Firstly, let me state that I mostly am a positive thinker. No matter what happens, i try to think about the positive side of it ("this glass is not half empty, its half full" types). Now, there are days when even I am forced to think negatively. Guess life is like "Muhammad Ali", unbeatable!! You might end up winning rounds but you will always end up loosing the fight. But its the fun and sense of achievement that one gets in winning these rounds that keeps us going. Optimists like myself, think about and picture the rounds that we have won in the past and the ones we can still win.
Now, a little update about my life. I completed my post graduation and got into a firm I wanted to be in (Well, from among the options I had), so safe to say, life's been generous. I won that round! But turned out, that life just wanted to make this fight more interesting and it delivered another hard blow into my face!I had to work for peanuts for 5 months (well, not even peanuts) in one of the most expensive cities of this sweet motherland. "Not a problem!!"I tell myself, "It's your first job, in such a reputed firm, you will get to learn alot!Chill!" and so I jump into the fire expecting to not get burned. 3 months down the line, realizing I still was asking my folks for pocket money, not being able to satiate the hunger of the learning hungry Tiger inside of me even a little bit (Oh! and I forgot to state that I am a very proud human being, and self respect is of extreme importance to me), it hurt. While this all was going on with me personally, events surrounding people close to me weren't all that hunky dory too, so that sucked too! My bro went abroad to pursue his ambitions, times have been tough to him till now. Can't really say how positive he is about all that, but I really believe things will get better as time passes. The parents miss their kids and vice versa. And then, a few of my close friends encountered troubled waters, one lost some money and his job, one is having family problems, 2 are having professional problems etcetra. All this adds to the tensions!! And these days I have started missing my long gone "mia amor" too much, still can't figure out why!! But I am a firm believer of the fact that that feeling is a come and go, so no big deal. What bothers me the most these days is the ever lasting and ever phasing "what does my future have in store for me?" But then that question, I am pretty sure, will never stop haunting me. oh! and BTW, did i mention, I am learning French(for the second time) and this time I might just end up learning properly. I also made some new friends and lost some of my old ones.These days, with respect to my job profile, I am into doing what I have always wanted to do and I am learning alot.(This round is mine!I am sure Life must be looking where and how to land a punch) I just hope I end up doing it well.
Well that's what's been up with me in a nutshell(literally)!
