Sucess is Situational
Yesterday I got mail from “K”. She was bubbling with enthusiasm
and happiness. Relocated to Chennai and got a better opportunity
and better prospects and more than anything else She is “Happy”.
I guess that matters most at the end of the day.
It has not been too long. I still remember the day when “K” got laid off. I was shocked and shivering when I saw the HR making her walk off the floor. When I talked to her on a later date; she was inconsolable. It was one of the situation when what ever positive words you try telling they tend to lose their meaning.
But God was kind enough. Within months time she got the job into another MNC. Well it does come with cons attached but at times one needs to decide on priorities. After all “Kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hai”
The good part is she got the technology she wanted to work into. She got promoted to next role. She is loving the work given to her. She is getting to work with one of the prestigious client. Life has moved on.
It is strange right ? At one workplace; success seem so distant. At another place you taste success at every step you take. Don’t know what it is. Success is situational probably. What makes this change ? People, vibes , probably the change itself. The best part is when you think you have reached at the dead end of life ; you see light at the end of the tunnel leading to the whole new world of dreams. Not giving up is the mantra.
Life is fun. The night ends and day follows. Being happy about what life has offered you is important. It is the survival instinct. Happy for you “K” 
Nice!!!
I think success tastes sweeter when comes after a little failure…
I am sure K’s beaming also because the light has come after the tunnel, and not generally moving fromone job to another!
Ever read the poem that starts out as
“Not one of all the purple host
Can tell the definition
So clear of victory
As he defeated…”
I am sure K is savouring this even more because of what she has been through.
And she is coming to a beautiful city, so yay, more reason for her to celebrate!
makret looks scary.. but news like this keeps us up isn’t it

I know what you mean. Happiness that follows the grief seems like more soothing and much valued.

So true. I hope she enjoys the Chennai Hospitality

Markets still do look scary.
We have got to live with this uncertanity. But then we have got to believe in the hope and keep telling ourselves ” This is not the end of Life !! ”
it certainly does. sometimes when you are unhappy with the work you do, it’s important to call it quits and find better opportunities. almost like taking a plunge. for better or for worse. the same goes for relationships too i would think. if you think its an abusive relationship, you need to gather the strength to walk out. that would be true empowerment!
lol, sorry i digressed.
Sometimes I feel that Success is based on one’s perception. Probably, given a situation, what’s success for me may differ from the standard metrics of the society..
