Don banana Mushkil hi nahi Namumkin hai…….so name is Sandeep not Sandeepdon.
I am Sandeep. Sandeep Walunj. This is my first blog. I am not a frequent blog reader but always aspired to be a blogger. This is the first step ,I am taking towards my goal, hope you all readers will enjoy blogs and encourage me regarding the same. I am going to use this forum to explore myself and to share my thoughts about any damn think that is going in my mind. It is going to be my personal diary open to all dear ones.
I am pursuing MBA at NIRMA University, Ahmedabad (IMNU). Its nearly first quarter of my life is about to complete .The journey up till now is more than gratifying, pleasing and enriched with many more kind of experiences. There is no better teacher than Experience, and I firmly believe that. As the pages will get unfold , I will share most of my good ,bad , happy , sad kinds of experiences. I am always thankful to the unknown force in the universe (I don’t believe in GOD) who has given me the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful life with gifted personalities around me.(My friends).
I am extremely sorry for not completing my first blog and posting it halfway through. I have a promise to keep which I made just 5 minutes back to my 1st love (Sachyaa darling)…will explain it later.
First of all sorry for posting after long time, I was busy with first term exams. Starting with the remaining part of my introduction, I belong to a small and beautiful town Loni near Shirdi. I have done my schooling and junior college from Loni and then completed my engineering in E&TC from PICT Pune and joined IBM as a software developer. I was perceived as above average performer during these years of my carrer. No offenses to my topper friends but I always had an objection on these quantitative criteria of judging an individual. I personally know many individuals who are far better than their academia is showcasing. May be some of you will think it is an excuse for underperformance.
I don’t even remember when I first time heard the word “DON” but I am always fascinated by it. It might be my 5th or 6th standard. I associated this word with excellence. There are some words, pictures, signs which we remember without any relation and interpret their meaning as per our convenience. During school days, I watched Amitabh starrer “DON”(One of my all time favorites). It strengthens my perception about this word. After that I started calling my friends as Varundon, Ajaydon,Sandeepdon (not me) etc. and this trend continued till now. I used to associate myself with the adjectives that glorify DON(May be because of my successful schooling carrier). The filmy nature I possess surely had its roots from those days.
DON according to me is a person who lives life on his own terms, make his own rules and set his own targets. He should possess style, class, sense of humor and commonly uncommon way of achieving his goals. DON should quickly and accurately identify the nature of people around him and their open and hidden interests. He should be highly dependable, loyal and responsible. Everyone should feel secured and involved when he is around. Don should have courage to say sorry and accept his mistakes. All in all DON should be a solo hero of a multistarrer bollywood film. I hope you got what DON means to me, it is not all about the good characteristics one should possess but it is all about smartness. And when it comes to his dear ones then he should follow only one rule that there is no rule.
I always aspired to be a DON. The only regard in this context is that I had never used my potential to the fullest. This thing always made me satisfied but not happy. Be it my below expectation performance at HSC or payment seat at engineering or my poor show in 2007 MBA exams. I believe, I am better performer than these results are displaying and could have performed far better if given a second chance. But DON is expected to perform in 1st chance……I never got second chance…..and the trend continues. (Most of us won’t get the second chance…so it can’t be an excuse).
I don’t know why I am unable to associate smoking and drinking with DON. Even though I used to find it as a style statement in my engineering days.( I don’t do it …….probably is the reason).One more thing about DON ,I disagree is that “DON ke dushman ki sabse badi galti ye hai, ki vo DON ka dushman hai”(DON). I believe in “Takat ,logo ko jodne se badhti hai, na ke unhe kilaf karne se….” (Sarkar). Some of the readers might feel that this is common excuse used by cowards. I think “Dum, bajuvo me nahi hota…..kahi aur hota hai..[;)]”,”Isliye dikahve pe mat jao…apni akal lagao”.
There is very simple test I use to decide whether I am feeling like a DON. Just stand in front of mirror and look into your own eyes, if you can salute yourself then you passed otherwise ……(only condition during the test is; be honest to yourself…..trust me it is the most difficult part of this whole exercise).The only strength I possess is that I am honest to myself.(kal bhi tha,aaj bhi hu…..kal ka pata nahi….kyu ki mai ab manager bananewala hu….jokes apart …..kal bhi rahunga..). Friends will be the best judge for deciding whether I am really a DON or not.
…..….so name is Sandeep not Sandeepdon.
