A Dream Came True!!!

It wasn't the 4 F's, it wasn't the 3 M's nor war it the SWOT analysis she explained in her speech... it was all her aura that created the MAGIC and the experience that she carries in her bag that made everyone awestruck!! Yes! it was her charisma that spoke and made everyone spell-bounded! I am talking about none other than              DR. KIRAN BEDI...a woman..a true treasure! She was in Mumbai with the entire student fraternity of my college addressing them in the Corporate Seminars...on 15th November 2014. A woman i like very much and fortunately got the chance to be with her all the time that day. The hard work and follow ups of 2 months resulted in those precious 4.45 hrs that i got to spent with her (yeah! i too am very particular about time so i was with her from 12.15 p.m. to 5 p.m. that makes 4.45 hrs)....The job was half-done till she came here to visit us but was full-done when i could see the happiness on all the faces sitting in that huge banquet hall...everyone just stood up in her honor...there was pin-drop silence when she was speaking...the entire atmosphere was just mesmerized...and this magic can't be created by just anyone..It can be sprinkled only by a person full of integrity, honesty and willpower.Hardly anyone knows that her daughter suffered from leucoderma but look at this lady...she is standing all strong working for the nation...for the larger cause... this is what renders her with the power of creating magic!! She is so simple...relishing on the boiled vegetables, asking the chef for the recipe, giving a pose with the chef...all this made me realise "no matter how big you are, when you remain connected to the ground...you are loved...madly loved!!" it took her just 5 minutes to talk to the chef and give a pose for him but it gave the chef some moments to cherish forever...he was so happy that he said "thanks" to me...i wondered why... but may be out of happiness he couldn't understand what to say and to whom!

Posing with everyone in spite of the fact that she was too tired because of her return from Jakarta just a day before...she is so simple, down to earth, humble, generous and powerful... i actually don't have words to explain her...she is just incredible!! I was actually on my toes that day so that nothing goes wrong. These 4.45 hrs passed within a snap of the finger...finally i dropped her at the airport, took a single picture with her...and before i said anything...

I didn't forget to mention one statement before she left for Delhi "Ma'am, this isn't our only meeting, i hope to see you soon on the path of realizing my other dreams!!" 

Finally she waved hands and i was back on the way to my place!!

15th November 2014 marked a very special day in my life... :) :)

What's Wrong???

Sometimes...you just can not guess what is going on...why everything you try to push in your favor, goes against you...you push yourself hard to understand the reasons, albeit somewhere in your subconscious you know that the answer would not come out, yet you comfort yourself searching for it...and ultimately as expected you don't simply get that reason...and since the reason behind the odds is not clear, you fail to understand what to improve and how?? This phase of being stuck between the effect and the cause is really strange... you can not leave one thought and move ahead...and the moment you take one step ahead, these situations pull you back... since i am not a person who leaves things easily so i would say that if you look at it from other angle...it makes you learn... it makes you realise that there is something which is obstructing your path and instead of over-looking the hurdles in your path...you should try hard to remove them from the root...at this instance i remember a very good lesson learnt while going through the book "The Road Less Travelled" by famous psychiatrist Dr.M.Scott Peck in which he explains the human tendency of jumping on the easy things and leaving the complicated ones...and he very clearly mentions how this degrades our performance...(that's why learned people say to read and read a lot coz you get to know a lot!! )..applying this to our lives we should take on the hard things first and try to delay the process of gratification because the more we delay the sense of satisfaction, the more we will try to achieve that...and in the process, unknowingly we will make our paths easy for the days to come...  

So Learning Of The Day... " Learn from the bad experiences...let the problems come... face them...challenge them... take on the difficult things first...and enjoy every moment :) "... and yes in the words of Dr. A.P.J. Kalam..." Dreams are most required not when everything is going right but when everything is going wrong "... So Keep Dreaming..Keep Trying... And Keep the Hopes High!!

Hectic is the only word i know... :(

[tulikamittal]

ufff.....MBA would be so hectic i actually never imagined...engineering was far better :P ... so many things going on simultaneously...the minute you think of catching one , the other pops up showing its significance...really hard to juggle up everything... but yes this is what Masters in Business Administration is all about!!!! I was rather over-smart to assume it to be lighter than Engg... n people over there (esp. freshers of IT ) who think that sitting in your cubicle and coding for XYZ company for 9+ hrs is hectic lemme clarify it is far more easy than being into a top notch B-School pursuing your masters...indeed its a good feeling but you end up realising that coding was much relaxing than this schedule...But still i would say chasing your dreams is always better...no matter it brings you pain in the beginning but at last the satisfaction you get is all that matters...and yes being in a top B-School was one of my dreams n there i am...so i won't blame anybody for me being pissed off with loads of work..it's completely me who chose this.. :) :) ...It's another world here.. you have so many things on the plate that you really get confused what to eat :P (i am a foodie yet i face challenges) but this is what is decision making and they make you learn this!! setting priorities when you have so much to do ( i actually feel 24 hrs is less when i see the amount of work i have)...smart work vis-a-vis Optimization of work is what you need to do...and above all this so called GYAAN... you need to be at peace all the time come what may!! you need to keep your nerves calm when everybody else would try to take that monster out of you...trust me once you learn the art of control you would be your master... and every situation would be a Win-Win Game for you...!! Hope i would soon start loving it <3 <3...

