Balance in Life

I know you must be wondering as what kind of blog I am writing.But, believe me... people who belong to India can easily connect with this mentality.

We try to play too safe. Please forgive me for generalizing this phenomenon. Just take my example. I graduated from one of the finest and best college in the country. Did well there (read got Institute level prizes for Academic performances as well as for doing stuff in extra-curricular activities.). But still, took risk and ventured into some different field.

But, there... again... left the things on itself. I thought, I had studied enough and now, i would not like to put extra pressure on my body. And with this superb attitude, I started my professional career.

The degree saved me from the grace (read disgrace) all the time. But how long would it have helped me? When, I started feeling the pain of being in the lower half of the working professional, I started waking up.

I think … I was rusted a bit. Perhaps I decided to take test when my mind was completely occupied with someone else. I know you are right. I was totally lost into her. All of my free time use to go to her. And if I try to cut down in that time, I have to put twice the time I saved in reconciling with her. So that way, I gave my first GMAT. I was doomed when I started. Result was not different. It was as it was supposed to be. But NO REGRETS!!

My Dad never told me to quit. He never quit despite failing when he should have quit. So I also never quit. I didn't quit this time also. I regrouped myself from the disgrace. Again, I did not solve the root problem. I realized it later. But, this time, I was adamant. I was willing to do anything to reach my goal. But, with little bit of eyesight, I tried to shoot on the target. Of course, not such a score to be very proud of in my community.... but I am proud of it. I got it after lots of struggle. There was not enough time after office (My office timing were 9-11 at least 6 days a week)...and the rest of the time, I was easy going. And meanwhile...Whenever, I had some goal like this... Some idea used to come in my mind.

I had never resisted the entrepreneur in me. I have always let him fly. But don't know why it always wants to fly in the wrong time. But okay. I am happy.

PERIOD.

What I was thinking as the most difficult step in the journey to MBA was the easiest one. The application process, getting recommendation etc are very crucial and very time-taking compared to studying for GMAT. But anyways... things are moving at slow pace.

My life has been his blessing. Whatever good I have done has been because of him. And the future good also he has planned for me. The only thing he asks me is to concentrate. Once I concentrate, he gives me. He is very merciful to me. I love him. I adore him.

This blog is supposed to be a starting point. It is something like a prayer which I always do before embarking on something worthwhile. I know, I am a bit late. But it’s better than never. I will work hard, modify, rectify and will submit the best possible application. Rest is his blessing. When he has done so much to me, I hope he also has planned future for me. Jai Shankar bhagwaan ji ki.
