another culture

no matter how much you read or how much you see on the TV about another country, you will never get the feeling of actually going to another country and experiencing a different culture. Nigerians are ranked the most happiest people in the world. though this country has many positives, it is the negatives that few people commit, which over shadows all the positives.

watching the international news channels from this country, for me, India seems to be in a messier situation than Nigeria.

Okada in Nigeria

Every country has something unique to themselves. Nigeria has Okada. In India we have 3 wheelers plying the roads as Taxi carrying people to their destination for a small charge.

Here in Nigeria, there are 2 wheelers, which are used as Taxi. You have 2 wheeler taxi (called Okada) stand at different places in the city. You will find anywhere from 5 to 50 of them waiting for customers.

my Father

this one is for my father. one person who let me "live", though in many ways, in my early days i was a failure. he was never critical but always supported me for any request i had towards improvement. the most important quality he had was to tell me, "Son, you know, that what you are going to do now is very difficult and that very few, or probably just one person out there wins. you are trying among many out there. just remember that, it is ok to fail. dont worry." my father always told me this every time, in fact literally before every test that i have given, every competition that i have taken part in, every difficult situation that i had chosen to go through, every single time, my father has reminded me of this: "it is ok to fail; dont worry."

i just saw the movie, "Taare Zameen Par" and i was wondering, how similar my dad was to Nikumbh. had it not been for my father i would have been like Ishan, if Nikumb would not have come along.

Thank you Dad !!

Nigeria

On June 25, 2008, morning at 5 am, my Qatar Airways flight took off to Doha. My plane was racing against the break of dawn as it took close to 2 hours for the Sun to appear. That is when I realised that i was flying away from the sunrise - towards west.

My next flight from Doha was immediately after I landed in the Airport - within 20 minutes. In the flight more than 95% of the occupants were from Nigeria. Thus though I had not reached Nigeria, geographically, I was already there.

I landed at the air port in Lagos, Nigeria on the same day at 5 pm local time (9:30 pm IST) and I was promptly taken to the company guest house.

First time out of India !!

ICICI Lombard

Though I had the capability, it is ICICI Lombard that gave me the platform, rather demanded from me to utilise all my capabilities and perform to my best abilities. I have written about my experience in ICICI Lombard in detail in this article: http://thomasrekha.blogspot.com/2007/11/change.html Please also find my farewell mail that I sent on the penultimate day in ICICI Lombard:

It is my turn now. Been in the system for over 20 months and did cherish every single moment during this time. Let me take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you, especially the BSG and CS Team for facilitating all the achievements that came my way. Trivandrum M1 was doing an average booking of 7 lakhs net premium, when I joined the system and we together, more than tripled it to a range of over 25 lakhs every month. It was a dream to beat the other locations like Kottayam, Calicut and Cochin. We had overtaken Kottayam and Calicut very soon and Cochin had seemed to be a far fetched dream. But with all your self less support, even that was made possible. It was a pleasant surprise for me that last month Trivandrum M1 had booked over 29 lakhs, where as Cochin came second to us, by booking only around 16 lakhs.
Here is wishing Shinu all the best in taking the M1 business of Trivandrum location from strength to strength in the days to come.
Once again thank you for all the support you have extended, during my brief but memorable stint at ICICI Lombard.
