Before starting this week’s letter, I would like to wish Happy Diwali to my all-professional network, may God shower desired happiness around all of us on this occasion of prosperity and lights……………………….

The day I thought of the separation from the empire in Gujarat it was not an easy day but a few hard decisions in life are required to shape us for the betterment and you memorize them later part of life. I would say.”

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better?too!!!!!!!!!!”        

The different land for the work but got many old friends there to start together, a major part of the work was carried out with Italian, UK, German, Indian, and a few Philippines.

The infrastructure was so huge from the office to the main work area was not less than 5 km, a lot of new work to understand as got the opportunity to work from the Client side “Believe me when we are working on a client role your feeling is that you are building your facility and experience is different when having healthy discussion with PMC +Contractor.

I thanked GOD that I correctly started the chain so that I was able to enjoy the work on the client role.

Sub-Contractor>Contractor >EPCC >PMC >Client.

The morning wake-up time was 4 am and breakfast was 5:15 am and starting before 6 am was the daily schedule, I can recall the cock waking up with us and dropping us off to the TATA bus. During the journey, COVID hit us badly. The job rotation was after 6 months of landing in my home country, but the flights were canceled by many airlines.

OH, no way, no option, just stay at Lagos and work -work and work, even local drivers also left the place in lockdown, but it allowed me to drive left-hand for more than 30 days, this was the first event I was not able to visit my loved one for continuous 11 months and then circumstances getting smoother after some time.

Still, I recall the days when the halt time was 18 hours at Dubai airport, few flights, and no option,

working abroad alone is not fun guys when you do not have family support in your tough time.        

During various travels in these 3 years, I got checked up for the covid many times and even got my COVID-19 doses from Africa. The day I saw that our close friend died due to COVID-19 after two days of infection, it gave me a trigger to come back to INDIA and I started searching the available options.

After I resigned from this empire, I got the tickets to travel back to my country and again got for the COVID testing, and what bad luck guys

“The 2nd last COVID test I got +VE.        

No flatmate, no maid, few friends, and a lot of medicines I got, and the ticket got cancelled, The Ambulance parked outside for my pickup to the hospital the day got detected covid.

Hey GOD. two white-dress doctors are requesting me to pack a bag for the hospital this might be the day to reach Dubai if I flied safely with -ve COVID-19 result but it did not happen.

I remember my father's advice that no one can beat our ability if we are calm and confirm in our mind.        

I requested both doctors that please do the check-up at home and allow me to take care of myself and they agreed, thank GOD.

I have taken proper care of my body, and mind alone which gives me a lesson that no one other can make you afraid of life it's only the mind that diverts you to negative thoughts. I got to understand a few spiritual gurus during my recovery of nearly 20 days.

The last COVID testing was OK on Dec 21 and flew back to Delhi and enjoyed myself with my loved Ones.

Thanks to the participants who have enjoyed my story,

life is not easy if you are not determined for what you are doing, the only one who can break or make you in is your OWN- MIND.        

So, mind yourself” People never appreciate the person if they feel they are not superior to you” SET your own goals, milestones, and mountains, make the path of success, and write the victory in your own words.

If you are better than yesterday it is ok, you are not a robot……. Why compare with others………… Learning is a continuous process that makes us better day by day and it takes time to grow in the journey.

?

Stopping my words here, I do not want to be emotional. Happy Learning….

Thanks/Deepak
