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..
ahaaaa! me, a part of the 'famous five' gang...i'm honoured badelog :O)it was nice reading the blog...have seen you to be extremely positive and i agree with you, opportunity has permitted you to do much more than most of us would have got a chance to do in a year...but none would have been possible without initiative at your end...i can assure you of one thing,of what i have seen you do in this year..and knowing the person that you are...nothing will stop you from succeeding in life badelog..that's a belief, a damn strong one! Till then, for your good, mine and for the greater good of mankind...may Reliance price shoot through the roof ;O)

aaj bhi hai pakdi umeeed ki dori...
ReplyDeletednt loose hope is the moral of the story...!!
Jisne seekha life mein kabhi bhi na jukhna...
mila hai humesha usko umeed se dugna !!!!
keep it goin badelog...u shall overcome !!
Adding to your point, I would like to say that ...hehe.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have gone on impromptu trips.
You couldn't have spent time with your friends and been with them for their special occasions.
Great attitude...coz its easy to get bogged down and think negatively about all that is happening around you, it takes a lot to pick yourself up and hold-on till the break of dawn.
Most people think that it is only the early part if your career that you have to slog...which is actually an illusion. I believe that nothing comes easy for anyone. Just those initial years, most people just give up fighting and settle into whatever life had dished out. Thats a reason these initial days are very crucial, so that one can orient themselves well.
After all there is no use running fast if you are in the wrong lane, you are just running away from your goal, fast.
All the best!
You may never know how close you are,
it may be near when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit,
its when things get worst that you mustn't quit!
dude...very well written...i thnk every1 wld agree that there are so many thgs to learn from u...hats off to ur positive attitude and d way u handling dis situation... i sincerely pray u get a kickass start on ur career....!!!
ReplyDeletehmm...i am a firm believer in the fact that when 1 door is shutting on you, there are 10 new doors opening on you...you just have to be open to them mentally...life is full of adjustments and opportunities...seize the opportunities...make adjustments when necessary...enjoy what you do...quit it if you dont...
ReplyDeletenice read...all the best and the family thingi...it really sounds pretty ...all the best :)
ReplyDeletedude i have only one thing to say,"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!" ... famous quote from ROCKY BALBOA!!!!
ReplyDeletequitters quit and Galez doesnt!!
ReplyDeletethats the only thing that comes to my mind and gets reinforced after readin this!!
simply put, i miss not have done even a single thin that u have mentioned above, wen i was in that situation..
only a year has gone by.. another one is right round the corner..
DADA style mein"stand up and deliver untill its goin goin gone"
