The Big Five years......

When I get this question inside I just went thru my entire five years of journey in corporate.

It was amazing and challenging.

When we attended the interviews in college and when they asked what you want to be after five years definitely I don’t had a clue that time.

But all went well in the last five years by God’s grace.

I started in Berger Paints along with my classmates and I don’t know if I missed someone here, if so sorry.

Amazing start with a bunch of experienced senior fellas in the office and never expected kind of job.

My career started as a Sales Representative and now a Regional Manager.

The journey got a lot of ups and downs but believed in the theory “Survival of the fittest” and it worked for me. Always tried to be the fittest to survive among competition.

A walkthrough as below,

Year 1 : Realization of the corporate world. MBA is not all about the white collar job If you are not an IIM

Year 2 : The break through. All new challenge. The lone warrior in the market

Year 3 : MBA paid back making me an Assistant Manager

Year 4 : Manager on a Regional role

Year 5 : Regional Manager – South & West

Year 6 : Journey continues……..

Dream big and sky is always the limit……

So guys where you find yourself after ten years?.

LOL that’s a funny question to answer now.

Forget the yesterdays

Live today at the moment

And tomorrow – Lets see when it is tomorrow..

Cheers my friends and all the best..!!!!!

Traveller on move

Travelling is just not covering distance for me its something different, really different...

I am a crazy traveller... i love being on the move for hours or days or any time.. This is the one thing I never felt tired of it, naa that may be exaggerating. There were many instances where i got pissed of the travelling and slept like a log. But the best part in me is I will be ready for the next journey once I woke up. Hehe

I love the way I am. And whatever it may be I love being me all the time.. All the good in me (if its there :P) and all the bad in me (for sure its there) I like myself the way it is.. :)

All my family members use to ask me this, how u can travel non-stop?.. I just smile for that question and say just like that.. Yeah its just like that.

I love the change happens in geography while travelling, i love the changes in sceneries while travelling, i love the changes in languages while travelling, I love the changes in climate while travelling, I love the changes in food and culture while travelling. Change is a part of life and its the only constant thing. Tell me where else you can find these many changes in an instant. That's the beauty of travelling.

The hunger for visiting new places never ends in me. That keeps me moving across the geography. I always had a habit from my childhood itself that, I use to keep a map of India in my mind and keep a tick mark on the places where all I visited (virtually OK no confusions LOL). So whenever I think of a new trip I use to cross check my coverage in the map. And I get excited if i visit a new place which is in some corner of that map.

I always fond of flying. I don't know am so crazy about it. And flying is my favourite mode of transport. I too had readings on the aeronautics and the technology behind the flying objects. But I still wonder that how a machine which weighs many tons floating in the sky?. To be frank now also I will be restless for a minute if i hear the sound of an aeroplane or a copter in the sky. If the situation is favorable (if nobody is watching me :) ) I will look at the sky to search for the flying machine. And for me to look that, I forced many to look at it many a times. :P.

I am bad in keeping many a things in memory but never on the places where all I have visited. Am in Hyderabad now and yesterday was in Bangalore and few days back I was in Cochin. This change in location made me to write this meaningful topic ( CRAP :P) here, so that I can read this once in a while and can laugh thinking that I am always a mad in my own way. hehehe..

So this is Swaraj The Traveller - On Move.. Going forward keeping the map wide open putting more tick marks all over the country.

Let me move..

Allow me to move..

I love this floating..

I am the Traveller..

Love being on the move..

Don't stop me from this..

I don't want to..

Don't complaint about this..

I wont change..

Let me move..

Allow me to move..

I love this floating..

I am the Traveller..

Love being on the move..

Let your thoughts wander around...

Thoughts itself is an imaginery stuff. We think a lot n imagine the world as in two ways. one as it is set by others and other as we set in our own convenience,

I feel its better in the second way. Let the thought wander around. Why we need to take the world so set, lets take the world which is moulded in the shape what we need to..

When you leave your thoughts to wander you feel weightless as in the space. it can go any direction hit somewhere bounce back and find a new direction to move around. Writing all this i know i have my own crappy thinking inside and that only forcing me to write it here.. LOL

Whenever i tried to hold my thinking i faced a lotta trouble and whenever i left it to go its own felt so easy and good. why to carry the burden of that stupid thinking.

