Tiffs and Greed….

Funny subject is it? Actually not, when tiffs are not taken appropriately (that too when personal and professional things are together VERY THIN LINE)....The week which passed away was one of the good learning’s for me, while I always knew when individuals highlight or show slip-ups in others the usual reaction would be to defend themselves.... But I never knew that a long and good relation/s can come to an END by doing so!

Well now I started thinking “am I at fault” for being what I am! Don’t know (my instinct says NO). I might have hurt, but definitely not for my fault.... Are you ready to discuss again and patch-up? NO. Can we sit and solve? Yes... Do I expect the same back what I give? Probably the answer is Yes! Too many things ha? I think I am grafting over these things time and again in relations. :-(

Greed is one of those things which is part of everybody and to a degree I guess it's OK. But is it OK in trusted relations? Naaa.... I don’t think so. I was bewildered, when I observed some of my trusted, in-fact very trusted person/s! changing words extremely opposite side, for their monetary benefits. Thus Greed rule even relations? Gosh where am I heading too?...?...?

“One's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions”

Above was very rightly said by Oliver Wendell Holmes, too many thoughts and ideas pondering around… the desire to achieve the goal is growing stronger and stronger, day by day, I know for sure (with blessing of my god, my well-wishers and my friends) I will not be the same what I was yesterday and today for sure for tomorrow… but the thirst to know the destination is driving me crazy! I am yet not tired, then why the thirst to know the destination??? – unanswered.

Added fuel to my thoughts are Sameer's views, we had a detail discussion yesterday (07 Sep 2010) where a point hooked me at “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor…..Explore and Achieve." I couldn’t be what I desired at my childhood today, perhaps that’s making me hooked to that point. Sameer is always influential with his views on me, in-fact I changed my opinions in many instances when we contested upon issues. My growing relation with him, also changed me on how I perceive things – for good.

After dropping back Sameer at his home yesterday, I was totally lost with my thoughts and was thinking till late night 1.00am onto what’s next?? Some feelers hint me and make me contented that something big is on its way, but yet again these are the similar feeling I always have whenever I think new and big… this time it’s something more. Currently the driving force in me is at its best and pushing me hard to do something new, big and achieve it, this time I will not let this force down till I achieve something big… might take time, but want to succeed it for sure. – hoping for best!

Sameer :: formally known as Sameer Chhabra, he claims himself as common man, with common interests, he also claims his tastes are very simple, he is always satisfied with the very best, nature is what he respects and anything natural is what he admires. I know him from 4.5 years now, the way he perceive things… simply superb and a good person to be with, but he is not as simple as he claims :-)

A New Journey Begins…

A package of blind commitment with love. Why I call it as blind commitment? I personally feel marriage is a one such relation where, two different souls are bonded blindly and strongly (in arrange marriages, as mine). Where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible… hmmm what else? the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family. I started accepting the fact that marriage is wonderful union, where a couple first learn how to limit their wishes, abide by rules, and consider the rights and needs of others…..call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, whatever you call it, whoever you are, you will need one… indeed families are the compass that guide us, they are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.

I am very thankful to my God for all the occurrences in my life, in recent past and looking forward for a beautiful journey ahead.

“ The will of God will never take you, where the grace of God cannot keep you, where the arms of God cannot support you, where the riches of God cannot supply your needs, where the power of God cannot endow you. The will of God will never take you, where the Spirit of God cannot work through you, where the wisdom of God cannot teach you, where the army of God cannot protect you, where the hands of God cannot mold you. The will of God will never take you, where the love of God cannot enfold you, where the mercies of God cannot sustain you, where the peace of God cannot calm your fears, where the authority of God cannot overrule for you. The will of God will never take you, where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears, where the Word of God cannot feed you, where the miracles of God cannot be done for you, where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.

Everything happens for a purpose. We may not see the wisdom of it all now, but trust and believe in the Lord that everything is for the best - Author Unknown”

Happy ??? Unhappy ???

It’s been long time I haven’t posted any article...Yaaaa... too occupied in life.... too many ups and downs on personal front, perhaps that is called “Life”. Most of the times I count myself as dupe, when it comes to personal relations where love, feelings, emotions..etc etc are involved, now it’s been regular thing happening. Every time I wonder why I get deceived so easily in personal relations? Which is not the case in professional front. Possibly because I surrender for anything and everything in personal relations, which I am in thirst off from my early days. I am writing this openly so that I can read, read it daily/as often as possible and try to change the way I behave/take/give in personal relations and will never again face this situation. – I Am Hurt.

While I am trying to overcome this (b’coz I believe that “The man who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself”, and if that is the case....I know I can/will be the worst possible) my parental mom & father have finalized a girl in my life (mixed reactions at this juncture Happy ??? Unhappy ???) and we got engaged last Saturday..i.e. 26 June 2010 and the great occasion in my life is proposed for 13 Aug 2010.

Coming to AIM we are doing great guns as on today, exploring the possibilities of expansion of existing vertical and we are also vigorously looking out for open lands for Joint Ventures “JV’s” to start new vertical “AIM Developers & Builders”, we have already seen few and should shortlist one soon, proposed to start the construction activities by mid/last week of July’10.... hoping for best.

