New Beginning
Huh! New year, new resolutions, new steps. Today, I wake with some unusual sensation and alarm clock was showing 8:00 Am. Oh! Great, at least I manage to wake early on the very first day of year. Really, memorable moment for sleeping addicts. Since my school days, I kept a note of new things, resolutions that I will trail throughout the year. Most of them related to studies like doing homework on time, no cheating of class work, getting good marks, all work in good quality writing, so that I could get "Very Good" remarks on my homework and blah blah. Truth is, after one week, things goes back to pedigree, movies gets precedence over studies and teacher kept me scolding over my bad handwriting and me laughing all the time in the class. There was my Hindi teacher, who always complains to my mummy "Your son always keeps on talking and laughing in my class", but the good point is, my teacher never punished me for that. Thanks, to my report card that kept me out of trouble.
Well, those were school days; life has changed in the college. Though, in the past three years, I have not made any resolution but this time strongly need precise strides to follow. Few days back, I read article Café Coffee Day by Subroto Bagchi in Friday India times. Well he is one of the founders of Mind tree, and narrated a story about owner of Café Coffee day -a restaurant chain. I was very much stimulated by the passion, determination, valor and killing attitude of that guy. Full story can be found on 30th December E-paper, business time section in Indiatimes. And after reading story, I think one should be very clear about his/her goal, vision and Lakshay (that sounds great)...
I do not see myself right guy to preach on vision, may be Vivek and Naresh , but I desperately need one. I see many people around me, whose ambition is to do MBA, MS, IAS and then go to abroad, earn lots of money and after that the end - picture khatam. Is getting a higher degree, earning money and ya managing that 3-pointer is a goal for people. People keep mugging themselves in books so as to get 3.5 pointer by rattafication and some company like Mindtree will come, see your pointer and after that one will be doing programming, throughout their life and spending stereotypically 14 hours in office. If this is the case, we people should have started reading C, JAVA, and Networks in our V class and up to this time, we will be in some league of extraordinary...No offence to such people but I honestly do not see myself in that category.
I see my goals as a convergence of technology, art, humanity, cognitive science, moral science, social science and experience intersperse together. Lesson in moral science are still relevant, art makes things aesthetically spectacular, humanity tells significance of society and most important experience guides in your tough times. Learning technology means only when it serves society, good marks should reflect your expertise, knowledge not hunger of grades, MBA, MS are tools of accomplishment to gain excellence in area of awareness and not for just getting money. Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination. Giving back to society makes you content and most rewarding feeling. Look at yourself in the mirror of introspection. That is the way you can become flawless in the spiritual mirror of your soul. After all, life is all about translating dreams into reality.
If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed.
I wish all my friends dream meet reality in 2006 and me be proud saying-I have friends in IIM's and studying in USA, UK.
Happy New Year to all of you.
Have a great 2006
