It is said that "Work is fine if it doesn't take too much of your time."
Well, things seem to be going in the wrong direction in my case. Too much work not only reduces the enthu/joy but also harms health. Sometimes I feel that I am doing the wrong thing in life for which I shall regret few years down the line. And the pity is that I am not able to change it. The quest for making huge money in no time is the most dirtiest and sinful thing to do. But, getting out of this chase is, unfortunately, very difficult. And that too at the cost of one's life. My colleague who was happy that he could earn 4 lakhs hard cash in 6 months, now feels that his has lost more in terms of 'life' than what he gained on the monetary front. Some one once told me a very important thing: “You should not confuse your career with your life.” So, very true...yet so difficult to implement.
Soon I shall reach the state of realization...a feeling that materialistic things donot give you the ultimate unending happiness.

Well, this time a true story......of myself.....
#Characters:
My Ex-Team Leader 'M', Head of all TLs 'S', My ex-team leader 'P', my peer-colleague 'SB' and myself.
I have only started this game and I shall only end it. The people in my stream do a hell lot of work. We work almost 24x7 and the last day I took leave was in February beginning. And due to tremendous work pressure, people are getting frustrated...the performance is also falling.
Last month, I had exclated this matter to 'S', who did lend an ear to my words. But, no steps have been taken as of yet. 'P' knows that I am concerned about the work enviroment and she keeps cooling me down. 'SB' and myself are determined to get things working in the right way and both 'S' and 'M' know about this. But, offlate 'S' and 'M' have turned more cunning then what they were before. They are playing tactics of stabbing 'SB' and me from the back. Poor 'P' trusts 'S' and believes that 'S' is very good and concerned about the situation. 'S' has already put me in another team so that I don't bother him much. But, I, as usual, ready to fight, spoke to him yesterday that we need to have a combined meeting to access the situation. Though he has agreed for the meeting, its not yet scheduled.
So, here is a situation of pure politics being played in the organization. Since, my appraisal is anyway screwed up eventhough I have got extreme appreciation from some TLs and the PL too, I have decided that 'there is nothing to lose, and so better fight for getting things in the right place."
So, buddies wish me luck so that I can come up with some substantial change in the environment.
