First of all it gives me a great pleasure to write a blog for the first time. Now since it’s my first time, I hope no one would ever curse me or scold me for writing such a thing. It doesn’t mean that you don’t react to my blog. I am ready to take insults as well after all it’s just a process of improving self.

I have been very lucky or you can say that it’s the prayers of my parents which had paid off. I was just an average student up to my 10^th. I was consistently scoring in 70s and till then I never realized that how important my future life was. Like all other boys of my age, I truly was addicted to television sets. I was always dreaming about the fancy world. It was indeed my father who gave me inspiration all through my life. He pushed me to the best educational institutions which were affordable also. Friends, if your parents are saying some things about pursuing studies do follow it. It is really difficult to catch up late. However it was in my 12^th I realized it was now or never. I gave my real best and of course now the responsibility on my shoulders added more pressure to me. May be I had applied a bit more pressure on myself. But still I made it to the professional course to the nearest and the best college possible.

Days were never the same in Engineering.  Travelling for about 120 kms daily altogether, monthly sessionals, half yearly semester exams, assignments, projects and what not. But I never felt I would have achieved so much success in my engineering. It was really good to have passed out as an Engineer and that too with First Class with Distinction. In fact I was consistently scoring in 70’s here also. But there was a big difference with schooling marks and college marks.  Now the real fun started. Even though we graduated as Engineers, I and most of my friends had not got a job in hand. This was the first time dream and reality was fighting with each other for us. I really am thankful to my family and friends who always had a ray of hope in me. One day I finally made it. It was 3 months of struggle till then. I was picked by the India’s Largest IT Company. Yes, the TCS. Life changed completely since then. I was a guy who was always in my comfort zone. I never wanted to do something different and innovative. TCS gave me all those opportunities and I took whichever challenge came my way.

TCS changed the complete personality in me. It gave me so much confidence in my life that words are really not enough to quantify. I can reflect the same with an advertisement slogan from one of the mobile companies. “An Idea can change your life”. Yes, I truly believe in that. Just sitting at my comfort zone didn’t give me anything. Taking challenges and fulfilling them is yet another aspect of your professional life.

Also now that I am going to end this blog at this point of time, I am assuring you guys/gals that earning well or working in a big company doesn’t mean that you are successful. It’s the happiness inside you which needs to prevail on your face all the time and it should be natural. Since It was my first blog I have not written anything negative of my life. Even not realizing facts and realizing later do add up to the positive aspects of life. Catch up later in ma future blogs.
