A few things I learnt in 2008

Today is the beginning of a new year as per english calender. We used to think so much about this that the whole concept has got changed over the time. Therefore, today is not just an ordinary day. In my case, it gives me a 'bahana' to recollect last year and plan for coming days (Once more, I used to do everyday though!).

I learnt a lot last year. That was not a great year,in fact it was not not at all a good year. Let me pen down a few points:


1. Professionalism:: If you are working for a private company where increment is performance based, you are bound to face politics. There may be some appropriate word for politics, not coming to my mind now. I am really not sure what's the best way to do it. From my point of view I believe 2 kind of people will survive here---One who extremely brilliant, other who can play politics. Many a times it will screw up your relationship with your peers. You will feel like though they are laughing, that is only half-hearted. Many a times you will get frustrated for the money factor. Your concerned point will be mainly with the second kind of people, you know that you are better deserved than him/her. Also, diversity or girl factor is a big big concern. You can't fight with this problems in a lower-level role. But the fact that you know these things and ready to face, will not make you frustrated. After that you will be able to construct your own solutions for this kind of scenarios, like i have done for myself. I learnt a lot about MNC professional life, kahani abhi baaki hain mere dost, kyuki ending is not happening as per my wish till now.


2. Choosing Partner:: Some people used to say you should roam/be with those people like whom you want to be. For my view, I think what matters most is your thinking frequency in resonance or not. Particularly when the case is sharing minimum 5-6 hours per day this is very important. There might be some very good girl/boy, but the environment where he/she brought up is entirly different from yours. In that case there won't be resonance anytime. Things won't work out and the whole affair will create a lot of mental tensions in your life. So keep your home/personal life simple and the way you were brought up by your parents.


3. NGO:: I learnt a lot about many NGOs this year. So many things fascinated me--How and why people are doing something for others? In my state i hardly found this, but here I am surprised to see people's enthu to work for others. I am not denying the dark side if it, but still...There are some good people in this world. When I look and read about them, I feel so good. I get inspired to work for others, to bring one smile in the face of someone whom I never knew. I collected many info about ILP, UNO Online Volunteering, HRF, RoomToRead, CRY etc. I am having good impression about the NGO concept. I am sure many people are trying to do something extra, something for general people....I definitely urge to get acquinted with the NGO concept. It can opne so many information/doors for you. I can apprehend in my future something big will happen thru an NGO concept.


4. DEATH:: I used to tell people you will come to know you are becoming adult when your own people will start leaving you for good. Death is a huge Shift+Delete. It destroys all the plan that you and your family have. You need to make a whole new start with the absence of someone...It is very difficult unless you face it. A big emptiness will come into your life, you will keep on trying to fill that up. Life never stops though, you will bring change into your plans, you will bring new people, you will bring new processes into your system--the cart will again start. This time it became more strong emotionally.


5. LOVE:: A girl with long hairs, who used to read novels, who is smart like......, who ...... All my criterias got demolished suddenly. My concept on love and girls has got changed suddenly. Now-a-days I don't think and expect anything. When some movie(mostly hindi) or novel again describes that concept, I feel so angry and irritated. All false--I scream often. BUt still am confused sometimes--my that feeling was immature or the current one? In either case, the fact that i am able to judge the two scenarios I have started thinking myself mature and adult. Though the true lies in the fact--the concept girl was the one whom I always loved.


6. Finance:: I learnt a lot financial stuffs this year and I do think each and every person should know little about the terms finance and economy. Internet is the one tool who can help anyone for the same. But you need to take risk and should have interest in Money. Equity trading, Mutual Fund, ULIP , Commodity trading (I lost INR 9500), Referrel Marketing(Very Bad- I lost INR 35000), Liquid Cash and the terms like GDP, CRR, Inflation, Sensex etc etc....people should know all this. You should plan your spendings, savings and there should be regular audits on your plannings. This things will really help you.


7. Dream High::  If you dream high and keep hardwork as your partner, believe me, nothing can stop you. I will write this story when I will think the story gets over. And, I promise, the day will come soon.


Wish all of you an extra 2009. may you do something this time, which you never did till now.
