Personal

If I would not have been running an IT company, I would have been a Musician - I have said this multiple times. Since childhood, I was fond of music. The musical notes would suck me in a different world. Many people usually get distracted by noise but I actually ended up having background music played right through my 10th and 12th exams and even in college.

After a prolonged illness, Jaymanbhai Shah - a person who held highest ethics, a lover of environment and someone who had real positive influence on me passed away yesterday on 20th April night- He was my neighbor in my old place Rameshwar Apts, Sola Road.

As an environmentalist and ethics lover Jaymankaka was a very simple but strong person.

Sulay and I have been speaking at dinner table for years now. He is now in grade 7. He knows that I have been keeping low on health but also appreciates that I have stood up and fought it out. For me as an entrepreneur running a small IT firm, he sees the bigger picture as I do.

I grew up in a family of males. I have 1 brother and 7 cousin brothers and 1 cousin sister. I have 2 boys as my kids. We were all very naughty and mischievous. But when I see my mom and even today, I cannot imagine how someone can be so loving a quiet living her entire life. My nanny was also like that and so is my mother-in-law. Dad was always tough and strict.

School, College life is always fun. You enjoy the thrill of youth, travel and lots of emotional ups and downs. You pick up fights, you show-off, you compete at various levels to build your career. Also you create few role models in life which will determine what you will become.
