The Green Grass

Its not the question that matters..
Its the answer actually..
The question HAS to be asked to the RIGHT person..
Coz all the other answers would take you nowhere...

Sitting in my 4 by 4 cubcile I wondered...
What does it take to move from this cramped cubicle to a classy cabin !!!
Someone shouted from adjacent cubile..
"Get an MBA..Thats what I would do.. And in 2 years times I would be in and u still be in this dingy 4 by 4"

Hmmmmm...

A month later the adjacent cubicle was being cleared..
The fellow resigned..
Moving to some B school it seems..
This followed by numerous mails and pics of "fun" he was having there...
It sure DID look like fun...

Hmmmmmm...

Anyways, the job suck..
Why not give it a shot...
And if HE can do it, so can I..
That was the worst thing to take on ego I must say...
A few months later, even my cubicle was being cleaned off...

A few later here, that 4 by 4 seems to be the best place to be in the world...
Those war rooms..
Those one on ones...
Those S1s..
Those con calls..
Those STs..
Those late nights...
Those sad coffees...
Those stake sandwiches...

Each of them seem to be the BEST things life has to offer..

And the best part..
The pay cheque at the end of the month...

In an attempt to get that Honda CRV, I parted with my Discover also... :(

If nothing, atleast I was "financially" independant..

Now, sitting in this huge library I wonder..
What does it take to get back to that 4 by 4...
Even 2 by 2 would do..

Everyday someone or other go bankrupt..
Someone or other does a fraud..
70,000+ job cuts in a month worldwide..
More than 20,000+ on the axe..
People are dying for a job..
And I donated mine...
Voluntarily..
What on earth was I thinking????

Life is indeed hard...
In comparison with everything else..

The grass as usual is greener on the other side...

God knows where the world is heading to..

Wada paao stall seems to be the best option right now..
Or bhajiya...
Even a mughlai paan stall would do...
Or may be singing in trains...

My economics prof says society pay more to educated people..
Even more to graduates..
Even more to those with "professional" degrees..
Even more to those with a "masters" degree..

I say BALLS to him..