I've Met Someone This Year Whom I Know I Will Never Forget In Many More Years To Come!!!

March – 2010, one of the most memorable month in my life.... I have met my intimates whom I have never seen or never heard of, from the time I was born on this heavenly earth, Pedda Amma, Pedda Nana, Aanaya, Vadina, Tamudu....(Parental Aunt & Uncle, Elder Brother & Sister-In-law and Younger Brother) etc, suddenly I stated feeling I have MY Family! Rather now I have My Family..... What’s surprising is they are Very Happy and Proud to see me in whatever position I am today, than me?.... Guess what kind of notion they were in about my family before meeting Me!

After meeting them I know the exact meaning of “Down to Earth”, I never ever had good impression on family relations…may be these relations are different from the circumstances what I have comein from, it’s time to change my opinion on family relations. I pity myself for not meeting them for long years passed, wish I would have been what I desired for if I met them when we were in real need of right shelter. These days I started learning something really new unknowingly and I am liking it, NOT to Hurt or Burn Relations.... but I see it as real time challenge, atleast for me who have not been into any family relations till this juncture.

Guess what? Uncle & Aunt are adamant, they want me to settle in personal life ASAP – life partner ....”Looking Forward For New Colors in Life” soon and finally with lot of effort I have booked by “Dream Car”, anticipating that giant to join me by end of this month or first week of April’10.... I love it.... very desperate to ride it.

Someone rightly said.... what were you is not important, what are you is important.

I Trust In GOD!

Wow what a wonderful year this has been so far! Too Fast and Too Good, till now. I all I need to do was “Dare To Dream” and it simply works out. Beauty is everything working out to “MY Satisfaction”… I can’t believe myself that I am an “Entrepreneur” now. Thank You God! For staying with me and driving me for my best.

We (Suryanarayana & I) started a Partnership Company by name “AIM Group” and @ AIM our prime motto is to “Build Relations” as the verticals we have chosen are mostly people centric, hence the slogan “We Build Relations” tagged, company got official registered on 09 Feb 2010. Under the banner of “AIM Group” we wish to expand or run/manage following verticals, which would also help us to maintain precise financial accounts:

 AIM Developers & Builders
 AIM Distributors
 AIM Educational Institutions
 AIM Enterprises
 AIM Farming & Development
 AIM Financial Services
 AIM Imports & Exports

I know many of you feel above is unrealistic! As even we felt so initially, however we could convince ourselves saying “Every Drop Makes The Ocean” and we went ahead…. if it’s not in 5-7 years then maybe 7-12 years ;-).
Yet again with great support from my close people (family & friends) we could successfully start the first vertical “AIM Financial Services”… looking forward for more from them. BTW I have decided to be known as “Pandit” in the role what I will be playing in “AIM Group”, since I don’t wish to take advantage of current stage of profile or fame WHICH IS NOT MINE. Somehow I am very fondof this word Pandit… let me see where this drives me too. (hopefully to good!)

Suryanarayana. K – formally known as “Suri Babu” in my circle… we stood-by each other in every thin & thick situations almost from last 15 years.

I Thank You To All Our Well Wishers.

New Year and New Vision

New Year and New Vision…Wow feeling “Super” after getting rid of Contact Lenses & Spectacles, my 6 year of anguish is completely out now. Underwent 100% Blade Free LASIK Laser Treatment on 01 Jan 2010 @ Max Vision, Begumpet. Everything happened so swiftly that I can’t believe that am done now?! Actually I was planning to undergo this treatment almost from past 5 years (I still remember the occasion where I was commented by ex-manager in my previous company, in company tour), finally in 2010. Sometimes it’s good that we are left alone without partying, so that we do important/productivity things. (I was referring to 31st Dec 2009)

All it happened in just 20min, latter the physician over there sentenced me to play blind role for next 2 days…all Black, Black.. NO SMS, Emails, Television…etc etc. I know I might have hurt couple of my friends on great occasion, by not responding to their Calls, SMS’s and followed by my mobiles were off for 3 consecutive days, but it was inevitable… am sure they will standby me, afterall they all are my friends. The day went in same way, latter in the evening Mr. CH. Ajay Kumar (is our close family friend and we know him for last 15 years… we all [my family & extended family] call him Sir and at fun time we call him as Black Fellow) has come to see me.

While I was religiously playing blind role, we went into deep discussions recollecting all the hitches we went through at early stage of our relation almost 13 years back, it was really good feeling to recollect all those hitches and good learning’s from those bad & odd days on 01 Jan 2010 (what a way to begin new year)..... while I agree that today those wounds are already healed, but the instances where our own people have backstabbed which resulted those dire consequences are still so fresh as if we have dealt with them last year. (the pain was of that kind what we went thru)

We stopped at a point where Sir reminded us a stage where we had to light a old candle (with the help of house owners) for whole day for residential usage, as we could not afford to buy matchbox. It was 11.00pm by then and we moved to dinner and followed by bed.

In my opinion every learning learnt from life will have/play a significant role in future…. All learning’s are for GOOD.
