Doing Away With Ennui At The Workplace, Personally...!!!

It's been over 4 months since "Ennui' crept into my workplace (read nomadic workstations) and I must admit, the state of ennui has become too much to take. As an employee associated with the Sales and Marketing Support Team, the possibilities of supporting multiple teams, visiting new locations where company offices are located internationally and working meticulously to meet targets to market products/services are endless. Yet, being tied to a seat and having zilch access to any sort of substantial work can really make an employee think twice about his capabilities. With my current team totally oblivious about their support members like myself in remote locations like India supporting the Americas, it is totally uninspiring to come into office and 'spend' hours over the laptop. To keep myself going, earlier I used to proactively call up clients to build relationships in lieu of them looking out for our company's support in the near future. Later, I realized

Realization That Life Needs Impetus

There have been some instances in the past few months since the dawn of the New Year 2014, that I have realized I need a new purpose in life. 6 months of this year have just sped past me and honestly there has been no actual value add professionally and personally. Well, I sort of consider that work has become absolutely mundane and  life has become stereotypical, in the sense that I just walk into office to complete my hours and spend weekends lazing around with absolutely no interest in activities I would have pounced upon couple of years ago. I have heard and read of the situation called 'Quarter Life Crisis' and I admit this is definitely a phase closer to that. Either I need a change or I definitely must manufacture one the give me a better purpose of life. Considering the fact that I borderline between an extrovert and an introvert and my confidence level is the only entity that keeps me alive, I would love to contemplate a career move which would allow me to explo

Fast Food Needs A Makeover

Hello Bloggers, I have been consuming Fast Food for over a decade now and I can safely say, it's a 'decent' alternative to satiate those hungers pangs, that knock into your system during scheduled consumption hours. When Fast Food actually became a rage in the early 1990s, people swore by it and it was consider in vogue to be goring on those delicious burgers and bread crumbs coated chicken, while topping it up which a particular brand of Cola. This is just couple of examples related to Fast-Food and I'm sure there are multiple options to support the industry. Personally, I must admit I have always loved the available options in Fast Food and remember pushing my folks to order a Take-away / Dine-In in the fancy outlets. The feeling of eternal bliss while consuming those juicy treats is unparalleled and something I always looked forward to. Since the past couple of years, I've suddenly grown totally averse to eating Fast Food. There are no radical menu chang

Time To Introspect, Yet Again

Hello There, It's been years since I blogged and I guess I must apologize for being away all this while. There has always been a constant urge to blog, yet somehow life itself seemed to keep me busy / engrossed in varied matters. My last blog dated May 07th 2008, was written at a time when I had that positive feeling that things were shaping up for the best. I must admit, I was very much in my student phase and was looking for a new meaning towards my life. I'm really glad these last 5 and half years went by, very well and I realized a lot of my dreams, made my folks proud of my academic achievements and have a got a decent leeway into the corporate world. Now starts the new challenge. Currently, at my job, I feel I can put myself to use in a much better manner, somehow I'm yearning for the exposure I've always wanted, in order to see the world and interact with people from varied cultures. It's time I take some firm decisions and chart a suitable course
