Days, weeks and now months ..sorry for the delay. Last post was months ago. Call it "Job ke side effects", and especially if an I-Bank (albeit an KPO) then god bless you. It took me one sleepless night to finally contemplate coz Friday is the day when you have the liberty to contemplate on a surety of a long weekend waiting for you.
A dear friend of mine posted a very nice video from RDB, in which Aamir describes his life to Gulaboo the firangi, and one special line real strikes your chord when he says that, "Campus ke andar hum duniya ko nachate the and campus ke bahar duniya humko nachati hai". HOW TRUE. It is only when you go through the grind that you realise the importance of the statement.
The normal day for me is waking up late at 9 pm normally (yes i have changed now...i go late to sleep and wake up late...i am getting normal...WASI will love this) then making a mad rush to reach office and in the process take a shower, munch something and hit for the cab. The moment you step in the office,a plethora of activities awaits you and then starts the litany. Yes litany indeed because of the sheer monotony. The best part of the day is when you get time to hit the gym, it gives you some time to unwind and take some focus off your work. The end of the day is usually a mad dash to finish off the work, and hope to catch an early cab. In between i forgot to mention about the food. For a city which boasts of such a good cuisine unfortunately we cattle class I-Bankers are served with the most shitty meal. Come back home, if early cook something and then gradually doze off, and another morning awaits you like your nagging girlfriend (cliche).
Main points to be pondered over here, what about your near and dear ones. Is your coveted job, alienating you from them. In a way i think it is.
So I am an MBA now. The big question is "How valuable is it". The most valuable result of all education till date is the ability to make yourself do things which you have never done, do it at the time when you don't want to do it and most important do it whether you like it or not.....in short....learn to live with your job....
Love to end tonight with words of Lord Byron which lingers in my mind in this invading silence...
.There is a pleasure in the pathless woods
There is a rapture on the lonely shore
There is a society, where none intrudes
By the deep sea, and the music in its roar
I love not man the less, but nature more......
I need a break.....
