Ramblings Only

Just ramblings, only a vent for emotions, feelings and all the good stuff

Bottomline

Thursday, June 11, 2015

I almost survived week1! Tomorrow I am planning to take off.

Major turmoil and confusion at work. Will write about it later when the dust settles. What I feel is, good people cannot survive in the corporate world. Only the rough and tough do.

I oscillate from wanting to do my best to survive and succeed in the industry to wanting to just drop everything and go do some good for others. There is so much sadness and injustice in the world. I could help with what I know.

If I ask myself, what is my passion, it is women empowerment. So I cannot leave ;--p

But I have not been able to change the mindset of my own people, my relatives, oh,my DAD!, how can I convince others?

And also who will pay for my vacations? I dream more and I add more places to visit. I am happy to have ticked at least two of my dream vacations. I will visit Nepal again, do the Gokyo Valley route next time. I am yearning to hike more. I look up New Zealand and the Alps. I get bummed and wonder what we will do with JSK. I mean how many times can we leave her with my parents ;--p at some point she will be matured enough to know we are being terribly selfish.

And for that I have to get JSK also into hiking. And for that she has to eat!!

Actually I have to say Madame has been eating very well since we got back. I think she missed my super bland cooking. ;--p I guess each Amma's samayal only the child enjoys ;--p needless to say I was super happy.

So bottomline is this. Life is too short to do all the things you want to do. Don't waste even a minute of it doing something you don't like.

If you feel writing this blog is a waste of time.. Hey!! I girl has gotto ramble ;--D

Ciao.

It was wonderful to read your blogs about sabbatical travel.

You are right about not wasting time and doing things you love - with or without kids. And also about helping others...I am big on that and I really try to take small steps where even with such a busy life, I am able to make a difference in others' lives.

Keep it up, and keep writing! I need to get back to it, however boring our posts may be (according to us).

Hey I have often felt that way and in fact took off for a year before Tucky joined pre-school. It was the best time of my life. There is something immensely satisfying around helping people that is difficult to get in the Corporate world. Nice to see you took a sabbatical too and explored the world! Good for you.

Women empowerment is all about making decisions that make you function at your very best in all spheres of your life isn't it?

yep would be interested in women empowerment blog. More power to you to bring light on such issues.especially the women of middle east. No rights there at all for women. at least those who emigrate here need to realize that they have freedom in this country.

Thanks Shachi! You should write! Miss your posts. Right we should do what we can but I just feel it is not even scratching the surface!

Saumya,
I know taking time off feels liberating and you are back with a renewed interest! Women empowerment, I agree!

MK, Yes yes, but enjoy your motherhood now ;--)

Anon, you are right, i cannot even begin to fathom what the women in the middle east go through :--(
