Bhoy Lagchhe

If only they could pay for anxiety and overthinking. 

Will my latest venture turn out to be rewarding?

Why not?!

Will I end up quitting and depend on folks to buy me a bindi packet?

What?!

Play the leader and still be a shaky 24 something shying when someone calls you "madam" and expects you to handle situations.

Me?

Pretend confidence when you want your obhimaan of not being understood acknowledged and bandaged. 

I know right!

Bhishon bhoy lagchhe. Not wanting to rethink on decisions; because no choice; but bhishon bhoy lagchhe.

Saving grace, songs I discover through sappy web series.

Gods, be kind yaaaa! Pleeeease! :'(

Here's the song btw

Life

Myriads of yes' and nos

Myriads of holding on and letting go

Survive

Survive

Survive

Myriads of accepting show

Myriads of realizations; slow, very slow.

Life

Goodbye Is Just Another Word


When I left Accenture, I remember the Bollywood I created; cardboard boxes, turning back until the building faded, swipping and reswipping, extended farewells, notes, photos, after parties, saying Bye Bye to everyone I knew (which is a LOT of people given the social butterfly I was, given that Ecospace had 7 BDCs in total!)

Yesterday when I did the last logout from Wells Fargo, the experience was weird. 
Of course there was a farewell call, farewell cake, farewell gift, friends who wrote sappy, manager who spoke sappy, but the feeling was weird. To say Bye Bye to the first defect raised, first big stage experience, the first confident work, the first owning up, second heartbreak, many flings, million green tea breaks, Aha Andhra Biryanis, crazy hazy parties, growing old, making friends, meeting mentor, trying humour. All of that and more, Online. Also to three pairs of footwear at the pedestal that I didn't know I am losing! 

Off for third innings where the leap and risk are higher than ever. Praying to the job Gods for mercy and blessings, again. Pretty Please! 

BLR-T2-10f So Long! Thank You!

And as S said "Peene ki capacity, doston ka pyar aur naam ka khauf, kabhi kum nahi hona chahiye". 

Amen to that!
