Khuli hawa ka mazaa!
So I am in that bhaav mode again ! :)
I am co-teaching a YES!+ at IMT
Ghaziabad. This course is special – for lot of reasons. It’s been one and a
half year that I became an Art of Living teacher and I had shared that incredible
feeling here! Every time I take a course, I feel a different level of
closeness to the Master :)
The state of mind gets elevated and the very feeling that he is getting things
done through me brings in so much gratitude :) (There’s no better feeling!) I joined a full
time job in January 2013. It was not an easy decision though. But when God
himself comes and tells you to do something, you don’t have a choice :) …and you do it
smilingly :). But
I must mention that my job is really good. People are nice, work is nice, Boss
is also nice. It is a start up firm so it has its own share of challenges but
overall a good and enriching experience. Since we are in the expansion mode and
a team of around 15 dedicated and self driven people, we wear many hats when it
comes to work. In such a scenario, taking leaves is a challenge.
My YES!+ mentor asked me if I would want to
teach YES!+ at IMT Ghaziabad. It was a great opportunity indeed since only senior
and full time teachers were taking it and very few new ones were asked. To give
a background, this YES!+ is for their Ist year management students and
is sponsored by the college. The YES!+ format is mostly same across cities but this
one would have a professional touch to it. So I knew it would be a new
experience and an uncommon one from the open courses I have taken so far. But I
had a full time job…that too 9.30 am – 7 pm…and I had taken the leeway of
coming 1 hour late daily to office last week due to another course..and it was
in Ghaziabad..which is like 2 hours from my office..and no one else was going
by car from Delhi…and blah..blah..So basically I had my own “reasons” for not
taking it up BUT, I wanted to teach this course.
During my CBS days, the goal used
to be get into a good MBA college. We were groomed in such a manner in our
college and that used to be the fervor. Even when I started working, the vision
was to do an MBA from a reputed college after few years of work experience. But
for some unforeseen circumstances, this dream never saw the light of the day.
And I also dropped it later. So to teach Life skills to MBA students was like a
dream come true :) Ok! So I want to take this workshop. I
came in the YES mind. Now next big challenge was…How will I manage office? When
I am dead sure about anything, I make it happen – by hook or crook. And my
intention becomes very strong. So I asked my Boss ("asked" would the polite way
to state it: P ). After some discussion, I managed to get half day leaves.
Yesterday was the first day of the
course. To say the whole experience was brilliant would be an understatement. Lot
of Guru stories. My life has
something new happening ( which I like!). And the beauty is I am doing master’s
work :) I
leave at 1.30 pm and reach by 3.30 pm .The course goes on from 4 pm – 8 pm. Post that I stay in the college
campus..have dinner in the mess..and then left on my own to take a
troll..chitchat with other teachers..and simple chill! Wow! 4 more days of khuli hawa mein saans lena.
I was ultra happy yesterday and was sharing this with
a friend who has not done Art of Living course yet. Very nice indeed of him to
lend me patient ears :D
Keep Smiling!
Swati :)
