Mumbai Rocks!!

I visited Mumbai recently truly it was an experience that I would remember for a long time to come. My day started very early in the morning. After getting ready for the day ahead all suited and booted, my sweetheart saw me off at the bus stop. They say a good day starts with a nice and heavy breakfast and I did manage just that and as it turns out it was one of the best things I did. This was not the only right decision for some reason I decided to checkin at the Bangalore airport for the evening flight back to bangalore as well turns out this was indeed the best decision.

After reaching mumbai I was excited to see the city after a good 6 year gap. This city has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. From Siddhi Vinayak to Haaji Ali i passed some of the blessed placed place to reach my destination Church gate. I had a few hours to spend before I head to what I had come here for. I stralled around the fashion street and the Art Gallery, it was such a treat to the eyes. Artists share there feelings through color. One of the things that caught my eye was a boat made with Guns and ammunition to showcase the recent carnage. I liked the thought and the silent protest. Its time..

I get to meet a few people in my line of business by Gods grace and this truly was one such moment which does change the way i look at myself. The interactions were heart warming and posted great learnings. I met Mr. Ravi Makhija, a person with great reputation in his field and the time I got to spend with him was truly rewarding. The way to conduct yourself through a discussion and the importance of knowing what you are doing and how you are doing things. He spoke little but whatever he said did make a lot of sense. In his words "I am a good profile but very raw there is a long way to go to really achieve what I set myself out for". My most interesting meeting was with Mr. Sudipto Bannerjee, he was excellent reached out to me in a very heart warming way and then without being critical he did show me the value that I have and the things that I should avoid. His observations were spot on from how my learnings are only superficial and not a deep dive in any field and how important that is to be successful. The excersise of selling a Pen to him would always remain very close to me. I was at my wits end but it did leave a sense of achievement in me I know there is a long way to go. I really need those management lessons and specialisation if I were to succeed in life. Though an exhaustive day was drawing to a close it wasnt over for me. I was a good 2 hrs away from the Airport, the time read 6.45 and my flight was at 8.40...Now you know how important that early checkin was..I reached the airport at 8.35 man that was a very close call. Luckly for me I didnt see a lot of pessengers infact I did see anyone at the security check counter other than myself and the security personnel. I rush through the corridor into the flight and I was the last one to hop on. Tired and exhausted I reached home well past midnight and find myself tucked in bed. God I am so tired..But the worst part is I need to wait....
