Life is a never-ending struggle. Struggle can be for anything, sometimes for grades, sometimes for meeting a deadline, sometimes to reach the sky, and sometimes just to be happy.
But what is happiness? I really do wonder at times.
As a school kid, we always want to grow up, as a teenager we want to grow a little more, have a boyfriend, go on dates, enjoy college life. In college, frustrations regarding boyfriend, and then the competition for grades, and yea tough time in maintaining a camaraderie with roomies.
I remember the "hell" I went through right after my engineering. The constant wait for "doj" to join Wipro. Somehow the "doj" became the only reason for life. How I wish I could have been home a little more. Life was tough, and now its tougher.
Two years in the IT industry does change your life. I guess the vocabulary becomes really monotonous, rather lousy. Quoting some common words--"deadline", "alert", "acknowledge", "release", "billable", "free pool"......this list of horrendously boring words is endless.
But there are pros too. Somehow life becomes a routine. Not that I love routines, but yea I do love the weekend routine. The IT mantra of work hard and party harder comes alive during our long awaited weekends. Saturday nite parties and Sunday breakfasts at 1pm is definitely fun ;)
And then the constant pressures of switching job, writing GMAT, flyin away from the country and discover a new world..... as I said I really don’t know where the struggle ends, and where happiness lies.
Happiness lies in the moment :)The moment which you are living :) A good Blog :) I liked it!
