Story on accountability ( story club )
What is accountability? So i think accountability can be categorized in two ways
- Self accountability and
- Accountability that has been assigned to us by someone
Now what’s the difference?
Let me give the examples by two stories
- So this story takes place one year back when we from gurgaon traveled to tehri with a lot of stuff in our cars and it included the setup for “story club” it wasn’t a thing at that time but there were a lot of discussions or more of meal talks about that and whenever the topic was brought up i was carefully listening because it was a whole new concept and it sounded very fascinating to me as a 7th grader and i was convinced with the idea and i thought to myself why not give it a shot and i did that. now after that we kept making changes, the first thing we decide on was that we are going to tell our stories where we’ll show a hero in our story which will be us and the reason we did that was because we thought that if will be able to see a hero inside ourselves will be more confident in the work will do or when we’ll tell our stories to other people ( the people outside of coloredcow ) but as it grew we established another model where we thought we would be establishing the values that are implemented in coloredcow’s work ethic and that went on for a couple of months pretty well and we kept making improvements in that as well but further the story club instead of growing it when a little downhill which is the case now (a lot of contributing factors are there), but as it started degrading a little i felt bad i felt as if i am going down, so i felt myself accountable for it and i thought i should figure why is it happening and what can i do to make it better and i am still figuring that out! But you see this is an example of self accountability. It is when you get connected or emotionally connected to something and when it grows you feel like celebrating whereas when it goes down when the pain comes you feel it’s your responsibility to make that better!
- So the other story took place recently when I started going to school. at the beginning of the session the so called “toppers” of the class (i am considered one of them
) were assigned to you know decorate the backboard of the class, which i feel is a kind of useless thing but you have to do it because you need to have good reputation, so i said yes to that task but i think because i din’t feel that if the board is not going to be decorated i will feel as if some part of me is missing it was just something that someone had assigned to me and i just did it for the sake of doing it and i did screw it a little like it took a lot of time for me to complete it and the end result wasn’t that fascinating, so you see i was assigned accountability and i dint feel connected to it so i dint do it the way i would have done other things or i was not able to do it the way i am able to do other things.
But don’t get me wrong I am not trying to say that don’t do the things that are assigned to you or not do them properly what i am trying to convey is that when accountability is forced upon you, you don’t feel accountable, but if you are connected to something or into something you feel accountable for that because you really want to do it and if you don’t then that pain or regret will live on with you which nobody wants so we do something about it.
So my framework of Accountability, let’s call it “Jia’s Framework of Accountability” is
- Become “ONE” with the thing you want to do
- Give yourself completely to execute or to make that happen
- Now, if that works, good feeling will come and if not some sadness or a bad feeling will come
- Be aware of these two feelings. These are the signals or indicators.
- And decide what you want to do further based on that. Improve further, sustain, or may be kill it.
And one last thing I wanted to share is that just by writing or thinking about this story I learned a lot in the process!! So why should I not make the story club better or make efforts to make it grow further!
An article written by me named as – an experience, a learning which is flabbergastingly new to me!
Exams
So on Sunday I had my kathak “exam”. Well I know right it does sound different cause kathak is art and why do they keep an exam for it? But don’t get me wrong, I am not questioning them! I did not think before but when me and papu discussed that everything in life should not be taken as an exam cause there is enough pressure and art is art so even if people call it an exam you should enjoy it take it as art, see the beauty that lies in it, experiment with this and extend your learning! So when me and papu were discussing this on the day of the kathak exam and many more times before that, i completely got the point but but! I was not able to apply it, i mean i dunno if you get that or not but okay let’s put it this way, I understood that art should be done gracefully and it should be enjoyed but! I was not able to apply it to myself, then this happened and i went in for the exam and i answered the theory questions they asked ( which was the raata part! ( which i am good at )) i even did the things correctly but with no expressions! I mean can you believe it! I got so blind or stuck in the exam pattern that is all around us and i was so scared if i am going to do good or not, which was the thing that was least to get worried about, it was more about enjoying it doing it in a flow having fun and just doing it as art!!!!
Failure
But i did not realize it before i tasted failure , well you can call it failure or you can call it a point where i knew something and i didn’t do it the way it should have been done and the moment i “failed” at it i realized it then! Because i had never had this kinda experience where i did not do good in something because in school and all i am like more than good at everything and here i got scolded and now i have to give a re test but instead i can also think if it as a learning that i mean if this would have not happened , this lesson i would not have learnt ( if you get what am saying ) so i think the thing this incidence taught me is that first things first i should know what i need to do and the beauty of the thing is that matters we should just try to get into it instead of just seeing it as another exam, cause the world is filled with those and it doesn’t need you to make another one trust me!! And failure is the fuel you need to grow in almost everything !
