Paradox of Disassociation

Had resigned from my job, at Newgen, a couple of weeks back. Reasons were : impatience (read long wait for success in new geography), money, and some of the people!

Post-resignation, life was easy - no tension of work, no time pressures...easy life.

And that's what you need, to understand how much you enjoy doing a particular thing. For close to two weeks, I did not do what I used to do day-in and day-out; and this break actually made me realized - how much I enjoyed doing that.

Most of us, often complain of things being so routine/monotonous for us. However, what we don't do is to pause for sometime and completely detach ourselves from our regular routine for some days. This break actually helps us rejuvenate and at the same time, makes us understand - whether we love what we do or we don't?

It indeed is a paradox that to test your love for something, you need to dis-associate yourself from it. But, we need such paradoxes.

Resigning from job could'nt have been better than this; it helped me get back to my job with more vigour now.

At cross-roads...



Just like my diary, the rate of my entries into this space is also diminishing at a fast pace. A fair gap between last two entries.

Life has been moving at a rapid pace these days; got engaged this July!! And now, slowly coming to terms with this reality...

Soon to be Mrs.Pandey has Sonal as a prefix and Mishra as Suffix. Based out of a satellite town called Kalol, near Ahmedabad. She'll be completing her MCA next year. So going by the current tradition(in terms of right age for getting married) - when settled to ones satisfaction; this marriage can be aptly called "Bal-vivah"!!

They say that the phase between, engagement and marriage is the most beautiful and most rememberable one. And they are not wrong! This indeed is turning out to be a beautiful phase of life..and of this relationship. You get to know the person...and you let yourself known. The feelings...slowly and steadily get intense and intimate. The word emotions find a new meaning.

At the same time, such a relationship like this brings with it a deep sense of responsibility and I am sure that this feeling is going to strengthen/intensify with each passing day. This transition from being a 'carefree single' to a 'committed & to-be responsible soul' has just begun. Would be interesting to meet, Mr.Bindesh Pandey around the same time next year.

Life indeed is at cross-roads...personally as well as professionally...
