Afterthoughts

I have sent out e-mails and yelled over phone announcing yet another career move.The reactions have been mixed to say the least. General complaint has been why technology again,why not finance or consulting?

I have only one answer to counter such questions. You need a lot of focus and intellectual horsepower to make these dream jobs. To generate that effort you need to really love such careers. Sadly i never liked finance and consulting was more of an accident.I never gave a 100% towards my consulting or finance preps at the ISB.I chose Chennai and this job with a reason in mind. Most it has to do with my interest in music and wanting to stay close to my family. If you really know what you love in life then such decisions come easy.My job was never my first love it was just a means to an end.Hence I found it very easy to ditch one international offer too.

A job or a career is not something you wish to flaunt, it should be something that comes naturally to you,something that makes you feel good while you are at it.Some individuals associate thier existence and self esteem to the brand image of thier employer. That is a sorry state to be in .
Today Sashi uncle made me sing to a few guests at his residence.I didn't do all that well,but they have invited me to sing at thier daughters wedding in a few weeks. I know music makes me feel at home and i feel super cool when I am at it.I felt good .Dunoo if I will make that career switch yet but I am happy that I am making a few moves in the right direction...
