For other people kinda lost like me

Ok, maybe this thought doesn't deserve a post, (which includes wasting some storage space, some network traffic etc etc) or maybe it does. So I will err towards believing it does, at the risk of sounding pompous

So I realize that I do like writing. only that I think I should write when I have time to. It turns out, that is a fallacy in itself. I don't have time to even cook these days. Thanks to my new employer, my job keeps me busy beyond the 'normal' working hours. There are two things I realized.


  1. There is nothing called 'normal' working hours at all!
    From people who struggle to make ends meet and in the process do a lot more than 9-5, to people who are super ambitious and spend a lot more time than 'required' at work, to people who are just bored out of their wits and keep working coz they have nothing else to do, to people whose jobs are so demanding that there is nothing else they could do... There is nothing called 'normal' working hours. So I need to make time for things I like doing from within the mess of a time warp that I am in. Coz if I don't, well, it's my loss. 
  2. If I don't do the things I like, it wears on me.
    so be it writing, traveling to places or simply talking to people I love. I need to steal time to do it. steal from the worldly forces who are working overtime to not let me have these things.
Another thing I found about myself it' not as if I was doing things when I had the time. In my previous job (which seems like a different life all together now ) I did have a lot of time. But what did I accomplish out of work? not much (honesty is refreshingly refreshing :) )

I think I want to make most of my time when I seem to have very little of it :) makes me learn the value of time I guess :)
