Determination
OK. Back to Post.
Humm... I don't know how clear I remember this story but I would love to share whatever I remember. I heard it long time back from Sr Bachchan himself in one of his interviews or may be from his blog.
Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Amitabh's father and a famous poet of his time, used to go for a walk every morning. Before he departs for morning walk, he wakes up Amitabh. Amitabh, being an obedient son, wakes up on his first call but goes back to sleep the moment his dad leaves home for walk. He enjoys the 40 mins sleep before his dad returns home and pretends to be awake since his dad woke him up. I m sure, father knew about this cute habit of his son.
Anyway, that’s not the best part or the story which I wanted to share. There is something significant which used to take place everyday for continuous 3 months during Mr.Harivansh’s morning walk. There used to be a big stone on the way to his walk path. He thought it would look really good in the house garden and will be of some use instead of just lying on the road useless. The stone was too huge to lift by one person and it wasn’t a time where Mr Bachchan could afford to pay someone for such labour.
He decided to move the heavy stone an inch everyday. He continued doing so for constant 3 months and one day he brought the precious (now!) stone to the gate.
The stone is still there at Big B’s place which reminds him of the determination before he leaves home for work everyday.

Marvellous nai?

Raincoat
Rakesh Patel
Gandhi spent all his life trying to find out what truth is. Even his biography’s title tag reads - Experiments with truths.
Love is sacrifice, it is giving, it is that exhale of breath which comes after seeing your loved one happy, it is the smile with sparking water in your eyes which comes by fulfilling what she wants. Love is wait. It is to conceive an idea to surprise her.
Love is eating food in the same dish. It is that feeling when you feed her with your hand. To me, to know love is to know a part of the truth of life.
Neeru and Manoj live in the same street, in a close neighborhood. They Grew up in poor families. Neeru loves to make fun of Manoj's serious nature and Manoj on the other hand finds his happiness seeing Neeru secretly through his room's window.
Neeru being from a typical poor Indian family knows her parents dreams and put them on top of everything. She agrees to marry a supposedly rich guy with a good job compared to Manoj who could not even afford to buy an engagement ring. It is needless to say love between two never dies after marriage. Practicality wins and Neeru follows her husband to Calcutta. Manoj never marry.
After six years, Manoj leaves to culcutta to meet his old college friend in the hope to borrow some money so that he can start a new business. Manoj, being not so educated himself takes help from the same friend and requests him to write one letter which he can show to some moneylender in Calcutta. Manoj couldn't resist to ask his friend to show him Neeru's home. He just wanted to see her once. In a rainy day, Manoj borrows his friend's RAINCOAT and leaves for Neeru's place.
They met after six long years. Those six years did not even create six inch of separation in their hearts. Neeru explains how she enjoys the comfort of the city and possess all the required things of the household. Manoj on the other side acts as good as Neeru and tells her how rich he is now and has everything that he ever wanted. When Neeru leaves to get some food for Manoj wearing the borrowed raincoat, Manoj finds out from her landlord that the big house with antiques and amenities everywhere is a rented home and how Neeru's husband is now jobless and mistreat her. Manoj gives all the money that he borrowed from his friend to the landlord. This would buy Neeru 3 months before she and her husband would get evicted from this house that they are renting. Neeru finds the letter in the raincoat which states the amount of money Manjo needs to start a small business and how poor Manjo really is. She keeps her most priced possession which happens to be all her jewelry in his raincoat's pocket. Both make this selfless sacrifice for the other without knowing that the other person also knows their reality.

Extended Transition
Rakesh Patel
As life doesn't exactly follow the footstep of your dreams, it doesn't easily turn the way you want it to direct. But to grab the opportunity and make it a beautiful path makes one successful.
Usually when opportunity comes, it can appear in a different form or can come from different direction than we usually expect. I guess, this is one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and it often comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize it.
Since I knew this characteristic of opportunity, I just applied my "Never Say No" rule to my manager's word when he said - "Go and fix 10MW Pratt and Whitney machine. I don't know how you do it, I want it to run by this week" Since money wasn't an issue, My shoulders had some support. Anyways, I don't want to bore you people with the inside technical story of the Project. I will just tell you about the fun part.
The three genius Mr John Jodon, Ben Copper and Carlie Marinda was on the project and I was following them. As being fairly new to this machine and in total experience compared to these guys, I had more to learn than to fix.
Observant nature teaches you a lot. Turn your head around with this attitude and the head box ( brain ) will be full in few hours. Store it in your hard disk and turn your head again! I was more of observant and obedient. My work was from holding the torch to removing some extra complicated parts of the machine. Understanding the control system, circuits and troubleshooting the actual parts was fun. Finally, after 9 days of straight work, the machine looks happy and running smoothly.
Mr John Jodon is the dictionary of Pratt and whitney machine. He is the very first physical link of my very old dream "NASA". ( Will tell you more about it at a right time). Fun with work mainly involved the two countries - USA and Australia. John is from Texas. Me being an Indian and Carlie, filipino, was spice in the talk. It was more buddy vs mate. highway vs free way, walmart vs Kmart. weather its John's Ducati, his different range of cars or his wife and daughter, John exactly knew where funny was and never missed any chance to make his customers happy.
Remember opportunity never goes empty, if you don't become the host, someone else will.
dream on guys, its the best way to live your life.
Peace and love.