Practice
but if you know that you failed one time and you don’t try to understand why you did and you do not try to figure out why you did fail and not try to correct those things, then you’ll keep practicing the things you already know, which does not benefit anyone! And it is not beneficial altogether but if we do something to make a difference or add something to that thing! Things will start to look beautiful automatically and we won’t see everything as an exam!
Gratitude letter that I wrote to the ColoredCow family ( My father’s company ) when I was leaving the Tehri ( Uttarakhand ) office after spending 3 months there –
GRATITUDE LETTER
TO MY DEAREST FAMILY / COLOREDCOW TEAM
First of all , I wanted to thank you all for playing a very important role in my life. You people are so great I can’t tell. You guys throw the most amazing parties and make the most amazing food, bet anything you guys make it happen and I am very lucky to have you all. You do the most challenging things and you guys are daring. From coding to design to marketing you know everything. The most logical and ambitious people I have ever met. Each one of you is special and that’s what makes us, us!! Each one of you has a special quality and each one of you has taught me something of the other. It is fun to spend cool Sunday’s with you and sometimes a lot of traveling and trekking, sometimes chat ( an Indian street food dish ) or sometimes pizza. My whole 3 months in Tehri have been fantastic because of you. Story club is also very fun, to laugh, to hear stories and to spend that moment sitting in the company of each other, sometimes we relate to the story or sometimes we apply it to our life. I think it is great that we are blessed with both the beauty of Tehri and the comfort of food. The time we had together is really memorable. Your birthday’s are so special and so fun. I just want to thank you guys for being there and for being you. You guys are really great. Thankyou and goodbye!! I am gonna miss you guys!!! I like me better when I am with you!
Thanks

My earlier research on problem solving “understanding the problem’’ –
Why is it a human psychology that when we get a problem we firstly rush to the solution instead of understanding the problem ( think over it critically )
Why is it that we, whenever we have a problem, we rush to the solution directly?! I don’t know that fully yet either, that is why I am writing this article to explore, but what i think is that people are really really busy now-a-days or in other words lazy, some people just want to complete things as soon as possible and just want to get through it and not put much brain or hard work into it, this is all what I think/knew, so I went ahead and googled it so that I can get other people’s views and experiences. But guess what when I read a few articles, I realized that they were doing the exact same thing that they were telling us not to do, and the pattern in all the articles was same, it was like in the first para they were telling you to think about the problem more and then in the second stanza they suddenly switched and were talking about how to solve a problem, so I figured that it is not that easy or it is not possible for everyone to understand the problem fully even the people who think they know how to understand a problem fully sometimes they think that they are understanding the problem and then solving it but actually they are just solving the solution to a problem that doesn’t even exist/ or they don’t try to understand it fully.
Story on practice ( story club )
I thought to think what I achieved in ColoredCow and whether that is an outcome of practice or not
I don’t code, or design, or deliver any business outcome. but still, my heart beats for coloredcow and I feel strongly that i am a part of coloredcow, I feel happy when I hear about the success of colored cow and i feel sad when i hear about the downfalls. I know for sure that i am a part of coloredcow
Then I thought, what is coloredcow? And i recall the discussion i overheard that coloredcow is not something sitting on a chair or something in a box it is you, it is us, it is i!
Then I thought if I am growing then ColoredCow is growing,
And I have a feeling that I am expressing myself better and people are also telling me that!
Then how I got better? Is it the outcome of practice?
And I have a strong feeling that “yes” that this result in a better expressive person is the outcome of practice for sure!
But how to tell this in a story?
I started thinking about the framework discussed earlier in the story club sessions and here is my list –
- What was the problem/goal?
- Whether the goal is tough or not?
- Whether that goal is the important one or not?
- Whether that goal is just for me or a longer good?
- Whether I have the resources/platform to play with that goal or not?
- Whether i have enough support mentorship in my journey
With this i started recalling all the moments of my journey of the story club
But what about the story, a story should have a hero, a challenge, a mentor, some action, some results, then more problems and tension because of that and then a final outcome, probably the positive one as no one likes sad stories. And also it doesn’t harm if there are jokes in between.
And here is my story which is a work in progress
This is the story of a girl who wants to make an impact and wants to do a lot, have lots of dreams and aspirations
This girl got convinced that to reach her dreams she needs to bring out her stories to the world
But she felt that she didn’t know enough. She is too little and then she hears out a tough word imposter syndrome in Vivek’s story.
She questioned herself that whether she was rejecting herself and then decided to stick to the action plan.
