Grateful to my teacher and classmates in 2006 who mocked me publicly for my stammering.
Grateful to the teacher who laughed at me when I didn't get a college via JEE.
Grateful to the interviewers who gave me my first job from campus.
Grateful to the customer who denied meeting me as I was late by 1 minute. I deserved it.
Grateful to the senior colleague who asked me to dress up well for work meetings. It lifted my sales career.
Grateful to the recruiter, managers who took a chance at me even after a 2 year break.
Grateful to the vengeful manager who wanted to get rid of me and shifted me to a new team. This spurned my 5X growth in 3 years.
Grateful to my last manager in my last company. It was difficult in every sense. But it was well worth it.
And finally, I'm grateful to my family. It is on the pillars of their prayers and wishes that I stand today.
