Hello Friends,
Its been a long-time gap from my 1st blog to this current one.
I have had the priveledge to work and analyse the structure and method of how capital markets work. Being a finance student, I love numbers a lot (The secret to this passion has been my childhood fantasy and dream to become an Astronomer💓😊)
I have seen how human minds and its behaviour are charted and prediction of targets for specific calls can be given. I was, however, not happy with the Capitalist Mind-set applied in any Financial Markets. Any up-turns or down-turns were mere number - games and the Impact of two Major factors that govern any facet of life today : GREED and FEAR
I worked for about 11 years in the Capital markets. I had no knowledge of working of the markets. I only knew the markets through Economic Times Newspaper (which my uncle, my mentor, inculcated the habit to read to improve English and explore my affinity to world of Numbers)
I started my career by joining a small trading firm, where I saw how traditionl investors mind-set works. My decision to start with a small firm, but with Pvt. HNIs, was good at that time. I got to learn from scratch from trading screens to trading to attending calls to front-end excitements to Back-end Accounting and Billing etc.
Like my parents and their peer group would have had their own share of struggles. I had my own in 90s. With the advent of the IT sector boom, I still was caught unaware of the various technological advancements around me. Such was our mindsets that time. However, our Junior batches, that time were more intellectually smart and enterprising. I am from the Timid and Modern - Conservative School of Thought. The changes in human values, emotions, time for family, time for work, lifestyle, herd mentality from saving money to chasing money and value for money, were the striking features in my career-journey.
Well, belonging to the so-called Vaniya / baniya community, I developed unknowingly the affinity towards finance, balance sheets, profit & loss, etc. As, I am also a strong Believer in God and Humanitarian by nature, I sometimes pondered, my mismatch of interest of career and lifestyle. I saw that in my times, the female staff in finanical markets' companies were very few. I have always been a Tom-Boy by nature. I found my place very well in the Dynamic World of Financial Markets.
In my initial career life, I had to go through lots of learnings, mistakes, However, I understood the way I could survive in such stressful Commercial world of Targets, deadlines, Money, Dynamism, etc. I had my basic priorities of my life set, so decision-making was not so difficult. I understood soon, to keep my Professional life and personal life different. I have committed some hasty decisions, which no person, at their start of career would do. But I had made up my mind before only, that I would not compromise my conscience, my Principles, my Priorities for the sake of MONEY, CAREER, PROMOTIONS.
It was indeed a tough and courageous decision for a female to take at that time and stand in front of giant corporate companies, Management, policies, internal peer-politics, etc. But as earlier mentioned, I had found out the way to survive in such conditions. I may have forgone a lot of perks, promotions in that way, but I never had a sleepless night or guilty conscience at the end of any given day.
Well, after marriage, I took a break from working in corporate set -up. I wanted to enjoy and live my married life to the fullest. This decision also was a courageous one to take at the growing phase of my Career. My priority was set to pursue spiritualism, be complementing to my home-chores and also in my husband's Medical work.
Then I learnt the Concept of "Aavartansheel - ArthaShaashtra". Wow, this blew my mind and shook - up my myths, my learnings in my Financial Management courses, the basics of economics taught today.
Today, I have the priveledge to balance my career-life, family life and my spiritual life due to continuous Self-introspection, wonderful people around for guidance. My current and future work revolves and would revolve around my life-goals, financial goals based on the concept of Cyclical - Finance System. It is not easy, but not impossible. Its a matter of like-minded people to join hands and pursue the goals together.
COMING SOON WITH THE NICHOD (EXCERPTS) OF MY SHORT LIFE TILL NOW !!!!
