A lot has happened in the past three months.
Its been four months of my abscence in the blog world, even though there has been a lot that i wanted to share here. Irony is dat this 'lot', happening quickly in succession, itself became the reason for my becoming 'miss-no-time-for-blogging'!!
Exams got over in May...and with that our graduation too got completed. We had our share of outings with frnz, for wat seemed lik the 'one last time together'...soon everyone got busy, some in MBA some in their offices etc. I, however, was completely free, awaiting the final joining date at the company where i was placed. It was towards the end of May itself that things started hapening in quick succession.
First, this summer training offer from DTZ international dat came my way. With renovation wrk going on at home, it was impossible for the only holidaying member of the family (that was me) to take up the offer. But their offer, that came through internal reference, and my interview for the same, happened so quickly that there was no time to think. I accepted the offer to wrk with them for a month.
And it was a blessing dat i joined, for it helped me get over a weird childhood phobia, which hindered a lot of things till now and which we will not deliberate on, now:).
The experience was great, not to mention dat i got the maximum possible perormance bonus along with the fixed stipend....my first income! Plus eventful weekends after busy office schedules on weekdays is always a fun aspect of doing a job!
In the meanwhile, I lost touch wih the ongoings back home. I became completely unaware about how the renovation work was progressing! But it is really a nice experience to get back home at 9, after a day of hard work and feel rejuvenated by the mere togetherness at home. I used to purchase sweets or ice cream and the like to serve in the last course for dinner, on my way back home. Our dinner time became laughter sessions where we laughed about weird things dat happened in our offices and trust me, there always used to be many !
The renovation work suffered a lil, for we couldnt giv it the due attention. Meanwhile, for me, my relationships suffered a lot and i had lost touch with almost everyone... some being very close frnds. And this rebuilding of relatiosnhips took up all my time till now! i got back in touch with a lot of frnz from college and school. One of my closest frnds was scheduled to leave for the US for higher studies and this came as a big blow to me.
But since what has to happen cannot be helped, i spent my days writing out my thoughts on rough paper, merely to chuck them after a while and spent the evenings planning and packing for the D-day with my friend.
Oh, its hard to bid goodbye to a close frnd and tell oneself that everything will be back like before, when one knows that cant be............sigh....
So studies, work and relationships... exams, job and friendship... these formed the essence of a fast life i lived for the past four months...There was something to lose in each of them, but a lot more to gain too... Iv shared all this here bcs whatever i do in life is out of inspiration from every person iv ever interacted with. And whatever i experience is hl like throwing out as pebbles, however small and useless, in the hope of creating ripples in the sea of ideas all around me...
but now im beginning to wonder if all this wd form the essence of the whole of my remaining life... if this is all i would get caught up in doing, in this ONE life.....
seems like some more 'thoughts' are in the offing...
cya soon blog world...
cares n prayers,
