Hi Good People around me,

THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY....

Hey All,

I am back!!! You know throughtout the day, I was repeatedly looking at my email, You know why? Because I was waiting for one person's email......but sadly it didn't come. Though I don't know the reason but I am sure for one thing that I am a big fan of that individual. It's immaterial whether I and that particular individual get along into a relationship or not but it is for sure that I would like to be in touch with that person for intellectual reasons only.....No relation in this world can survive without value addition. Hence, you got to add more values into a relationship and it can be done only by the people involved in that relation. Life at the end of the day is about the choices you make and you have to make majority of right choices in your views only (without disturbing the social equilibrium- as you'll get into a controversy) to be successful or atleast termed as successful individual.
I am still hoping to get a response from that individual because of one reason- that life begins and ends with hope- hope for betterment. Hope for Answers to all the queries you have.

Ohh...Goddd.......Suddenly I recall I have to go back to Jaipur in the evening tomorrow and in the morning I have a meeting with HHML- GM. Hence need to get back to the planning. I got to go back. Till then...Good Bye.....n Astalavista.

GoodNight.Good Luck. Shabba Khair. Sayonara.
Amrit.

Dear Friends,

It's been pretty hectic day today as I had to comeback from Jaipur to prepare for another trip within next two days' to go back to the same place. I came to attend Rakhi Festival.

As a Manager, at times I feel , its too many things in hand, at times my hands are so full that even time matrix fails to live upto the expectation, My own brain stops working and I start thinking about things not to be drolled upon at that time. I am going through one of most critical phase of my career- which is make or break kind of.

It has been a real tough time, inspite of growing by 28%, this year, I still feel a lot can be done. I had taken a 50% growth based on my own market assessment and teams capability. But, so far have not been successful. Why I took such a steep growth, is still debatable by many people? But, let me assure you - it was a conscious call. If you don't raise your own bar, somebody else will raise himself beyond you and will be the one who will be the next King - obviously in corporate terminology.Hence you need to realise your real potential, have trust on your guts, faith in your and teams abilities and Move ahead.

Four new members are joining my team and I feel, butterflies in my stomach as my Team strength has gone upto 18 members. As a leader, I have lot to do. In terms of bringing the desired market correction, inventory and price correction, bridging the demand and supply gap and at the same time ensuring that all the right practices are followed by the team.

I had written many SOPs for my friends studing in US and UK with one common thought written by me- "You need to have a Goal. You need to be aware of the path that leads to your goal, Finally you need to have enough courage and conviction to follow the path that leads to your goal."

My Goal for next two years on professional front is " Correct the Market and be the one who is leader in true sense". the path is to correct team of mine including all the customers whom I consider in my team only. Courage and conviction is there since childhood. For the last 6 years, I have been working for more than 15 Hours a day without any Break. I only take break in Summers to spend time with my family for a week, so as to regain my energy and recollect my thought process.

Remember again a thought by me " People can copy your result, but they can never copy the thought process which had produced that result"

I think, I am going to be the greatest Business Leader Earth has ever seen since its evolution. Nobody can challenge me, Its not a statement but a purposeful vision of mine.

Regards

Few read articles today...

Hey Buddies,

Today I went through one of my friend's blogs whom I don't know in person, but still could relate with her in terms of her thought process, style of writing, Intellect and her share of mind. It was a good experience. I have rarely met people who have their views on all the things going in and around their lives. Good....Experience...

Life is a journey and you come across few good people who share their thoughts, energy and passion. I am firm believer of the fact that "More than destination, journey is important." I think I am diverting from the topic.
I was talking about my friends' article. It had few good posts, few things to learn from, few things to comment upon. Overall it was a good experience. I never thought that in Maithil Brahmin, girls can be found of this nature who is straight forward, too emotional, ambitious, energetic though a times, lacks emotional fortitude but having a nature of fixing the issues and not drolling over it. Good. I liked the same.

Good Night and Astalavista

MONTH-END BUSINESS

Dear Readers..........

Today, while coming back from office at 11:45PM IST, I was really tired due to the entire days' proceedings....It was really a painful day....as it was monthend. I had a target of 6.8 Million INR for the month. I was sitting on almost 3 million till 30th of the month and had to do some 3.8 million on the D'Day........

The day started on a poor note as I got up late in the morning and had to rush to the one of the distributor's office.It was cunningly hot day in Kolkata. Had to take a cab in order to reach their on time. Somehow I managed to reach there almost on time......actually to be honest was 15 minutes late, as the lift was not working and had to reach the fifth floor with my laptop, few notes weighing almost 10 Kgs by staircase. After reaching over there, was really agonised to see that there was no electricity. I was really helpless........Adding to my woes was ....no breakfast since morning...

Somehow, I drank lots of water and asked the distributor to send somebody to bring tea and butter toast for me...He did that and after taking the pair of toast in almost one gulp...finally normalized. Distributor had to make a payment of almost 1.8Million in one single day.....but due to some or the other issue, was not in a position to make the complete payment and was almost short by 0.5 Million. We had a huge argument on that.......suddenly I checked the time and it was already half past twelve and we were not even discussing the sale for the month. I concluded the meeting by ordering him to send a personnel to our office in order to deposit the payment.After that , left that place without collecting any order.....My situation was pathetic one.........

Then I decided to leave for office, as my entire mood was rotten one.....By the time, I reached office , it was already 2 O'Clock(traffic jams in India are terrible!!!!) ....no lunch till that time...I decided to finish my lunch first. Post finishing my lunch, by three rushed to the main industrial market hub in order to meet one of the biggest distributors of mine.....The meeting was unfruitful one.....I again had a huge argument and was really frustrated...After that left for the third distributor's office and result was the same...no developments.Adding to my agony was time. It was slipping away every minute......

I returned back to my office by 7:30PM. I was feeling very bad and thought that perhaps in this month for the first time, I would go below my targets.....I had almost a pack of c......After that went to washroom to freshen myself.....Then decided to organise my effort....But time was running out. I only had 4 hours left and nearly 3Millions more were to be done....I thought for a few moments.....and again went outside to lit c....I returned to see the biggest distributor sitting alongwith the boss in his chamber...Boss was yelling on me and was asking about the episode that happened in the office of that distributor. I said to my boss that "I did the best thing". On this I and distributor again started yelling at each other related to the various issues, infront of the boss....I left the meeting....in an awesome mood.

After that I returned back and saw the time and it was running out. I grew impatient and asked that distributor regarding the final negotiation and we came to a mutual understanding of nearly 2 Million INR( I wanted him to do 3.5 Million) . I was still short by a million or so.

I then called up two of my earlier met distributors and asked them in a very political manner regarding the final liftment of materials. We came to the agreement of 1 million total . But the problem was one particular clause which was to be lifted through our portal. But it was not working at all. I was really nervous, as clock was slowly ticking by.... Finally at 11:00PM, Portal started working and did the billing JIT and finally managed to be almost 20% ahead of target by 11:30PM....The figure was magical one " 8 Million INR". In the end, I was satisfied .

But as it was too late, all the hotels were closed, just couldn't had dinner. Reached home at 11:45 PM. Ate a pack of maggi and finally lit a c...and was thinking about the entire day proceedings.......All's well that ends well....

Really it was an eventful day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the kind of monthend we have in marketing........I am Loving and cherishing each of the moment..
