6 months & counting.

It took me a 10 days short of good six months to realize that I am just another boring employee working for one of the zillion organizations that grace the globe; basking in the glory of globalization.

Priceless experiences & countless self taught lessons are the results of being an employee who's a toddler in the job market. Longevity is my newly found interest. As a fellow said, its impossible to find inspiration daily. That point in itself can eclipse to be an inspiration. The ability to keep it going no matter what happens turns out to be the biggest motivational factor.

'The biggest joy in being a captain is the ability & efficiency in making the game move forward'. ~ Rahul Dravid.

Yes, the good old friend warned I might become like this. He warned me not to be. But necessity is the mother of everything. I too hate myself being like this but there's some insane joy that fills my heart every evening when I walk out of office. That prevails till the next morning by transforming into hangover which drags me to office again. In this way, day are turning into weeks & weeks into months. Half a year passed.

Let me tell you, you get panicked for everything in the beginning. Every long, deliberate stare from your manager worries you. Every untimely call from your boss startles you and puts you out of the sleep. That's the fear induced because of inexperience & the unending crave to be in the safe zone; to set everything straight on you end. Gradually that fear & feeling tend to disappear. After all, they have to.

It's all about balance. It's all about the ability to switch on and switch off with accurate timing. Months into work & that knowledge is what I gained and left with. You arrive at a point where you totally understand that nothing isn't that serious or life threatening. An involuntary bravery arrives in your heart.  It's all about delivering what you are supposed to; within the given time frame & just move on. When the evening clock strikes 1900 hours, you must forget who pays you.



Trust me, being devilish at work dampens longevity. Only Balance can handle it.



Soon.
