“Don’t lose your will and never give-up”.

It was 27th of March 2001; when I had to leave form my home for the first time to further pursue my education.

The entire day mummy was busying packing my luggage and favorite food for the 30 hours of long train journey.

I was totally nervous and in the fear.

Travelling alone for the first in my life was the biggest immediate challenge he had to get prepared for.

Self navigation was the very first task which papa asked me to work upon.

Seating inside the train, peeping out of window, all external surrounding atmospheres was crossing at 80 km/h of speed.

I was continuously drawing several imaginary scenes in my mind.

The whole new uncomfortable, undetected journey started.

Times of wheel were kept on moving and my first day in college started.

From ragging to finding for like mined friends; lots of complains and demands in any possible forms to deal with was became my every other day’s new breakfast menu.

After finishing my studies and all the degrees in my hand, I Get set with on Campus job in IBSL.

On the 1st of March 2007 I reached to the reporting table.

From the very second days training programmed scheduled.

I started filling and adjusting all possible thriving voices into my brain.

But the disagreeable poltergeist news was hiding behind the curtain and was processing in the company’s annual board meeting.

And very next month of April decision finalized to the laying off all the new campuses joinee from across India.

I had no choice but resign like others.

I still can hear those blaring into my ear.

I along with all others could not able to digest what joke was cracked on our future.

I was on the street for finding me a job and the global financial crisis of 2007–08.

Shock continued and arrested me into the darkest room of my mind.

For three days I hided this news from papa and mummy.

I have not able to talk to them and in the fear of disappoint.

Somehow I unruffled all my courage and I started sharing in and out my broken heart with papa .

We talk for over 2 hours that day and he kept telling me his own good and bad experiences from his life.

He kept on encouraging me like a coach.

He said this life beta abhi bas shuruat hai. Aur bhi Opportunities ayengi. Aur isse bohat dyada achhi hi hogi. (This is the life son , Its just a beginning. Many more attractive opportunities will come up.Far better than this.

So don’t lose your will and never give-up.

In July 2018 I lost my father but the way he used to motivate and encourage me are always with me forever.

Today during the extreme phase under the full clutches of COVID 19 pandemic, ensuring one’s own life is the utmost priority.

Never the less all the new unwanted, uninvited financial challenges, job insecurity, businesses losses, losing customer and many such traumatic situations are into every next person’s mind.

Future seems to be unpredictable. All our mental stigma and blockage need to be cured first.

Considering this an opportunity, I am intensively working to help others with mind set of spiritual service of giving back in all my possible learning, knowledge, experience or monitory support for the most needed purpose.

For the past more than a year I am working on few project topics on how to up lift the rural economy and to create an impact on the lifestyle abundance of people working directly or in directly in this Eco system.

Conceptualizing the need of hour I felt to start up with an idea by using digital transformation we can create a all new possibilities and the integrated streams of earnings into farmer’s produce.

As digital business advocate I am in the mission to help 10,000 Agropreneur; how to multiple their income and to develop their own self Branded Business Eco System.
