Struggle in Everything! It was 2008 when I left my current working place in order to start my own work but despite securing my visa and work permit I was looking for a good company with whom I can work. The only reason to get a visa and work permit was to stay in Thailand. While I had my 5 years of saving with me but still, I have one liability which is to pay car EMI, for which I must pay 10,000 to 12,000 Thai Baht every month.
Today I am going to tell you how my job life was going on in Bangkok, everything seems to be so positive and happening for me. As I said in my previous chapter I finally, I got a non-immigrate visa along with a work permit and of one-year visa which I got within one month of my working only. It made me happy. Furthermore, my work was going well as I was the only person who belongs to the IT field and gave a good outstanding performance which makes them happy.
Dreams Come True
I cannot forget a date which changes my life, it was 7th Feb 2003. Today I am going to tell you how my new phase of life begins means my rebirth in Bangkok, Thailand.
This was the day when I arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, it was like a new birth of mine and I was ready to feel and experience the same. This was my lifetime dream to visit out of the country, anyhow with the reason for traveling, at last, I reached Thailand. And my flight landed at morning 6:30 am Thailand time, I was nervous and excited both simultaneously as it was my first time visiting, I already had a visa for 3 months from India but over there at the time of immigration, they only provide visas for 15 days.
Rebirth in Bangkok
Finally, Leaving India? OR Just for Travel? Actually, It was for Solo Trip.
Moving further ahead with my story, as I said in my previous chapter I had fixed my mind to go to Thailand only, and before the end of 2002 I finally started planning to go to Thailand. So the person whom I trust I started talking to them. There was an uncle of mine who was close to me and currently lives in Dehradun, he already had a trip to Thailand, so I went away to ask him about the atmosphere, work availability, etc., just to gain some confidence, as I was getting nervous to travel alone to Thailand.
At that time yahoo chatting was in trend, and use to have rooms, so until and unless the opponent doesn’t accept your request, one cannot do the chatting. I also started chatting in the Thailand room and at that time people use to be friendly and become genuine buddies with whom one can daily chat. Every day in the evening I use to go to the cafe to do chatting for a couple of hours in Dehradun.
International Solo Trip
My first trip to Agra and Jaipur First time with my friend. During this time I thought a lot about my future life. We saw the Taj Mahal and Enjoyed forts in Jaipur.
An immense mausoleum of white marble, built in Agra between 1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, the Taj Mahal is the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage
My entrepreneurship journey started after a failure in 2001 from Dehradun. When the dot com burst and no jobs in the market.
My USA dreams were shattered in Bangalore in 2001. The course I was taking before studying was a fraud, they locked the company and run away from that place.
Now my Bangalore journey was above to start after Kanpur. As I mentioned in my previous chapter that my contract got over and have to leave the job, so whatever amount I have saved (approx. 80000 INR) I went to Bangalore with that in search of a new job, which was an IT hub. For once, I had already visited Bangalore so I know how the place was, this was a time to find a job. I reached Bangalore and was staying at my friend’s brother’s place.
For the first time, I realized how exactly one stays with students and felt that stuff because I never lived a hostel life and always lived with my family only. It was a totally different experience for me living with students as the way they use to talk, eat, hang out, etc. kind of stress-free life. I was the elder one amongst them as they all were studying. Three to four students were staying together so I thought that I will stay for a month till I got my job, then I will move to some other place once I get the job. The way I had started my life in Kanpur, in the same way, I will do my fresh start in Bangalore. Every morning I use to prepare breakfast for everyone as I was living there without rent so this much I can do for them. After that, I get fresh and up and went in search of a job as I use to have certain companies address with me
USA Dreams
Now, I am moving ahead with my autobiography, as I previously said that in the year 2000, I don’t have a job and was looking for it. My struggling period was going on again, lots of stuff was happening in my life along with my studies. I have degrees but no job in my hands, during that phase of my life, a thought came into my mind that I should go out of India, I had this thought in my mind since I was pursuing a computer course.
I don’t have much confidence at that time and there was no passport, and my education was also not completed. I hold no certification, I was unable to speak English nor even hold any corporate base experience letter. So in short thinking about all this, I use to think that I won’t be able to go out of the country and the second thing was that from within I had a feeling that I don’t want to go out of India. Many people use to advise me that I should go to Delhi, Mumbai, etc. place to get a good job and there was nothing in Dehradun, as at that time I use to stay in Dehradun. I don’t know why I never get attracted to Delhi and Mumbai, all I use to think was I will stay at Dehradun or will go out of Dehradun but not Delhi/Mumbai.
Trying Hard
This is all about the year 1999 when I was pursuing my MBA along with M.com. My MBA University was far away from the city around 5-6 kilometers distance. Now, it was getting tough and time-consuming to go on a bicycle, so I decided to buy a motorbike, during that time Hero Honda was more popular. I thought to buy the bike on loan for 2-3 years of loan time and I can arrange the EMI amount of 1000 INR easily. Actually, this was also my dream to buy a motorbike, my motorbike was black in color.
