Praising God for adding another day into my life. Praising Him for the countless things He has blessed me with. I thank Him for saving me from the depths of hell and giving me new life. I am glad that today I celebrate my birthday knowing that Christ is my Saviour, my God, my Redeemer and of course my Friend. Faithful to the end.
A big shout out for all my friends who have blessed me with much joy and happiness, rebuked me when I have been wrong and stood by me through tough times. Love y'all.
Thanking God for my parents who have been so loving and have faithfully nurtured me.
Last but not the least to my sister, who very patiently bears with my idiosyncrasies ;) Love you sista and know that I will trouble you till Christ returns :)
Right now I am totally enjoying waking up in the morning at my own given time. That is what I love about holidays. You don't have a fixed schedule for the day. You just go with the flow. Even though I am at home during these holidays, I love the relaxed atmosphere around. Eating at random times, sleeping at random times and of course being chilled out most of the time :) After having absolutely crazy months at work, this truly is a blessing. Praise God for the different seasons in our lives. I would not want everyday to be a holiday or every day to be crazy hectic either. To know He is all wise and gives us these seasons so that we learn to be thankful for each of it.
In my last post I mentioned about my plans not going how I wanted it to go..But I am glad that it did not...Today was a very simple day, where I just rested, read a book and went out in the evening... Nothing great to what I had planned for this week..But when I was having super crazy busy days, all I desired was a quiet time. It was nice just to walk on the streets of Pune and eat roasted groundnuts on a cold evening. Let me not take these things for granted.Very soon I will be back in the whirlwind of work and exhaustion. So I should take these simple, not so extravagant days as a blessing from God. As He knows what is good for me.
I love to make plans.. I mean who doesn't... This week was supposed to be ones of those "planned holiday getaways"... Well it did not go the way I thought it would... The city I wanted to visit, ended up in a state of strike...So had to cancel my tickets and be in Pune:( So here i am down with the flu trying to make the best of my holidays..I really hope I can come up with some better ideas to make my coming days a little more interesting!!!
ABC
* company the name itself drew me closer to work for them. I remember walking
by the office building years ago and thinking, “Oh how I wish I could get a job
here”. Well my wish was granted in the August of 2010.I was super excited for
working in an “IT” company; the professionalism, the style, the whole work
culture. I was looking forward to start my new journey. However something that
I did not see coming into my very near future would be me quitting ABC in 2
months.
From
my 3 and a half years of work experience something that I can say very
confidently is that many a times we really don’t know what we want. Or if I were
to put it in a better way , “We really don’t know what is good for us.”
I felt like a total misfit when I started my
career at MIT Design College. I clearly remember the first day at MIT Design
where the whole creative world just blew me away. Each person was different; be
it their hair, the style of dressing or the language. I thought in my mind I
don’t think I will survive in this place for more than a month. Fast forward to
2 years later and I am still working there, enjoying every moment and very well
adapting to the culture that seemed very alien to me on the first day.
Now
I look back and wonder as to what went wrong with the other job. It was my
dream job; to be working with professionals where things are done in said
manner, every cubicle looks exactly the same, giving it the uber professional
look. The first few days I felt great, everyone is formal and totally into
their work. I was amazed at to how a lot of work could be accomplished by e-mail.
A few weeks down the lane, all that seemed so glamorous initially, started
fading away. I desired to have conversations with people which never happened
as everyone is super busy. My work kinda started taking over me and I would not
even realize when my day had come to an end.
I
had to sit down and think, “Is this what I really wanted? Do I see myself at
this job with these kind of people for the next few years???” The answer was a
BIG NO. Even though at the Design College the crowd was crazy and the walls
were painted in different colours, I loved it. I could connect to all of it at
some level.
Anyways
this whole journey was a good revelation for me to know for myself what I
really desired. I don’t regret quitting that fancy job at the IT company. I was
just glad that I did not have to be at a place that I did not like .
Music... What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "Music" For me its joy, love,rest, creativity and many more things. It is such an integral part of me.I don't remember a day that I have not listened to music. I am always amazed at the creativity of it. Each person who is musically gifted display their style uniquely. Praise God for it, or we would all be listening to one kind of music, which would be pretty sad.
There is so much that you can come to know about a person through music. It reveals much about you. So what kind of music do you like? I would love to hear your choice:)
