Snapshot of Life
This is a snapshot of a typical Indian life-event... with reference to the IT industry impact...
--
We are becoming nomads of the modern world where we go out to earn out living by talking and doing IT and in times of downturn, we tend to be herded out of cities in droves or herded from one company to another a la mental slaves to use our minds for someone else's ideas.
I make a move to Pune caught in this flashflood of 'cost optimization' ... not sure what else this optimization will lead to....
We are all now driven simply by the value of money we bring. We have definitely lost the old world charm and the definitive life we used to have... in the current times, we are all dependent on someone else's email that shows the direction to our life... esp. for those who are middle class, who are caught in this job syndrome and who for some reason are not able to be independent for economic survival.
There are many reasons for this kind of life, but earlier it used to be still manageable. Now it has become unmanageable more so because of the growing numbers of people... and a literal herd mentality.
People are overloaded with information, causing too much information processing overload, analysis paralysis and the works...
those who are able to seek and build the confidence in their lives and move forward become independent and are able to live through all kinds of times in a satisfied manner... otherwise, the rest of us are caught in this 'Chakravyuha' of life battling to get out of one... only to get into the other....
IT industry in my case is the force majeure that leads me to relocate... and I am to still consider I am better off than those who lost their jobs.. but I hope to use this relocation lesson to do something about the way I am being herded around...
hopefully Pune will give me that chance...
ages back, I thought I should be in Pune... for whatever reason then...
today, I am being to be in Pune... when I would not want to!
this is life...
Be careful what you ask for... for it might just be fulfilled.... (when you are least expecting it 'anytime' in your lifetime)
