It’s been a year and a month since homecoming from the land of desserts. As I take a break from the mind-sapping work chores, I am thinking of the top three things that happened in this fluid whip of time:
A sea of change
No broken bones but heart-burns for sure
‘Life can be a bitch at times’ J
The solitude I enjoyed and repented at times was progressively transformed when I came down to home-sweet-home. My first car, loads of friends, sport, active lifestyle, good food and what more do you need! Typical of a guy, I always sensed something was missing in my life and the hunt is still on to scoop the missing piece of the puzzle. Can it be my long-term aspiration of doing my PG in a far-off place from home? Can’t deny the fact though, as it’s more of a pragmatic belief than an idealistic one.
The passion in revelry that many possess hit me full blow when I saw life unfold its folds of thrill before my own eyes and I felt what it was to be at a place sans enjoyment, depleting my three years of youthful life. As the past is not present, the future is non-existent; I focused on living for the moment. The flavors of Chennai wistfully bound me to fall in love with this city and I continued to chug along in life with full steam, having no worries in life. Dependable friends which turned sour down the way and so many untold lessons learnt in a short span of time made me introspect deep within me and realize the true potential of the ‘sole-me’. Never have I given a distress call, while a storm was brewing in me although I relied on true friends for life for the much needed support.
So naïve in life and multiple shark bites has led me to be a changed person, courtesy my long standing friend. I cannot deny the fact that, I got a taste of my own medicine; believe me it tasted so pathetic, and that I ran out to overcome this small uphill in full chivalry. Let me not make this post sound too depressing while I always laugh out my worries creasing my forehead.
I ran a ‘spend-analyzer’ on my income generated after coming to Chennai, of which I really don’t want to share the results hereJ. I want to make a point to all those reading the post, that identify areas of high spending and try to cut that by 5.0 percent on a monthly basis, unless its direly necessary. This is a simple application of ‘kaizen’ on your day to day life. At the end, it’s more of a healthy bank balance and a prevailing sense of security.
All said in a positive note, I promised myself to delve into work and keep watching this space, for I am planning to write more on my trips and people who caused a change in me for sure!
