The Story of The Special One !!!

This is my own story... And I call my self the special one because if you dont then no one will.
And you will come to know why i call myself that as we go along.This is kinda brief intro of the Animal's life!!
I spent all my life till now at a very beautiful and small town called Vashi, Navi Mumbai.Its adjecent to Mumbai city,only crossing the creek bridge will land you up inside Mumbai.My birth date 26th January.So lucky I am as I always have national holiday on my birthday(India celebrated republic day on 26th January).But I was very sad because of this as all my friends used to distribute sweets on their birthday and I never had an opportunity to do it on the same day.But later I realised that it was God's Gift for me.As I said earlier in the post, Vashi was a very small but emerging township during my school days.And you will come across familiar faces whenever you go to market or to any fun fare or to a movie. So though one may be not be knowing everyone by name but certainly knew each other by face.Still remember those days when the roads used to be full of mud during rainy season,everyone would rush in for a new movie in Vashi's only theatre,the two lifeline buses for Mumbai 501 and 502 and ever chocked Vashi creek bridge!!
My childhood went very smoothly under the care and watchful eyes of mom and dad.Growing along with my cousins,learnign new things and how to adjust and everything that is useful for the life.As I was a single child going to my uncle's house at Sion was a really nice experience for me.I learnt sharing and many good things abt life with all the love n care of my cousins,uncle(Baba) and aunty(Aai).Really it was a dream childhood. The God had planned the perfect start for me.
I was a bright student during my school days and secured 1st rank till 10th standard. I came out of school with flying colours being awarded as "Ideal Student".I scored good 88 percent in SSC board exams but those who know me were expecting much more.But I never gave importance to the end reasult in my life ,If the efforts that I had put in are satisfactory its always more than enough for me.
I did all my education till 10th in vernacular medium and now in college I have to deal with English.But it was not the real problem.The real problem came when I was admitted in one of the mumbai's best Junior college and I have to compete with 100 students who were certainly cream of batch and many were topper of their schools and I had to improve my English skills at the same time.Thank God again!! There were some good friends who helped me all along and even my hard work paid off.I was well settled in the new environment though still facing the difficult situation.But I am the special one and I came out of it with good marks in 12th.Not Great score but enough to secure a seat in a nearby engineering college in the central admission process.
Then I did my engineering in Electronics and Telecommunications.There also God always give me the feeling that he is always with me and nothing can go wrong!! Two times in two semesters I did not know what to write in computer programming practical exams and guess what electricity went off before the exam finished and I got saved.There were many instances as such which made me believe that someone is guarding me from above.
One more time The super power helped me... I was initially not selected in TCS palcements but later I got selected in Tata Infotech Ltd.But somehow I was unhappy that my friends wont be with me and guess what!! TIL merged with TCS and I got offer later frm TCS.I just love you the one above!! He solves all the problem for me before I could realise...
After my ILP programme at TCS I got an offer to come and join at mumbai my hometown.And that too at office merely 50 mins away from my place.And not only that the magical spell continues... I got into a support project where computer programming skills were not required. And I ended up showing great interest in work and surpassing my own expectations too.Oh certainly large share of credit goes to my team mates and seniors who groomed a freaky Kid into a reasonable resource(as they say in IT)! I learnt a lot from my collegues and they certainly have large contribution in my life.Thank You all (Ram,Karuna,Sahil,Amit,Anant,Bipul,Swati,Kiran,Monica to list a few..sorry if anyones name is missing.. But here I felt like giving the names as they made my entry into professional world really smooth!!) Again thanks to Super Power above to give me such a nice team who all cared and nurtured me.
Oh you might think that I am a very religious person..But No,I am not.The fact of the matter is I hardly visit mandirs or say any religious place ( Not visited since last 8 months).The Great One above and The Special one (thats me) have a very special relation.I just thank him from bottom of my heart when I want to and he too accepets it galdly.( Just by closing my eyes).No flowers ,No gifts Just a special friedship I have with him.I never disappoint him with my actions neither do him..Kinda mutual understanding beetween us.But I know whenever I want him he is always there for me.
This Journey till now certainly makes me feel that I am the special one indeed..And someone is taking care of me from above.I need your blessings to flow like this always!! As I feel from inside there is certain work I destined to do.Lets see how it goes on...
Thank You for makin my journey of life special....Love You All for your valuable contributions in making this journey a funfilled experience.Need your blessings too in taking it to new heights!!
