December has been a roller coaster month, work was at its highest and personal life was at its normal. I had given myself some targets for the month of december, some of the few were: getting my transcripts from VTU(from Belgaum), Read one or two books, achieve office targets of 100% productivity, buy a nice watch(Edifice_as Shaz puts it), motivate SHAZ for the common objective(Pport!), then as well complete my applications for few universities, two three interviews, watch some good movies....... Etc etc., Small list though.
Month started with a new unexpected responsibility(surprise) of making and supervising the new products PPT at office. I ended up putting more than 14hrs a day, though the PPTs were well appreciated, My boss started loading all these type of work on me, my team is being over burdened:-( Then the trainings started slowly picking up pace, I reached mangalore on the 7th morning to realise the trainings are to be delivered by me. It was a great experience when you deliver your training in front of a person who has been ur silent mentor for last 2yrs.(Read: Suoer boss, Abhi), Then I came back and broke a record of Back to back training record of 12 sessions and being appreciated for all of them was a serendipity.
As the month ushered the books started flowing from all sides, Shaz, Paanwala, Jags, Rash... etc etc all loaded me up with lots of books to study. In less than 3days i had more than 10 books on platter. Very few!!! Started my work with a Book I had heard too much about Intelligent Investor( A book I had dropped once due to too many pages!!!!) finished in flat 4days, then moved on to a book called Eats, Shoots and Leaves(Shaz's discovery) read it, though not my types some digested it in 3days, Then came a book called THE GOAL, by Eliyahu Goldart, A beautifully written and concevied book with all the right stuffs. It helped me to understand the perspective of truth and the importance of goal and the points of goal setting(My Career Requirement!!), Then final read book called 2 states(Paanwala's REco!!!) a truth of lies packed with conviction and the finesse of relationships, sorrows and the truimph of the Strenght of relationships. Honestly the most important thing in a relstionship is the committment and the conviction of staying together in Adversity.
It also gave a strong signal on Forgiving people for all the things they did to you and embrace the truth to reduce the weight of the burden of the mistakes other people have done the loss they suffered of ignoring you. Great Message, Though I expected some Masala, I had more than the platter could have contained. This boook will always be close to me, First I take a lot of inspiration from this and I started reading this book when I started my journey towards My Alma matter VTU in Belgaum. I scary and funny journey, where I made new frens in Belgaum(Vinay and Kavya) though both from bangalore. Probably will write in next about the travel.
A complete month with all the happening keeping a step forward towards the future.
