Exchange with a friend:
F: PG is such a huge part of your life, is there life or an identity for you beyond PG?
Me: mumble mumble
After the exchange I did wonder if I really thought of anything other than PG (food doesn’t count) since I am back from the US – MBA & all. I think I am lucky. I have something on my mind all the time – its either dreams, worries or just the sheer happiness of managing something as beautiful as PG.
Like a baby that has grown healthier & is growing fast – I am realizing how fast I need to let go of things at PG to ensure its own growth. At last count there are 15 folks working at the HQ and the number will be doubling in the next couple of months.
Every waking moment, I think about what to do better at PG, who else to hire, how else to do things better, how to manage the resource crunch and yes .. the ever elusive question of ‘where is all this heading’.
I do wonder if I have a separate identity beyond PG, but honestly I am not sure I care. I consider myself lucky that I get to do the things I do, touch the lives I can, help build a beautiful workplace, help people make their educational choices, work with world class folks and continue to dream.
F: Do you like the way the world is?
Me: No
<brief pause>
Me: I have PG.

We need many more Killer products from you PG, can we have something for poor MBA grads now?

can PGHQ survive a tornado of thoughts and hence a tsunami of action?
see you soon for that.
