GREECE HAPPY!

 

 

Jeetu looked at his watch briefly. He always longed for a limited edition piece. But for now, time was becoming a limited edition element in his life.

 

At 27, he was doing decent according to many. Just not for himself as much though.

Jeetu was full of ideas and possibilities. Indian sciences hinted a strong connection between people and their names. Jeetu meant victory. And Jeetu was working hard to celebrate victory by quickly crossing the bridge that stood between his reality and his dreams. Quickly. However precisely.

And today, suddenly the bridge looked more inviting than before. Between Jeetu and the far off land called Greece.

The percentage of haemoglobin in blood is equally proportional to the percentage of stock market understanding in a Gujarati Jain's mind. And Jeetu was Jeetu Shah!

He was hoping for returns worth a trip to Goa. But a talk with his broker that morning had called for an immediate break off with Goa. And a quick fling with Greece.
Jeetu had to take a quick call. Buy or Hold Greece for another time.

Buy had its risks. A gujarati simple boy packs his bags and lands in Greece! Parents wouldnt like the idea. Girlfriend will oppose. Friends will say nothing but jealousy will find its quirky way. And relatives along with neighbours would doubt his humble earnings immediately.

Sometimes strangers are the best things in life Jeetu concluded.

His mind analysed the risks of Buy and the pendulum began to swing towards a Hold Greece call. Rather sadly.

Suddenly the risk of Hold blinded him with a much bright strong light. Here he encountered a risk of the most dangerous form. And this risk could loom around his life for a very long time.
Hold held the risk of putting Jeetu's dreams on Hold. And giving a chance to Loss, which was a direct opposite to his identity. All in all, Hold Greece could lead to a dead end to a lot of unseen roads that Jeetu had wished to see for a very long time now. He never spoke much but read a lot. Sindbad and Columbus had a special place in his childhood memories.

Jeetu left office feeling heart heavy. As he walked towards the nearest public transport he could find on that not so bright evening, he gave the road a long look through his dark squarish spectacles and caught sight of a hoarding of Emirates that read bold-

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Next evening as the sun set a bright orange, Jeetu Shah, the humble gujarati young boy smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. He walked into the Departure Door of the city's International airport. For his first international trip.

Jeetu had chosen Greece and his dreams. That was a first. And from then om everytime.

 

 

 

Happiness has been his companion ever since!
