Before I forget about another breakthrough event in my life, I should write an account of it. So, let me try to convert my feelings into words.
It was for the first time in my life that I had been on business trip. Nothing new about that? Many times, many people do that, nothing new right? Yeah, I know, but there is always first time for everything and this was MY first time. First time to actually see how planning for big & financially crucial projects are done. How much effort in terms of time & money goes into planning? Honestly, I did not know a single person there, though I had exchanged lot of mails with them so many times. Although, I did not present any thing in meeting, but still thanks to my boss and colleague D, for being there with me. Guiding me time to time.
Its not attending workshop/conference with big shots that matter. I think when you attend these kinds of business trips you are being tested. How smart or intelligent are you in putting forward your idea in front of giants of the field. How good your interpersonal skills are. How well you receive new ideas from them. Also, importantly, you know deep down inside that you are pushing yourself to the limits and have pushed the ceiling of hesitation and inhibition a little further.
In short this trip was a boost to my confidence and I hope this will help me in speeding up my work. Imagine the scene when you are presenting your work in front of experts of the field and you sheepishly hide your self behind the dais, when they ask you all freaking question. I want to experience that, no matter how bad its going to be. I know I am sadist :P
I start this post with some different mood and now this song has changed my mood completely. Its "bekarar" from movie "pathshala". I guess lyrics completely fit with what’s going on in my mind. May be, other meaning of "making progress" is also to leave things and people behind. For a moment, success can make you happy, but not for long. After sometime you realize that those people were actually important.
The only static thing is "change" and only unstoppable thing is "time". So I am just riding on wave called LIFE. May be I am too intoxicated with it :P
So long!! bye bye
