Life is only fun, when we are TOGETHER!

Hi Guys,

Our life is a journey which we can’t travel alone. We need people to come into our lives from time to time and be with us for some of the journey. I was born in a joint family so was always surrounded by grandparents, uncle, aunts and a lot of kids. I was the eldest son of the family so I was the leader of the young force at our home. It was always my responsibility to take care of them and to save them from other kids who tries to beat them or make fun of them.

My optimism and togetherness story is about the time when I was married and had a 6  months old daughter. It was the time when I had huge debt on my shoulders because of our MBA education loan and also my wife was not working at that time due to kid. My wife got job after some time and I was offered onsite to London and my daughter was 10 months old at that time. I had to leave for London alone as my wife just got job of her choice after a span of 2.5 years and didn’t wanted to let it go because of our financial obligations. I waited for more than 7 months to see both of them as I could only get holidays at that time and came back to India for Holi festival. I also wanted to get them their visas etc but there was a lot of documentation that needed to be taken and submitted. I tried to complete all formalities and came back to London. From that day onwards, I kept waiting for them to come to me and it took them another 4 months before they landed on Heathrow Airport in London.

Thank Lord, it gave me strength and took away all my depression and stress. I was so happy to see them again and show them around the city. Those moments of celebrations were extended when my daughter started speaking there as well as my birthday came also. Some part of the city I only thought of visiting with my family and as soon as they came for 23 days, I planned for all the outings while continuing office work also. My wife and kid used to board a tube to Central London and used to come to my office during evening so that we can be together for some time and can also see some of the landmark buildings and locations. Those days really helped me come out of all my tensions and reconnect with my family and daughter. I keep checking some of the moments captured via camera and handycam to enjoy and relive that time.Here is one of the pics from that time! :-)

Our life is only wonderful if we are together or if we are with someone who loves and takes care of us. Life is great with companions and family and is to be lived for those who want to be with you always. It’s during those times when you can’t access your friends and family in person, you come to know how much you miss them? I had my share of tears when I was staying all alone and it’s a part and parcel of my life. But being together – it all starts from the house we call home check out these https://housing.com/ humble adobes which can change your life forever!

Starting a New Life with Constant Change!

Hi Guys, 

As they say change is inevitable and to remain in perfect working condition all the time, we constantly need to strive hard towards accepting change in our life from time to time. We are so much comfortable in our comfort zones and don’t want anything to change around us. With the globalization and localization of markets, economies around us are changing all the time. What was popular in the market earlier is now outdated! Technology is making this possible to constantly perform better than before and be the best you can be.

I was constantly glued to the mentality of staying in my comfort zone since school and it was so difficult to me even when I changed schools during my metric and senior secondary classes. I loved meeting new people but then it was always so difficult to build friendships as it takes time to touch each other’s hearts.

It was a huge change of mindset as well as personality when I first came to New Delhi to prepare for the engineering entrance exams way back in 1996. It was the first time I had to stay outside of my home for more than 8 months and I only visited my home twice at most. The people and the places in Delhi are not my own and I never knew then earlier. I was always lost in the crowd and sometimes took the wrong buses to my destination. It all made me learn more about the city and the culture of our national capital. I was able to learn something new every day which made me more extroverts and I could now talk to random people freely. I made new friends which helped me to keep focused on studies and learn about the city.

The skills that I learned in the capital city helped me throughout my studies and life in Engineering and afterwards also. I did a CDAC course as I was unable to get a job of my choice and never wanted to be a Lecturer at that start of my career. It definitely impacted me a lot and I lost around 2 years of my life without any job. I was depressed as I went through 100 job interviews with no success at all. Then again it was the moment of change for me as I started my career after two years of engineering in a school as a computer teacher with salary just equivalent to what my parents used to give me as a pocket money. The moment definitely brought huge change in my life as it took me out of my depression as I met new people every day and it made me happy as I was working finally.

From that day onwards, I kept myself in check to keep changing from time to time to be the best in everything I do and learn. I changed many places, many houses, and many cities and met many people from time to time of my life and always it inspired me, taught me and made me a great human being.

#Lookup Stories - Giving you wings to fly!

Hi Guys,

We live on hopes and aspirations; it’s that positivity which keeps us going to achieve whatever we want to. We all want the best for ourselves and to make these dreams a reality we need to constantly work towards them. Optimism has much more power than any other thing in the world. It gives you a lot of passion to easily overcome all fears and limiting thoughts to come out on top.

There are always some great things happening in our life which keeps our hopes hanging in there. It’s only at the time of distress we want something to keep us going. It’s during those moments that something lifts us up to make the journey easier. I too have many stories of Optimism from my life which brought the necessary power during those times to get it through.

My story happened at the time when I was in Class 12^th and wanted to sit for the Engineering entrance exams. I was not much aware about the exams and was only preparing to pass the class 12^th exam. As thought of I was not able to clear the entrance exam. The next step of action was to be aware about all the courses which can offer me help to clear the exam. I started watching all the advertisements in all the newspapers and came to Delhi from my home town. I went and checked some of the coaching institutes and found out one of the chosen ones near my relatives home. During that time in 1996, the Kota effect was not there and only some institutes in Delhi used to offer coaching for engineering students.

I took admission to the coaching institute and started living in Delhi. I was shifted to main centre of the institute and was travelling in Blue lines buses for the first time. The earlier institute center used to have their bus drop service available. It was a sudden change in my life as I never used to remember the route and always was travelling to unknown places in the city. Sometimes to reach class on time and missing the intended bus, I used to break the routes.

It was hectic but I stayed optimistic that I will be able to clear the exam. It looked like I was studying the class for the first time as the teachers were very great at the institute. I did whatever I could to clear the exam and always kept hope. I lost both of my maternal grandparents during that year and it was really sad. But one day, soon after their death they came to my dreams and my grandmother took me to one room full of new clothes and asked me to choose whichever I want to wear. She also offered me in a new jacket and it was so enriching experience and gave me a hope that elders blessings are with me now.

It was that dream which really gave me a lot of hope and set the future clear for me. I did my engineering and learned a lot during that one year in Delhi which helped me in my journey of life from time to time. I have so many moments to cherish from that period of my life.
