Sudarshan sir is one person who has definitely experienced every phase of a job and can guide you from whichever stage you are in your life. This was not just a mentorship session, it was also a session on the best way to deal with ups and downs in your career. I would even like to call it Job 101.
How do you excel in life? While skills are important, it is equally important to understand the mindset that one is supposed to have. He understood each and every part of my problem, dissected it, and rather than giving just random advice out of the blue, gave me points that were actually required and directed towards my life.
And that is the importance of this session. He clearly understands where you are coming from. Even if you tell him something here and there, he understands your expectations and what you will get. He does not mince his words, but is a very kind person and also very good to have as a buddy. Great vibes.
Here is to a great mentor and a friend that I found.
