Think beyond obvious

"When people thought I am having a job, I longed for a career. When people thought I was opening a shop, I wanted to own a business. And when people thought I can teach I want to be a mentor..."

Testimonials

In times when the sun will set will follow my heart some path, carved foots in the golden sands of those who led to shore. they will be gone far away by then but the search never ends in rays, Some people spark away your life and we forget to thanks. will search till sun lasts and rays die of light but shall i not loose myself ...in sands or shores that taketh me away from you, but then i forget the sky is dark and stars are seen from land. -our star Nadeem sir (from all the nims students) Happy birthday sir! - (Mahesh Ambaliya, my student. has written this poem)
its the first time i am writing a testimonial for a professor of mine.well am not sure if i am qualified to write one but still trying. i was speculative when i joined my MBA unsure of the times i may have ahead but everything changed when i attended his class. i had missed a few classes earlier but his was the first class i attended in the course. As times went by i was amazed by his teaching technique. The way he takes the marketing lessons and the way he involves the students in the classes. Stays back to clarify doubts however small it may be and shares his experiences to justify his points. Its a tough time when he gives assignments but once you get through with it, it becomes interesting and we end up wanting more assignments. The best part is the conversations and debates i have with this very person. He has guided me when ever i had doubts. I constant motivator and a person who i look up to. In short if students are sheeps he is the best sheperd in town :) - (Vivek Menon my student)
***If you are looking for a friend whom you can reliy on anytime and whom you can trust with your own life, then you don't need to look further - Nadeem has proved to be one for me...Rare, very rare - they should put him in endangered speciies list....(Jamaluddin Khiljee)
***Jafri Nadeem-Well what can I say? Don't go by the exteriors, they might fail to insinuate even a clue to what the real Nadeem is all about. Beneath the rugged corporate exteriors and no-nonense attitude towards every aspect of life, there lies a soft and loving person who's always there at his best to help people around him, irrespective of any gain or manipulation. But then arent we all like that in today's world. Something on the exterior and blending to the beats of the commercial world, but something else inside. More than true for us, it is perfect for this gentleman Nadeem. I've had my pick of tough times with him working with him in Grey Worldwide, but I've also discovered the sensitive and the more helpful side of him as I've gone further. A true analyst and marketing professional to the core, this guy's a gem of a person, granting that inevitable trustability and shoulder to lean upon, in each friendship. Best to him always.

***Nadeem sir.............well difficult to describe in words.But he is very noble human being and great teacher/mentor/guide.he has helped me a lot...........well nothing more to say...Hats Off sir! -- (Arpit Raval)
***writing a testimonial about him is like throwing some light on the Sun. Sheer Persistence, hard work and a will to perform have helped him to achieve his desired goal in his life. Always a go-getter ever smiling with an hint of naughtiness you simply cannot ignore him. His real likfe journey on his dearest ventury Hearty Mart is a very big success story and which has really become the talk of the town. Kudos to his zeal and we pray to to Lord to grant him more success in his days to come....(Venkatesh B Iyer)
***Nadim Sir.....................ur a great man....it's difficult for me to describe you in one word...But i just want to say one thing about you,,,.ur a good human being...U always helps us as a teacher/friend and like a parents...thanks god --- (Hemant Singh)

• Those who joyfully leave everything in God’s hand will eventually see God’s hand in everything. Worries end where faith begins.
• Great people build monuments from the stones that their critics throw at them
• Some of the best moments in life are so simple. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside, thinking about the person you love, taking a long drive on a calm road. Talking on the phone for hours. Finding money in your old jeans just when you needed. Holding hands with that someone special. Getting a hug from someone you love, the moment your eyes are filled with tears after a big laugh, and a moment when you achieve your goals
• A moment of patience in a moment of anger can help you avoid a thousand moments of sorrow. Be a great listener and always think well before you react
• Happiness is the delicate balance of what one is and what one has. It is the inner joy that can be sought or caught, but never taught or bought.
