THE LONG HIATUS

This is a valid attempt to renew my love for writing and I duly apologise to the English Written Language for my absence.

Anyway updates are due, I have now finished my undergraduate in Electronic Media. Worked in design and copy writing for a bit, did a lot of interesting work but felt a need for change...
So decided to come to Bombay. Thus started my soul searching and job searching. Must say in these times the former is a far easier task. And I say this taking into account the vagaries of my soul.


JOB HUNTING...



Job hunting is a marvelous thing, you have to narrow down options, track down leads, follow up, hunt down people, find openings, "keep at it", attack an opportunity,weigh your options, negotiate, renegotiate, play your aces close to your chest, and discuss things like "monies" (whatever that is !) and listen to "anyways"(but that's another post),maybes, and Il get back to you. I am sure our cave dwelling ancestors would agree that it is truly a HUNT. Man, is it exhausting. All this to do what I love. So I guess it's worth it - perhaps the same satisfaction of hunting your own food, cooking it and relishing it especially when you are famished. Do notice however use of the word guess.
