Follow your Heart.

 

Let me start with a flashback, will rewind to 22 years back, A day before my 10th public exams results (as I promised, in my first blog I'm covering this incident here). Of course, it was the summer holiday and I have completed my class 10th public exams, what would I be doing? I was playing in the streets in the evening and I was also learning the business from my grad father during mornings and after lunch also, roam in my chariot (TVS 50). My day came home from the shop more than usual, I had no clues why he is stepping out of the shop when there is a customer. In by evening I noticed the same behavior he stepped in-home and on curious I followed him to see why he is at home. He rushed and I happen to notice that he had a loose motion that day. The cause for it was me😜when he saw me at the home he asked are you not worried about your results? As I was an average student in the class with very bad handwriting he concluded that I may not pass and I'll give him a bad reputation if I'm not promoted in my public exams. Poor me, I did not know anything and I said why should I feel? That's when the katchery started. He went to the district education office with his influence to check my results, he called home and said not bad! 

So what next? Of course Hr Sec school right! No, that was not my choice, somewhere down the lane, I was said that Diploma(Polytechnic) courses are more practical course when compared to Hr Sec and it's really easy to crack the subjects. I and my dad had a huge conflict, as he felt that it was not prestigious to study in polytechnic. My dad had thought that I would be completing my education just with a diploma or I might not even complete that. But, somehow I shined among the top 5 in the class, then I went on to pursue by BE (in a good college in the zone) this time I stood among the top 10 - 15 in a batch of size 120, then I pursued my M.Tech (in a good college/university in the state) successfully and now I'm in one of the most prestigious institution in the country doing my MBA. 

What pushed me till here? Self-motivation, determination, love over learning, and a quench of thirst. All these things come from the heart more than the mind. When I completed my M.Tech I realized the more I love what I'm doing the more I get success it was very evident in my grade sheets. 

When I started work I was easily got distracted with lots of personal stuff creating barriers around me and I was not able to understand what I was expected and what I wanted to deliver. As a result, I had only a 5% hike on average for the first 4 years. That's when I did a retrospective to see what I have been doing wrong.  I understood it was nothing but the lack of immersion in the work that I do, can I get immersed in my job immediately after I realized that? No, I can't, so what did I do? I deliberately took certain steps so that I can focus and deliver as result today I'm proud to say I'm able to march forward with my 22 warriors on the client battlefield (who is considered the most demanding guy than other clients).

Today, I celebrate because of the deliberations that I have made in the past, try to be genuine as much as possible so that my people trust me, and sail along with him.

What's RLJ & Why RLJ?

What is RLJ? RLJ, is one of the acronym that I'm connected to the most when compared to other acronyms in my life span, each and every cells in my body is aware of what is RLJ and what made RLJ a unique. RLJ is a symbol of trust that's been developed/built from the scratch for about 6-7 decades, I'm sure developing trust is one of the most hard part in this world and maintaining that same trust also requires same amount of contributions. Though RLJ is very much associated to my family, when I wanted to choose my carrier I have decided not get into RLJ for a while and I'm still staying away from it. Why I'm stay away? when it has its own charisma,  because of the obsession & possessiveness that my father and grandfather holds with it and during my late teens & early 20's I was a bit skeptical to get myself associated along with them, as they had devoted their life entirely for it without any rest or entertainment thinking only to get RLJ running in full t...
