So, here I am after doing stories on how 'The Global Recession" has hit everyone from Lehmann Brothers to the neighbourhood Sabzi Wallah . It’s my turn now to have a first hand experience of it...
The dust has finally settled, the final paperwork (The last rites as I say) is complete. Life seems to have changed somewhat, I am not charging my phone twice in a day, I am smoking a lot lesser and ironically eating three times in a day.
Life indeed seems to have changed.
It’s a funny sight switching on the TV to find your friends doing the stuff you once used to do….funnier because being there u know what all goes in to ‘make’ it, you can actually what’s happening behind the camera. But it’s a tough job….tough not because it’s a lot of hard work (which it is)…but also because being a scavenger 24x7 can be torturing sometimes.
It’s time to move on now…
This recession has been lucky in its own ways to me …its been unlucky, in its own way. The few months have just whizzed past….recession, lay offs, new things in the horizon…finding some….not being so lucky sometimes…etc etc…it’s been a roller coaster ride….n m enjoying it like one enjoys a roller coaster ride (lets hope that I am enjoying even when I get down from it)…
Lately I have asked myself a question, ‘Why was I doing this job?’ I had no answer to this question, this question came to my mind several times, and each time I couldn’t find an answer. I asked the same thing to a lot of people but nobody had a definitive answer, why are they doing whatever they are doing professionally?
Maybe Money….
But is it all about the money…I again asked myself this question…
