Road Ahead, DREAM which may come true.

Aaaahhh... another good day... I feel so... Even after reaching Office late, getting drenched in rain twice, I feel its really a good day... and no, its not sarcasm, its really true.

Yesterday, I finished this book, "the 3 mistakes of my life" by Chetan Bhagat. I was already impressed by his previous books "5 point someone" and "one night @ the call center". But this third book, seriously made some impact. He is so natural at attacking the mind of his reader. Yeah attacking I suppose is the right term as you make your Reader either submit to him, or fight back the urge to continue reading. I continued, I didn't even had to fight back. The life of Govind, and his Friends, it was really heartening to read.

Whatever, point is, what you achieve something is not that important, but how you achieved it, thats what I think is important. Say for example, if a Millionaire's son is handling his Dad's business, what he achieved then. And then, if someone else becomes Millionaire from the scratch, I guess his story would be worth reading, not the story of Millionaire's son.

There is one dream of mine. Its special, and rest all of my ambitions and my goals revolve around this particular dream. Very few knows this. And don't ask me what it is...

Someone ask, "Why you are going for Wild Goose Chase?"
I replied, "Its something I just want to."
He again asked, "But still, what about others?"
I replied, "They won't be affected by this."
He counterattacks, "It may destroy you."
I replied, "I will not let that happen. At the end, if I will achieve, I will be happy. Otherwise, I promise you, I wont be sad. Its just something I need to do."
He again opened up his mouth questioning, "But you also doesn't know, if you will be able to achieve it?"
I replied, "I will never know until I try."

I am really glad to have friends like him, who do cares for me. And I know, they will be the ones who will appreciate me as well.

We don't know what our future holds, what we await at the other end. We can work over it, try to make it possible. Its not a drawing book, where you can paint your dreams. Its just like you are walking a path, somewhere, green pasture, somewhere pebbles. You have to walk and walk, until you reach the other end of the road, other end which is still unexplored. No one has ever been to that place before. So how will you know, what it will be there. Until you reach, until you try, you will never ever be able to know. But just leaving the path in between dreading the worst is just wrong. May be there are hundreds of Dragons waiting for their prey and it may just turns out to be you as their piece of Dinner. But still, you will be able to see the Dragon which none other have seen before. And it may as well is possible, you will be able to become Mighty Dragon Rider.

Do you have it what it takes to walk the road? Its upto you to decide. I may give you dreams, that there is such a beautiful life out there at the other end of the road,or it may be worse. But its upto you to walk the path. Ask yourself, will you be able to walk and will face boldly whatever you will face.

Now if you really want to stride the lane, then what you are waiting for? Pack your Bag, wear your shoes, prepare yourself, hold your Hopes High, and Walk the Lane.

Rain, Gray Clouds, Success, Tea and Bhaaji

Today the weather here in Mumbai is just great... Lil sunshine with drizzling rain. After so many days, here in Mumbai, taking toll of scorching sun, which seriously made me perspire like anything, I felt really good. Rain is drizzling with gray atmosphere, this feeling is not less then awesome. Still, there was use to be the time whence I loved getting drench in the rain, back in Shimla where I completed my graduation. It was just awesome. Now time has changed, when I worry about reaching my Workplace and avoid getting wet, not to fell ill or getting dirty. I don't know how to say about this, but then this aroma of soil getting soaked with drips of rain, is something. Though its nothing compared to what it was used to be in Ranchi (my hometown) and Shimla (my Gurukool). And a suggestion for free, you must try Tea and Pakoras when its raining.

I don't know, but out of nowhere, these thoughts came flying by in my Mind... I think I can share with you all guys. Maybe this is what you guys also feel or alike. I was just wondering whats it takes to be successful. Many says, you have to pay to get successful, in terms of your time, value, love and many other factors. Means how come some sacrifice could let you achieve success? I was having some deep conversation with my Guru. I then put up this question in front of him, that what actually it takes to be successful. Is it sacrifice or what. His answer was something which I felt convincing... and not actually convincing, I felt this must be the true definition.
He told me, it just takes three things:
  1. Be Liked: By this he meant, that you should be known... and not only known, you should be liked. You should be liked by your elders, your beloved, your friends, your colleagues, your Boss, your Juniors and all other people around you. Now this is something which is intriguing. Its upto us, how we make ourselves being liked by so many people. Our aura should be strong. Behavior should be good. How you carry on and people should enjoy with you... darn it... so much to do...
  2. Be Inquisitive: Now thats something. OK... say, you have inquisitive nature. How come thats gonna help you? Ofcourse it will. After all knowledge is what lets you apply solution correctly. If you don't have any prior knowledge of something, how you gonna handle any project related to that. Hmmm, thats not a problem. I have ample of bytes left in my Brain.
  3. Have abundance of energy: OK, you are being liked by all, and have a huge knowledge base. But still, if you have less energy to do what it takes, how you suppose you will be able to accomplish some tasks in time. And there it is, you lose important deadline. Also, if you work hard, and then you don't have much energy left with you to spend some time with your own pals, you will start losing your values in front of them. And even after this, you don't get much time to experiment and gather some knowledge, then?. Now this is going to be difficult. I am lazy bum, oooffff...
And 4th what I think important is, Time Management. Use your time decisively. Spend them at right moment. Take rest properly, and recharge your batteries. That way, you can move forward.
So its not sacrifice, its management. Hmmmm..... Points

I guess these 4 things are what if done properly, Success is not so far away then.

Now my brain is getting heavy with these kinds of heavy talks. But hey, today is Saturday...its weekend. Just awesome. I am planning to watch some movies at home. Anyone wants to join me? Hey I will arrange some beverages as well. :D
