It sometimes amazes me how unwise I am. Or is it equally difficult for everyone ? You spend more than 17 initial years of your life preparing for something with single motive of earning money and then one day, it doesn't matter anymore. Suddenly a strange feeling of satisfying your creative self takes over and it doesn't matter how much you are earning thereafter. Even though you know that its money instead of this stupid feeling that will fetch you food when you are hungry in the end.
Your sanity speaks to stick to something that brings in more money but for how long will you be able to suppress that feeling within. You understand the power of money, the way it can bring you down on your knees, the way it can break your spine but its satisfaction that matters after all, isn't it. Whom should I listen to, the mind which speaks the language of money or the heart which yearns for satisfaction of self. Its time I devise a middle path or you tell me if you have dreaded along the same lines before.
The tussle inside,
its tearing me apart.
Maybe I don't know,
what to do
Maybe I try so hard.

I know the feeling so well!! I compromised a bit..going for money and "brand name" initially..but look at me now! Not a very well known organization, good work and good money..For once I can say "I love my job" without flinching:D
Look for a combo like that..money plus work..am sure you'll find something:-)
* I could gove a long lecture on this topic..but naaaah am sure you don't want that. Cliched phrase, but you're the best judge. What some random/not-so-random person says will not make a difference!
If I go philosohpical, I will say follow your heart, much like some Robin Sharma who sells Ferrarais, Shiv Khera who tells you to think free, or even Sharukh Khan who fools hundred innocent Ranis and Prritys to fall in the stupid trap of love, but I am not one of them.
But, I know your problem just like mine, its not money and money alone, we are fucking pendulums swinging between these fucking two ends. I think Neha gave you briefest possible answer.
My take stop thinking, thats the root of fucking all evils, we cant be great so at least try to be lesser mortals, lets not screw on that also.
Crazy: I am happy for you that you found the job you wanted. I too will start looking for something like that, a good job or say, a job of my liking, raise may not be more but should be enough to sustain myself, with all luxuries ofcourse :P
And how dare you used the word random, you know you aren't one...
Chacha: I know what you mean chacha, lets hope the venture we are planning works, along with current sucking jobs. Amen !
:)
does this count ?
"more no. of girls in da office"
hehehe!! *smiles sheepishly*
btw, thanks for the honor!
*bows*
Saari luxuries milengi pappe don't you worry. And even if that doesn't happen, MAIN HOON NA:D *moronic laughter*
As for the random bit, I wasn't referring to myself per se. What I meant was that others opinions will not and should not matter to you. Am definitely not random:-) *some more hahahaha*
Soup:Hehehe, it can count ;-) par yahan to wo bhi nahi hai.
Waise that doesn't count and welcome :-)
Crazy: Thanku thanku Rahul, naam to yaad hoga ;-)
Haan, got your point :-)
Chor saale:P
Mein ! Chor ! Ye jhooth hai judge sahab, maine koi chori nahi ki, ye mujhe fasane ki saazish ki ja rhi hai , mujh par jhootha ilzaam lagaya ja rha hai :P
Judge kaun hai? Tera baap???? LOL
Mera baap hota to safai dene ki zarurat thodi hoti :P
Kya baat karta hai..baap ko toh bahut safaai deni padti hai jaanu:P
Ab wo to apne apne karam aur apne apne baap hote hain, hehe :D
I know this feeling gonecase! :D
Aisi feeling aati hai to case gone ho jata hai. Don't let it overpower you. Find a creative vent...
I would love to see your dad's reaction to this nice little conversation we've been having..am sure he'll be proud of you:P
Skeety: Mine is already gone but am working towards that vent, lets hope it works out. Amen !
Crazy:They are already enough proud of me, abhi hansi-khushi rehne de :P
Lemme talk to them..phir dekhte hain..teri kartooton ke baare mein jaankar unka kya reaction hota hai:P
Meri kartooten, maine kya kiya, mein to shareef bachha hun *acts innocent*
There you go..you said it yourself.."acts" innocent..which means you aren't actually..haha..gotcha!
And anyways, innocence is a trait I don't appreciate too much..I don't have it, and am glad you don't either:D
Arre innocent aur ghonchu hone mein difference hota hai, ghonchu nahi hun for sure, hehehe.
Baaki tu to bholi bhali sati savitri naari hai ;-)
I didn't mean ghonchu..you aren't that, but you aren't innocent either sweetheart:P
Aur main kya hoon..who else would know better eh?lol
thou i m late in commenting, bt then i think "Peace of Mind" is certainly very important.. not alwaz ur heart is right.. practically think, and take the right decision.. we spend so many years in getting things right...
right job, well.... there can't be one.. there can be better jobs alwaz.. :)
hello ji
main aa gayi wapas!!
and this dilemma..well what can i say..i guess at some level we have all been faced by this choice..as far as i see it..we earn money for satisfaction but if that is lacking in our lives then all the money in the world wouldn't mean a thing
but that is my opinion..it is for u and u alone to find the right balance
Apologies for being the critic: I think title shd have been Fickle Minded rather than Fickle Bodied...
