Well so thats it! Credit Suisse front office analyst role. Done for now! I am no longer employed
A lot of people support the idea of taking a break. Trust me its worth it is what Ive heard. It helps you get refreshed, makes you all geared up for the next phase, all in all gives you freetime!
Honestly, the break so far has been the best time Ive ever had and I hope will continue to make it memorable. Lot many things were looked forward to when I took the decision fo quitting:
1. I get to stay in my room! Its been 2 years since dad had constructed this room and I've only stayed here for the 2-3 days of mini vacations at home sweet home. I realise I've never had a room for myself till date. I want to have that part of my life where I really stay, live and belong to a room in your home!
2. I get to realise what staying at Trivandrum for a while is. I mean this is my home city and I have not spent good enough time here in my youth to have a sense of belonging. My education was at IIT Madras post which I spent 2.5 years in the hustle and bustle of Aamchi Mumbai. This is a city where I see myself settling down in the long run!
3. My leg which I have been missing for a while now is back on track to recovery. I needed this break to set it back so that I get back the life I have been missing
4. I have been yearning to spend quality time with my family mom, dad, grandparents, cousins, relatives. Guess this break will help me be a part of my family and my home
5. I plan to travel after the first 2 months. To places where I am lost in the surroundings. I need to travel to decide what I need to do post my studies next year.
6. I intend to read and improve my understanding about a bunch of topics in business and finance. I intend to read about online commerce ventures and better my understanding about e-startups in India and globally.
7. Photography! Something I've always wanted to venture and try out since passing out of college. Now that I am crippled and denied the ability to play, run or travel, I have gifted myself a Canon EOS 1200D (18-55mm + 55-250mm lens). Im now thinking about good ideas to utilise the same. Surely the break will help me pick up this to a decent level.
8. Work a bit more on my sense of music. Improvise on my cajon and pick up my guitar lessons from where I had left. Listen to good songs and explore trivandrum jam scenes hopefully similar to the ones in Mumbai!
9. 2014 was a disastrous year by all means and I really want the next year to be kind to me! Went through a lot of personal issues which definitely hit my confidence levels. I need to refine myself and mould myself better and this will only be possible through introspection and spending good time with urself. Hopefully I get to do this too
10. Overall, my tenure towards the end of the analyst role made me realise that I really had to structure my life. I was wasting my time doing corporate slavery. I sort of want to face the "Enthino vendi thilakunna sambhar" conundrum. It is one of the toughest questions to confront and I aim to face it and hopefully find an answer to this!
To take this break after quitting my job in Mumbai is really not easy. Saying no to Mumbai, the money and the people was never easy. But I guess you often park your ride for a while to rev up and move on, maybe a totally different path!!
