I graduated this year from an IIT with an MBA degree. My convocation is just a week away. while I look ahead to attend that honour, I also wonder how my classmates would drown into : Pity, Hidden smiles and Amazement when they will know that I am still unemployed!!
Clarification: I chose to leave a job which was paying enough to cover my expenses and also would have helped me shelf some money for contingency.
Why would I leave a job!
Because I think I can get back to something like that when I am back in the city.
Till then, its a back-in-hometown break!!
so I have marked a month of unemployment. This feels alright so far. Guess it has its reasons:
1. I managed a family outing to a religious place. Something that I had been looking forward to for 8 years now!
2. My parents are taking the proposal of my "bidai" time drawing near, with a sentiment of thankfulness instead of taking it up as something being done just for the sake of it.
3. I am trying my hands on some crafts, the only thing I could roughly claim to be my hobby. "Roughly", since I am not as creative as I would like to be. Still a hobby, since that was the only thing I used to invest my time in, back in school days. As for the last 6 years, it has majorly been reading novels and writing, none of them taken up sincerely enough. :P
4. Home is a place where you can mould your time and divert your energies as per your wish. It is a nice experience to be able to feel that freedom. So far it has only shown how lazy I can get! :D
5. I have been able to set for myself a perfect personal-take-care regime. So I am religiously practicing reiki and yoga. Something I wish to continue for life, and hopefully would!
6. I am trying my hands in the kitchen. An occasional dish or delicacy can be a delight to make. It becomes more important for someone who has avoided the culinary responsibilities for all these years. It was important to realize how it can be fun. More on that in the next post.
That, I guess, is almost it.
For those well wishers who are wondering what shall I do with my career, if I remain this casual, I just have this:
It is alright to take a break when you feel its time. I don't think I can stay this way, i.e. without work, for long. It will only make me lazy and irritating.
