10 Memories of Year 2019

What I learnt in 2019- “Sustain, Persevere and Fight Back”

 

Before I write about the things, I will remember for life.

Let me share with you a few dejected moments of 2019, Yuuppp… about some nights- (a few silent, a few dark). I stay alone and I don’t like injuries (physical pain) or emotional pain– injuries scare me and emotional pain make me uneasy.... when you stay alone- you can’t share your stories with anyone, only your pillow knows your pain and unfortunately, the truth is that your pillow keeps it a secret.

Trust me its OKeyyyy…its ok to stay alone. Its ok to feel pain… (It is a reality, It is a teacher and It is the law of nature)… You build a strong backbone to deal with failure. You use it as a stepping stone…Bad things happen- "how you respond to them defines your character and improves the quality of your life"...!!

Here are the 10 reasons, I will remember 2019 for my entire life.

1.     Lived a disciplined but flexible life (this has lot of gravity, I have seen people losing their everything to achieve one goal or maintain an objective- I follow a different philosophy. On days when I failed to follow my daily routine, I took it easy and focused on the next day instead of regretting about the past or taking stress.

2.     Group “Miles to Trek” served almost 800+ Trekkers on mountains. I love this feeling of being called a Trek Leader, A Captain and A Mountaineer (An Engineer on the Mountain)- Exploring something new, taking up new challenges every weekend and solving them. (Thanks to all the trekkers who trekked with us)

3.     Moved out from WhatsApp group's/Facebook Pages which shares n@de/scandal/hidden camera videos because my phone gallery is not meant to keep track of n@de photos/videos. Honestly, there are other important things in life that deserve our attention.

4.     Entered the world of cycling, represented an NGO as an Ambassador/Voice of a NGO and cycled 650 KM for 4 days to raise the fund for the education of the underprivileged children. (Those 4 days were special days of 365 days for those kids who have a dream)

5.    They say, “Love can happen at any age but go for romance when you are young”- I dated one and maintained my status from Single to SECRET.

6.     Learning to balance- Continued with the corporate job which earns me my bread and butter. It toned my anger, irritation and shaped my personality. Been professional & loyal to the core, no regrets and no complaints.

7.     Avoided arguments or heated conversations (Though I have my own independent views, I prefer to keep it to myself, only if a situation arises or if I feel the society will benefit, then I step forward)

8.     Traveled to Mata Vaisno Devi, Jammu, Delhi, Patna, Pune, Mumbai, Indore, Mujjafarpur and Explored- Jaipur, Alwar, Neemrana, Hathras, Chennai, Chikmaglur, Coorg, Goa, Shivmoga, Honnemaradu, Ottapalam etc.

9.     Tried my best to save a life with the help of my close friend, while travelling back from Chennai to Bangalore. (Sadly, the stranger lost his life in my lap- RIP)

10.  Rescued the injured passengers in a bus accident to an ambulance with the help of other trekkers and my few amazing friends while traveling back to Bangalore from a trek.

Life Moves ON …Life Goes ON… Keep spreading positive vibes… Keep reading… Wish you all HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020

Trek Leading- Toughest Job ?

Someone asked me "Why trek leading is toughest job"? And here I AM ……………….

My father is serving in Military from last 28 years and from my childhood i was always passionate about his job, I wanted to follow the same steps where he gets opportunity to serve country and travel places. As eldest son of my family i always asked him about his job, daily routine etc. Now, the situation is i always request him to take retirement and stay at home. Every time i approached him, he opposed me and said that he wants to serve till his last breath if not then till 60 years. Tough to hear such courageous and brave words from a man with half bald and half white-black hairs at the age of 50+. He always motivated me with his words, talk and philosophy that “his job is amazing”. He knows his enemies, he knows his teammates. He knows the man next to him is his friend, a warrior, the one who will save him, his life when he will be in battle or danger zone.

At the same time, when i remember my five+ years in corporate job. corporate job is tough. you will never know your enemy, you will never know your friends. the person sits next to you and shares the same cubicle is one who plays another role behind you.

At other end, Trek leading requires micro management. it’s very tough. Things will be never in your favor.  There are things that will happen that no one can predict and when you think of doing something big, you feel like you are surrounded by the odds. To convert those odds into your favor you need leadership, decision making ability, fitness and lot of courage. The fact is when we take our body out of comfort zone it reacts/overacts to the situation/s - brain won’t work or respond properly on high altitudes. Other hand, people around you whom you are leading are also going through same pain, struggle and they will expect from you, if truth to be told most of the trekkers keep money as weightage instead of understanding the situation to the core. you need to be smarter than the people whom you are leading. You need be very humble and you must need to convert negative energies into positive vibes. Now, when i have trained almost 10+ trek leaders to lead the man on mountains. I have realized – “Valour and Bravery has more value than technical skills and experience”, Mountains are the best teacher and people who leads here are true leaders.!!

Let’s respect these extraordinary man/women who do miracles on mountains and fights with unpredictable situations and saves many lives.

Stay Humble, Calm and Fit :) :)
