The Awakening - It takes Nine9 months

The SMS
“Are you Passionate about the work that you do? If yes then forget it. But if it’s a big NO, then write to me on Gmail. Write all that you feel or want to do or want to be. Feel free to express yourself. Only a select few are being sent the message. Do respond back. Its time we think about it and not blindly do slavery. Free Will and Free Mind cannot be CONTAINED.”

The Beginning of the Blog – an SMS that I sent to five5 of my MBA friends.


Like any other ordinary morning, it all seemed normal. Well yes it was a fact that I was again late for office, getting up at nine9, but then who cared. Work was not comforting. It also happened to be Friday the 13th. Hardly matters right, but today was a holiday, an official holiday on the occasion of Baisakhi. A friendly call had awoken me and informed that officially today was a holiday though the next day was Baisakhi.

Thankful for this one last break, I jumped out of my bed to make most when the Sun Shines.

The most predominant thought was why and how I had landed in the city of Amritsar, far away from my kind of world. On top of that I had been here for exactly nine9 months, days included. It all seemed a bad dream. But then facts can’t be erased as text from the whiteboard.

This gave rise to the next obvious fact, am I enjoying what I am doing? What is my calling? Is this work my life? What kind of development have I caused? What is the development in me? Have I changed one life? Do I need to go on in this manner? What is the future course of Action? And most importantly, am I happy?

The answer was clear and simple – Zilch in every aspect. Other than having made some money and gained some know-how of the Insurance Industry. What is it? It’s just like any other job that any ordinary person does or needs to do, in order to have the materialistic benefits in Life. It is not the end of the World, is it?

I need to enlarge my Vision or rather live it up. Especially when my parents have given me complete freedom and I have no dependant.

I leave with these few lines that I made for my Branch (Ajnala) Vision: “To Achieve a Positive, Distinct, Identity in the Zone.

What about my Vision? Thoughts need words, words need Action. Time up. A Realization dawns.
