My blog is very close to my heart. And I use to write it for myself. Its my compendium of memories....
How can this cheerful memories be complete without cheerful peoples of my life???...I wanted to share the valiant story of rags to riches of one such person very close to my heart..."HETAL GOHEL"
It was somewhere in Aug 2007 I met with Hetal for the first time. I still distinctly remember my first meet with him at some eating "dhaba" in Ahmedabad. His small town upbringing was dripping from every consonant. A typical gujarati medium student coming from small village was evident from every gesture. I often wondered how he managed to get admission in HL-MBA?....And if at all he is in...How will he get survive? Soon I realized MBA was all about being practical, extrovert, marketing yourself and a game of communication...Hetal Gohel was from Sheth Vadala a very small village near Upleta. I am sure no one in our class would have heard this place name earlier. His struggle started itself from the village he hailed. Most of the urbane upbringings could never imagine what struggle a middle class student of rural background undergoes. Unlike every other people Hetal was not in his tender age. Completed B.Com, M.Com and wasted 2 years with some computer course in Mumbai and MBA preparation in Ahmedabad. Life in Ahmedabad was also very tough for those who do not have enough penny in their pockets. Money can'nt buy happiness but at the same time it definitely helps to attract people to remain happy.
Though there was not nothing explicitly common in us but soon our seriousness attracted and we became friends. With his simplicity and Midas touch of humour soon hetal was becoming fav amongst us. I am the witness of his struggle. I have seen him taking meal one time a day to save money, walking 2 kms fro from college, avoiding parties, sharing college books, avoiding unnecessary trips to home. It is always said perseverance always win. It is not at all important how intelligent you are or how well you have scored in exams....It is never say die attitude what wins. Hetal was simply incessant and use to say me, "we are born for struggle Kherubhai" After two years of struggle and a gloom in job market everyone would have frustrated and drop their weapons but as ever Hetal continued his struggle and manage to take job in a share market firm. With his buoyant spirit he continued to upgrade his knowledge. His quest to learn ,positive outlook, and openness to mingle with every kind of people made him successful. The above picture is of Hetal as Asst Manager in Cosmos bank Ahmedabad. Today he is Forex Manager in corporation bank Gandhidham. I consider him most successful in terms of graph of success amongst our batch-mates. Who ever could have imagined a small town gujarati boys could reach to such level who at once was fumbling to speak single line in English?
Today when some one comes to me for career consultation I always give example of Hetal and use to say its ultimately attitude decides our success. Although clueless, will to win makes us win. No matter where you come from, who you are, how smart you are or what is your background. It is the struggle what makes man successful. I am the witness of his life go through.. God definitely gives return those who word hard in their life. Its just that he doesn't share his calender with us..Man who at once found hard to hire auto rickshaw will be travelling in swanky car......Man once use to share one bed room with 5 room mates will be living in luxurious penthouse and in soft couch. Though this things do not make him successful. It is his spirit to loggerhead with situation makes him successful. Sooner or later it is one who thinks can win, wins.. Love you hetal !!! You will be always to look upon !!!
