Thought of the day - 6th September 2023

 So, I have decided to write a few lines everyday from now, let's see how it goes.

I had a very important meeting today for which I had been preparing from last week and was quite nervous about it as there were few things I was uncertain about.

I will be honest, thought about skipping that meeting and asking my manager to drive it did cross my mind. I even started thinking about a few excuses to skip it, but then, I thought why not put this effort into finding out the the facts that I am not clear about.

So, I slacked few team members, got some information, got onto a couple of calls with few of them and got more clarity. Finally created a document, got it reviewed from a couple of folks, informed my manager to join the call in case I need help and there I was, more than prepared to drive the call.

I wouldn't say it was the best meeting I have had, but it certainly prepared me for the best one that I will have soon.

To summarize, the key takeaway for me was, instead of putting the efforts in thinking of ways to escape the situation, it's best to put the efforts in preparing for the situation and trusting yourself.

Thanks for reading.

How Can I Let You Go..!!!

I share a very special relation with you & can’t let you go so easily. We have been together for almost 5 years now & you still remain my first love.

The first time I saw you, I fell in love with you immediately (yes, I believe in love at first sight). I wanted to tell you, but I thought it would be better if I tell my parents before approaching you (like an old-school guy). This was the only reason why it took so long for us to meet personally. After lots of arguments, finally my parents agreed & we were together in Dec 2006.

I can’t express in words how happy I was that day. I liked being with you all the time & would look for excuses to spend time with you. Since then we have been together & spent some great time together. Be it college, be it office or any occasion, you have always been with me. Be it early morning or 3 in the night or afternoon, you have been with me whenever & wherever I wanted you to come with me. Be it blistering heat or Heavy Rains or Shivering cold, you never made excuses for not coming with me. Be it a small walk or a long journey, you never said No.


Every relation goes through a bad phase & there were times when it was not all fine between us. There was a rough patch which was not a good for both of us, but eventually we both came through it & were back with a stronger relation.

Then, after few years, I started liking someone else & overlooked you a little but you never complained about it. Even after that when I came back to you, you were there for me. I took this for granted & kept overlooking more often for which I had to pay a heavy price.

One day, you stopped responding to me completely. Maybe that was because of this new attraction in my life, which became more close to me & we stopped interacting. This time when I came back you just didn’t respond & I had to struggle a lot to get things back on track.

There was a time, when my parents asked me to forget you & move on in life but how could I let You go. We have been with each other in good & bad times. Even when others were not there, you were there for me. And though I have others close to me, you will be the closest. I like many but I love you.

Finally, we were back together & today we just rock again. Reliving those moments again with you has taken me back to the old times. Someone has very truly said that ’First Love is true Love.’ Tomorrow even if I have others in life, my first love would still be you.

Dedicated to My love, My freedom , My Bike - Pulsar 150 DTSi Digital... :-)

Some Thoughts and Tips

Well I am no philosopher & no priest, & millions of people have already written too much on life so there's no point adding a drop of water to the ocean...but would just like to write a few lines that I have experienced in life.

24 years is too short a span for experience, in fact it's just the beginning of my journey in the real world. There is too much to come in life. I have to cross the ocean & I am just at the shore as of now. However there is this 1 thing I have learned ( till now). No matter how difficult a situation is or no matter how worst of the situations we are in; at the end, we overcome it triumphantly.

 I heard this somewhere - ' Good times give us a lot of happiness, but there is this one bad thing about good times, it ends. Similarly, bad times give us a lot of pain but one good thing about the bad times is that even it ends.' This is so true. All we need to have is a little patience, confidence, hope, courage, strength & the most important thing 'FAITH'. '

Have Faith in your Faith '----> One of the best lines I have ever come across. If you believe you can do something or you can't do something; in either case you are right.

God has already planned our life & HE has already written a beautiful future for us, all we need to do is, Trust him today. I know I have miles to go but till now even I have been in situations which seemed so impossible that I thought life would never be the same again. But after every dark night there's a beautiful morning. And same was the case with me.

In fact there is no such thing as problems in our life. It's our view about the situation that is the problem. Some people just keep cribbing through out life- Exam tensions, getting a job tension, tensions at job, Family problems, friends & love problems & what not. And in this process we lose the joys of life. Why not look at the brighter side of it??? It might be easier said than done, but we need to do that.

I was jobless for about a year after my engineering. Many of my friends were also in the same state & every time we used to meet they used to keep crying for job & all. However I just had 1 thing in mind, when the right time comes, I will get one. I enjoyed that year by doing all things I love. Playing Sports, Learning music, working out, going to new places ( btw I did attend a lot of interview too). In fact after some time, my parents were like don't go for any more interviews & join dad's business. But I wanted a job & I had faith that I would. Eventually I got one after many tries.

Problems of life are like a snake crossing our legs. If one gets worried, impatient & try to fiddle with it, it might bite us; but if we just stand still & let it pass by, it will cross without harming.

So the bottom line is that life might "APPEAR" difficult ( coz life is not difficult, it just appears to be), we need to face each phase of it with a smile. :)
