Life's been an interesting journey so far ....
When i was in junior Kg ..i remember i got 23rd rank ... (class consisted 25 kids) .. and after coming out of the class i said to my mom tht i need "Enegry" (energy is the name of the drink Amul produced ..dont knw if they still produce it) ... mom said u definitely need some energy and i got my energy when i got back home (this energy means when mom beats like hell .. hahaha ) ... I learnt my first lesson tht day .. if i dont score good mom's not gonna like it... so tht day chottu Hiral decided tht this should never happen and tht i shud get a toy whensoever ne result is annouced ... well by the time i was in 1st standard i was the best student in my school ...
Its amazing how tht day has influenced ... how can i remember tht day so distinctively in my senses ....
Mom I thank you for that beating ... the nine and thirteen ka table ... all the maths check points u taught me ... telling me how a bank account works at 9 ... we had 3 bank accounts and my first official assignment was to mentally tabulate all deposits and withdrawals and remember the closing balance in each of those accounts ... phew ..all that the age of 9 ... the bank teller's used to be surprised when i use to tell him the account balance after a particular transaction ... infact i forgot to take calculator for my final CA accounting paper .. didnt matter .. by tht time i was convinced brain is equivalent if not better than a calculator....
Its amazing how parents can influence you .. dad sent me to our broker to collect contract notes on stocks dad bought and sold ... honestly i took me enormous to figure out tht statement ... but eventually i figured it out ... I'll now be an investment banker dealing with stocks all my life ... doesnt make me afraid one bit .. been there done that .....
When I passed CA foundation, my dad promised me a pair of Rayban's ... however the bet got deffered to buying something else (more in value terms) if i passed my Inter CA in first attempt ... so tht too i did ... now dad told me "Oh y not defer it further" .. the bet finally was a Raymonds suit if i clear my Final CA in first attempt ... i did tht too ... now dad tell's me ..oh u r a CA u can buy one for urself ... hahahahaha...
The focal point is never be convinced by what u r or what u have achieved ...cuz there's smthng better ahead .... jus keep walking .. never stop ... two of these instances and many more like them make my life ...
Thanks Mom and Dad ... u taught this important thing ... "Yeh Dil maange more..... " ... "Never to give up" .... "Never to say i m done" ... if this is not an investment banking lesson....wht is it?? .. I read in an article that you are born to be investment banker ... i would say no; you are made an investment banker ....probably ma & pa taught me to be an investment banker all my life ....
I'll walk out of my B School in a few days time... will be an Investment Banker and once an I-Banker always an I-Banker... all thanks to my parents... Thanks god for giving me such wonderful parents ... I am a very difficult kid and they manage me well !! I love them both !!
