What keeps me Sane !
This is the question I keeps on asking myself time and again. First of all let me clarify about my definition of a sane man. I don't mean insanity as loosing control of your emotions. But rather as loosing control of your aims, passions.
Nothing can be worse than having no aims in life. You are just like a rudderless ship wandering to the tune of random gusts of winds. You don't realize going through the motions how your life is wasting away.
October is special month for me. In any case this is a best time in terms of weather as in India this is the onset of winters. You can feel the positive energy in the air due to the festivals just round the corner.

But for me the highlight of this month is that my birthday falls in this month (I'm lucky that I can remain positive on my birthday due to its timing).
Off late (Since I found myself on the wrong side of 30), I tend to get into the reflection and planning on my birthday. And here is that time of the year again. But the first question on my Mind this time is. "How To save my sanity". Because the situation this year is unique.
For past couple of years; One of my main grudge against life has been my inability to change job. It has been really Achilles heal for most of my life. Off late I have been living with the feeling that I've been a big failure in this field. Hence its but obvious that job change has been very high on my agenda whenever I prepared / reviewed my to do list.
But this year, my situation is totally different in the sense that I have already changed the job. Managed to do it just at the end of last year. Hence now that one item is crossed off my list. Though just like everything related to life; its not a perfect arrangement, rather far from it. All said and done, one of the major factors in opting for this job has been the fact that its in Greater Noida. And I live in Gurgaon some 63 km away from it. Considering the type of traffic you encounter in Delhi NCR, Daily commuting on this stretch is nothing short of a nightmare .
Enough to drive you Insane. Hence my original question.

Its not the question of time only, this 2-3 hours spend while stuck in traffic really drain you of all the energy. Hence by the time I reach home.I find myself unable to do anything worthwhile. Even in my previous job. I was reaching home by the same time only. the difference being that I use to traverse by Metro instead of driving by myself. Hence my condition was different. I could sleep in the air-conditioned coaches of metro, watch movie or listen to music. Therefore I still find myself fresh enough which is not the case now.
Also the fact that my last job was a travelling one so I don't have to go office daily.which is not the case now.
Being stuck in nightmarish traffic everyone can drive anyone crazy and I really find myself literally driving crazy!.
One of the thing motivating me to move ahead in life is goals I have set for myself. But its really tricky situation as I'm not really able to devote any time or energy in working towards these goals.
I can't really end this post on a positive note as I'm still struggling against this problem
