Rama Moondra

One more year has gone by. From the place I am standing right now, I tiptoed to look at what I left behind. Not so surprised that, my eyes are moist.

The year as usual has been losses and gains but losses of humans and gains of more work and success.

Though the year saw lot of goodbyes of big names, for me Jagjit singh was the biggest. His velvet voice was only respite in lonely freezing cold U S days. Tucked in remote western America, I related a lot to his voice. Ghulam Ali echoed my sentiments when he said,” Mera yaar,dildaar chala gaya.” Dev Anand and Mario were next two. Café Mondegar at Colaba Mumbai has been a favourite hangout for me. Mainly because the walls are adorned by Mario’s creations bringing Miss Ninmbupani,Miss Fonseca alive.

My Babuji lost his speech and is now bedridden. Seeing him this way, has taken a lot from my soul. I am slowly waking up to the fact that it’s a countdown of a person who shaped my life in various ways. I wish. I can reverse this and see him the way he always was. Unable to bear this pain, I reel under it.

This year I learnt the biggest art of my life and still practicing it. I finally graduated to treat people the way they treat me. (Have been inhumanly patient with this trait.).  Understood a small fact that door can be locked from both sides.

Three new big names came in client list and brought amazing satisfaction of creativity and strategic implementation of policies which has been my core strength.

I am little more recognized, a little more wanted and though never ever did any business development, I am blessed with an enviable clientele who patiently waited for my dates. Thanks to them and to god almighty.

“May your fan –following increases.” This was a wish sent by a client, who sold two hundred DVDs of my video in one hour.  I now give my video s too with reading material and it has been a great experience.

I also look forward to the journey of becoming a master coach. It takes seven years minimum of brain training and I am on the first step. Exciting but draining every drop of my energy, the four hours study, has cut down on my sleep by two hours. Now I sleep only five hours and hope I master this too.

Right now, after a great new year beginning while watching sun rising from the sea, I am writing this with a faith that the New Year will bring the best for all of us, I hope, not to let go of golden leaves of any plant for this year.

May health, wealth and peace be yours and everyone you love. Happy New Year.
