NEVER GIVE UP- KEEP RUNNING

"Everyone falls down only the best get back up!"

Hi friends and readers! Hope all is going well with you! While life has been quite eventful at my end I am here to share some experiences with you! 2 weeks back I have traveled to Chennai for an event of the brand I am associated with. It was not only a trip for an event but also I got to meet new people, became pally with one of our associates in Chennai. His name is Rajesh and we immediately bonded as we met. What intrigued me is he is a Gujrati living in Chennai. I find such combinations very rarely, we had long chats and he told me about his wife and son and how he is so attached to them. It was lovely knowing about people and then you end up taking back some learning from them. I learn from everyone. As I went to Hyderabad from Chennai I got to know a lot about the South market for luxury watches. The only brand that has highest recall over there is Rado and Rolex. However allthough other luxury brands also have their presence prominently but nothing like this 2 brands. If you are a fan of luxury watches I have some recommendation from my understanding. It depends on your choice that what drives you to buy an expensive timepiece, it is brand or the technology. If just a brand then we all know what to buy and shell out huge money out of our pockets. But if you are looking for brand and technology, not because I work with the brand but in this period I have also learnt the brand and product credential. I will surely recommend ORIS. ORIS is a affordable luxury watch and is built on the foundation of 4 families- CULTURE, AVIATION, MOTORSPORT, DIVING. CULTURE watches are dedicated to musicians and we have also limited edition created as a tribute to eminent musician like Bob Dylan and Chet Baker etc. AVIATION watches are built with the technology suitable for Professional Fliers with the features that suit their requirement, MOTORSPORT collections are meant for people who believe in speed and are in love with automobile sports and diving is for the DIVERS. We have Aquis Depth Gauge which is a creation of Oris Group and is not available with any other brand, it is created implementing on theory of the Boyle's law, meant for professional divers. Watches are stylish, and are available from the price point of Rs.59,000 onwards. If you want to know more about the brand visit the website www.oris.ch.

So apart from my work as you know I do lot of other engaging stuff, so just to let you know I have started taking the training of kick boxing. As I have been always mentally quite strong but physical strength is also a ability that we need to build up for ourselves. When my trainer Rocky would cheer me by saying "Go girl! You are doing great." "Strong girl! There you go!" I cant explain how powerful I feel inside. He has been extremely encouraging and even told me he has never found someone as good as me at the first go. It boosted my confidence level even more. Most of all we all have anger and we need to let it out somewhere. Suppression isn't good. For me when I walk out of "INTENSITY" I come out with peace as the punching bag takes it all out from me and I let the Monster out for a while. Monster within me was angry not only with people but also with me because I have never let it get out. But I am glad that I am letting my anger out at the right place as if I nurture it within myself the end result could be quite threatening. So here it goes I want to strengthen myself as much as I can. I did not let my artistic end slow down. I am practicing a dance form which I will let you know in due course and also did couple of song writing for Tam Steez who creates MixTape and she seems to have liked my song. So yes I am occupied with handful of things and also trying to give my best to each one of them. As I know my capability the only thing which was left is to take the leap of faith. Which I have taken already now.

HARDWORK WILLPOWER & DEDICATION

Yesterday night I went with my very old friend for a movie "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag". I have always loved movies based on sports which are so awe inspiring. But nothing like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag! What a movie! What an actor Farhan Akhtar is! He proved in this film that he is one of the best in the industry. I felt very close to the character of Milkha Singh. He lost his entire family during the partition of India and Pakistan and he saw his own father getting killed and rest of the family floating in the stream of blood. I saw my entire family shattered and scattered in pieces when my Dad lost his life in an unfortunate incident. We got to know the news just a day before my High School examination. It was not in our region so till the identification of my father's body was done we all were impatiently expecting it not to be him by any chance. After waiting all day long at 10pm at night I got the news first that the identification of him is being done and we need to receive his body from there. Then I had to give the news to my mother and my sister and stand strongly to get the procedures done. After all night pathetic spending next day was my exam, unprepared me unwilling for  anything at all thinking I lost the Man who mattered the most to me and all I could do is sob thinking of my Dad a great person like him received so much respect from everyone till he was alive had to go through so much pain wondering why? Must have been thinking in his last moments about me, about my mother, about his unfinished duties, he so much must have wanted to live!Next day I did not want to go for exam but one of my Dad's friend pursued and suggested me to go for exam anyhow. I had 6 papers, 2 of them in a day, duration 3 hrs for each during the same week and I passed in all of them with good marks, while I also had to be a part of my Dad's funeral right after one paper and then go for the next after attending itin the same day and then the last 2 paper during my father's "shraadh".  For I have never known to give up, even in this tragic hour of the sudden painful loss of my Dad. I still promised myself to survive, so I kept going and working hard. I wanted to be like my Dad, hardworking and independent hence from a very tender age I started working and earning my own living. I never waited for somebody to take care of me although financially we were a stable family. I can only say difficulties and hardships can  make you stronger so it did to Milkha Singh, so it did to me. He fought his battle alone and so am I doing, but I always stood tall. My difficulties and hardships had only made me stronger. There are time when i  break down, and keep sobbing and fighting with God for hours. But like Milkha Singh's coach was his God for me God is my coach. He gave me difficulties to only make me stronger, He gave me those pain in life which I never wanted and never wanted to face it when I have no one around me to hold me when I am falling apart but the pain came to me anyway. I had no choice but to stand tall and face it. He made me stronger. Until I did not understand his idea of doing that. On those dark days every Morning God will stand in front of me like a Coach, as soon as I open my eyes, the first thing he does is reminds me of my current condition and he provides me the weapon to fight which is only FAITH, HARDWORK, WILLPOWER & DEDICATION. Life has lot of similarity with sports. It is like a game, we fall down, we lose, but we also show the sportsman spirit to get up and fight the next battle. The journey of Milkha Singh is all about Myself and also my fights, I know my Fights and hence I respect Fighters. So always know you are not the only one in pain, have faith in God. He will never give you pain that you are incapable of taking. When you are hurt think it is a practice to just make yourself stronger and Yes God is your Coach! I feel i am his favorite Warrior and hence He works hard in making me stronger. So remember to not stop Always Keep RUNNING!

I would also like to add if Farhan Akhtar does not win awards this year for Best Actor category then I believe its futile to watch any Award Show anymore!

NEVER GIVE UP! #Ironguts #Power

P.S- My writing will be always a dedication to Former Miss. Universe and Talented Actress Sushmita Sen for her motivation. Thank you Mam for the inspiration!
