LOVE WHAT YOU DO AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE


 

Earlier this week, I celebrated 20 years with Cummins. Reflecting on my 27-year professional journey, I recognize that dedicating two decades to one organization is a significant milestone, there’s still much ahead to achieve and best yet to come.

This journey has not been a case of repeating the same year of experience 27 times. Each role I’ve taken on has brought unique challenges and opportunities, contributing to my personal and professional growth. I’ve truly enjoyed each position, from engine design and development to leading global organization, organizational development, along with full customer-centric roles.

Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of developing many team members and supporting their career growth. With these experiences, I can confidently say I’ve formed lasting friendships.

Every role within an organization is crucial and every one can achieve excellence in everything, whatever you do. Achieving significant success requires a long-term perspective, continuous learning, and the ability to reinvent oneself. It's essential to focus on the goal and tune out distractions. There are no shortcuts to success.

Maintaining a clear vision of the big picture helps avoid getting sidetracked by short-term distractions. One needs to cultivate the ability to look inward and listen to your inner voice. Have conviction in your goals, stay focused, and consistently raise the bar year after year. Your only true competition is with yourself.

While career success is important, it’s just one aspect of life. Health, family, financial independence and spirituality are equally important. Pursue hobbies that offer relaxation and rejuvenation. Big achievements often require big sacrifices, and it’s up to each individual to choose their own path.

  1. Growth is important, but so is finding joy in each day and bringing happiness to those around you.
  2. Ultimately, you are the creator of your own destiny.
  3. Believe in a higher power, one that administers both rewards and consequences based on our actions.
  4. Attitude drives actions, and actions drive results. Therefore, strive to maintain a positive and proactive attitude in everything you do.

Rain will always come and go as per law of nature; one needs to always carry umbrella so that our “Inner Spark will not Die.”

As per Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras “Ishvara Pranidhana” one should focus on duty of Karma Yoga by fully surrendering to the God.

The Joy of Hobby: Life Lessons from Nature

    In a world that often feels overwhelming, where the demands of work and family can leave us feeling drained, finding joy through hobbies can be a lifeline. Hobbies not only provide an escape from our daily routines but also enrich our lives, giving us purpose and fulfilment. One of the most transformative experiences for me has been trekking, particularly my recent journey to the breathtaking heights of 14,600 feet. This trek was both challenging and exhilarating, as I faced the daunting reality of sudden altitude gain, which brought with it a mix of fear and excitement. In India, many people hold a deep reverence for rivers, considering them sacred. The Ganges River, personified as the Goddess Ganga, is one such example, where devotees aspire to bathe at least once in their lifetime, believing it cleanses sins and purifies souls. Recently, I had the opportunity to trek to Gomukh and Tapovan, the origin of the Ganges, sitting at an altitude of 14,600 feet. This journey was incred

Build the Life you Want

  Build the Life you Want Everyone yearns for happiness, and it's a natural state for humans. To enhance our lives and uplift others, we need to stop waiting for the world to change and instead take control of our own lives. We should act as the architects of our own destinies rather than passive observers. Unfortunately, there is no secret formula for happiness—it's not a destination but a direction. The essential elements of happiness are “Enjoyment, Satisfaction, and Purpose.” Even in the most challenging circumstances, such as during the COVID pandemic, life was still to be beautiful. Negative emotions play a crucial role, guiding our reactions to the world in ways that help us survive and thrive. However, unhappiness can spread rapidly; a negative mood in a meeting can quickly affect everyone in the room and even carry over to our homes, disrupting the entire atmosphere. Make sure to spend time enjoying the things that captivate you. When introducing ourselves, we