Closing of Few...Opening a New...

Long time no see...!!! had a very hectic schedule with good :) and bad..not actually bad but nostalgic moments :( ... got selected for MBA ( a dream come true ) felt great ...left Infosys (my first company...<3) felt the pain of leaving my loved ones... so much of travelling....then my college ( remembering golden 4 years of mah life <3...) and finally landed in lucknow(my HomeTown...no matter where i go but u wd always be the place where i actually feel what comfort means...)... that's all i have done for the past 20 days...When i filed E-Sep in Infosys i never felt that on my last day i would cry this much...i knew it would be awkward if i would cry in front of everyone but i couldn't control (Emotional fool :(..),i had such a nice project team..we actually were a team..got to learn a lot from them..they taught me the meaning of working in a team coz before i met them i used to prefer working individually always , as i used to relate team with controversies,cold wars etc as is the normal case in corporate life but i was fortunate enough that mine(rather i should say our) was the most abnormal case...we all worked together,had parties,outings...actually we did all the fun as if we were in college...the best part of the day used to be the evening tea which we hardly missed anyday...and all this finally made me cry on my last day at infosys (The Gem of the Teams i had) It took me long than i expected to realise that i am going to leave my team,my friends,my first company...then the Duronto Journey from Pune to Delhi...thank God I could get that Tatkal ticket else the Indian Railway really sucks!! Journey was ok-ok , the 2 middle aged uncles kept talking incessantly but i slept somehow..vaise bhi i hardly mind talkative persons..i myself is a one :P ...Delhi arrival at 8 in the morning...my cutie pie..my niece was waiting for me...had a great time with her and my di-jiju...then left for college..had some formalities to do with..met with my old teachers...all are still the same except the greying of hair..:)..the best part being their affection for me...i felt so blessed everybody from a peon to the director of the college remembers my name  :) and i could feel the same love..even the canteen wale singhal uncle gifted me a Temptation..:) :) (truly said.. as u sow ,so u reap)..while in college i always tried to maintain a good rapport with everybody...and i always believe...GIVE LOVE AND YOU WILL RECEIVE IT..and Finally took shatabdi for Lucknow...and here i am now enjoying, relaxing, shopping , writing etc etc at home sweet home <3...In few more days.. A new chapter of life is about to begin...planned it some other way but things did take a different turn...still hopeful of getting everything back on track... B+ :) .....

14th Fe<3...

The month of Feb always brings a kind of cheer and joy...u go out and you would feel the happiness...after all its the month of love... :) ..some are with their loved ones enjoying the moments...some not with their loved ones are cherishing the times spent together...and i just could enjoy seeing them this time...feeling the affection that was there in their behavior for each other,experienced the love of one not so elderly couple(elderly as in they have two issues but then the spirit of love they have is no less than a teenager couple)..even though they are married,live together,have a beautiful family life but they wished each other through message,i guess to keep that essence alive in their life..to maintain that comfort of love being with each other...and i too think it is necessary to always surprise your loved ones with such elements..life should always be happening and feb is really a month to celebrate the love you feel for others not because it is the only month to celebrate love.. actually love requires no season or reason to celebrate but then people have dedicated a month so why not take out time from your busy lives and go out, dine with them have fun and feel the love <3...finally the week of love concludes with Valentine's Day today...but i hope the feel continues forever and ever...miss being with people i wanted to... but anyway...my valentine's day would be celebrated when i would be with them...Happy valentines day!!! Feel the love and be blessed!!

At times life throws so many challenges simultaneously, one feels confused,exasperated and anxious but then slowly, gradually everything settles down...when just everything is not going right..sit back and relax (though difficult to apply yet it is the best remedy if you don't know what to do)...think of your happy times..let that feeling of joy sink in through every system of your body :) till your nerves feel that peace you require to move further... and those who feel that this is something like accepting defeat rather than facing the challenges...FYI its not like you are succumbing to despair, its just that you are trying to recollect every bit of your strength,energy,power etc to take the bull by the horns again... even in a game when a player feels tired, he/she needs to take a break,go and have that stamina drink to gain the potential back...so why to take revenge from yourself??? its completely fine if you couldn't compete this time...life is not all about a single thing (rather i should say goal) ... i am not telling anyone to leave working towards your goal or passion , on the contrary i am trying to say that your entire life can't be restricted to one single thing you want from your childhood may be...circumstances change as you grow up so try to make best out of whatever you have... i remember some lines i read long back somewhere.." i can't change the direction of the wind, but i can always adjust my sails to reach my destination " ....so don't give up but don't overburden yourself...

Don't always try to live up to the expectations of others, don't get mired into a cycle of recrimination ...at times live for yourself and especially when you are extremely sad and annoyed ...it would render you with an unmatched sense of happiness..make yourself happy...gift yourself anything you like and you will find that unknowingly you have regained that lost confidence...  so be your Buoyant Force, the more you sink in due to your failures ,the more you should be capable to take yourself out... stay strong!! stay lively!!

"The time to be happy is now..

and the place to be happy is here..

and the way to be happy...

is to make someone happy...

and you have a little heaven like here...."

learnt sometime in my school days...but still remember them at heart....hardly understood the meaning that resides behind these lines that time but realise it now... true, that to make someone smile requires a lot of courage and patience but the happiness it renders you with is inexplicable... so make others happy and be happy!!

amazing you are!!
