As i was walking down the stairs from Caffe to my place back alone today evening in my office, i saw my image against the tinted glass of the Giant window. The Photo ID cum Security access card was hanging and swinging from my neck as i took the each step downwards. Soon I was lost in memories of my college days a year back around same time. Way back then, the only mission and dream in my life was to travel to my office in big bus bearing the name of the IT company with the photo ID hanging around my neck.(The SRK of Swades movie contributed more to this fascination of mine).
Switch to current day scenario. I hate to hang it on my neck in mrng while getting down the shuttle. So much so that i wait till i reach the gate of the office before wearing that. And will remaove it the moment i step out of huge glass doors(not even wait till i reach the Gates). All that Corporate proffesional dreams seems to be stupid now. Whatever i wanted to acheive is almost available now at my disposal. But i never seem to thank the God, the almighty who i requested way back then at the time of placements in my college to give me an opprtunity to work in my dream world.Never, as far as i remember from the day i joined the company i.e 1-8-08 till today, i've not bothered to even mention a easiest syllable "THANKS" to the almighty.
Why? The innocent answer that i can give here is that i stumbled upon this question only today and so may be in a couple of days i shld be ready with the answer. Jokes apart, the seriousness that the question has pushed me into is quite high. Though it is true that we should not be content with whatever we acheive in our life ( I dont know the person but i still remember his famous line "The day u r content about your acheivement, think that u r dead"), it doesn't means that we should forget the GOD who hears our prayers and grants our wishes. There might be several reasons for me to hate wearing the Company badge or even work there. But i shouldn't forget that it was my own wish to be working in a reputed firm which earns me not only bread and butter but also the much needed stuff in INDIA, the "Social Respect". The current global finacial crisis has brought so many people and industries to Road, but we are totally insulated from this impact, thanks to the almighty for placing us in such institution.
I had thanked god profusey after getting placed. I visited so many temples in just a couple of days after getting placed. That's it. There i closed my chapter of acknowledging God for his help. Tata Bye Bye said my subconcious mind a couple of months later. From the day i joined the company, ther was one issue above the another, and the time factor which together decided to insulate my brain from thinking about acknowledging the Lord who had granted my wish exactly an year ago. My brain was made bad condouctor of conscience.
This sudden fall into the ocean of memories in the evening made me realise my mistake. It is time now to thank the Lord, the unseen divine Force, the almighty, the guardian of every living and non-living being (and which doesn't comes under either of the classification) of this entire creation. Thank You my Dear Lord. Thanks a lot for granting my wish and making me a true proffesional. Kindly Continue to bless me in all my future endeavours. Give me strength and dedication to disperse my work at the best way without any flaws and help me grow humanly, responsibly, financially, mentally and never again make me forget to wish you for granting any small wish of mine in my life. THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH.

Long time after I’m visiting my blog page. Nice to be here. Nice to c my thoughts being penned down and collected stored and preserved safely.

Yesterday, two things happened worth to be mentioned here.

We buyed the microwave Oven atlast. It was a long cherished dream (well…. 3 Months Old to be precise) to own a MW oven. Finally after ransacking my pocket and looting the precious hard earned money of 5 grands from it, and adding another 5.8 grands to it from my ma’s treasury, we got one beautiful SAMSUNG Convection + MW oven. Feels good to see that in Kitchen(with same amount of bad feeling when I look at my bank balance). I tried and experimented a bit on it till 11 in night.

One more thing was that we went to watch this Dance jatre at chitrakala parishat near Hotel Ashoka. Man, such an absolute beauty it was. The way they performed group dance was absolute brilliance. I was so spellbound that I was just standing there without even tilting my neck to any directing even by minutest angle that can be recorded by any sophisticated device on earth. Really, I’m not exaggerating this. What you can learn from that group dance performance is that, the tuffest part in life is to learn team work. You can be a master in any art. Performing that solo is very different than group performance. This applies to all aspects of our life. Take any minor to major examples in life, you will be really surprised to find that it applies to all of them. That too what amazed me a lot is that none of them were looking at each other while dancing, still such a sync was there between all of them!!!!!!!!!! This is really heights I would say. For a person like me who was bought up by just studies, fun etc., I seriously felt that I could have tried my hands on any similar art like this.

The programme has left a huge impact on my mind. Really I’ve decided to watch such kind of stuff in future whenever I get a chance. Let me enjoy the art if not practice it and learn the virtues from it.

Well last but not the least, the day ended with me roasting some peanuts in the new oven. Yum it was. And I was issued a notice by the honorable Judge “Ms. MA” of the supreme court of our House that, from here onwards I should cook the rice whenever her majesty is out on some work. Otherwise the punishment would be no food for that day!!!!!
