JOURNEY OF LIFE

Amol from Blue Print takes us through his eventful and inspirational journey of life. An encouragement for all of us here...

I was born in a middle class family. I was the reason for my mother’s constant concern and worry because I was really weak when I was young. When I completed 12th standard I gave up studies to start earning. I had to work because the conditions in my family were not that good. Responsibilities had come early in life and made me know the value of money and time. I know that I can sometime waste my money but not time because time never comes back.
After quitting studies, I decided to become a driver because I liked driving. I joined a transport company (Mhaske and Sons) where they had four trucks. I worked in that company as a cleaner (one who guards the truck and is an associate to the driver). I could get to take bath only twice a week and sometimes thrice because our truck used to travel all over Maharashtra and rarely got time to take bath. I used to sleep on the roof and cook food in the truck. I used to remember my mother and feel sad because I could not go home. In those two years I learned driving. It also taught me to live in any atmosphere. I learned the value of hard work in those days. In my childhood my mother used to work from morning 4 am to midnight 1pm for my education. She wanted to see me well settled. I had decided to fulfill her dream.

I joined Bluelotus as a driver to Mouli sir’s car. As his driver, I got to observe him closely. He worked hard and had passion for work. I took inspiration from him and decided to complete my education and learn more things. I studied journalism and decided to become a journalist and join a newspaper. But Mouli Sir noticed me and gave me an opportunity to join Blue Print team which is lead by Archana. I am sure Mouli sir has a six sense to recognize the ability of people. He is one of the best leaders.
BLCC had organized a party at Opera House where my name was announced for entering PR. Everybody had written good wishes on my shirt. I was on cloud nine that moment. I was so glad, I couldn’t sleep the whole night. Mouli sir had given the right direction to my career. He showed me the path to follow. I met such good person first time in my life.
BLCC is not just a PR agency or company, it’s factory- Mouli’s factory- where good people were created by Mouli sir. And each person who goes out from this factory I am sure can face any challenge in the world. I was learning new things in BLCC. I always told myself that this is a school not an office, so I have to keep learning more and more.
Every year there is an award function for at BLCC. There are five categories and my name announced for Best Turnaround of the Year award. I was surprised I had won the award. That was the first award I had won in my life. When I first told my mother about it, her eye’s filled with tears. My mother used to tell me to face the reality in any situation, don’t be afraid and keep learning in failures too. I kept in mind to always learn something different. And therefore I joined dance classes, acting class and gym to help me beat my stress and have a positive outlook to life.
God has given us this life and we should take care of it as if we have got it on rent. Everyone must work hard for make life joyful for them. If Hon.Manmohan Singh can start his day at 5am and finish at 1am, and Amitabh Bacchan can work 5am to midnight, when both of them have crossed their fifties, I am sure, so can we. I know it’s difficult but not impossible. At least we can honestly dedicate 8 hours to our organization I am sure everybody will be capable of achieving their goals and our factory will reach that certain level!
