I consider this as my 3rd innings of my professional life. This started taking shape when I met Shikshantar school principal. She met us and asked about my life as to why I chose to be an engineer and not a badminton player or a sportsperson. I looked inside and got lost in the vividness. the questioned started piercing me day in and out.
I always used to think that if I were not an engineer then what??
I am a very average person with the limitations of an average man. And like all avg person I also have some special skills. I can pick up things very well. I can be inspired very easily. I can work for the betterment of society. I cannot hurt anyone and I try to be politically correct all the time.
Of late i have started to say NO. Wow what an achievement.
I left the 2nd innings ( my pure corporate world) at the pinnacle of my career. I did not know what I will do but I knew I will do good. So I let myself loose and let time go by. The answer came 3 days back when I lost my sleep. However hard i tried I could not sleep. I fell in love. This new found dream had all the ingredients, love, climax, drama tragedy and my mother who always stood by me (others too but this had to rhyme with the dialogue). It had everything that I loved to do- adventure, exploration, glamor, daring to go, inhibited growth, society development, inclusive development, leveraging Anju's network and experience, then I had found my true love.
I consider shipping as my 1st professional innings, IT world as my 2nd professional innings and my new found love for retail as the 3rd innings.
