Circle of Life…

So everything in life comes a full circle eventually…

There was a time I would look at investment bankers with a sense of awe (tinged with a bit of envy, maybe), for having coveted the dream job with the six-figure salary. But, not any more. Ever since the big banks in USA have filed for bankruptcy, things are not so rosy any more for our bankers. Apparently, many of them are now jobless. What is worse, is that they might not be able to land jobs with such high salaries again, going by the gloomy outlook of the economy. To cite a really cliched phrase, every dog has his day…

Troubled…

 India seems to be going through a bad phase yet again. Serial blasts in Delhi, communal problems in Karnataka, and some others. I am now beginning to believe that religion is truly the root cause of all problems. I think the world would be much better off without it ! All it does is create divisions. For instance, it is now becoming difficult for me to maintain an unbiased view towards Islam and Muslims. I have a couple of friends who are devout Muslims, and I see an invisible wall come up between us, whenever the talk veers towards religion.

Though I am aware that the problems are being caused by a select few, and that the rest of the people are purely innocent, how can I possibly get over the fact that most militants today happen to be Muslims ?! I wonder what it is about Islam, that incites such intense violent feelings among its believers…

All Play & No Work…

I AM BORED !

All through my career, I always considered myself overworked and underpaid. For a change now, I consider myself under worked and underpaid too !

I am tired surfing the internet and playing solitaire during work hours to pass my time ! Most of all, I am fed up pretending to be working !

I hope this phase passes quickly…

P.S. And to think, I used to envy some of my friends in the IT sector who were on the bench for a couple of months. At that point, I was so tired slogging away day and night to meet my deadlines, that I genuinely believed nothing could be better than whiling away your time during work hours, and still taking home the paycheck !
