Hello everyone..!
Long time and I am writing something. Something which I am living right now. It is absolutely what others are also doing to earn bread and butter. Yes, you must have guessed till now. It is, "THE JOB".
For safety purpose, I will not be using my company's name and address or the work which people do in the organization. This blog is going to be my journey from so called "ENTREPRENEUR" to "EMPLOYEE".
It was a chance which I got to feel like a boss before I could start the journey of earning money. Yes, I was. And now I am working under someone. For me, it is an achievement. No matter how cliche it may sound but that is the fact.
I used to run a business; small it was but it was a business. I do not know the exact definition of business but for me business is something innovative or the same old concept which is run for people to cater their needs. If my MBA professors read this then they probably will not give me the degree of MBA! But that is what I feel in my words.
From building strong networks, being known in surrounding for achievements so far, I used to feel very special. Today also I feel the same, but in a different way. And then starting your own venture...everyone had eyes on me. Because people were waiting for me to give up and I did not. I cried many times, incurred loss, got to see the downfall, learnt to get up and fight, learnt to survive, learnt marketing, learnt my MBA practically. This was happening simultaneously with my MBA course.
Being your own boss, I used to manage everything as per my schedule. My shoots, videos, exams, Gym and everything. One thing was there, I could not give much family time but I have one new family which I can really not forget.
And,
here comes the twist.
Before my MBA gets over, I got a placement from college. Not a big firm in numbers but big by the work we do. It was not an easy task for me to adapt the changes. I have not ever imagined in my nightmare that I would be traveling so much, literally 4 hours in a day. But yes, there is a lot to learn. I learn different personalities in Trains. I have learnt to observe and understand people. Now I know why train fights are more dangerous than anything. The struggle, competition begins every morning, right from getting into train and to survive there to stand at least on two feet. That is a learning from two hours of journey. People fight but they unite later on.
By the time I reach Office, I am half dead always. But need to motivate myself for the whole day. There is a lady in my office who recruited me, is extremely supportive. She herself is workoholic and positive. Her aura makes any person to wake up, feel charged up and work. She always helps me whenever I be in any trouble. Her scolding also feels like I am learning how to scold others. Hell lot to learn from her.
Many people say, your first job is important; likewise your first boss is also important. And I feel very lucky to have such a great boss. He scolds, literally scolds but when he smiles, there would be no one like him who can make you feel so comforting.
Other co employees, lift-men, security people, everyone is teaching something. Everyday, something new. Everyone has a story to tell, but no one tells. You need to find.
It has been a month for my first job but many things which I could observe and learn from these gems. As we know, beginnings are always the hardest, we must also understand the fact that for reaching somewhere we need to start our journey. And this is going to be my journey. Journey of learning, journey of taking new experiences.
AND I AM EXCITED TO TAKE THE ROLLER COASTER....again!

Great One Aarati...
Also an Advice for u,
We all face challenges in life. And at times, it can feel like those challenges may just beat you. But you have to keep going. Don’t let the idea of quitting enter your mind, stay strong as u are and fight for what it is that you want. the best way to be Appreciative for your life is to live it & yes you are living it.
keep smiling like before.
