Its all about time honey !!!

Life takes turns and mine took something that i had never envisaged. Everything seems so unreal. There is pressure and tension. One cant sleep. One cant enjoy without the thought of performance running circles in the head. The days of fun are over in a flash and then there is work, work and more work to support everything. Its like no where else. One has to think of performing and what not. Now that there is sometime there is time to think and write or rather simply write (as always)
The first time experiance is always the best and the most memorable. Be it the first time ballot or the job, there is always a first time and the memories are always fond and loving. It difficult to understand the why's or why nots :)
But then there is excitement and the wish to create a nice and friendly relationship with most. And over and above all of this, there is also the go getter nature. But I must also thank God for having given me the opportunity to work for a startup first up in life and be something. It teaches me the nuances of a small organisation and issues that people may be facing. Be it the simplest of the things or the most complicated one.
For me its all about time. When I came here, I was the first person in my batch to start work. People would be amazed how I managed both. Yes, I did miss the dinners and much more, but it was also the time that I couldnt spend with my friends.. But what could one do ?? As all things have a good side, so also did this. It made me know the people and the culture of iFAST. It has made me stronger and understand the company and the people.
Time, it teaches a lot. I am sure of the saying. Because, I am a different person as an MBA than I was, without it. It has made me a different person. I now am much more calm and patient. I have learnt that its HR skills that make a difference at the end of the day and nothing else. I am much more composed and it has taught how to push in more and more. How to stretch myself to the utmost limits and how to extrace the maximum out of myself. Its not something that one can dpo overnight. The friends there have taught me what perseverance and hardwork is. While some taught me how to be perfectionist, the rest taught me how to take blame, face a horde of people and also how to tackle people's ego. Its all about time. It teaches. It heals and like all the pain that I had in the first year vanished, so did the good memories end (Though they would never fade in my eyes) Be it the people shouting me out. Or be in the marine drive walks. Or those council work days or when we became the kings and fell down on our face. Its all a part of the game and part of the great big circle.
Well, today is the time when I am young and can take decisions on my own. Its time that i started thinking of the family and much more. I am really amazed at how time has flown by. The two years ended and lo !! I am back home already and that too with a job. I mean, imagine working from home is something very few have the privelege of.
As i see the things happening around me, all i can learn from it is that one has to be perfect in what one does and that once we commit we have to be sure to deliver. There is no replacement to committment. And over and above there is always the blessing of lady luck which never ditches. Not the hardworking and the brave.
Time is undoubtedly the best teacher one could have.
Enjoyed exercising my right to vote !!!
