I was not a born gimmick. No one is.
\nBut nurturing is a wonderful process, it can make an animal behave like a human being and I promise it is vice versa too. It\u2019s all in the nurturing.<\/p>\n
My parents, teachers, family and friends together inculcated some values in my growing process which set me on a platform like never before. I knew then, how to grow \u2013 myself.
\nThe day had arrived when I set out to make a career<\/p>\n
The logistics industry, here in Mumbai and the world as a whole, welcomed me with open arms. I closely observed how they worked and behaved. It was strange but I still liked it. They had begun nurturing me to be one with them.<\/p>\n
Each day, they told me:<\/p>\n
Forget your primary, secondary and tertiary education
\nThat life and death have a deep relation
\nForget that two and two is four.
\nThat a little less is a little more
\nForget that price of purchase is less than sale
\nThat honesty is not as good as telling a false tale<\/p>\n
I remembered all my past years
\nThe years when the entire education I received
\nWas but a gift of cheat and deceit
\nI cursed my teachers and parents alike
\nFor telling me that a bike is a bike<\/p>\n
So here I am today
\nMe a part of you and you a part of me
\nAll the honing you gave
\nFor that I bow to Thee
\nOh world of logistics, salutations to you
\nGimmicks are what I now know and A Gimmick is all I can be!<\/p>\n
So then now tell me, how to kill an industry?<\/p>\n
