Ironic, isn't it? We spend about twenty/twenty five years of our lives trying to complete our education, aim for a Master's or a PGDM, etc. only to realize that we're never to use it again when we hunt for a job.

Okay, let me give you a little backstory about why I have brought this up.
With all that I  have grown up learning, I have ended up working in places I'd barely known of- companies with backgrounds I'd never thought I'd be working for. 

For example - Last year, I joined this Sports Agency- where I worked as a Marketing Manager who ended up loving on-field executions. I'd travelled to cities where I'd worked on-ground, making sure; along with my team, we'd rule the event out with success. As much as I'm grateful to that agency for trusting me with the roles I'd worked there - I was incredibly sad when it shut down recently. 

While I'm writing this and simultaneously am looking for an opportunity that's going to let me pave the way in order to help me settle down, I'm wondering, what is it that I like or much rather, What is it that I want to do? Do I enjoy being a marketing manager? Do I enjoy being an executor on-ground? Do I enjoy working in sales? Do I want to be working from home or from the office? Or Do I want to change my Field ALTOGETHER - I might have these answers but the answers that I  have will probably bring in tiny amounts of income and years of delay.

All of this seems weird, doesn't it? Figuring things out is tough. Figuring life out is tough-especially when there are ample doors that are open for you (which you don't want) and doors that aren't- you crave. 

I know some people out there just KNOW what they want to do with their lives and they end up achieving it and that's great, Woohoo! But there are also some that are still figuring it out and I happen to be one of them - Woohoo! Again. I'm happy though. 
I'm happy that I get to explore, experience, and understand what is and isn't for me- it may take time but that's okay.
As long as my hope doesn't end and the learnings don't, I'm good.

Sweet Learnings🤍

 Few “somethings” I’ve unknowingly adapted/learnt from Baba  :  1. He’s the only empathetic person that I know. When I say, “the only” I mean it. Moments where one would expect a reaction built around anger, this man simply tends to replace it with calm; responding with an alternate of letting the situation go, building it with solutions.  2. He’s built our home. They say that the people who live in a house, a home (I AGREE) but here all the credit goes to Baba. He’s built it with immense efforts ensuring all our needs (Aai’s, my sister’s and mine) are brought together even if it meant he’s had to extend the expenditures. Without a single “NO”.  3. Along with being an empath, the power of selflessness is also something he possesses heavily. As much as I like to believe that I would want to inculcate it within me, I doubt if I will ever match his.  4. He’s one mad mad hard working man. He’s retired for about two years now but it just seems like he’s loved wo...

Detour🤍

For almost three years now, our family has gotten used to visiting Mahabaleshwar once, every year; to spend a little extra time than we do at home. Before I started with my new workspace here, we took a two day trip. This time, with a detour. A detour via Konkan. Actually, Mahad. From here, Kadwai, our native is about 3 hours away. We took a halt at Visava - a place we consider our “Tea Time Halt”. It’s funny how I pictured my entire family sitting on this big table, chatting about what vegetables we have to buy in sangmeshwar for the dinner we’re about to cook at night once we reach but even funnier, when the snap of - “aaj jevan karaila jauya ka ratri Bagicha madhe” hit me.  Simultaneously picturing two scenarios in my head, I forgot about reality. The reality being: I’ve not been here in the past four years since Appa. And every emotion ran through. BEAUTIFULLY.  I had forgotten how Konkan really is. How beautiful it is right now in Monsoon. How it is full of greenery and s...
