Adding Value To Our Life
A drop of sweat trickled down his forehead, scars of tension & fear were all over his grim face. ‘I’ll be there as soon as possible’, said Mr. Manu, over a phone, a 70-year-old man, sitting on a shabby chair, in an alone platform of a little-known station, at the stroke of midnight. He had tears in his eyes, anxiety in his mind. He was worried as his little sister, Mou, was left stranded in a secluded railway station of Asansol, 200 kms away. Continue reading “Manu & Mou”

‘Take baby steps, don’t look down, you can do it’, said Simran, standing right behind me.
Fear had completely grasped me then, it is not very often that you are inches away from a 1000 mt ditch. Standing motionless, glued to the rock, shivering with distress, moving a single step was a challenge. One foot wrong, slide, fall & gone. Yes !! that’s true. With freakishly steep rock at one side and ridiculously deep pit at the other, with no mountain climbing experience behind, I hung in balance between Life & Death. For some, standing on top of a hill, looking at the scenery, absorbing the natural beauty might be an awesome view, but for few, trekking dangerously close to the cliff is no less than a horror story. I belonged to the latter category. This trek was turning out to be a nightmare for me.

To be honest, it has been because of a failure. A failure of a dream, A failure of a try to do something different. A failure of an attempt, to challenge the world. I failed, yet I succeeded.
A burning desire to do something extraordinary started it all. Maybe the quest of earning money fueled this. I summoned all the courage to start a Clothing Merchandising Business, tried hard, really hard with petty resources, helped by few wonderful ladies around me and did a decent job, initially. But, decent job definitely not enough. The unknown territory I put myself into only bought troubles, hardships and agony. I pushed my limits, tried harder but my ability didn’t back me up & inexperience did little help. Ultimately, after the struggle of dozens of the week I fell, probably I accepted the hard reality. I accepted the failure.
I jumped into such a territory which really never meant for me. With little knowledge of supply chain and little time to devote, this end was inevitable.
