Khanabadosh - A beautiful Sufi word meaning one who carries his house on his shoulders. One who doesn't get rooted, his feet does not get planted.
Mirza Ghalib said 'Sair Kar Duniya ki Ghalib, Yeh Zindgani Fir Kahan....Zindgani Rahi Bhi Agar ... Yeh Naujawani Fir Kahan...

Getting back to Job ...

Coming back to the corporate life has been eventful .... It's like a love-hate relationship ...

Pros -

- I am getting money to save for my Coffee Shop
- Travelling is easy because of the money coming in
- I have started Piano classes because of having a routine now
- I am making new friends and still catch up with old ones
- I get to socialize more

Cons -

- If there is one thing that I am missing ... It's Peace...
- I hate the feeling of going to office
- I terribly miss being a nomad
- I miss the 'bag-on-shoulders' life
- I miss my photography
- I miss my motorcycling soooooooooo much
- I feel like I am a loser now...........
- I miss the mighty Himalayaaaaaaasssssssssssssssss
- There are just not enough leaves to meet friends far away
- I am changing from within ... I am again tempted towards "show-offs" ...branded clothes, branded shoes, better car, expensive alcohol ...
- And the biggest ...... I am not content ... I always feel .. I want more ...



I so deperately wish to get 'done' with this stage of life and start with my sabbatical again ... and if there is one thing that keeps me going ... it's the feeling that today's suffering is going to get me my Coffee Shop tomorrow ...
