  • Men who shaped my life

    Men who shaped my life

    Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    There are a few men in my life who have guided me in a positive direction and given me a way to live this life in a much better way…

    The first one would be my late father, who was one of the pillars in my life he shaped my existence (literally) and taught me how to be a better person by just being present in my life and acting like a good father figure to look up to, even though we had limited time with each other,

    There are some decisions of his that I question myself but those were taken keeping in mind my future and the future of our family-led business…

    But I’m really grateful that whatever time we had together was spent in happiness and neutrality…

    The second one would be my father’s brother, my uncle; he is the one who taught me all the business that our family has to date, and he taught me the basics and the complex things of the business that we now run together;

    He imparted me the sense of respect and how to please a client and negotiate what feels best for us (margin-wise) without having to cut deep into the pockets of any of our potential client a time of five years under his guidance gave me a different perspective at life also the shoes he had to fill when he was a child forced into this business too…

    The last one would be my friends, without them I’m just a wandering soul on this planet, they keep me grounded and also help me achieve what I am capable of there are so many instances that have shaped me that happened just between my friends which gave me a new perspective on life itself;

    They are with me when there was no one, and they shall be with me until the end of me…

    These were the few men who positively impacted my life…

    Cheers 🥂

    Hey…

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    The prompts these days are getting better and personal day by day,
    but,
    that gives us a chance to self reflect and retrospect,
    the things that we liked or helped us change our paths after finding out wrong or bad ones…

    For the brands that are my favorite,
    I generally prefer good quality clothes that are going to last me a while,
    even if I have to spend much on them initially,
    for example
    I’ll buy an Adidas T and track pants,
    and on the other hand,
    ill thrift some good quality t and lower that cost much less but they’ll give my me a fresh perspective with colors that aren’t available normally…

    I’m very picky about my shoes,
    let me tell you all this…

    Once I entered Zara and bought a shoe that had various colors,
    which appear clown like now,
    Once i entered a Levi’s store and bought a pair of black shoe and i still wear it till date,
    even if it’s past its expiration date…😂
    You’ll find a few nike(s),
    which I ROCK,
    along with that you will find some campus(es),
    which provide comfort and support to my foot all day long…!

    Being a tech savvy person,
    I have a laptop (Lenovo),
    using One plus phone( quality of which has deteriorated from the rigorous way i use it…)
    Because both of them are easy to navigate through,
    and help me get things done easy and faster than the competitors…

    This is more than enough details for the time being,
    I feel like exposing a layer of myself after writing this one,
    But,
    this shall live on with me and forever I shall remember them…

    Cheers 🥂

    The duality of life,
    having been on all four sides of this image,
    has given me perspective beyond life itself,
    1)waiting for my metro and to take this photo was a coincidence in itself,
    2)waiting for the metro with a certain someone that completes me,
    3)going away to those who help me live in this bitter life like the person in the left,
    and
    4)viewing this all from a perspective the person who was sitting right next to me
    who isn’t a part of this pic…!