She joins the story club without missing a single session be it exams, parties or sickness.
Her friends tease her when she leaves the games early every wednesday, they even comment!
That hurts but she decided to carry on
She got better; her teachers praised her on her clarity of thought and the manner of speaking and engaging.
On the other hand her friends increase the effort of rejecting it hurts and this girl cries on being rejected.
But then this girl reminds herself of her dreams and a smile comes up again
This girl falls, stands, rises and then keeps repeating the cycle
This girl is on fire!!!
PS: can I add a PS, today I was not sure if my framework was good enough but i decided to go with it as practicing a different thing is actually called practice if i keep practicing what i already know well you can call that practice.
Why practice is important and what would happen if we won’t have done practice
Me sharing my experience/view of the sprint –
So a few days back we visited Tehri in order to attend/organize the sprint and it was the first sprint in the whole history of ColoredCow and it was so fun to organize and it was really really fun to meet people talk to them and get their opinion on things get their views talk to them in general and it was such a great experience that i almost have no words for it, The most interesting part was i got to see things from numerous perspectives in the ways that i thought i would never be able to and it was so great! I really enjoyed it, the most interesting part was that the team was working together hard like anything in the hope of achieving something and you might be bored of me saying that but it was really really great a heart touching moment indeed a lot of people appreciated our culture and i was really proud because as you know i have been a part of colored cow since i was very young and i have been involved in it since as long as i can remember and i feel so proud when somebody appreciates it and it is a different feeling altogether every time and it has been a pleasure to be involved in every little detail of ColoredCow and i have been privileged as i got to learn so many things so fast and way earlier in life and i am very thankful and grateful towards that, coloredcow has just become a very big family we do most of the things together, have a lot of fun and even chill on sundays. It was a really great feeling to start the story club as well. It was an impromptu opportunity but if you see now the kind of level we have reached to it is just positively unbelievable and a proud thing i might as well add!! It feels really great to be a part!!
Story on “Not shying away from opportunity” ( story club ) –
As we all know we get a lot of opportunities in our life, they are like air we do take some and we sometimes let it go, i might have missed an opportunity or two but the one i am going to share with you i did not let go, This story is about the opportunity I got recently, which was about making a video for tbxi’s 10th year anniversary, when i got to know i was flabbergasted in a negative sort of way that will i be able to do this or not because you know it requires a lot of dedication and loads and loads of good thoughts so i was really really scared at that moment but after that when i was over my thoughts of negativity i discussed it with my father and he suggested that i could take bohra bhaiyas help with it, So the first thing i did was i wrote all the things i thought i could say or would be appropriate to speak then we all found the appropriate day to record the video and many takes were taken and as we were in the process my nervousness grew worse, that was a big villain for me because no matter what i did it was getting worse and i speaking as if i was a robot on an on or off button but somehow everybody helped me and i got through it and the outcome was not actually perfect but yes definitely best from my side, after that bohra bhaiya also helped me to stitch the pieces of the video together, and then there was the intense part where i had to write an email to vijaya auntie and the two others who were helping, it was my first official mail! So as human nature is,
I was really scared and did not know what to write and what impression the words or the sentences would make but again I was lucky enough to have help beside me. I got through it too though the first time I wrote the words seemed too much. I tried to filter my email more with help and some of my ideas too! And finally I sent it. This was also the first time when i got to see cc and bcc in action. I was really scared even after sending it but the conversation went on and on, the silliest mistake I made was writing com instead of co ( so basically i spelled the email in a way, so as we use coloredcow.com the use slens.co) and because of that i had to send it all over again. So this was my story and in this story two heroes bohra bhaiya and me! I was a hero because I did not shy away from the opportunity and took it as an advantage of learning something new and speaking in front of the camera! Bohra bhaiya was a hero because even though he did not get anything out of it or in the whole process still he was ready to help or helped! The hero that i saw in both of us, i see it in everybody in coloredcow, everyone is ready to help even if they don’t get anything out of it, we work as a family and we don’t always see what we get out of it we just do the selfless help and we never miss any opportunities we try to acquire as much as we can and try to learn as much as we can and as a result we implement more.
