Lost and found

I had so many dreams and expectations from my job; for the first time i knew that this is what i wanted to do and this was the path which wud help me fulfill my future goals. Now I am not sure. I feel so useless in this job, have absolutely no work and am paid so much for it. I guess I am not happy about not being given responsibilities and having to sit writing this blog. Well I was never good with sitting idle. Also i donot understand the working of the company, its so different, they hav e learning modules for everything but at the end you really donot understnad anything. There is some freedom, but you feel lost because of it. like you started on this journey with a map, but the map only goes till midway.

Actually I am not that pissed now, I know what i should do. I should start doing things which I like; swimming, badminton, running, gymming; reading. I should be able to manage these things. First and foremost, get my dream bike, go on a long ride and clear up my head.

Freedom of the Human Spirit

No matter wat happens or how down i feel, I just have to read this poem and am back on my feet, again believing that theres nuthing tat a human being cannot do, if he puts his soul into it. Nothing can bind down the human spirit, no dungeons, no cruel landlords, no governments, no dictators. Theres neither physics nor economics behind this; just the faith and belief in oneself.

As my friend Aditi has told me so often "You can will anything to happen. If you really want it, you will do anything to get it." Thats what human spirit can do. When a person can see what he has created in front of him, and it is what he ever wanted, then he is happy.
