Life Updates
Just when you are sure that things are just fine, life hurls choices at you. The choices flummox you and, just when you thought that everything was going the way you planned, you need to think, reconsider and take a decision all over again.
Yes. It's that time again when life has confused me. Here or there? This one or that one? Chennai or Hyderabad or Pune? Where do I need to go? J has got a job in Pune, but I have not. I have almost cleared that interview, and I can (hopefully) expect that offer in Chennai, the flipside is that J doesn't have a job in Chennai. Me, I got that job in Hyd, but it was not motivating enough.
I have an aversion towards Chennai, maybe its the language problem or the fact that I just don't like the city. Don't ask me why. There are somethings that you just dislike, for no rhyme or reason. This is one of the cases. J likes Chennai. You get the drift? Damn.
In other news:
1. We finally own a house, not fully (the wait is till Feb 08!), but the EMI's have started getting deducted. As J says, "Don't call it a house, call it an *independent villa*, cos that is what you own.". So to massage his ego, I shall say, we own an independent villa. This is what it looks like.
2. Watched OSO and Sawariya! Yes, to sit through these two movies and survive is a great thing. And I survived!
3.I finally quit the extremely stressful job. Handling multiple projects totalling to double digits, is and won't be my forte. I don't think I can handle that kind of pressure and work on multiple million dollar projects. Its better to move on and do something you like, rather than work towrds making people like you. I was not cut out for that highly stressful job. People younger to me can cope with that stress, I was ashamed that I could not. But I am what I am, and I am happy that I quit. That is what matters the most to me. My peace of mind.
My life will no longer revolve around waiting for weekends, as Hyacie described me in her post, "Prats, whose life revolves around hexing Mondays to turn them into Fridays, but fails." Yes, I will miss that :(
4. I've got my to-do list ready with the things that I want to do before I leave Mumbai, and the next month would be focussing on just that.
Starting next week, I will be on a month long holiday. And hopefully by next week, we will also decide where we will go. Pune, it should be, hopefully.
*Sighs* Such is life. Decisions and more decisions.