Let your thoughts wander around.. just to make yourself happy and easy..

A Question to Life

I am in a good mood now to write some crap over here. just wanna write something..

i was thinking of a subject to write and got it a question to life... i dont know why it came to my mind now but just a topic. No relevent points to quote in it but a topic to write...

I am flaoting and a good feel inside but when i ask is it really a good feel i am in doubt. Coz i dont know what exactly is running inside my mind. This is a good feeling to carry inside.

What if you get everything u want in life and what if u didnt get anything u want in life?.. what makes more impact and what makes most of it in life?...

Its a very simple question to ask but a very difficult question to answer. what if?..

I am also in the same dilemma how to answer such a question to myself. i dont have a clear answer or view on this. But everything in life depends on those questions. Only difference is in people who take it in different ways.

We call people lucky when we saw them happy and living a king size life. We will say "Oh he is a lucky chap".. Is it the case only with those lucky chaps?. why we feel its not happening with everyone ?. I think its the feeling we all carry in life that we dont have enough which we expects to have in life.

Everyone have some or other things to keep ourself happy. Only thing is we need to utilize it in its proper format.

Lets take the day as minute and minute as second. Enjoy the moments in its pure form you will finally come to know that the lucky chap concept is not a distant part of ur life but its already there in u.

So that's all folks. If u didnt get anything from this topic u can surely say u wasted beautiful five minutes of ur life for a crap topic from me LOL...

"Priority and life"

“Priority” the word means something to be considered or done as per the dictionary in my phone. I was wondering such a simple word but as complicated as it is.

What is the importance of the word priority in our life. May be the word is not that important but the meaning of that word in life is much more important. Yes priority is the one thing which drives us in life.

Each and every movement of us is due to the priorities we set. Most of the times its unconscious but many a times it’s a conscious effort only. I know many of you will not agree about what I am saying here. But this I felt when I started realizing the facts which is in and around my day to day life.

All happens coz of this priority set by each one of us. My priority is not your priority and when you expect something think before whether that can be the other person’s priority. When you find out after a cross check, you may find the answer and you will understand why there is only expectations and agony inside rather than the result you expected.

Few days back I was with my friend in Madurai, we had been there for our practical internal exams. It was a weekend and we were there on the info that the exam is on Sunday. Unfortunately they postponed the exam to Monday. He was from Chennai and I went from Cochin just for this internals. I asked him what next?. We were thinking what the best possible option we got in hand. And he said, Swaraj we are going back tonight and let’s leave this exam. I asked him why?. The answer was that’s not our first priority, we got a job in hand to be delivered on time and it wont happen if we are not going back tonight. And yes that was the exact reason we went back, the priority to finish the pending or planned work the next day rather than giving that internals. From that moment this word priority was there in my mind and the effect of it in decision making in our life.

I was thinking of this from many days, how priorities are set by us and how we are acting according to that. I was trying to find out what can be the reasons for many things which are not happening in favor of me. When I left my thoughts to wander I understood. When I am not the priority, how things can work in favor of me. The result will be only expectations and agony.

Understanding this fact is a bit hard coz we are human being with the so called emotions.
But my view is when you realize someone have you as priority, try giving back at least a certain percentage of the priority he/she expects. As the word meaning I mentioned in the beginning it is something to be considered if not done. It does hurts otherwise….

Just adding an sms I got in the morning, "Remember the time we use to say, "Lets meet and plan something". Now are the days where we say, "Lets plan and meet someday". Friends are same just priorities changed". Priorities changes.

My priority for now was to scribble on this topic. I don’t know whether this got some meaning or whether it’s worth reading. But my blog, my time and my thoughts. Let it be this way..

See you again on some other topics which come to my mind…

Today is a New Day..

We say today is a new day…

If that so…
Then,

Why we feel of yesterday,
Why we still feel missing…?

Why we carry the memories,
Why all the past still remains fresh…?

Why we not able to find new things,
Why we stick around with the old ones…?

Why no daily new friends,
Why we still wait for our old pals…?

Why we feel to go back to the school days,
Why we still feel those were the golden days…?

