To discuss about my Jaipur journey, I’ve to discuss how I
came to Rajasthan. Why did you come to Rajasthan, is the first question,
everyone ask?
Why not? Is my response. Everyone of my age group were behind
the position, money and some entertainment. I’m no different. I enjoy the
position, money and a lot of entertainment. Earning 20K in single shot by
publishing a novel made me believe that money can’t bring everything.
I had more fun in publishing rather than selling. Being in college, in a single shot, I had 20,000 cheque who bought a lot of books in bulk. I never prioritized money from then. I love money. I’ll use it for what I want to do rather than earning money for no reasons, I decided.
In my first job, I was taught Mainframe coding and I approached HR, to give me a role where I could work at my best. I was given Project Management & Operations role where I had the responsibility of setting up the account and help my delivery partner. I took baby steps in that process and learnt the work. The designation sounded fancy. I loved the work. People gave me respect as they hear my designation without knowing what I actually do. Manager of something. Management of something is always a fancy. Working for two years with the way I want to work, I thought, I can do this MBA or management at any point of time because, that’s the obvious thing in life. Leaving the money and career, I wanted entertainment. Everyday, evening I used to attend events related to art in the city. My flexible work hours helped me to attend the events whereever or whenever.
I want to spend time learning something about this world
which runs on different rules, I began to ponder. It’s not completely run by money, it’s not
completely run by this social standings of the society. There’s something
beyond it. Or may be there’s a mix of everything, I want to learn and
understand. I want to travel and learn. I decided. That’s when I got to know
about Azim Premji Foundation.
