It's certainly been a long time...again. I guess I just don't have words.
It's like I had taken time off "normal life" for these 6-7 months. And now I am soon going to find out where I stand in the real world. But no matter what the judgment, the experience has been worth it. I have learnt a lot more than I expected. And it's been an enriching time. Some may say it was somewhat like a break. It was in the sense that I didn't have as much stress about everyday stuff. But I probably worked even more than before. I definitely had more responsibilities than ever before. And yet I got a chance to explore life and be spontaneous. And some of those decisions actually paid back well. In other cases, well at least I tried and enjoyed!
I also got a chance to think a bit. The things which would have earlier affected me a lot suddenly aren't as important. Yes I can still be a baby about some small issues but I don't mind admitting what I believe in. I don't mind admitting my weaknesses. At the same time, I was able to assess my strengths.
Just when I need to work the hardest, blogging comes to my rescue like an old friend. Somehow high pressure work and blogging just do go hand in hand.
Well of this is just random thought scrunched up together like my jumbled up hair.
Make sense out of it if you can!
I guess the gist is just "I took the road less traveled and that has made all the difference........................................................................

Wow, its so cryptic.. read it twice... still trying to understand.
ReplyDeleteHope it's going well, whatever it is.
ReplyDeleteYes, blogging is an excellent break/stress buster as it gives mind a slight rest/recreation and destresses it. Totally rocks.

ReplyDeleteIs that good or bad?:)

Sure does! Also, when stressed, we need more self-expression.
Aadi! This is so like my situation.. and you know that, don't you? Whatever the future hold...I'm sure we'll be there for each other as the bestest of friends -- and that is all that matters I guess. Reminds me of the poem "Please Listen" from Chicken Soup... yaad hai wo poem tujhe? It was our undergrad favorite...

ReplyDeleteYup yaar, its both of our situations in a way.
That's the part...that we are still there for each other...and that we are again at the same phase in life!
Yes, I remember that poem and the readings we used to have in 724/588!
its not good or bad. its hard to understand. i m sure its hard for you to understand your own mindset... Infact the good thing is your able to describe the same, i wish i could do it half as good as you have done
