This is a post going to be written in two parts. So like most movies, this one will have a sequel to it. These two posts, in sequential order are going to be the before ‘n after recaps of two phases of my life. I usually don’t like to be trapped in stereotypes but the idea of phases is giving me enough interest to pen down this post. The first one, which is this, pertains to the listing of emotions, incidences, people and notions I deal with now before I join my first ever employer-Deloitte U.S. The one that’ll follow this would be the episode of how life is at work.
That’s a lot of build-up before the main body, and therefore I begin.
Life as I know it has always been a mixture of mixtures. When there has been pain, it always knew a remedy. When there was joy, it always knew whom to share it wid. When there was nothing, it created something. Life has shown its shades and it has not changed. It’s kept me a peaceful, happy, spirited soul in almost all realities of living. Wiser I have become with every note. The learner that I’ am I’ve learnt certain things and have keyed them in my system.
My folks have always been the guide any astray requires. Not that I’ve been astray. Just they have been a guide. My friends, the real ones have always found a way to me even when I pretended to look the other way. I in turn have kept them closely in my thoughts and prayers, not mentioning my inability to articulate my love to them. My teachers, at school and post-graduation have been encouraging souls. There were some in school which did the opposite, and I so thank them now for being such devils. I learnt my tough lessons in life because at some point I thought I was completely useless. They made me experience the difference, the lift from being the nominal, to the good to the adorable. I mention my teachers because whether we acknowledge or not teachers have a part to play and in the same breath I skip the reference of my graduation teachers because they were just designations.
It’s Lailla this summer, who’s hit the city I’ll be in, in a weeks time. Like all mad storms its playing havoc at the coasts, while the interior of cities enjoying the relief from the globally warmed up super destructive rays. My journey from my birthplace and hometown-Chandigarh, to my post graduation place-Pune, to the place of my first job-Hyderabad has been a treasure. A gold pot of people, memories, learning and experiences which make the insides of me. Now as I look forward to a relatively new experience at work I wish all good forces be with me and I make my way shine through.
I’d like to mention at this juncture my wish to stay independent and get the feel of managing a household and a job all in a days time, every single day, jostling with all the work, eats, keeping fit, keeping in touch with important people in life, some space for my musings and a huge time crunch. This however looks meekly possible as my parents are posting in at Hyderabad too. And I’m happy. The more the merrier. The wish could wait for some time.
Also, now as receive calls from my employer, discussing joining details, that feeling of getting in the corporate world entices me. I so wanted this and it’s finally happening. I believe in “The Secret” and I know my life will take me in a direction and on a further journey filled with happiness and health, joy and wealth! ;) Accompanied with love at all times. Something as important as oxygen to me.
This more or less completes what I had to say before I start the next phase. Till then I wish all my readers(if any, but I’ am an optimist) a life they cherish and enjoy like they would their favorite meals. Be all the good be with you.
Amen.
