Endings

Hey people! How is it going? I have just got done with my MBA, and the feeling of the end is just sinking in!

Have you ever had experiences of endings? Times when you just want to rewind the moments and memories that have gone by and relieve them again? Well I am experiencing some of that now and hence this post! 

I look forward to beginnings, each day, every time. It is the endings I fear. Because some moments become so special that it is difficult to let them go. And when you finally make peace with an ending, it is time for a new beginning; and the cycle continues, becoming an integral part of your life!

This poem I had written a while back. Holds very true for me today! Hope you like it.

An end is only a new beginning they say,

I wonder if life could work that way

How does one prepare the heart,

For the new situations that are so different from the past

How does one leave all behind,

When the mind knows that time won't rewind

Why is it so difficult to accept the new,

Maybe because about the new, one has no clue

But, life is all about unpredictibility, the unknown,

And to confront this is the only way to grow!

I Don't Wish To

Hey People! How's it going? I've been busy. Procrastinating! :P

The Mumbai weather is just going from bad to worse, though I don't like complaining; this my favourite city after all! I personally believe that, its because I've been in Mumbai for so many years, life has been full of opportunities, new ideas, the freedom to be yourself; stuff like that!

Like I have been mentioning before, the end of MBA life is nearing and I keep feeling overwhelmed because each memory that I have built in the past two years is special and close to my heart! When I see my friends gearing up to face the corporate challenges, I realize that this definitely is something I don't wish to take up, and I have my reasons for that!

I Don't Wish To..

I don't wish to work in a world where your day starts at 10 in the office and ends at 7 in that very office, at the same desk. I don't wish to work in a world where fun and joy equals to weekends. I don't wish to work in a world where you need to put in applications for vacations, months in advance and sudden surprise holidays are not possible. I don't wish to work in a world where egos are stronger than knowledge. I don't wish to work in a world where following orders matters more than giving creative opinions. I don't wish to work in a world where you have to live others' dreams. I don't wish to work in a world where mundane, stagnant is considered normal.
I wish to make my own work world where work is passion for me and each day brings new opportunities and new challenges, I wish this to be my work, the work that gives me not only happiness, but a whole lot of satisfaction as well!

The Free Bird

Hey people! Wassuppp ;)
I just got done with my last lecture of MBA. I am definitely going to cherish the memories of these two beautiful years for a lifetime! Life has its ways. Some awesome, some not so awesome days. But as they say, life moves on and sometimes you are more than happy to cling to the memories that you have built in the past.

Like I mentioned in my previous post too, I have chosen not to take the corporate ladder but instead have chosen an offbeat career, something that will require me to move to the US for a year. More on that soon! :P

This post today relates to the feeling I have today, when  MBA, something my parents wanted me to do, has almost ended and now am on my way to living the life of my dreams.
This post is for all those who, after a long phase of working or doing things that they really did not wish to,are finally free birds. I share that feeling! :D

Now they shout, you are a free bird. Be what you always wanted to be and do what you always wanted to. A smile on my face, hope in my stride, armed with dreams, I set off to conquer the world. Before I can take the next step, I realize that I no longer have a force pushing me in a particular direction, no one who I need to answer, no one I can blame! Which is the right way? Does this path lead to my desired goal? Does this path even lead somewhere or I am too blinded by my dream to not even be able to figure out the practicality of the situation? All I am going to do is close my eyes and go for the big leap!

If you can dream it, you can achieve it

Hello lovely people!
I am towards the end of my MBA and while everyone is gearing up for the corporate life, I have other plans. Finally, I am going to do what I always wanted to. I will be finally living my dream! More on that soon! :)

Are you someone who dares to dream? Are you someone who thinks beyond the normal? Are you someone who could give up a very lucrative job to follow your passion? You there, this post is for you!

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.

A lot of people depend on others' opinions for taking most of their decisions. And these others love to pull you down.Try asking others about what they think of your dreams and goals. It is too late, it is too soon, it is not achievable, it is not the right time, are you serious?, these are some of the replies you will get. These others are the very people who have either given up to monotony or have lived a life they never wanted to live and hence can't see you walking on the path of your dream. These people are the ones who crib about everything in life and blame it on circumstances. Your dreams scare them more than they scare you because they remind them of their long lost dreams. But You remember, if you can dream it, you can achieve it!-Shweta
