Why “Metamorphoces”?
An
interesting (not a must) reading material for every normal day to day guys and
gals…
It’s
been 36 years that I have come to an existence on the mother earth. About 20
years that I am presumed to understand everything happening around me. About 15
years that I am managing, continuing and trying to sort of developing my
professional life.
All
these years a majority of people who knew me has a generalized opinion, that I
am a bit above average guy, with jack of all kind of a personality, having
strong view points on so many issues wither related to me or not, a big “I”
carrying person, having deep sense of belongingness to whom I have considered
connected personally to me, having sagacity of art in terms of performing art
as well as others, a friend in need, a person focusing on what can be done
superior to what has been done in any event or aspect, a team player and the
one whom everybody likes if he is there in the team / or he is around but most
of the times it happened incidentally not by preference of them.
Some of
them also formed an opinion about me that I am having high potential to raise
up in the life, what is just needed is a right opportunity, some felt strongly
that I am a very easy useful tool to them, some felt proud in cheating me and
some are so devoted to me that they have extended their unconditional support
to me all throughout my life, and still that immense flow of support continues.
If I
talk about myself (as common men, like every second men on this earth) I have
always felt that opinion does matter in everybody’s life but also it’s the
ultimate self belief that keeps human being going. Just to give you an example
(which I have shared quite some times with people of my inner circle) I use to
feel disgrace whenever people use to appreciate me by saying, “Oh! It’s
unbelievable that you have done this, great dear congratulations” – rather than
having sense of achievement, somehow in this appreciation I always felt that
the person who is appreciating demeaned me or underestimated me in the first
go, and now the levels are changing. Where actually I wanted them to count on
me. Then I came to know about a sentence, “ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL.” I also
use to get shaken up when I come to know that there were incidences that the
person who was challenging my views in public and for the sake of self
impression and status was actually very much agrees to the same, personally.
Then I read somewhere, “AGREEMENT LEADS TO BETTER RESULTS THAN ARGUMENTS.” Some
times in life I use to think that am I doing something wrong by not giving
importance to their opinion to the level what they are expecting.
But let
me share here with all of you that swear to GOD I have never missed an
opportunity to learn something from the view of others about me. I am a hard
core thinker. I always chew any thought or idea or opinion or view many times
after it comes to me and before responding to it or acting upon. Sometimes due
to the regular habit of the same it doesn’t take even split of a second to do
so but trust me I do it for almost all of them. I do introspect endlessly, I
learnt to put my subconscious mind at work at a very early age by my father and
have experienced the power of the same many times.
There
were some incidences which happened in my life which are worth sharing here,
11. In
my childhood days we use to spend our vacations at our maternal uncle’s place
mostly. During one of the routine discussion
one of my uncles put an allegation on my cousin and requested my granny to
punish him without even giving any proper justification or reason for the same.
I just argued back in a dramatic style, “JUDGE SAAB, JAB TAK GUNAH SABIT NA HO
JAYE, AAP NAHI MERE MUWAQUIL KO DOSHI THAHERA SAKTE HAIN, AUR NAAHI KOI SAJA
SUNA SAKTE HAIN.” – much experienced granny was amazed with this argue and said
“objection sustained.” If my memory serves me right I was in 2nd or 3rd
standard at that time.
22. Another
thing happened during one such vacation period, all family members were
spending good times together. On one of the topic there started a big fight
amongst elders. It was a very disturbing situation for all the kids and even
the elder group felt bad about the same afterwards. I was jolted by this
incident and to one of my cousin I shared that, if the elders allow me to sit
with them one on one in a room for two hrs, keeping all the levels and
boundaries aside, I promise I can change their way of thinking and I shared
some of my views with examples and my observations – To every body’s surprise –
she announced that in presence of everybody – and also endorsed that yes he
being a kid (I was about 12 at that point in time) has that capacity for sure.
So let’s change ourselves.
33 There
was a time when I was a college going guy having warmest blood streams flowing
in my veins ( as all the youngster has in this age) , an incidence had happened
when one of our elderly family member (Our head of the family) visited our
place and starting with a good news, suddenly started abusing my mother
culturally (Not literally) and my mother couldn’t take it, fortunately I
entered our house to utter surprise of my mom I handled the situation so tactfully
and with utmost calmness that the person sitting right against me had almost no
place left to speak or sit – and he decided to leave our house – quietly.
44 There
was a time in my initial professional life when on having satisfactory
evidences of infiltration of material in my territory from other territory of
the goods, I had a talk with our organization’s Managing Director and CEO,
directly that, “ they are wasting money by investing it on people like us by
training and paying them attractive packages, if they are the one who are going
to run the business in all the territory across India, by sitting there and
even after knowing these practices allowing it to happen. If they want growth
of the business they should change the way of operation”- and to my surprise I
got positive response and all the support needed form the higher management to
solve the issue.
There
are many such incidences happened in my life on personal level and professional
level also. By this time all of you must be (or might be) thinking, what sense
does it make to share all these on blog or to us….
Dear
readers let me tell you, till now you must be finding the above content quite
average, may be with some mistakes too, a very routine and common set of
sentence which can be found from any Tom Dick or Herry’s mouth. I don’t want to
prove my worth on the writing ability of mine, nor I am trying to share
opinions about me and incidences happened with me during my life. I am also not
trying to blow my trumpet by saying look how I came out of every difficult
situation with flying colors… But,
After
spending all these years in different situations and at different levels
personally and professionally I realized that every other person has mostly the
same story to tell and every individual is feeling more or less the same way as
Ankit (Ya that’s my name) has felt right through his life time, but very few of
them are there who actually knows the real meaning of few things like…
How
to think always positive about our self and about the situations around?
How
to learn from almost all the situations and opinions in life, be it positive or
negative?
How
to share what you know and what you believe is true, in right spirit?
How
to take other’s good or bad opinion with a pinch of salt? And still learning
from them?
How
to continuously keep going personally as well as professionally against all
odds?
...and
many such questions…
One
major question above all is, if at all there are group of people who knows
answers of these, they find it next to impossible or very difficult to put to
practice.
And
there starts an era of compromises, at all levels, in all relations, in all the
ways possible, with self, family, group of people and finally with the society
for the so called settled life and happiness. This has led most of us to a
never ending feeling of lack of fulfillment and brought the feeling of
dissatisfaction on the surface of our conscious.
Now
I want all of you to keep your right hand on your heart and answer to yourself,
don’t we all wish to change the situation? Don’t we desire that something
miraculous should happen to all of us? Don’t we plead to God to bring some
sudden change and give us total new life – with different ability, changed
attitude – or in short a new you?
If
your heart says “Yes” as an answer to any of the above question – “Bingo” -
that is the answer of the question written at the top as a subject… “Why
METAMORPHOCES?”
After
a long thinking process and evaluation (which off course is my nature) of
current situation of the society at personal level and at professional level I
have decided to reach out to as many people as possible by the medium of
“Metamorphoces” and do a genuine effort to bring out a ‘new you’ out of your
existing ‘you’ – which will be much stronger in almost all the aspects of your
personal and professional life…..
See
you friends till the next time we meet on my blog send you comments (as many as
possible), candid and straight from your heart to make this mission a great
success…. AADIOS…
