDeleteEverything your brand stands for, the way you present your product to the public, and the emotions you hope consumers
will experience as a result of doing business with you all contribute to your brand’s identity. An organization’s brand identity is its character and its promise to its clientele.
Historically, a “brand” was the mark that a rancher used to identify his herd. Over time, however, the concept of a “brand” has expanded to include far more than merely a name or a logo.
An organization’s brand is its unique selling proposition. The various parts that make up a brand are the name, slogan, logo/symbol, design, brand voice, and more.
Accordingly, brand identity refers to the facet of branding that emphasizes the character and ethics of your product or service.
Your products make an impression on buyers even after the purchase has been completed. Building a brand’s identity involves working to establish a specific impression.
