Life in a cubicle - Beware!

                 Over the past few months and even at the latest occurrences, I’ve had to listen to the problems and worries that engineering graduate’s face. Obviously the world is in an arena of cut throat competition. But when parents try to clash their egoistic interest and competitiveness, their children do suffer the most. Is there any immediate effort on the part of parents to understand what their child has passion in? 95% parents aren’t concerned because they look upon the societal status.

This is like when you ask a high school graduate, ‘What next?’

Recurring reply, ‘Engineering or Medicine’

Did someone cast a spell on these parents that their children would be safe and secure in the field of engineering?

I’ve heard from those who started their engineering career as mere boring! Sometimes it gets on to the nerves and pulls down your entire mental stamina. I know ‘n’ number of people who still regret being in their profession. While some just need an engineering graduate degree, others spend their lives calculating the arithmetic progression of their lives inside the cubicles.

The culture of cubicles – similar to the working of bees and the set-up of a bee-hive. A load of work with unending dissatisfaction and a drive to pursue something different. Only which may hold them back is the need for money to support their family.

There was this guy who once told me, ‘Working in a cubicle is like you are put in a jail with some punishment over it. You keep on doing it until you become something deranged.’ He also adds, ‘I eagerly wait for the time to jump off my glued seat to head back home.’

And I’ve known for the past years, those who have had the guts to quit their cubicle life and end up doing stuff they are passionate in.

Analyze yourself first… Why a cubicle life for me?

Avoid these usual cliches in life. Be productive and stand out to be someone different and not like those eye drooping cubicle dwellers.

Steaming March and packed up schedule.

                             

                                  And there is March, steaming with the early heat of the summer. I’ve been too busy as of late; that I can’t find time to update my blog with new entries. Though I kept away from blogging since 10-12 days, the visits in my blog is at an alarming rate. Readers swarm in out of the blue.

Apart from my professional work front, I’ve collaborated with students in teaching them since a few months. Though the schedule is tight for me with my profession plus teaching; I enjoy what I’m into now. It’s sort of keeping myself busy always. It’s better to strive for something rather than be at ease in one’s youth.

I will soon be back with posts – literary as well as on other genres. Time plays the villain’s role here, which steals away the time to meet the priorities ranked first. And what I get at the end of the day will be barely 3-4 hours of sleep to satiate my soul and body.

There is a secret behind keeping yourself busy. It keeps you away from the negative energy of people surrounding you, as you are engaged in some sort of work or the other. Keep visiting my blog as always. Extending a note of appreciation for my new readers from Athens, Morocco and Norway. 

Gracias.
