The Story of Number 500!!

Today is a symbolic day for me!

I am certain nobody observed it! I stop here and glance back…

Today I have arrived at one of the MILESTONES, which set for myself 5 years back.

I HAVE REACHED MILESTONE 500 IN MY BLOGS POST IN LINKED IN!!!!

Thanks to all my associates!!! I thought I will never come to this spot. 

My BLOGGING journey commenced in 2015.

I used to joke with my colleagues in ABB @2015 that once I should get number 500, and we used to joke, each article will be like the Indian Penal Code, which will be called whenever demanded.

The blogging journey triggered because I used to fail consistently in the interview! I was fed up with this process. I had started thinking if I could establish a knowledge repository where I should be able to find all the challenges and answer whenever I search for it.

That is the launching moment, I started picking up all the challenges, difficulties, pain, and hatred in the form of a blog for future use since 2015.

Since then I have been walking and shutting my mouth, looking down and writing, reusing my blogs whenever required.

Any of colleagues asked any question for guidance, I generally send them my blog. in case if it helps them.

I always read my blogs before my interview in case it helps!

Most of the blogs people liked, some blogs people abandoned.

Every year I completed 100 blogs so far.

Now like addiction, I feel something is missing when I can not log a blog in a week.

I look for a challenge in the assignment which will confront me and compel me to think, exploration and exercise some model, framework which I will apply and take away a few vital observation.

I am indebted to all my colleagues who encourage me to write, challenge me to write, criticize me to write, know me as I write, invite me to the conference as I write!

Some people identify me, I am a cut-and-paste blogger; I encourage them to come with me and cut&paste, this will particularly help all of us, in a process they will not waste anything only gain wisdom.

This blogging gave me 2 books from my side to the world, I will not be there but the book will be there, I know many people will not buy these books but still, it will be there in Amazon. 

One of the biggest challenges, I have till now; I have spent a significant portion of the earlier study in Bengali languages, so my English is miserable, I get the feedback from my reader, which I yet to correct. I am now fed up with the deficiency. Every new year’s resolution is failing to improve the same. My speaking English is also Bengali English with Hindi mix! so communication is also a challenge! which encourages me to sit home and communicate less! Less social!

Over a period of time I realize, I could be a storyteller, in most of my training, people like the way I present the message. I have been a trainer for more than 10+ yrs in my 2 decades of experience.

I use most of the blogs in my training as it is ready to consume at any point in time. I use my blogs in any conference, as it is invariably ready, it is a different story that I rarely get the opportunity to speak!

One of the finest satisfaction from blogging is that my kids are also like to read and write, as a role model I could able to establish some signature in their mind. 

I wish I will continue on till 1000 and people may read or may not, but for my mental hunger and food, I should keep moving... 

If the first 500 produced 2 books, the next 500 will generate 3 books, in the last mileage of my career in the coming decade, I should finish my innings with 5 books in Overall. 

Looking forward to all of your support....…
