How about a creative picture?
Ok, so that's a picture showing how I've grown from an year old child to a 21-year old professional (though I don't look like one in that red shirt picture. Will update the above with a more professional picture sometime). Reason behind making this picture was to give a pictorial representation of a transition: "aey! motu" to "man! how did u do this. U've lost so much weight"
These ~21 years have been so wonderful. Definitely owe it to family, relatives, friends, special friends, colleagues, and others whom I've happened to know. Have had great experiences while a lot of them were bitter too. Most of these had something to learn from in them. What an amazing life it's been all this time. It's been going great and it would continue going the same way, is what I strongly believe because all it requires is a positive oulook towards life which I've been trying to develop and have been successful too to some extent. And as always, GOD bless.
All we do is dream, we don't dare to achieve them
My office is located at a place where there are multi-storied corporate buildings all around. Thousands of employees are working in those buildings. Thanks to all these multinationals for generating such large employment. Most of the Indian growth is indeed coming from this globalization.
But then, there's this feel that pops in: So, you basically are just another chap in those thousands. Aren't you? What different are you doing for your career? All of them are working hard to make more money, get promotions and move higher on their heirarchy and so are you. What different do you have in you except that you're probably making a little more money from some of them around? Then on looking at those flats (most of the metropolitan working class lives in multistoried societies these days), a similar feeling comes in again: Just another flat in thousands of them, huh!!
At times, as many other enthusiastic youngsters, I "imagine" taking risks in life and starting-up something. A lot of youngsters write about it in their blogs, many others talk about it at some point of time or the other. How wonderful it all sounds to dream of being an entrepreneur. Aah!! But ultimately it boils down to the fact that it isn't easy: Only one out of thousands dare to take risk in life and out of those who do, very few get successful. Sounds so scary that we ultimately end up working in the same office just dreaming about starting-up something. Only one feel that still keeps me enthusiastic about it is that there's just one life boy. Do what you can in about another 40 odd years that you have.
