Driving My Life

Drive your life..
Don't wait for things to happen.
Make them happen through initiatives..
Do well in any situation.
Realistically depend to an independent orientation
.

After over a month's roller coaster ride, peaceful and placid waters lie before me.Having experienced an emotional turmoil coming in from both personal and professional quarters, the answer to " What Next?", is more vivid now.
Professionally
MBA : An unrealised dream, passion or obsession. What ever be it, the dream's still there, just that I 've decided to take a detour now. A man's not finished when he's defeated , he is finished when he quits. And I ain't a quitter. The watchwords for me : optimism, action, perseverance, courage and conviction. Impossible n'est pas francais.... provided you are determined enough. One doesn't stand out of the crowd by doing the extraordinary, but by doing the ordinary with extra ordinary zeal, enthusiasm and conviction. And wont let my enthu fizzle out. Success is quasi - essential, I believe the voyage to your dreams teachth you a lot. A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner. So I move on..

Well, "what next?"...... hmmm.... work with Tech Mahindra( unless I get a better deal lol!).
Riyaaz : Our college's first ever tech fest ( will be writing an exclusive post soon), whose astounding success came as a surprise not only to the students and management but to us, the organisers, as well. Believe you me, it was one heck of a learning experience! Nonetheless, absolute fun. From organising to compering to dancing to student achievement award. Did it all and did it in style! :D lol

Personally, continued to make new friends, even as i found it hard to avoid a recent fall out with a very close friend. Learning my lessons of getting less "involved".
How i wish life could be lived in rewind and erase mode. But it ain't that ways. It can only be understood backwards but got to be lived forwards.
And I move on... Leaving behind places, people and peers, carrying along the ones that matter and a zillion memories of the good and the bad times.. Evolving every time...

Life goes on... Its about taking control of your actions and thoughts. Taking it head on! Its abour being a fighter, a fighter for life!!

dil mat dukhao agar u didnt get an MBA seat bcoz
jag main ek sitara tha mana wo behad pyara tha,jo toot gaya so toot gaya,bolo toote taare par kab ambar shok manata hai.....jo beet gayi so baat gayii


Recite this:

de shiva var mohe,shubh karman te kabhun n taru,ar so jab jaye ladun,nishchaiy kr apni jeet karun!!!
