my Pride. my Inspiration.

While mere mortals like me sit here dreaming, bickering, losing track and focus and direction and what else not, super amazing, ultra talented and driven people, such as my former classmate and current inspiration, Susha Soman, are out there making real journalism.

Here's the link to her first and absolutely stunning work 'on air' on CNN IBN.

Orange!

I promised myself that this year would be about taking on new challenges. Facing my fears. Expanding my capabilities. Overcoming my shortcomings.

And most importantly taking up challenges I conveniently avoided. Until NOW.

So here I was before the Orange outlet. Soaking in the vibrancy of the colour. More so the people. The technology. The care, attention, precision and legality it demands.

This was also a bid to overcome and totally get rid of my recently acquired shyness and inhibition and my, I won't exactly say, lack of confidence, rather my predisposition to just hold myself back so as to avoid embarrassment and a preference for going unnoticed rather than attracting too much attention.

Coming out of my 'Comfort Zone', so to speak, in 'Self Help' terms.

Anyway, my first day as a sales advisor. A lot to take in.

New people. New environment. Totally new and unfamiliar gadgets. Newer customers. All hopefully befriended. Some realistically.

A new beginning.

An admission of ignorance.

But, also, a willingness to learn.
