I was sitting at my desk starring at this gud for nothing, idiotic servant of man .. "The Computer" (no offence), when one of my friend pinged me asking what i was doing?.. i told that i was sitting idle with less or no work.. Even he said the same (Recession time and IT and Engg Services fools have no work) .. He told he was reading my blogs and i jus got an idea.. Why dont i post another blog... and here it goes... its about "Recession or Searching for happiness" ..
I firmly beleive that this period as many people think is a cataclysm in the service industry on which India is relying upon economically.... While many people think it as a misfortune, some like me think it as a blessing in disguise ... Confused ???... Yes, this event can change the face of India ... People can look for self-employment .. I heard that an IT employee who was laid off recently started a restaurant .. (Mind it .. there is no recession for food) ... It is gud on his/her part to react quickly to the situation .. One good thing about the idea of self-employment is that you be at your own place and there s no problem of relocation .. haha .. Ultimately we live for ourselves, family and friends ... It is sad to hear tht India has lost 5lakh job in the last 3 months .. Who knows, even i may lose mine in the near future ... So i am planning for my future.. To be self-employed which wud earn me sufficiently, to be with my loved ones, to do what i want, to learn guitar, to play cricket, to be with freinds , which will definitely give me tremendous satisfaction and which i surely miss it rite now ... Life is short .. "Do what you really want"

Good one.. Thanks for calling your IT friends, fools. :) (that involves me also).
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that India should take this recession positively(still i feel pity for the people who lost their jobs).Too many things were happening in IT before this recession. Everything was falling out of places. People switching companies without following any ethics, the companies themselves wasting money in different ways (which many of the people know), etc.. In a way, now everything will be under control. IT is not a hot destination for young people anymore. It should function just like any other industry in the country. It will be good for the country as a whole. The younger generation should now again start focussing and concentrating on areas like civil services where you can contribute to your self development and also country's. Above all as Arvind said, 'Do things which gives you joy and keeps you happy'. This recession is a lesson for everyone. Time to rethink........
yes ...i totally agree .. i shud have also highlighted about other industries and not only self employment ..
ReplyDeleteand it is definitely time to rethink ...
