Eighteen Months...

Just a small one here... finished eighteen months on the job last weekend.. in some sense, have come some distance.. After considering that a large proportion of my peers are into their second or third jobs, and given the feeling of restlessness, frustration and even anger sometimes that were a part of me the initial few months, I seem to have survived pretty well.. I guess what they say about time being the biggest healer has got more than a grain of truth.. those initial feelings have been replaced by ones of calmness, peace and at times, even blatant and cold indifference .... and while thoughts of switching over have always been in my mind, those are still just thoughts.. and so here I am, 18 months down the line, going on with the same old routine...

That great Marathi author and playwright P L Deshpande once said 'Nokri mhanje lagnyachya baayko sarkhi, dusri changli mhanun pahili sodaychi nahi.. shevti saglya nokrya aani saglya baayka saarkhyach' (Your job is like your lawfully wedded wife... you dont leave them just because the other is better.. finally all jobs , and all women, are pretty much the same :-).. so keeping that in mind, here I sign off, to hit the sack, get ready for another day at the same ol job.....

Ciao
