Career - Part Two - Year One - Thanks Note!

-
Every person is a gift of God!
Every person has the power to Grow!

I was caught in a whirlwind of surprise when I picked up a call from a friend who has significantly contributed to my career - innings 2. It was lovely to feel and hear the wish from him, as I complete my first year at work.

Over the last year, I have many people to thank for helping me see this day at work.
Maids, Cooks, Caretakers, School Principals, School Teachers, Family,Friends, Co-workers, Auto drivers, Grocers, Doctors, Home nursing services and above all my parents, sister, a friend and my manager at work, who made it happen so I could see this date!!

Thinking back…

How many times I fell almost in despair!
How many times I have given up!
How many times I have lost my cool!
How many nights I have thought this through!

How many people were nice to me!
How many people bent their rules for me!
How many people gave their time for me!
How many people tried to understand me!

How many new people I met!
How many new people I made friends with!
How many chances I got to give!
How many blessings I chanced to receive!

 I feel indebted today and very moved in fact, as I look back on the roller coaster ride it has been until today, in an effort to make my restart of career doable.

I learned many things between April 2017 and April 2018, met many people, learned many, faced many lows, sought many a help, cried a bit, laughed a bit, gave a bit, talked a lot, and got a lot!.

Take away is just this much:
  • It happens only when it happens!
  • You get what you deserve, but in His time, not yours!
  • Do it!
  • Hang on!, Hold tight! Storms subside!
  • What you once gave is coming back to you! What you give today will come back to you tomorrow!
  • Everything is possible! Stop thinking for a bit!
  • God is great, do not worry!
All of these said by different people many times last year, along with many pearls of wisdom from 'happenstance Angels’ along the way, makes me stand at year one work anniversary today. Means much to me!.

I am grateful to one and all who have been with me on the phone, email, in person, at work, on Whatsapp to see me happy and back on a career track.

Every person is a gift of God!
Every person has the power to Grow!

And I know it is True! Thank you!

How are you placed today?

A very common question I got asked over the last one month's time by many of my friends. The answer has to be simple: I have a, b, c things to do or 1, 2, 3 places to go to or i, ii, iii work to complete... and the like.. This is on the basic level and probably this question doesn't need too much thought or attention beyond this.. But, I did find this question quite disturbing. One evening, on my way back from a temple, I realized the answer to this question: Where ever we are at any given point in time, we are placed at the right position to serve the right purpose at the right time!!. Just that we do not realize it. There is no reason to fret about things ( I admit that I have not yet reached that level of maturity as I write this post but I definitely realize ) when they are not in your hands. Exam results for instance. You can only put your best until the paper leaves your hands. Now, if the evaluation will happen properly is something you have no control over. Sim

Sargam - A 1992 Movie Review

-
This is a malayalam movie directed by Hariharan. Probably everyone in Kerala would have watched this many times. I got a chance to watch this movie yesterday. Brilliant make - a nice mix of psychology and music. I could identify, Vineeth, Renuka, Thilagan, and Nedumudi Venu in the movie. I wouldnt know the rest of the stars but I must say the movie has been done very well and is set in the late seventies or so it seems. Or may be the nineties itself. I would not know such a set up because I grew up in Tamil Nadu. The whole movie has been shot in a bungalow of old times. They call it Kovilagam which seems to mean Temple. I assume that the ancestors of this family had once been very rich and provided for the families working for them and lived a kingly life with great taste towards traditional arts. The family in the movie seems to be richer as well and did have regards for arts, especially music. Kuttan Thamburan had epilepsy and his close pal, Hari was around right from childhood to ta

Make a difference......

Andhra mess..... Once quiet, but now a noisy little food joint close to my office caters to the IT folks who crowd in during Noon for lunch. We are a group of friends who frequent this place once or twice a month for sure. We all have different preferences in meal usually. One friend of mine loves peanut powder, another does not have curd, I don't usually take rice, instead ask for extra Rotis, another friend likes to have sugar soon after the usually spicy meal. Usually we place orders for "All Veg meals" and when the waiter comes over to serve, we give out our preferences. I never knew that he knew our tastes by heart... He ensured that sugar was kept on the table, extra rotis were brought in, and peanut powder took a place in our table. We are all still amazed about the memory power that this person who serves close to hundred people a day has and how much of an impact it has on us, his valuable customers. Later when we were talking about it, we realized that a lot of
