Being there to somewhere.. Life Surprises(11)


"Change is inevitable". Well, this has never been my favourite quote, but I think, it is something I usually say, especially when I know that I cannot opposite a compulsory turn my life is heading towards.
Like many of us, even I have Tropophobia or the fear of moving or trying a change. When I thought that joining corporate world will change my life for good, the fear of leaving my folks used to decelerate the generation of positivity. My mind used to procrastinate my decisions as I could virtually calculate the costs in getting the salary benefits.
I knew I had to stay away from home, but I never predicted that July 1, 2010 will bring about a permanent change, that is my departure from the family as to regular member to a weekender. No wonder, how many leaves I would take, my family's home had become more of a guest house than a residence. It had got nothing to do with the affection and love of parents, just that I had two houses to stay and my attention certainly got divided. Saturday became a favourite day and home became my favourite restaurant. I am a guy too obsessed with the routine, so this change never came across to me as a delight. I would often miss the occasions, weddings and ceremonies on the weekends as to drive those 125 kms to home.
I had completed a year in the work place and the new Ankitt has had the following attributes:
-  Post the initial jittery, people were appearing familiar and I was happy to be in the numbers, playing in the Microsoft playground.
-  I was in so happy to screw myself by reminding the bank about the recovery of my education loan :-)
-  I started loving my work and I would often applaud myself for not having time to take calls. I would be happy to confess that I used to love avoiding calls of the folks now:)
-  I would often sit till late in the office as the company used to offer snacks that time:)
-  I was happy with the recognition and therefore I had more milestones set for me.
-  I never estimated my repaying capacity, bought a car and would spend decent amount of my salary in the fuel, and the money squeezing machine called CREDIT CARD.
This was a side that I used enjoy and probably something that used to keep me busy. Being busy was not a darling choice for me, but it was my deliberate attempt towards an important preparation. Nidhi and I were almost out of touch now. We had friends in common and that was the only thing we were sharing now. Our decision to go with the parent's choice had some hard effects on me, and my busy routine used to fade those marks. Had I been free of work, I would not have let myself focus on the things I looked forward to.

Love Ankitt

Give reasons to smile :-)

Everyone in his life has a wrap of worries and concerns, Someone is worried for his career, someone has a family related issue, lot many are strucked in business, few are just too busy with the tension of studies, a lot many are busy with the tensions in friendship and amongst the friends... In my opinion, giving others a reason to worry is an easy task, it takes just fw minutes to hurt anyone, slap him, hit him, say him something undesired, it'll solve the purpose... but for spreading smiles something extra needs to be done.. it is difficult to manage tears than to bring them from someone's eyes. its too difficult to make others laugh from the heart... Looking at few of my peers ( not my close ones frm instt) , i find ppl changin for their parents, why do we tend to forget them ? when we grow? , why our friends become more important in a way tht they take a pie from the share of our moms and dads.. how many times do we think before saying a lie to our moms and dads. Hw do we ...

CRYSYS... The US Meltdown...

Pick out any news paper of today, i guess we have around 65000 newspapers that are registered.... The headline for today is Financial CRISIS... Our country is being affected by the global crisis, that have started from US's sub prime loan issues...  Well , its no surprise , if u look at the following few points.. you'll get an idea on the reasons: Most of our exports in the US, if they go down,we need to bear We have ample of foreign reserves in dollars, any change in their economy has a direct impact on ours. Many of our financial institutions have a connection with the investment bankers of US and  Europe, The prob of foreign exposure can be seen. Our Indian Stock market is very sensitive to information and sentiments, we are just followin the trend. The US is slowing down significantly and the US investors are at risk. That is something, which is a serious problem. If you look at market behavior, over the last 10-15 years, whenever the Fed cut rates, it has normally been goo...

PART 4 Related Parts:  PART 10   PART 9  PART 8  PART 7  PART 6   PART 5   PART 4   PART 3   PART 2   PART 1 With the post-graduation stepping into my life, the fear of being grown up kept rolling my mind. The exams and pattern of studies, although, had no fundamental change, but the pressure of higher studies had a superior space. Not that studies changed, neither were we getting scanned in the rule of autocratic professors, my mind had an urgency, an urge to just get into earning mode. The thought was to get whopping first salary of 2.26 lacs pm and do away with education loan :-) (Obviously Reliance Adag's campaign induced me to think bigger and better).
