My Life Before Corporate Life

In the plains of a forest in Central India, on an early morning …

A Lion wakes up knowing, it has to run Faster than the Slowest Deer … to Survive the Day

And a Deer wakes up knowing, it has to run Faster then the Fastest Lion … to Survive the Day

Time flies ... is an adage well known, and there is no greater testimony to the truth behind this simple saying than, watching project deadlines thunder down upon you at break-neck speed and you actually bragging about enjoying it, to the world outside ….

Few days before joining the buzzing Corporate World … in my life, there were sudden spate of happenings ... Mumbai slang gave way to Corporate lingos, hangouts meant … hanging outside conference rooms awaiting to be called while I broke into a sweat, and kept wondering why everybody that day complained the AC being too cool …. From torn jeans, to neatly trimmed trousers … which eventually got torn due to a wayward nail jutting out at a Branch site, left unattended by one of the careless carpenter … Saturday evening thrillers to … shivers at night when I was made responsible to launch critical projects within stringent timelines …

I think, it was quite a distance traveled and this feeling is a combined mixture of elation and trepidation.

Opposing your Pessimistic Friends … Who Complained About The Wind !!!

To managing conflicts of interest with your Optimistic Friends ... Who Assured It Will Change …

To finally being the Realistic You, where ... You Learnt To Adjust The Sails !!!

Now every morning as I stand poised in front of my mirror getting ready for office, my mirror reflects an altogether different personality …

A personality of an Accountable Executive, Career Oriented Go Getter & A Responsible Citizen … and it was only because …

I Woke Up On Time … Started Running …

Fast … Like The Fastest Deer …

That Today … I Not Only Survive … I Happily Thrive !!!
