A feel good post

Saturday, June 08, 2019 0 Comments

Have always looked at the downside of things. This for a change, a post in which I am trying to look at the bright side. I am not going to worry about being coherent. Maybe I will edit the post after putting down my thoughts into this post. Here goes nothing.



Disclaimers ahead of the post. This post is not to brag. Only to state the good things that I have had in my life, take a moment to pause, look back and appreciate.



I am 28 years old. I have a 4 year engineering degree and a 2 year full time masters(from an IIT) and 6 years of work experience as on date. I have completed 1 year of another masters (read as dropped out of masters after one year). Have completed an additional masters in business through distance education. Cleared a level of an eastern language as well. Crossed half a million views on Quora. Have started shooting videos for work and have had a reasonable reception of the same. Have made very limited, but brilliant friends. Friends who understand, who empathise, with absolutely no drama. Have clocked 50000 kms in the last 4 years. Life is beautiful. I guess Appa will be proud. The list looks good.



It is dreadful at times. there is no meaning at times. But end of the day, there are things to look up to. There are people who like what I pen down. I'm thankful for them. There are people who offer a shoulder, a warm hug, an empty seat besides them, for me to just sit there, and be in their quiet company, when I need it.



A great friend got into a (great) college that she wanted to. Another friend got into a great job. Another friend is exploring the world. Another friend is on his way to get his doctorate. I wish them all the love and peace and everything that they wish in their lives. I get to teach a lot, as a part of my job. Love that part of my job. The other parts are super interesting as well. Everyday brings about a new challenge, new projects, ever changing business landscape, tech and whatnot. Keeping myself abreast of changes is good. Getting to read everyday as a part of my job is fabulous. Getting a window to pour my thoughts into words makes me exhilarated. I get to manage a business in it's entirety, and I am glad that someone has enough trust on me to let me do that.

Been through few bad patches in life. Happy that I had gone through them, and grateful for all the humility that has taught me, thankful for all the wonderful souls who where there for me all through this arduous path. Have done enough things to actually feel that I have done something significant, at least as an individual. Hoping to learn and explore all my life.

Like my boss says, I still haven't thrown the towel in. I still have a good day's fight left in me. I shall wake up to fight another day.
