The Journey - Part 2


Taking forward from the previous journey..Now I am called a Chartered Accountant..
Hearty congratulations, overwhelming happiness.. not just for my parents, friends or me.. but even for those persons I saw and will see for the only time.. 
A person at the Kodambakkam ticket counter, while issuing my season ticket was overjoyed and proud that I had completed my CA finals in first attempt.. he had a sense of satisfaction and spoke to me like he himself had cleared the exams.. Little did I know that the uncle in photocopy shop nearby had a CA past.. he was too inquisitive about my results and was beaming on hearing i cleared and happily narrated about his way uptil the CA foundation then..

So the light was on me.. What was I going to do next.. Practice or industry..? Continue in same firm or go to a big four? And then someone asks why don't you join your fathers firm? If industry, which sector.. Banking? Manufacturing? what kind of manufacturing? Textile..Consumer Goods.. steel?
The buck never stopped.. 

You have everyone around you thinking that well.. that's it.. shes cleared.. now life's settled.
Is it really settled?.. Whole lot of new confusions and whole lot of new people to meet.. the decision was mine.. I cannot forget that day.. rolling over the bed.. tossing and tumbling to see some direction that i wanted to head through.. may be.. i need to get out.. may be i was way too comfortable here.. may be this was it.. and i was out..

A new day and new thoughts.. I was travelling with my brother but i was alone in my thoughts.. three lazy days and i figured what mattered the most to me.. what will enable me to reach that.. Cloudy days.. unclear paths.. unanswered questions.. all answered once i finished talking to those two people.. i cleared again..

I got a job .. but did i realise that this was not the end of everything but a mere scratch with the new world im going to face?

Waiting to face it,
Divya Venkatesan

Sunbae

As the financial year end draws to a closure (31st March), here’s another post to look back at the past. This time though a post about one of the most cherished relationship that I still hover about.. Sunbae… Pavitra Krishnamoorthy  As i reminisce the year i had spent with you, flood of emotions gushes out as my thoughts go to our first encounter with Sokku. My saviour as I got struck between the mutual funds of Sokkalingam aka Sokku (as we fondly called him thereafter) an individual whose Memo and STI, I was required to verify. Being a new entrant to the world of articleship, I managed to succeed in verifying the memo with your directions. You helped me wriggle out of the queries that arose during the process of verification even though you were in an even more terrific condition in the tax audit season " finalizing with partner''. Real patience, sheer grit and composure that you showed. It still inspires me a lot. The ...

Where do I belong?

Wondering.. There is a group who cares 'nil' and stands up for comedy. They don't mind what others' mind. Living the moment rather than trying to live it. Loud is their way! I like to be this way.. But then, the other side also looks patch. . Silent, thoughtful, patience - its their mantra. Smile at right times, do duty when required and more than anything.. understanding that life has nothing. Calm is their way! This also seems to be the best way to live.. Where to fit in? is there a perfect way to live? Perfection is a mere presumption of mankind.. Be the one you want to be is a brief thought.. as the second moment .. I hear life is nothing. One may feel this constant switch over as instability.. but I think this is "insta ability" ..  agile upon changes around oneself.. and within oneself.. Every man is loud and calm.. There's no one way to be.. there's no permanence in here nor in anything.. Akbar asked Birbal : tell me one ...
