Let Me Introduce Myself !!!!

First let me give you my introduction; like how did I landed up in doing HR. From the very childhood I was attracted towards Indian Mythology. In class 6th I got interested in Magic tricks & doing them... (you don’t find the connection? it has a connection & i.e. doing extra-ordinary things with your inner-power, yoga & meditation; but, in that small age it seemed to me as Magic). In class 7th I got interested in Palmistry, Numerology & stuffs like study of the Pyramids (there was an interest in me to know the "Unknown"s of this world). These (you may say) esoteric inclinations led me to what is called Hypnotism then, I started reading Psychological books like BORN TO WIN. I thought that this is my place & I’m very comfortable at this; I started practicing & exercising Hypnotism & succeeded in hypnotizing some of my friends. Then there was one more Turn in my life which affected me the most. The story goes like this that my father was sent for a workshop, in IIM Joka, on personality development under the guidance of Mr. S. Chakravarty. My father didn’t like it at all, but he brought all the study-materials given to him; a lot of Big & Fat books, some notes & a small & thin book (costing 4 INR, in 1999) by SWAMI Vivekananda. What I knew about the Swami at that point of time, that he went to America & became very popular after that. One day the book was in front me Named “Work & It’s Secret”, in a flash I thought let me try it & find out how he became popular & the trade-off was also less i.e. the book was very thin; lets give it a try !!! My life changed; there was no magic in it but simple truths, so simple that we overlook them in our daily lives. I started reading him, psychology, yoga, hypnotism, meditation, translated Sanskrit scriptures like “Viveka Chudamani” & Gita. I was doing all these not at the cost of my studies; me & everyone around me were more than happy with my results. In 11th I started with Osho & started reading Tantra, Tao & Zen. I also dealt a little bit with Bible too. So, before I gave my Board exam in 12th I had already made-up my mind that whatever I do, I would never become an Engineer or Doctor; as those were typical Bengali dreams. Every Bengali Parents & thus, (no choice left) boy/girl wants to be a Doctor or Engineer. So, what should I take up for my graduation? The immediate answer was Psychology. I searched for collages & courses of psychology in India. I even planned what I’m gonna take up as my masters; criminal psychology as it’s a mixture of psychology, analysis & observation.

“One More Twist”: somehow due to circumstances (destiny, whatever) I had to take up B.Tech in Electronics & Communications. Though, I didn’t like it at all; digital & networking was not to bad but, I hated analog as HELL. After initial cursing, I understood cursing is of no use & I’ve to clear these 4yrs & that too properly. I got a first class but, that was not all to it; I found out that I’ve learned a lot in that engineering environment: my analytical skills & reasoning wre sharper & clearer than before, I know a lot of computer Hardware, software & internet stuff (though not in my course but, in hostel I learned about them practically) & a lot of experience of how to survive in this world (hostel teaches you that).

But, the inner-flame for Psychology was still there & I got a way out ----- HR. This will satisfy my “Psychological” need, my B.Tech Degree won’t be in vein & satisfy my emotional need of “interacting with People” (I love to do that).

But, now came the toughest part of the whole; people who know me said after doing B.tech don’t go for HR & more over it’s a female job --- I had to make them understand it’s not like that at all; people who don’t know me---I had to prove them that I’m not taking Finance not because I can’t handle it but, I love HR.


That’s not all but, a trailer of the whole movie which is yet to be released. If you want to know more you’ve to contact and meet the actor & that’s me. I can assure you this movie will break all the box-office records & if you want to produce it you are always welcome.
