My Reflection

I struggled in my early days of life. I didn't had the liberty of choosing the course I want to be in, choosing the college I want to attend. I don't want to blame anyone for whatever was given to me at that time but I think I made most of my offerings and was fortunate enough to finish my graduation and post graduation.

The atmosphere was not so conducive for studies and I ended up doing job to support my education from a very early age. At the age of seventeen, I became the youngest employee of a company called "ICNET" who were involved in email solutions for enterprise. Since, I got used to earn while learn, I continued with my pursuit of education but hanging on to my job. Although I wanted to make big in the software arena, my ambitions were cut short for a while. I knew that it's not going to be smooth ride for me and I have to slug it out at all cost.

Success came to me but I fought hard for each and every bit of it. The biggest difficulty I faced was that I didn't have anyone to coach me, guide me and take me to a right direction. I did whatever seemed logical and viable to me. So I decided that whenever I get a chance to guide someone, I should do so whole-heartedly. One such opportunity beckoned me when I saw Kedar in similar situation in life. I saw Kedar in same struggle as I was and I seem to see my reflections in him. Now I see him reaping benefits in life and I feel very happy for this boy who also has learnt things the hard way.

I am thankful to Kedar for not just seeking my advice but giving me a chance to see me again.