An article that I wrote “How to decide a title for your writing” –
So whenever I write I do not give a title beforehand, I first like to include my thoughts and write them and then I decide a title for it, but I face a lot of problem deciding a title for the particular write-up, I sit thinking for minutes or even hours about it until and unless I think/achieve the perfect suitable title for the respective article and I have not mastered the art of title writing yet, that is why i am writing this so that we can, not master exactly but atleast get a clarity on how to write a suitable relatable title, So some of the researches say that we should include our character in the title, which is actually kind of true being yourself and writing the title on the basis that is the most original or authentic thing you can do, because guess what everyone sees the world from different perspectives which in simpler words is that everyone sees the world from different coloured specs, so it could happen that i might be writing this article from a perspective that you will perceive this the way i am thinking but you might be thinking something else and this might lead to something else! You never know, everything is full of surprises! The second thing that the researches show is that you can create or write the title in a way that the readers get a clarity on what they are about to enter into and it should be that kind of clear that they get the clarity of the article beforehand that are they even interested in reading it. The third thing is what i think is a title should be just up to the mark and very clear and very short so that the same thing that is the people should know what are they going to dive into or read.
Article by me on “ YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU NEED ’’ –
When you have a problem, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Finding a solution! Isn’t it? But we never try to understand the problem deeply or think about it for a while, that is why we sometimes find solutions which are inappropriate and do not suit the problem. And it happens not only when there is a problem, it also happens when there are fights etc. I was in a same kinda position a few months back when i used to get bullied by my friends in some way or another or constantly get into fights with them and i used to curse them or be rude to them sometimes not even talk to them, but one day it was too much for me so i directly went to my father and told him the whole incident, he explained and explained but the discussion ended to a conclusion that we all should focus on what we need, if we learn that or implement that, we will never get hurt from whatever has to come!! And the more we experience these kinds of things, the more we learn!! Life is all about learning from mistakes and experiences! And from that day on, whenever I have a problem I just close my eyes, take a deep breath and think about what I need!! And it helps me to make all kinds of decisions, even if it is friends, family or anything in this whole wild/wide world!!
Article by me on “ Life is hell of a ride ’’ –
There are a lot of things going on in each and everyone’s life, so as the line suggests there is a lot going on in my life too. There is school, there are multiple classes, home and friends, but i try to handle everything and take help from people wherever i can and that’s where my pressure gets reduced, But sometimes weird kind of thoughts come to me like why am i the only one that is stuck in all this drama and why am i only going through this and not other people from my age. But when i think about these two things come to my mind 1 that when i am stuck in these things i do find my way out of it eventually and get to learn a lot of things from a lot of people and get to know different kinds and qualities of different people, which i can take positively and negatively as well and the sooner i know how the world is the better i can deal with them, i believe that every individual is beautiful in their own way and you can learn a lot from even a single person and i also do believe that god is providing you with these hurdles as he wants you to be prepared for a big thing that is coming, maybe you never know! The 2 things that come to my mind is this is just life and you have to find your way no matter what otherwise there will be no you and you have to continue learning and make your way through it, that is the only way you survive. But on the other hand I know that I do have a lot of things and people to be grateful about and instead of going negative I try and will always try to push harder and lead myself to the positive side.

Story on “ If there’s no work if there’s no play ” ( story club ) –
If there’s no work if there’s no play
Once Joline Godfrey said
All work and no play doesn’t just make Jill and Jack dull, it kills the potential of discovery, mastery, and openness to change and flexibility and it hinders innovation and invention.
You work on a lot of things in life like from making a ravana for dussehra when you were 7-8 or coding like a pro now, but the main question is are you happy with what you do? Does that give you pleasure? Is there an environment like that? Or do you think there is a possibility for you to create an environment like that! Ok, now let me answer those questions through this story, so my learning journey started at a very young age unknowingly with coloredcow itself, so when i was very young i was in tehri with my father and coloredcow was doing their first project with the uttarakhand government named 555 or ( panch so pachpan ) and with the team I used to go to every meeting, just in order to feel the city vibe and have pizza, as a kid i just wanted that, i asked for no more! But eventually the more i went to those meetings the more i started understanding about work, solutions, the problems and even how people are problems and create problems for other people, because they were government people all around nobody did anything they just wanted more by not doing literally nothing and from there i decided no matter what i become i just don’t wanna become them, because instead of having fun they were killing all of it! Then when i grew a little bit i started coding, i was not in a mood for doing coding by listening to different lectures from different websites or beat anything like that, i just had a picture in my mind that i want to create my website that will be open seasonally and all that stuff, i took help and i started learning it and when in tehri i saw that there was no menu for the food officially, i started building a website for it! So when i was creating the website for the menu( it is not finished yet ) but yeah when i was working on it, it was a really fun journey creating the design for it and then thinking about how it will show and all those things, that gave me a lot of pleasure! And it was real fun too, so knowingly or unknowingly coloredcow taught me to work and to have fun while working, anything is possible when you have the right people to support you! but still i do have a lot to learn from all of the people i meet, my journey has just started! This was me and my story. Thank you!
