Last night, was watching a movie NOT on TV but on HBO……without much attention….. just for the sake of time pass….something running back of my mind……like why dint I started studying for CFA bit earlier… what would happen if I fail… how would I start preparation for level -II if I pass the exam….. blah..blah..blah... But suddenly one delivery from the idiot box grabbed my undivided attention…. “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present…..". if this is the case then how can we ignore someone’s gift… why the hell we usually think about what we lost and what we don’t have... ignoring the gift what we have now……. we waste our 70 % time crying on spilled milk, 28% time on how to achieve some kinda great things, which is beyond the reach of any tom, dick and harry… and barely 2% of time on what goods things we have now…. I remember, in the grilling room of my CDAC interview, the panel asked me what is ur strength… I fumbled….coz was almost blank….i dint know what I am good at…. Ridiculous… isn’t it… but then they asked what is my weakness?……spontaneously it came out I need to improve my data structure skill in C…. I am having tough time on that…it clearly shows how much time we think about what we don’t have rather than what we have…… At that time I thought probably it is the effect of my excessive accounting knowledge …..application of the conservatism concept on life…”recognize revenue only when they are reasonable certain but take losses as and when they incurred”…. Then I realized….. May be it is with everyone……. probably it is innate human nature… we give more value to the things what we don’t have even though they are trifle…..we usually ignore thing which comes to us easily….irrespective of how valuable it is……

I m where I wanted to be...
2008 feb11....Joined deloitte as business valuation associate.... the domain i dreamt for .. i planned for....loadz of excitements and tons of new learnings.....but with a pinch of hard feeling ..... working in the backoffice....
initial days i found bit difficlut to accostomed myself with MNC culture...again the workprofile.... bit different from my expectation... one thing these mncs are very gud at is packaging... they package some rotten stuff in some hyper definitive material.... and sell them as it was the only best material in the market... remember U.S. subprime crisis and the concept CDOs..... same thing happened with me... they dint feel any shame to presesnt somekind of drawings act as checking mathematics or "math check"...if a mathematician will hear .. he will die of shame....the person who loves number crunching started hating maths....But I sensed some scope in this.... scope of working on some gud projects.......learning some of major valuation concepts.. which would not be possible in Indian companies... One good thing about these MNCs is that they are very structured... everything is in place....
I took around six months to understand the organisation and the work..... then I knew if I need to build a niche for me in the organiztn then obviously i need to choose an area where no one is working .....Debt valuation was an instant answer...... becuase with subprimse crisis... debt valuation and distressed debt valuation works on all time high and there are rarely any practitioner who kneew how to value them....
I slogged for an year to understnad it... becuase debt val is one of the gray areas in valuation.. very few people know it....over the year i manageed and executed some good projects... that to end to end... my effort to convert hyd office from back end to smart end started showing some gud sign....we started getting projects... around 90 percent works executed in India offie.. no more hard feeling of back office...I build some gud rappo in the field, which helped me to bring some projects here.....I am enjoying my work... i can see things happeing which i dreamt for...I am branded for my debt valuation skills.... People in U.S and India office know me for debt valuation....
Now i am on search for doing some thing new... some thing different... some thing like an OUTLIER....

Added new string to my life...

me and guitar... are like oxymoron...m finding it very tough to hold guitar properly and move my finger in right direction.... butstill hoping to play atleast some good songs in near future....

Weaving my Past.....
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. Napoleon Hill
I hailed from a small town, where information network is under construction all d time.... everywhere sth gets outdated ....it reaches to my place as a new discovery....even if we want to do sth new ... think sth different....scope n opportunity pulled our leg all d way....
since my schooldays i was facinated by corporate world so always wanted to be a business man... without knowing much intricacies of bizness. passion for bizness compeled me to enroll for commerce... i was gud at number crunching and hence good at accounts... i used to clarify doubts of my friends.. was like personal tutor to them... i enjoyed doing that.... and my friends and faculties praised me for my accounting abilities and suggested to do some professional course....then started to dream abt being a chartered accountant.....but by the time i get to know the courses for ca and the process of its registration.. i m half way throug my bachelorette...in that meantime I was dazzzed by IT wave.... thought of making my career in IT + bizness... E-commerce and ERP were some terms i was thinking even in my dream...i enrolled in some local computer coaching centre and started learning some IT jargons....I wanted to do some course, unlike 3 year MCA, some short term , which would landed me up in some IT+business profile...few IT folks suggested me to join 6 months program of C-DAC-one of d India's best IT institute and the develper of super computer... usually computer engineers after their Btech join this course to get into some of the best IT firm....this institute enroll students after a regorous 3 round of entrance process... writeen in C and C++, technical interview and lab test on a C and C++ progamming skill... Even though I was good at accounts and numbers... C/C++ was like greek and latin to me..... I vivdly remember the day i went to that local institite and i dint know even how to turn the system on....forget about C/C++.... But the passion to get in to IT domain made me mad... I left everything just started learning C and C++.... I was glued to the turbo C editor....experimenting sth or the other .....from an accountant, in just 3 months, probably 1o hrs each day, i prooved myself better than any xyz computer engineer... my logical flow for any program was quite better than others....finally, after my grad i got through C-DAC.... i slogged there for 6 months... more than 15 hrs a day....I used to live, eat, sleep and dream in the computer lab... i throughly enjoyed each and every moment.. coz i achieved wat i wanted to achieve.....
my luckfactor started clicking....but thanks to 2001 burst... i ended up with no jobs and loadz of frustration.... i came back home and started developing small inventory management packaged softwares and sold in the market to small business men....few people even came to me for some customized software developed as per their requirements.... i started enjoying the work as i was feeling like working in the entire value chain... from requirement analysis through development stage and then sales and marketing to end customer..... i made few bucks also.. but certainly that would not be my long term career....
then started my struggle time.... joining some jobs... leaving them and starting sth here n there... all unstructured and unplanned... no direction...
Then I started thinking seriously abt coming back to bizness dream... MBA was sth on my card... but confidence level was all time low... started to build confidence by doing sth or other unique.....started doing some small small tasks and i used to direct all my efforts to achieve them successfully.... sucess in these small small tasks eventually helped me to get back my lost confidence...it took me 2 yrs to get back to the track... then i planned to do Mcom before doing MBA.....
my struggle for last 2 yrs taught me many lessons... it had groomed me to a complete man with loadz of patience.... rationale thinking power... strong planner and organisor... it taught me one good lession... THINK.....THINK ... THINK.... before you do something...... think of plan of action to acomplish the target... think of alternative or backup plan if current plan failed... think of all possible X factor on which you have no control....
my Mcom days were my golden period.... i did wat i wanted to do...i turned myself from a backbench follower to a front runner leader with loadz of passion and positive attitude. i started taking lots of initiative... passion for doing something different and unique was my hallmark...my quest for being the OUTLIER started on this great platform...infact, i started couselling people on building their career...i turnedout to be good counsellor and mentor for few folks.... i developed my knowledge on finance.. i realized this is the area where i can present myself as a unique professional...
then did MBA... here I honed my softskills.. i learnt how to deal with people.. how to manage project... how to tackle stress...
All went as per my plan... then I joined a company where i dreamt to be.... Valuation... business valution.. again back to ma favorable number crunching business....
