Prayers being Answered

Hello again, Sam here!

It's all happening - everything everywhere all at once. From almost giving up on everything to getting things I prayed and manifested once. Life's been too rewarding in recent days, all the manifestations are coming into light.

Lets dive deep into what's really been happening in year 2026 till now including some back story of my family :)

This year started with fresh mindset aiming to clear my exams in month of January then searching out jobs. I was pretty confident with me clearing my last exam with full confidence but but if you some what have read about my life thru my blogs at the verge of every fulfilment there has been a diversion. The moment everything seems fine life has shown me a setback. Same happened I failed by 2 marks :( . Since these are UK based exams ,results come late at night - I don't sleep entire night and wait for morning 4.30 am and due to DST this time it was 5.30am. Imagine yourself in this situation, you gave your last examination - your paper went well - you told everyone you are clearing this time - you are excited for results - you don't sleep on the result day being awake until 5.30 am. And when you get to see that results - your entire effort vanishes within your eyes, all your future plans are just like thin air - you literally go blank.

 I honestly had no words. I was as good as dead that day. As I had left my previous job in dec in hope that I would pass and make a fortune. After results it all felt like I played a gamble :(

But my family and friends were confident that my efforts were genuine and that I would be able to clear next time. The next night - my friends called me to just chit-chat. I strongly denied stating I don't have mood/not feeling good but they were hesitant and took me out for late night round around shivaji park. Somehow that felt relaxing, helped me move on a little bit.

(I believe that I'm lucky enough to be surrounded with people who have always stood up for me when things didn't work out well. Indeed very grateful and gratitude for that. These all might sound filmy but trust me when life feels void you need that people around who make you realise your strengths :)

Moving on,

I buckled up quickly, with some decisions. I took classes with top faculty - started studying and side by side was looking for job. Job search wasn't going well and my next exam date came closer. So quit job search focused solely on exams and . Gave my exam with intense preparation and this time was fully confident.

After exams, went in for job search and side by side experimented with AI (built 2 apps by my own - you can view that from my bio on instagram). Updated my resume with AI's help. Literally, Applied at 1000's of jobs still wasn't getting good offers. There were only 2 weeks left for result so I thought of waiting and then suddenly I got a call from recruiter that there's an opening at JP Morgan Chase & Co. are you interested? It would be a contract role said the recruiter. I instantly said yes works for me! Obviously who wouldn't want to work for JPMC? Then suddenly no reply, I called him back few times he didn't respond. In my head I went like its done - offer is gone. But some time later he called back and said sorry sameer we can't go with your resume since you don't have UAN (for PF purpose). I replied to him I understand but can you please try for once he said okay I will call you back.  I again felt in my mind even this time fortune took a uturn :(. Eventually the interview happened - I got my offer letter 2 weeks before my result date. I was very happy on that cause, JPMC is that company even if contract - people for once want to be in that company. And me who had no hopes from job market landed there from no where!

Now although job was sorted for some period but the main reason behind that job delay was getting that degree. Finally the result day arrived, no sleep night - the clock turned 4.30 am (which was 00:00 Uk time) - scrolling my email for that one inbox mail of ACCA. I came near my home mandir - stood infront - opened that email. And it was written PASS!!

Instantly went to my dad - to tell him, to my surprise he was awake, went towards him and hugged him - all this was happening at 4.40 am in the morning>>

That sigh of breath relieved by me and my family cannot be explained in words, all the efforts made sense - sleepless nights, literally hours and hours spent in library grinding more than 9-10 hours, sacrificing on occasions/gathering, tackling self-doubt, overthinking and much more.

Next week - post result was my birthday. Turned 24!! Celebrated 2 days to the core (spent close to 20k :__) with my best people - Family and Friends!

Now, let me tell you the backstory of my family which I mentioned earlier!

My parents came to Mumbai in 2005. Dad had a small computer business in his home-town (Bhiwandi) - he somehow passed out engineering with little financial help from his friends.

The business slowly ran down the lane - it was shutdown. He had no job in his hand. My mother then decided to move into Mumbai and settle near my grandmother's home. I was barely 3 years old and sister was around 5 years. They came with hope to live in what is supposedly "City of Dreams" but life doesn't work that easy and Mumbai humbles you very nicely. Both my parents started working and our granny used to take care of us. I still remember back in the day when we used to live in those tiny rooms - 120sqft odd or less than that. The financial burden, family disputes and much more we have seen from our childhood. Slowly and gradually with little savings which they had including selling of all the gold my mother had ,my parents bought a new home near by granny's place (the place where we reside currently, it's a decent 1 RK). The struggle had just begun, however they always invested in our education with best of the best resources they can provide. Since they believed that education is something which is vital for our growth and future.

Pausing this backstory here, may be will continue in another blog.

As of today, Me and my sister have some-what achieved what we had aimed for. She became a doctor and I became an ACCA. We justify the proverb "Health is Wealth"

Now, when we look back - life came a full circle. The seed which was planted way back in the form of education by them, are being fruitful finally. Although its just the beginning but looking at my parents with what they had gone thru in their past, literally rising from nothing is what makes us believe that "No matter what situation in life you are currently, you can always rise from nothing if you believe in your hard-work and consistently work towards achieving your dreams - You can achieve almost anything"

Lastly, I shared my backstory not for pity or anything like that but I believe we all are in a way entangled in some or other problems in our life, figuring out the best plausible solution to move ahead. Life can be cruel - I say this cause when I hear some of my friends back-story what they had gone thru or going currently - I would not have survived in such situations. But they are! silently, patiently fighting those battles to achieve something bigger and better for themselves and most importantly their family. Wish them the best!

I conclude this blog by quoting Naval Ravikant.

"You can almost get anything you want out of life, as long as it's the one thing and you want it far more than anything else"

Thank you for reading till here!!.

I hope you get all the success you deserve in your life :)

Bye,

Sam
