Small Time Job


My first job was a ā€œsmall time jobā€.
That is how I would justify to explain it:)

I was working for MakeMyTrip.com where I used to collect details of Inventory & room rates and upload that data on website. I almost update 50 to 70 hotel's rates and Inventory per day.

The moment I reached a hotelier he would start yelling at me, ā€œYour company is uselessā€. It was tough to pacify the hotelier. Later on, I realised that I was the face of the company, the hotelier had no clue what was going on in the company.

Many of my friends/family used to laugh at me, what a silly job I was doing. But that job taught me a simple thing which remained with me forever.

No job is small if you do it well you can make a difference not only to your life but to so many other lives. There is nothing like a ā€œsmall time jobā€. We make our job big or small.

What was your first job ? What did you learn ?

Enable yourself !!
Empower yourself !!

What do you do when your best friend is crying?

What do you do when your best friend is crying? There are a few persons whom you never wish to see with tears in their eyes. I attended college as usual. It was a regular Saturday afternoon; the cultural activities were in full swing. More deafening cheers accompanied loud music from the auditorium. I kept calling her from half an hour; she did not answer. She was nowhere to be seen too. I inquired few of our mutual friends if they had seen her around. "She is always with you," said one. "Heard you guys fought," giggled another. "What rubbish ya! They're best friends, they wouldn't have fought," argued a third. I smiled and left the place, still searching. There she was sitting in a corner, engaged busily on her phone. This pissed me off. I walked up to her and said, "Answer your phone." She looked up; her eyes were teary and red. "You crying?" I asked in disbelief. "No," she said. Her voice was thick. "Is it beca...

Tea for Two!

 I pour water in the bright red pot, gleaming on the outside, a bit rusty on the inside. Red was always your color. Your wardrobe was literally fifty shades of it. The familiarity and warmth of the color red make me smile as I bring it to boil. ā€œLook for angry water bubbles,ā€ you used to say when you were teaching me how to make tea instead of stacking my kitchen counter with instant coffee sachets. I take out the twin tin containers marked ā€œsugarā€ & ā€œteaā€ off the cabinet and carefully put them in, systematically counting the number of teaspoons and measuring the amount in each. ā€œI prefer coffee,ā€ I used to whine but would still let you hold my hand as we put in the sugar, not too much, not too less, surprisingly always the right amount. Then in went the tea leaves, a bit less than I'd like, I always had a taste for intense flavors. But I rarely complained for I knew how much you valued your perfect, daily cup of tea. I then pour in the milk, thinking how I'd never been abl...

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, There's something about you that left an indelible laughter in my mind ever since the first time I saw you on screen. Wait, do you understand you are no comedian or joker. You are an alcoholic, debt stricken bloke always swaying to and fro between Raju's cunning mind and Shyam's righteous attitude. You affirmed your seniority everywhere but you never made any sense to me or anyone out there. Tenants need to pay their rent. You get it right? On my off days, when I see your unadulterated smile it bewilders me - I mean how can this man live with such conviction and ease. What about his isolated life? His debts? These questions linger on my mind. It's not okay to be unambitious and surrender to your fate but when life doesn't give you 'Star Fisheries', you can always show some content in your dilapidated 'Star Garage'. Your innocent gullibility, incorruptibility and rustic lunacy bought chuckles. Well, you need to learn that Sh...
