Be a GAME changer! #Life

Today again I was inspired!
Again, his poetry, his style, his creativity motivated me to write my own destiny.
It's not everyday that we come across such a man and even aspire to meet him, but yes I am lucky enough to even get mesmerised.
He's not my dream man but man of dreams, one and only 'piyush pandey'!!!
Many of you might not be familiar with his name  but trust me he is a big name when it comes to our day to day life. He comes into our living room everyday, talk to us for 30 seconds, convince us and leave.
30 seconds???
Yes, 30 seconds. He is the man behind many successful advertisements in India. To name few like cadbury-'Kuch baat hai zindagi mei', fevikwik, m-seal and many more.
From being a Ranjhi cricketer to an ad man. He's definitely the don draper of Indian advertisement.

Game is never over till the last ball 

The 'Hero'

Never Give up!! #Life

In this journey of life there are lots of ups and down:

*Sometimes people don't understand you and sometimes you don't understand them.

*Sometimes no matter how hard you work you never get to see the expected Results.

*Things just don't work out the way they should have.

*People will add to your misery knowingly or unknowingly.

*You have to smile when you don't even feel like.

*You see happy faces around and fails to know the reason for your sadness.

But amid all this always remember that.........

It's not over until you win!!!

     

Are you asking the right questions???

..............watch out this space for more!!!!

Here I come!

It feels like ages that I have blogged here. Well, in the life of a blogger even a gap of a couple of months seem like a year.

The regular readers of my blog have a decent idea of the topics that I have shared so far. It has always been about LIFE.

The journey would not be complete if I do not mention the life @MBA college. So let me take you through this one month of my MBA life, spent here in this far and distant land.

Yes, a distant land, thousands of miles away from home and civilisation, only to be connected by technology, the only window to the REAL world.

MBA was never going to be easy. Somewhere and somehow I knew this, but it was my dream to be here and yes, the dream did come true!

A month has just passed and my first term will end in few days.  And one thing I would never say is that I don't know how time flew. 

Yes! I came to know each and every passing second. The tight deadlines, humongous syllabus, presentations and the dreadful tests (and obviously the Results). The 5 hour luxury sleep , queues to wash-rooms and to top it off, how can  I not mention  about this humid weather.

Phew!!

But, whenever I look back at the life that I have led in these few weeks, I found these moments and this life to be far better and purposeful than ever before.

I might sound crazy to some people but this is what makes me feel the  most alive. My friends had complained a lot about this life and had compared it with other MBA colleges where the party fever is forever on and people have ample time for themselves and blah blah blah...

I was just amazed to discover that people have so many dreams and pursuing an MBA degree is just one of them.

Then I look at myself and ask myself why  I am so happy!?

I am happy because I am free, I have the liberty and the strength to decide and give direction to my life. Its not like that before this I never had this liberty (this is the sole reason I am in MBA) but this time its different. This time I know there would be less anticipation and more excitement (certainty) towards a bright future.

                                            

Daily dose of happiness

                                     

It was raining hard, I ran and stood under a tree. It was cold and I was feeling famished. Just then, I smelled the fragrance of  ginger tea and butter paranthas. It was like an oasis in desert. When I placed my hand inside my pocket, I found it empty.

I turned my head to a different direction, then suddenly it struck me, why not.

But soon another thought crossed my mind, "No, he's poor, its his bread and butter, he wont give it just like that". But.....

                         "If you don't ask, the answer is always no."

So, I asked, if it was fine to give me tea and parantha now and I would pay him later.

His words, "Why not".

I realised no matter how less or more one has, it should be the heart that needs to be big.

Super Morning!!!

War is Inevitable

In our day to day life, we face situations where we need to take concrete decisions. Sometimes these decisions are obvious and sometimes they are difficult to take.
Of all such difficult decisions I came across one where one has to stand up against ones's friend. Whenever we befriend someone or claim someone to be our friend that automatically means that we will always stand by our friend.

But does it hold true always?

I doubt, and am sure it takes lot of courage and strength to stand up against our friend with whom we have a special bond and doesn't want it to get ruined. We wont say we fear our friend but fear of losing the friend.

But can we still let our friend do whatever he/she wants even if jolts our conscience?

In 80% of the cases, people don't speak up against their friend. This is a sad truth, We just listen to our friend's grievances and don't actually get involved in it or provide suggestions which may help to improve our friend or the mental understanding. We generally don't consider, the idea of Making our friend realise that how not so correct he/she is and what should be done to improve.

Yesterday, someone I have known took the courage to stand up and confront his own friend for someone else. Sounds brave to me!

isnt it?

By not guiding our friend we only secure our friendship for moments or for days or months but when we support what is right rather than our friend , we actually support our friend.

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

A beautiful composition by Guns & Roses. I had heard it for the very first time at #satva #Chandigarh, that too live.
The song that made me realise that I am missing out too much in life like live music, live concerts, great ambience, interesting people, experiences, adventure etc.

Life is too short to miss out on anything!

So live your life, explore it to the core....... before you knock on the heavens door!

PS: A picture of the band singing knocking on heaven's door.

2015!

It’s a New Year and it took a lot of time for me to come up with my New Year resolution, better late than never.

So here I go, this year I want to be wiser and better than my 2014 version, so I have thought of travelling as one of the medium to be one.

I have decided to travel one city every month, explore the culture and tradition of the city.

My quest for knowledge will start with my birth city -Amritsar, Punjab.

Stay tuned for the upcoming places and the whole new adventures!!

When I worked hard, I failed miserably!

When I entered the “highly lucrative sector” of this country, I really wanted to explore myself and excel in this field. I worked very hard to prove myself. But, what I achieved was utter failure. I was demoted and demoted again!

I concluded that maybe this was not my cup of tea, this was not my area, so filled with hope and after giving a lot of thought I decided to give myself a new direction!

Two years of consistent hard work and sacrifice, got me a below average result. Totally surprised and confused but not shattered!

I am still associated with the “highly lucrative sector” and have not only received accolades but a progression and a substantial amount of hike. There are friends and colleagues who might have worked harder than me, but are not able to achieve the desired result.

If someone asked me if I ever wanted this, I would say yes. I would rather say that it would have been merrier, had I got it when I wanted this to happen to me so that I dont have to look for other options in life.

But then, this is life!!

I am still looking forward towards the choices I have made with a positive outlook.
