Belief and Change

It matters little where you are born. What matters more is where you belong, where your soul owes allegiance.



The quote above is from an article by Shashi Tharoor in The Hindu dt 26 march 2006. It struck an immediate chord with me, as it put in perspective a lot of the events in my life in the past month. In fact the past month has without doubt been the period of my life that has seen the most flux. Now what remains to be seen is how much i learn from these events and move forward in life as a better person.

Its such a pity that I cannot verbalise a lot of these events and emotions that I've experienced but only relate to them euphemistically.

All my life I've performed better when i get shunted out of my comfort zone. And I've always hated those moments. They are most uncomfortable yet most necessary. These are the events that have catapulted me to the next level. Yet again I'm at such a threshold and this time it is the biggest and most important as this time i'm at a crossroads, professionally, personally and intellectually. And I dont foresee a quick solution to any of these thresholds. Its going to take a long sustained process and big fight to get through this corner of my life. And its going to be my beliefs and values that are going to sustain me through this.

Moving on

Life is all about moving on...and how effectively one can do it determines one's success with it. I'm beginning to understand the meaning of the term honeytrap! And why even the best of men fall for it.

Its important for me to retain the edge that is the hallmark of my professional career. The ability to get to the top and stay there.
