The Happenings 2..........

Whoa.....What a week it was? Still feeling it. I had all things happenings in past week....friends..hanging out.....NYC......awesome food...and loads of study phew....

Week started fast on me last Monday I was still finding solution to some questions left from Sunday training then came Tuesday when one of my very good friends decided to call it a day on job hunt and head back to her college for starting PhD, so farewell hanging out and every time its same good old NYC(New York city) which serves this purpose, but it had just started to pick up as following day I have to visit by my best friend rather bestest(to describe friends who are more than best..any other word please advice) friend who cares like a family like a mentor to me, guiding and keeping me up to the tasks but the best part was yet to be revealed as she had her mother and grandmother visiting her for the Grad Walk so meeting them was great experience it was great feeling to have elders around who talk and discuss everything except the job scene. It was after months that my mind was relaxing without a drink, it was at peace for some time. Thursday followed with a very hectic schedule as I had to come down to long island (ya good old long island life and beauty around) and on the way back we got some good Chinese food from one of my favourite restaurants out there but all this left me drained and dead tired so I decided to stay put at my bestest friends place and with so much peace in mind it was one of the best night sleep I had in months and when I got up on my own not being lazy ready to get back to my place to go for training and then studied till late in night.

All this enjoyment meant I had loads of sleep to catch up on Saturday but had soccer matches to watch so really not much sleep but it meant I took a break from cooking but its back to where it was one week back and same old script will be running day in day out.....but still it was a week to remember for all its good memories which will help to keep my tempo up for some coming weeks (I hope so)..........

The Happenings.........

It has been a long absence since I have written something, you can say the recession has its effects everywhere and the article growth has gone negative for the first time in past few months where I read more and wrote less. Actually things were not changing as I was used to and harder I tried to make them work slower they got, it was like the more you struggle to get out of wet sand faster it takes you down. Then finally came a time when I quarantined myself from outside contacts no chats, no reading and yes no phone calls. It took me more than 15 days of isolation to analyze what is happening and what I am making out of it ? and then the answer came courtesy of totally unexpected source of inspiration and it was The Happenings........

Things do happen and I saw them coming to but was as helpless as trapped Piranha in a drying lake and knows sooner or later it will be hunted. I used Piranha here just give myself some morale boost to still consider myself as a hunter not the one hunted. Well I have learned a lot during this phase of life where the first thing I have seen after finishing my studies is the The Great Recession which world has seen in more than half a dozen decades and I can say I have learned three things and they aren't any new ones just same old 3p's but I call them Mp3's(my 3 p's) and they preservance, persistence and patience even though I am still trying my best to land a job which I really want to do but this situation offers you a lot of easy escape routes, where you can just blame the whole damn world and its devil managers, keep yourself to limited job types which you want to pursue and sit back and say I am waiting ( actually I tried to do this for 3 weeks and ended up being depressed).

Recently after ending my quarantined phase I found there still lot more to be tried and you just can't take others solutions to your problem it has to be ingeniously invented and during this all I wrote my first quotation " Solution is not the Solution when there is a Problem ". Finally I think economy has started to recover so I hope my article publishing will also increase and I will get back to my job hunting with a hope to find the one soon which I want to pursue.
