Do what you Love AND Love what you do


                        Recently we had graduated with  Master degree. To celebrate the last day of our study life, a bunch of friends decided to wear same set of Tee’s on the last day of our exam. Our intention was to have a similar design on all our tee’s –So the concept  of design was something that could relate to our Master degree course , and this tee would  be kept with us further as a memory of our course days! Now the whole concept had to be approved and liked by everyone who will be ordering for tee. Finally we came up with a design which made some friends very happy and kept some others just convinced.

                        The next task was to print this designed tees – It was a job for me and my friend to find the best place to get this done!Using  a little contacts, and taking few suggestions from many around we chose to goto a place.After having lost ourselves on wrong roads multiple times we called the number of this organization, where we got guidance to reach our destination.

                         Little hesitant and confused, thinking if we were at the right place we parked our bike infront of a small gate.There comes a young guy outside the gate asking “Are you the ones who just called few seconds back asking for direction?” We nod our head with a “yes” and he welcomes us inside. It was a small house.We entered  inside and all we could see was 10-12 computers around.Each one were sitting infront of computer,music on with headphones, few youngsters with laptop, few with cup of coffee,few were enjoying their break by playing little games.A small house converted into an office with an environment similar to that of a house.We were then introduced to a man who took care of the whole office.After listening to us,he made us meet his colleague who could help us.

                          When we explained our concept and thoughts to this guy,he replied  “I understand what you want, I don’t enjoy designing this concept,its not my cup of tea.Would you mind If I make you meet my another colleague sitting over  there at the end whose passion is such concepts.I promise he will make your design much better than what you expect from us”. – He called a guy and said “Beta,we have a concept here and you need to design as per the concept!Please listen to their concept and see if it makes you happy?If yes , take it as your work!” Me and my friend were surprised.So you actually have the liberty to choose your work, You have a choice to say a “NO” to things that you are not interested to take up and choose only those which passionates you!This guy listened to our concept and said “I would love to design this”.He quickly designed multiple designs on our concept infront of us and asked us to choose the one we liked.He actually wanted to know if we would need some modifications on the design so that he will do it for us,but trust me he had already designed the best.

                         These few lucky set of people who worked here enjoyed their work.They dint have time constraints of login and log out.They can come and finish their work anytime they would love to.A bunch of young people were given a chance to show up their creativity in designing. They were free to design what they love and their designs will make wonders.These designs would be on tee’s which would then be on sale.Designing and colouring.This office dint have boss and employee concept,instead had a concept of 'you are your own boss'.You wear what makes you feel good and confident,You come in the time you feel great to work,you design what makes you feel complete, you take a break whenever you want to,and most of all you be what you are!



                          It was a treat to talk to these set of young people,they were very happy in the place they were. They said “when you do what you love and you get paid for it,what more can you ask for in life!”
                            There is a saying – “If every day morning when you get up from bed ,you are dragging yourself to work not being happy, then it’s time to move out of your current job and get into a job that you would have always loved to do” !- Do what you love and Love what you do

  1. Good one nav..Agreed that compromise is part of life, but target shud be to achieve our goal. Modi or kalam or Rajnikant or thousands other have started with compromise or struggle but ultimate focus was always in their mind. All know what they have accomplished :-)

  2. Doing what you love is a bliss and very rarely you get to do what you love. It is a fast paced, money throbing world isn't it? :) I love people who follow their heart because I think it requires sheer guts to do it. These days I get to meet many such people, youngsters. It makes me very very happy! Good write up after a long time. That's a treat! :)
