I miss U all!!

Sometimes things happen so fast that you don’t have time to ponder as to what has happened. Leaving home for the first time in 23 years and staying away from parents and friends whom you took for granted right throughout these years, I now realize what I am actually missing. Life has taken a complete turn around, just last week I was wondering where I am heading in my career and here I am at IMT pursuing my MBA in finance. Just reliving those final days in Mumbai where I wont be going for another 2 years made me realize how much I am going to miss this city and its people. I am going to miss all my friends whom I spend so much time be it in office or anywhere else, the bitching we did, the comments we passed, talks about the future and cribbing about the present, the lanes I took to reach my office, the lanes which took me to my home, the buses I took for commuting, the night life, the fast life of the city. There are so many things which I am going to miss that 1 blog wont be enough. Change is really the only constant thing in life and the sooner 1 accepts it the better. I really don’t know what more should I write because right now Iam at complete loss of words. So here I take this opportunity to say a big thanks to all the people, my parents, people from my office, people from my community, my close pals, who have made a big difference to my life and helped me to reach where I am today. No matter how good this place will be, no matter how good friends i will be making here, one thing is for certain, Guys I am really missing you all big time!!!!.

Work-Life balance

This blog is dedicated to all those souls who suffer from compulsive disorder of over working. Well in today’s world of rat race everyone is working so hard that they sometimes forget they have a family life. Money power, position is all they have in mind, well we all do isn’t it?? We work so hard throughout the day, that by the time night comes we have no time for our family. We are ebullient in the morning and equally lethargic in the night. Office issues are bought home and sometimes because of this we start treating our own family members with utter disdain for no fault of theirs. No man on his death-bed ever said "I wish I'd spent more time in the office." Watching your child grow up, spending time with loved ones, being there at those special moments in other people's lives - all these can probably give you as much joy as a deal clinched or a market share point gained. 20 years down the line when you will be sitting in your balcony on a beautiful evening, u will remember those fights you had with your friends, the laughter you shared with them, your first kiss, your marriage day, the joy you had when you became a father/mother, and not the obnoxious comments your boss use to give you throughout the day.
"What would you do differently if you knew you had only six months to live?" We could all probably answer that one quite easily (spend more time with the family, play with the kids, take off on that vacation to the hills, write that book...). Alas, none of us really knows when precisely we have only six months to go. So guys promise yourself one thing that you will balance your life in a such a manner that your family and close friends are not neglected one bit. Remember you can change your job upteen times but not your parents because of whom you are here!!!! So go ahead and start spending time with your family and friends and enjoy the magic called LIFE!!!

Life and times at 2nd floor south tower east wing

It is said that change is only constant thing in life and that reality bites hard. When my group left the department I realized these emotions. We were group of 8 people and all boys or should I put men, and I was the youngest among them. Our daily routine involved drinking tea at 10am, going for lunch at 12:30 pm, going for snacks at 5 pm and yes we found time to work also. The fun and frolic we had was unmatched and our group was the soul of our department. It was the most affable group where none of the member had an attitude. Today when I look back at those 2 years I only smile but somewhere down the line there is a sense of grief too. It is hard to accept that Iam alone now in my cubicle and when I turn around to see who all are there I find nothing but empty seats. I am going to miss all those preposterous talks, the puerile comments and yes being the youngest I got far more attention than I desired but I am not complaining, copious advice from everyone as to how handle boss and my career. I am also going to miss how we pulled each other’s leg all the time, the feedback session and yes the drinking session which use to be convivial gathering of sorts and the bitching session we had everyday without fail. We shared our sorrows, our angst, our laughter and today I don’t have any one to share anything, seats have become empty, life is there but soul is missing, I need to move on in life and so are my other colleagues. No one knows how our life is going to shape up, some of us may move to different company, someone will head to some or the other department, some may go abroad but one thing is for sure we will always think of these 2 years as the most memorable times of our life. The ruckus is missing, the chirpiness is missing, the bitching is missing and life too is missing and now life will never be the same again at second floor south tower east wing.

P.S. South tower second floor east wing is the place where I sit in my company.
