My Test of Endurance @ Workplace..

I lay back to think of my initial days in this foreign land where my career was at bleak. Looking at each skyscrappers wondering which one of it will accommodate me? Looking at every woman dressed in her work suit to think when will I fit myself in to one such dress?? A morning rush completely forgotten, lock the doors from inside to spend 8 hrs a day with job search... 

OZ is land which least recognises any overseas qualification or work experience. The only option was to take up any job to keep my days going... Casual jobs was the path finder, leading me to where I'm today. Finally saw a silver lining in my life!! Yes, just a silver lining: No Gold, No diamond.. but that silver by itself sounded kick ass to me, such was my depression of being labeled home maker and due to my desperacy: not to be Indra Nooyi but to be atleast a Admin Staff (smile!!).

A sufficient paycheck that was enough for me to run my family + my saving. Result, Happy life!! Vagabonds of OZ land with road trips every alternative month, dine out in Masterchef Australia Hosts' Restaurants, shopping every designer label that I once stared from the designer house facade.

WE lived our life, like we had no tomorrow... Did crazy things even fools can't imagine... lead a carefree life that made out parents paranoid... in short Jiya life King Size :-) 

I always believed life is best when u r independent, not to make fortune but the least to be self sufficient... 

Well finally Retuned to say, Mera Desh Bharat Mahaan... To find my foot held to what I like doing... The content of saying Yes Boss, U r right!! Man-handled in the name of deadlines and deliverables, fear of loosing job / fear of nor proving yourself if u gain no good name... Gaining reputation only when u log in 12 hours a day, even when u r carrying 8 months... A boss is an easy star  but a leader is like a shooting star... Yes lucky me I did have a shooting star who I would appreciate anytime... The man who recognized me and to took me in to job and a man who nurtured my skills during my job... cos of him the dark sky shimmered often!! 

Democracy in every bit of my career delighted me (grrr)!!

Well, The Blessing came in the form my little princess and I din't feel a bit to quit my lifeline for what I held in my hands was worth beyond my aspirations and goals!!

Thank you Sirji, Prabudoss Haridoss... U made me realize no job is better than a Mothers job!!
