A day in my life

Looking up in the sky n thinking if the watch has fast forwarded for the skys' soo gloomy one has to really think of wat he might do with a toothbrush afterall... Then after much brainwrecking n yawning the brushing process begins... I go online n chk some stupid mails my frnds keep forwarding for no given reason n i keep reading for no stupid reason... the net goes down after 10 AM... i get a newspaper... read it till 11AM if possible n den a shower... n start off with a college book n dozz off till 1PM... den the lunch time... after some burps its time for some smaller sized books dat has absolutely noting to do with my studies... it goes on till 4PM... its just amazing dat i can read for dat long without dozzing off this time... den the guitar comes in sight... so i plug some music n go bezerk on the string... no ones to watch u c :) ... den its time for some news... after being shown the same news for nearlly an hour i turn it off n get out for a walk... meetup wid someone n come back n takea nice warm shower... den some more books... den dinner + sans bahu serial (coz of ma mom they dont make sense to me) n its back online... wondering y rainy seasons r some boring... i wish the were only for a few days... i think couples doo n'joy it but i'm still single n pretty happy but not with the rains but just the simple plain life dat exists dats boring me soo much...

It's been quite a while since I'v blogged… infact a month already… nyways
Well during this period a lot of things has happened. My xams are over… ma moms asking me to get a job.. Which I probably wont since I had planned something already… For the moment I'm njoying ma vacations like a king… loads of books… loads of music specialy after I bought my new n 1st guitar… loads of movies… hanging out wid frnds… n n'joying the rains… this is wat life shld be…
Although I shldnt forget it was quite difficult to adjust to this life after the xams… and probably after a very long time dat I'v actually wrkd so hard for the xams!!! I'v actually surprised myself if no one else…
Nyways I have a feeling I'll be having a lots more good surprises coming my way from now on… am traveling out of mumbai next week end to kolhapur… its gonna be beautiful during the rains… I'm also planning a movie hangout at ma home next to next week after I come back… that'll be fun for sure…
As for now… I'm just gonna n;joy all the movies that I'm laying my hands on… a dose of a new movie every day can be pretty kool :D
Adios for now… I'd just wonder when I'll write back again!!!

Sale em all

I'v had wrkd as a semi sales person earlier... u might wonder wat a semi salesperson might be, right? Well it simply means I used to wrk for a call centre and my job was to sell insurance on the phone through credit cards... n u might ask "How was the job?"... n i'd say "Difficult, fun, frustrating, fun, hectic, fun...... n did i say fun?". Well i learnt alot working there... i learnt about wat a team and its team member is, I saw bad leaders n gd leaders... i saw top-performers and under-performers... n i learnt about sales... i even went to the extent of buying books on sales and studying it... not that i'm a very academic guy... well i'm just not!!! But I'd say i have my own way of learning new things. Heres wat i learnt a bit about sales... in short...

1. Everyone sells wether hes an engineer a doctor, a lawyer, CEO, or who ever he or she is... even a kid who wants the latest toy on display he saw yesterday at a shop.

2. Sales is not much about commissions than about communicating with others and truely helping others... Infact this point is so important of being a salesperson... i'll just illustrate wat actually happend to me while i used to sell insurance...
It was tuesday morning... I called up a man named Rakesh... I was pitching him about the plans... he was an employee at some MNC... he had some bad experience with insurance n he mentioned wat had happened... so I handled him in a bit different way... instead of bragging about how gd my plan was... all I did was ask wat kinda Insurance he held... n i suggested him to go for a plan which he had not covered... n instead of selling like a typical sales person our interaction sounded mor like a business deal... I actually told him "Mr. Rakesh... heres a deal for u... i have a plan which will cover ur accidental risk without burning a hole in ur pocket... n mind it, its a straight offer... u get blah blah blah protection... n der are no hidden charges... u pay us money we cover u for ur accidents... plz think over it and let me know tomm... u may want to discuss it with someone aswell... thanx gd day" ... the next day... he bought 2 plans n he also reffered me to 2 of his friends ... to whom i sold 2 more policies.

3. I can't sell nything to my mom :O...... no comments..... :|

Well there are alot more but these are the important ones to be noted...

Well heres the 2nd one...

Well today has been quite a day... I amazed myself

by keeping my cool even in tense situation...

Even though the situation was inside my head...

And yeah its true... its not that easy to be a

leader... Since i'm heading my project team i'v

been in quite tense situation... especially when

its about time to get done with the projects. My

team mates are getting tence aswell n they are not

performing well enough... i think this is gonna

test my wits for sure... atleast its better than

solving question papers. Nyways alot needs to be

done yet. Things are still quite hazy n hopefully

i'll get em all together.
Well that explains y there are so many

followers n so little good leaders. Its amazingly

odd ratio. If anyone would do the statistics. I

wonder sometimes, who is responsible for all

these. Just look around and u'll find people

blaming others for what ever happens to them. It

reminds of a line from the recent movie Rocky

Balboa it goes like "It ain't about how hard you

hit, its about how hard u can get hit and keep

moving forward. How much u can take and still keep

moving forward thats how winner is done.
"
Its amazing just to wonder about how my life

will be. N i'm just begining my journey. I'v

almost burnt my bridges to pursue what I want to

do before I leave for good. Nyways i cant really

decide what should i type in n what to leave

behind. By the way one of my friend also mentioned

that I can be a good writer... I'd wonder if

she'll even bother buying my book if i ever write

one!!!

My 1st post

Alright here it is... my 1st ever post on a blog. I'm not sure y i had to have my own blog, maybe i needed to be understood or heard or just to put things out of me. I'v got so much to put in here n am not sure where to start off. Maybe this is how it feels the 1st time blogger. Spending 10 mins just to think bout what to put online n being sure that no one other than I wld be reading it.
Anyways. Well I like to read books. N i'v read many a times that if we want some thing we shld put it in writing. Well i think thats a gd enough reason to have a blog!!! Talking bout reading books. Its amazing to see that so many people talk about continuing studies n learning n how important degrees are if one needs to survive in the real world. but on the other hand. People on the top. The kinds who are termed as highly successfull in the likes of Bill Gates and many others think in exactly the opposite way!!! I always wonder which would e the answer to my questions on being successfull, or as i would term usefull is right. The successfull people talk about being free n the usual bunch, the likes of our family members who go to job or have some small business talk about having big degrees n big posts n benefits for there companies.
Many people think i'm on the wrong path. N i shouldnt be reading books on money, on being rich n wealthy. Especially by people who have trouble meeting there ends by there next paycheck. They want me to study things i'll probably never use in my life. N on the other hand we have expensive books written by successfull people who talk about being who you are n do things as you wish. Which is probably what I am gonna do aswell. I'v got many authority issues. If i owned a company I dont think i'll ever wanna hire anyone like me for sure.
Maybe it doesnt have anything to do with money atall. I'v observed (n observing is something i'm gd at thankfully!!) that of the people who talk about getting higher studies n biggar posts n bigger pay checks are people who cant see the freedom right in front of them.
Either way I think i'll go with where my intuition n my heart take me. I'm quite sure i'll make it to the so listed successfull people. Even if i wont atleast i'll die happy thinking that I didnt do what everyone does. I want to be an Entrepreneur to my last breath.
