Well I wanted to write this for loong.. started a few times.. nd left it...
Its been an amazing year or so... and I have been looking back and thinking about what if's and what not's ... Since I was forced to bid adieu to AGSPL, my previous employer, I have had an tremendous learning year...
I think a what if... what if I was still with AGSPL... I would be happy working under a manager... doing financial research and modeling... looking at the things are improving and thinking of a jump... bride hunting would have been at its highest point if I was unable to find any1 till now... I would have a car.. everything seems rosy... and may be not quite sure and may be not that focused to attain my career goals...
Now looking at what not's... what would I have missed if I was at AGSPL.. well quite a few things for sure... for starters I would still have been a non-swimmer.. I wouldnt have been able to write for a sports website.. tht too on F1.. I would hav never done real hardcore brainstorming about a business while trying to chalk out a B-plan... never would have made effort to hunt for info nd talk to zillion ppl abt various things... my network would have been half of what it is 2day... I would never had tht much respect for markets, traders, jobbers, etc... I would have never done anything related to business development.. and believe me.. its tuff nd needs lot more patience than we think...
Past year or so.. the learning has been tremendous... How to get things done with the limited resources.. how to connect to ppl nd get info.. how to be upbeat and relentlessly try and achieve your goals.. and how to make many more fckups so the same can be avoided hence forth...
Its been truly amazing.. I still cant say I enjoyed it or not.. nd this is better than being at AGSPL.. not being at AGSPL was completely worth so.. only for my mom... cant thank more AGSPL for kicking me out... In the initial days out of AGSPL... my jiju told me.. its better tht I am struggling so early in my career.. well at tht time I thought it was one of those cliched lines... but I hav realized... he might b right after all..
Well this isnt a gyan kinda post.. its just what i think nd feel.. most things might not make sense to readers.. but so be it.. I finally want to make a list of 5 things w/o which the year gone by wouldnt have been so...
1) Family.. yeh the cliched one.. but the truth of life.. its the most imp life line.. which keeps u going.. motivated.. etc... mom-dad-sis-jiju.. all have always been there
2) AB.. and our e-talk on gtalk... I have single handedly eaten his brains out vn I was frustrated nd moody... but his support has been relentless in jst abt anything... 1 odd thing in my life has been tht.. past 2-3 months.. has the highest rate of movies/week in my entire life so far.. nd he has been the companion in most of them...
3) MS.. and our tête-à-tête... well she has been there all through.. she got the same treatment frm as AB got.. and in return I got a fair nd square reply... vch sometimes gives a reality check.. nd vch helps me a lot in making most imp decisions..
4) VK.. super super super senior.. strtd working with him since abt 5-6 months... he gave me an opportunity to work on things which i jst love to do... this period has been the most enjoyable of the past year..
5) JC.. well this is a special note.. he allowed me to spent time at his share trading office.. where I developed some liking to the markets and jst respect it for life..
