Same S**T Different Day

Yeah.. so another day has passed, and still there. Of course, I'm into my job, and love the way its going right now (yup, I've got some new assignments, and they are keeping me quite busy nowadays!), but thats not the only thing that I can do. I am worth much more (I know this is called 'bragging', but anyone who reads this needs to believe me... I'm actually not trying to do that.

Ok ok, yeah maybe a lil', but thats about it. But really, I'm worth much more than just what I'm doing right now. And there have been a few instances where I see my seniors not making upto the mark that I expect them to deliver. And then there are of course a few people who are truly not destined to be there where they are, and are currently a pain in the backside for me as well as the orgn. But isn't that the story of each workplace? Naah, maybe not in places that are run by good educated and top class mgmt honchos. There are different games there (newer kinds of blame games, et al). While I am happy to say that we are conventional, and we keep on doing what every employee in a decent organization does. We try to work, and we try to build good business, and are good at it. Of course there's scope for improvement, however, we just try to ignore those. But I'm really angry about a few guys who should not be there where they are. In fact they dont even qualify to be my senior (at all!!) I believe if you are not well read, if you can't talk properly, and if you need someone else's help to write a simple email, yeah, you should not be in a professional organization, and should continue selling what you had been earlier. This is a place for educated and smart people, but sorry, you have been disqualified (on both instances!)

Am I sounding too bad? Yeah, I AM trying to sound bad, and this one's actually for the one who if he sees this blog, should immediately do something about himself, or should (as I said), go back to selling door-to-door what he's good at. The rest of my team is superb, and should be praised for their efforts, and I believe they can do wonders if they wish to. All its gonna take is 'effort', and each one of them is trying to put in their best, and hopefully we are going to get our company to levels that we have not seen in quite some time.

I know I'm late

If this is how things move, then I think I am one of the really slow ones at it. Yeah, I know that I have been procrastinating some things for quite some time now, but I believe its time that I make a decision and stick to it. Had a long chat with Mrids last week, and could see that this is not only my problem, but it is communicable and highly contagious. Mrids also has this knack of procrastinating things (while she doesn't like to accept that though!), and is quite on the same path as I am. However, we have taken a conscious decision to change things the way they are, and might as well look at better opportunities that we have not been able to focus on in the past.Now this necessarily doesnt mean that I am looking for a change in my job (neither does Mridula), but both of us are trying to find new meanings to our lives. She finds herself to be too entangled into the things that she is doing now, and wishes to break free. I somehow, wish to get into the same web, as I feel that what i have seen of the corporate life till now is quite smooth, and want to feel the complexities in a better manner. Yeah, one may agree and say why don't both of us switch our jobs... But its not possible. She might not be as good as I am, and I might be too good for her job! (Yeah Mridula, I know you might see this someday, and write about me the same way in your blog, but kya karein.... abhi meri baari hai!!)
So, ya, I was talking about finding the right meaning to my life. And i think its quite possible. I somehow have started to feel quite strongly about a lot of people that are in the same fraternity as I am, and have started to question their credibility in the market. Is Real Estate only about being able to get the best brokerage in the market, or is it also about providing your client with the best possible solution for a specific problem that he is currently facing. Yeah, I know that I am complicating things, but thats what I am feeling from within... C o m p l i c a t e d. So, have to start find new ways to keep myself busy, and might as well spend some good time with my friends, and try to do something new, something fresh. Something that has not been thought of (yeah, not even by me!) but theek hai, jab kuchh naya karna hai, toh lets start from an empty plate. Wotsay?

Diwali

Tha Past Few Days!!

Deepak and Mrids had come over to Delhi for the wedding ceremony of Deepak's brother. And we found ways to enjoy the time together...

Deepak and I share a very close relationship. I met Deepak during my college days. He was that spoilt guy who'd spend most of his time in the College canteen, singing songs, bajoing table, playing footabll, and can be seen around with his buddy, Akash loitering all the while in the passes of the Campus.

I joined them.


The journey since then, has been one Roller Coaster ride!! Our relationship has grown stronger with each passing day, and hope it gets better as days pass on....

Back!

So thats me, U can imagine... Understanding the 'True' meaning of MBA, and then reverting back to my Blog 11 months later!!

Yeah, the last year has been full of ups and downs... Loads of fun, and loads of work! And ya, Placements as well.. But learning through the experiences has been the best thing that has happened to me all these months. My projects taught me a lot about my friends, about my strengths (the answer to which I was seeking for years!), and told me why it is important to keep your calm in the most difficult of times...

The New Year has come with a bash, and especially for me, its like a new opportunity to make new relationships, and revive the past ones.. I have made a lot of mistakes, but I am going to make it up to all of them. Yes, it has been a long time that I have clung to a few broken parts of my life, and I think its time I should move on...

But yes, i do have made a few good friends in the last one year, and strengthened a few more relationships. One is Chitrangada, one whom I have been trying to understand for so many years, but have not been able to... And one is my love whom I thought I had understood completely, but have not actually!! So, does that make me less focussed on understanding people? Naah!

And ya, one more thing! The next few months are going to be some of the best times of my life.. I am going to pursue my interests again! I'll sketch, I'll paint, I'll click, and I will see nature again! And enjoy to my heart's extent!!

Starting MBA the right way

Ooh! finally, i've got the time to start feeling the truth of my MBA programme. Just trying to take some time away from my routine life, and moving ahead to the types of the ones who have that passion, that knowledge to bring about a change that would modify the lives of people forever. the aspiration to become an entrepreneur, the dreams of seeing myself making strategies for an organization and seeing them coming true to life... is what i've started to think more and more now. I've understood that to gain something, u need to lose something. its all a game of give and take, but no compromises. Understanding this difference just makes a lot of impact.
