The Book "ONE NIGHT @ CALL CENTER" had a tremendous effect on me. It has only enhanced my faith in the idea that instead of wasting life's precious time in
doing what you dont want to do, Its better to be honest with oneself and speculate What is actually you want to do when you are alive? Definitely the path
chosen by your heart is full of risks, but this the only path which will give you immnse pleasure and satisfaction. So go ahead, even an ordinary man with
simple life can do extraordinary things, if he believes in himself and his dreams.These things are generally realised by the people when they are near to
death, then only they think that they have wasted all there life in doing things they never wanted to , to make money that will not go with them, to please
people they dont like.
According to the book four main ingredients for success are
1. Intelligence
2. Imagination
3. Self Confidence
4. Ability to face Failures
The first two are very common attributes that most of us have. But the last two are possesed by very few.
Once you dare to face failure "head on" then only you will feel a sense of freedom with in you. Then only you will start to follow your dreams without any
fear of failure and then only the real talent in you will come out.
Most of the book is full of crap and ordinary things like date with your girlfriend, break off and other petty things. But the last two chapters makes it a
winner overall. It is full of wisdom. It describes an incident where one sudden accident, and then a call from god . how changes life( in full mess) of six
persons.
So the main idea of book can be summarised in one sentence as:-
"Follow your dreams,without fear of failling, becoz dreams come true"
Go ahead a good reading for the soul....

Viru and me use to always whine...
That laughing of Pranav's out of the reason....
Which let my worries go in heaven..
Those 2 coins in Praveen's pocket
Which till today he has never pot....:)
That running to the Moti's house on a single call...
That behavin like a typical bro on the topics of pyar...
That coolness of Mr. Birju....
Which i can never think for me though....
That hasty cake cuttin arranged by Trupti...
Those love affairs i shared with my would be....
There are hundreds of those moments yet to be written.....
They are enough to make my life enlighten....
There was passion, there was love....
There were fights there were conflict.....

To go into those good old days now....
Becoz those were the best days of my life.....

“THOU”
When life is rocking and there is fun all around, whom I think of is thou……
When this heart wants to celebrate, I miss someone that’s thou……..
When I am lost in this vicious circle of life, the hand I want to hold is of thou……
When heart denies trusting anybody the person on whom I want to trust is thou……
When life is lonely and down, person to whom I want to talk is thou……
When this world looks so dark, I see a ray of light coming from a person that’s thou…
The one who I know understands me the best is thou……..
The one who cares for me more than the rest is thou…..
Most of the time, about whom I am thinking of is thou…..
This life looks incomplete without someone that’s thou….
I don’t want to loose someone on any cost that’s thou…….
An Angel send by god for me that is thou….
Neither money nor fame all in vain if I am not with the same…..
So, today I feel confident enough to say from the bottom of my heart that I Love You….
Do you love me in the same way as I do……..

My Leader...My Mom
I feel myself obliged to have my Mother (aai in marathi) as a leader who has influenced me the most. Right from child hood to the date, she has done many things, which have an everlasting impact on me. I would like to explain these on the basis of following mentioned points
Sacrifice:
When I was a child (2nd Std to be precise) my father got a transfer from Gwalior (maternal uncle’s place) to Indore. I was very much attached to my maternal uncle and grandmother and vice versa. Due to which there was resistance from both the sides to not let me go from there. My mother understood the situation well and despite of all opposition from others allowed me to stay their. This was the act of sacrifice had an impact on me that made me realized that at some points in life, to make your loved one's happy you might have to sacrifice.
Determination:
When I and my brother were kids we were having a Luna (Moped). She use to take both of us on that to the school then she use to go to her office. The condition of moped was pathetic it use to get stopped frequently, moreover on steep roads we have to take it up in hand, despite all this she never felt tired or broke her heart and continued taking us on Luna till we were not mature enough to run bicycles. This gives me a feeling that roads of life are not always smooth there are up and downs, there will be times when you have to mere stop and watch but the one who never loose determination reaches school (destination) on time.
Vision:
I could sense the vision of my mother that her most valuable assets are her children and she has to make them leaders in all aspects of life whether it is sports, interpersonal skills or education. She never told me but I know that she has spent all her savings in education of me and my brother. She wanted to make us good in all areas of life so never hesitated in spending money and time on education, sports or cultural activities. This gives me a feeling that it is necessary to have vision and one should never hesitate in spending time or money to achieve that vision or dream.
Freedom of expression ,Trust and adaptability:
My mother never restricted us on expressing our ideas on anything and always kept her mind open to good ideas. She never forced us to follow god or do any religious activities but told us the importance of them and left the choice to us.
When I was in love with this girl (whom I am going to marry now J ) I was very hesitant in saying that to my mother but some how she got the idea that something is fishy and herself asked me to say whatever there is in my mind. She got shocked for a moment but quickly responded by saying the words that I can never forget “We trust you and we know that whatever decision you have taken must be good for you and your family”. Being from a conservative family I was really surprised to see the changing attitude of my mother (and father too :-)). Above incidents of life made me realize that freedom of expression is must, to avoid any kind of misconception or hidden hatred, at the same time it is very important to trust the people with whom you are living with and make them realize that you trust them, this make the bond even stronger.
Change is rule of life, it is very important to get accustomed to the change and keep mind open for new ideas which makes life pretty easy and enjoy full.
There is old theory which says leaders are born but I say difficult situations give person a choice to be a leader, of which my mother is perfect example.
Apart from the above points I am still in the process of discovering the potential of my mother, I always draw inspiration and take suggestion from her.
I feel happy to utilize this platform to pen down the points I have never spoken to anybody about my mother(not even her). Mom you are great.
