Friends
I wish to share with you some emotional incidents happned to me:
1. In 1992, once I lost the job and could not get the new job immediately. In those days, I was almost hand to mouth and was burdened with heavy debts too. The job loss was a serious blow on the survival of me and family. Finally a gentleman helped me and offered a job and was asked to join next day. I reached to the office on time with tiffin in my bag, fully excited and confident about my capabilities. But unfortuntaely I was asked to wait at the reception. Initially I thought being new in the company probably they want me to be introduce with all the senior guys. But the excitement faded soon and after half an hour I started worrying. After one hour I inquired from the receptionist to ask some one inside. She came back without any expression on the face. After 2 hours, i was in deep tension, still nothing happened. By the time every one coming in and out of the office was steering at me. Then I called the person who put me on job to do some thing. It was already 12 pm . He asked me to wait in office only. After 3 hours of waiting, I was asked to give interview to a middle level officer in the company. Though a very humiliating, I went to his cabin and he in 5 mins threw me out. Again I was at the reception looking to the receptionist. It was 1 pm now and lunch time had started. My tiffin was in bag but by this time I got the idea about what has happened to me. I called again to the same person who put me here and this time he said you get out from this office as you are rejected and hence asked me to go to a very very small factory if I want job. There I reached by 2.30 pm . The owner of this company was having lunch and I could see him talking over phone and eating. But finally this guy was very courteous and agreed to take me in job. He first asked me about the lunch and I immediately started taking lunch. I was so obliged by this man that would never forget his obligation.
2.Recently I had a chance to visit one of my professional client at Ahmedabad. His office is in a building which is amongst first 2-3 Buildings I visited initially during my struggle period in the city. Infact in 1994 I had to leave Mumbai for some health reason and hence was searching job in ahmedabad. So I first went to a renowned company and asked for the job opportunity if available but could not get. Then went to another company located in this building. There I was asked to wait for about an hour and later told of no such opportunity. In between one very junior assistant of the company came to me , felt pity at my condtition and told that to get the job you should meet one consultant who may find some suitable opportunity. Fotunately I got the job and time passed. In just 14 years I again went to that same building to meet a very reputed industrialist. By this time neither that junior fellow was available nor the company where he was working existed. I was thinking about the person who guided me. I dont know him nor his face . But this is the life. It was very emotional thought. A thought of looking back in past 14 years' life. We come accross lot many people who help us directly or indirectly but we forget their support soon. Even dont remeber their face.
I would share some more incidences soon.

Initially every body faces difficulty, who start a fresh on their own. But one who has faith in God n himself survives. U have to put all ur strength n efforts to come up, but this is only possible when u think positive n dream high, n try hard to reach ur goals. It is true tht u never come to know who comes in ur life n helps u out..till u realize may be it is too late. But i wish nobody in his or her life has to face such difficulties. May God bless all.
