I'LL ALWAYS MISS YOU!!

He has always been my inspiration, he motivated me a lot throughout my life till date.  A great personality who had a pure love for his mother tongue and country. A Punjabi writer who had written 10 books, 5 short stories books for children, Translator of numerous books from English to Punjabi, songs writer and who had appeared in every newspaper of his state for all accolades he won. he was Born in the year 1939 and stayed all of his life in Punjab. Retired as a Manager from the Indian Postal services and won more than 100 awards in the field of writing, poetry and literature. Today when you will go to his room, a library has more than 1000 books to read and learn more. But while I am telling all this, you must be wondering about whom I am talking about.

Friends this personality was my grandfather, S. Khushwant Kanwal. I lost him the day after I joined NITIE. My parents didn't tell me because they thought I would be worried. And  I am an unfortunate one who was not in the condition to go and see him for the last time. He loved me a lot till I was there at my home in Amritsar. I used to study in his room and he was very happy with me because my father was not very good at studies during his school days. So he used to tell me that one day I will do very good with my life and When I joined Tata Motors after my college, he was very very happy. Though he never enjoyed each and every moment with me because his condition started deteriorating after few months I Joined my job.

Every time I used to go home after 2 or 3 months and for every single day, he used to sit with me and talk a lot about his books and how I can do better in my writing skills as I started writing a short story after getting inspired from him. He always had that charm and a positive aura around him which made me used to talk to him endlessly.

I met him last December in 2014 and after that I was not able to go home because of my official work. I didn't make the first, second and third list of NITIE. And I was determined not to join any other college, so I planned to go home on 14th June, But when I got convert in the fourth list on 11th June then I planned to go directly to Mumbai here. Just after I landed in the Mumbai, next day he left me.

Now I feel that I could have used that time to meet him in last few months then today I could have much more satisfaction internally. I still miss him a lot and I hope I would be able to overcome this feeling internally. So please don't hesitate to do whatever you want when it comes to your loved ones. Express everything you have in your mind and spend time with them always. I wish he is calm and happy wherever he is. I hope I would make him happy always, wherever he is now.

Rejections are Important!

Rejections are part of every individual's life in this world. Be it from life, society, family, friends, office, colleges, business etc., they always hurt. We have a lot of examples of personalities who started with a lot of rejections but ended with awesomely successful life. These days, to cope up with a stress of any rejection is in itself a difficult exercise. Most difficult phase is for students when they face rejections from their most aspired universities all around the world. There could be a lot of reasons behind that, but individuals start to blame themselves for not writing a good statement of purpose or cover letters. But really, is it a matter of concern when we see life as a cycle of success and failures? It's not at all easy to explain your life in mere 500 to 1000 words because world and life are more than college admissions any days and this is not the end of the world. Moreover, human values have no relation with colleges and what they teach to students....

Thank You NITIE! and Mumbai Meri Jaan!

On 11 th June 2015, NITIE’s admission office released 4 th  list of cleared students for PGDIM batch 2015-17. Boom!! I got the last seat … sheer luck I guess. That feeling was just splendid when I got a call from my friend who is studying in IIM Lucknow that Bhai! Ho gea tera. Time was 4:20 PM and I was working on my new project. After that call I started calling my closed ones. I can still feel that moment because when you’re a supply chain and operations enthusiast and you get admission to best B-school in that domain then nothing else can explain your happiness. NITIE is best among all B-schools let it be IIM A, B, C or any else when it comes to supply chain and operations. Big question, Why MBA?  was answered and that too in style. Oh my God! How would that be to go to classes again, meeting new people, living in Mumbai, doing new assignments, late night chats, parties and lot of college fun.  I called my boss personally and told him everything. He was ...

I'm 26 and since the very first day, I started understanding worldly affairs I have witnessed my father abusing my mother every day. She has endured a lot.