Why we still keep our slam books,
Why we smile when we read it again...?

Why we keep those college photos,
Why we search for those faces…?

Why we still think of our old crushes,
Why we feel happy that I was loved…?

Why we feel when we loose someone,
Why we still take time to recover…?

Why we carry the same hard feelings,
Why we still say life has to move on…?

Why all the elements around remains same,
Why the new change not coming here…?

Why we are thinking of all these,
Why we are unable to leave all this…?

We still say,

Today is a New Day….

Sree Krishna College - First day

After the so called first milestone of life SSLC, the next tension was of joining a good college for pre degree (the reason I used good college was coz for the reason of getting a good coaching for entrance :) ).

St.Thomas ruled out, kerala Varma ruled out and finally our destiny Sree Krishna College Guruvayoor gave me a chance to study first group (PCM). So in short I decided to be there for another 2 years of my life. Heard a lot about the college when we were in Bethany school itself. But the excitement of joining a college where we heard about the 100% freedom was overflowing inside my heart and the excitement increased day by day.

Before the joining date of college I had been to SKC with one of ma friend from my place who just completed his pre degree there. I was roaming around with him all over the college where we (the first years) are not suppose to go. And the seniors were there all around while I was doing my show off in the college with their senior. And the day got over we went back.

After a month.
Impact of roaming around in the college before the joining date were waiting for me there in the college. Without knowing all those went to class and sat like a cat in the class. Intro of new teachers, students, the student's union etc etc were there in the class. But inside our mind there was only one thing the intro of our seniors. Whenever we came out for the break only thing asked were whether they are coming to our class today?.

About my seniors
I will say the most freaking guys I ever met in my life. Not one but everyone I will say they can compete each other for showing Who is the best. A group of real good looking rascals. The cruel to the coolest, the hunk to the dump they were of a perfect mix. Literally we all were afraid of whats gonna be next?.

And the time of senior's entry to the class. They were in group of some 20 or 25 at a time to the class. Pin drop silence in the class all were looking down or to themselves and was praying inside that not my name today. They were giving instructions to us about how to be in the campus and what they expect from us. There was nothing to say or ask. All were saying yes for everything they said in the class.

Everyone was rushing to go out of the campus in the evening. Reached near the college gate I got the call. Hey You Come Here. All the energy which gained to reach the gate gone in that moment. Started the tape recorded message with everyone I mean self introduction. One of ma senior showed the picture of Lord Krishna and asked do you know who is it?.. I said yup thats Sree Krishna. He said, Fine give him a salute. I asked what?. He got wild and asked me to salute like an NCC cadet. And I gave Krishna a salute like NCC guy. Some how he got convinced by my act he said good you can go meet me tomorrow. Got life back I left the college.

That first day of my class there is memorable forever. The excitement, the agony, the anger etc etc many kinda feelings on a single day. That was the only day I had such an experience. I had studied in many places after that but never saw a campus or seniors or anything like what I had in SKC. Missing my good old days.

Need to mention few of the names of my seniors where they inspired me in the campus.

First name I take is of Lajish, this is the one name I heard when entered into the campus. Colorful skinny jeans, stone wash shirts, Long curly hair and a sharp lock like Bobby in Gupt. He was like a terror. His impact on me was to have guts to wear anything to college.

Then the next name is Aamir Poulani. Wow hell of a guy. He is thin very fair Irani. But killer looks, the way he look at us were amazing. Few dialogues more looks and action. He is the one who made understand the importance of looks.

Then Roozal, our class mates use to say about this guy like they use to get up in the middle of their sleep and scream as Roozal Roozal LOL....

Then Shaheer and Sugesh, most of the time they were together. Two too good looking guys who compete each other for their looks and glamour. Still they are together and thats the bond they got.

Then its Habeeb, who inspired me with his dancing and his bike stunts. He gave me the chance to be a part of their dance team and encouraged me for dancing. He rocks always.

Then Shylu, a hard core Aamir Khan fan with good looks and style. His drawing were amazing.

Then many many I just cant explain about all here. But the two years were amazing. Lot of memories.

So more and more detailed stories in other topics.... So chao..:)
