It was a bright sunny day. I still remember the day and the moment when I was crying, pitying myself for losing a game even though I tried my best to win. My grandmother took me home after consoling me and scolding others. I still remember this day because it taught me that it’s ok to fail.
I spent my growing and self-discovery years in my native village named “Chafewadi”, named so our village had lot of Magnolia trees.). My day used to begin by taking my farm animals for grazing, then I would beg my mother not to send me to school because I hadn’t done my homework, quarrelling with my friend, Raja for sitting in front of him and seeing another friend Ajay resolved the matter by suggesting that we sit in front of each other on alternate days, spending my weekends either roaming in jungles or fishing in the nearby river or just running around for something for whole day.
Those were some of the best times of my life where I explored myself, where I spent all my time with my lovely grandmother, without being worried about impending responsibilities.
When I came to Mumbai, specifically Thane, life started moving so fast that I didn’t even realize how the years went by.
In that fast-lane, I spent amazing time with my friends from the municipal school, where we created bonds for a lifetime.I spent my observing & absorbing 7-8-9-10th grade with more heartful friends, with someone touching my soft chord, with best of school memories which I could live to the fullest . Those 4 years of SSTVM gave me with lots of highs and a small but a life-changing blow.
I spent my biggest learning lessons during my engineering where I met my ever loving and out-standing gang where I found my love & respect for stage, where I could coached a Girls Cricket Team, Developed my love for my theatre, art and dance.
Those were the days where I discovered my love for writing.Those were the days where I was falling in love with someone else and I got hitched by my someone else. Those 4 years of failures, success, true friendship and a Total Entertainment, taught me more about life.
I somehow completed my engineering, got into Job, left my Job, got into business and Business is what I Do for my living.
So longstory short, from Small Village Boy to An Engineer to A Businessman to A Writer is My Story.
