Dealing with life, work, work pressure, life skills, life challenges, and changes have all become my favourite phrases nowadays as i am all set to complete the first year of my early thirties soon. Issues, challenges, and questions all are cropping at a new scenario. Knowingly or unknowingly i have spent some years in a wasteful way, in the sense, that i could have done many many things however could not. No regrets for that now. It was an experience. Recession blues, personal issues, domestic issues, illusionary issues, real issues, issues, issue and more issues - it seems life is made up ofissues only and finding solutions for it. Though many times, setbacks occur it is not all the way failures. So much to learn and live. Learning lessons in life never stops. May be this way life is more challenging, manageable and not certainly not difficult as all issues and challenges have their own solutions - whatever it may be. May be i am over thinking, but still it is an issue of utmost significance and no one teaches them except our life itself. Life, as i have seen, needs its own, altogether, skills and we take "our own" time to understand them.
I remember a Chintana aired by Akashavani Mysore nearly ten years ago, LIFE EXPECTS DIFFERENT AND ALL BEST THINGS FROM US. Our relief, happiness, satisfaction or whatever you call is depending on the fact that whether we provide it what all it needs. This is a simple fact but a challenge indeed. Having told this, I must also admit that I have already become a member of Future Forties' Club with two of dear colleagues and what i see a whole new journey of life ahead.I have always been interested to think, know and understand what is life, how it works, what way it should be etc.
In short, i am interested in life and this interest and dedicated and servicemindedness towards is entering into a new era now and Not but not the least, LIFE IS ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT.

Musings
Now i have sometime to blog. Work takes a lot of time, pressure, stress, commuting, oh...hundred and one things. Since nine days i was so busy with work. Today i have sometime to breathe and blog.
US economy slowdown has hit that country badly and we are witnessing its effects here too. I am reading, listening and seeing all this. Actively discussing about this too. The media have given it due coverage, though it is debatable. Some questions haunt me: Did India need all this? Given the free falling of free market capitalism in US, its visible effects here, what's the solution? Is this outsourcing, ITes sector not safe and secure?
First things first. Yes. India needed and needs this. The changes that we have been seeing in the last 10 years, are dream come true for millions. Common people (read middle-class educated Indians) have flourished a lot. ATM, mobiles, computers, credit cards, fat salaries (It's a fact that a young professional today earns more than what his father drew in the last month of his service).... this is all the result of this outsourcing, ITes jobs. It provided employment.
However, it is true that all this has been one-sided and as some say "abnormal" that has, to some extent, has had effects on society too (We all hear that people are becoming more and more materialistic like Americans and finally we also end up being so, I myself have experienced this). Now the moot question is how to deal with this? Will it be a doom? This is a phase and will pass too, some people say optimistically.
