Another Sunday.....

It was beautiful Sunday morning. After five days of hectic work, any software engineer will always be waiting for weekends so same was the case for me. After morning’s tea, I took up news paper and started reading. Saw first headline i.e. recession in INDIA and many companies firing their employees. That time I got a call from my friend, he was saying that he was preparing for interview questions. Reason he had is that his company was planning to fire some of the employees. So he was preparing in advanced. Remember our past generation? My dad was in government service. In his weekends, he was quite a relaxed person, gave full time to us. When we planed for vacations, he used to take 10 to 15 days of leave, and he just enjoyed his trip with full energy. But now time has changed. When I go with my husband for vacations, I do not get 10-15 days leaves. We have accepted this scenario. When I am on vacation, I still think about the office; how is project going on? Are any new projects are going to come or not? Will I be team leader for the next project?

Most of the friends are on high salaries. Still they prepare on weekends for next hike. Many of them are sitting in the office till late night; taking training, reading tech books. I am also not different from these people. After all these activities, when we get time for ourselves? After all these activities, what I will get? Money? Fame? But what about piece of mind? Would I get that? Till what stage of my life will I run behind this? At certain time I have to stop!

Yesterday I saw Dasvidania movie. The hero of movie is going to die within 3 months. So the hero makes a list of things-to-do before he dies and he sets on a journey to fulfill the tasks on the wish-list.

After this movie, I analyzed myself what I would like to do before I die? But I was confused. I didn’t get the answer. I thought what will be my to-do-list before dieing? Take it other way. I will do whatever I want to do. I will not wait for the life to end.
All these thoughts crossed over my mind and as usual and went away. Again I have to prepare for next 5 days test match with full energy.
