One of the many reasons im now in Singapore is i wanted to go home atleast this deepawali. like all my other wishes, it didnt happen. and this post is based on a colleagues words "as far as managers go, we engineers are only resources". true. so i think again... is that all? is there any use whatsoever making x times what you make in India? at the end of the day i can not even spend deepawali at home. should i be Chandler Bing, resign my job and get back? or do the usual: look at people in Somalia and stay happy? (why go to Somalia? there are so many people in the US who have not been to home for months together :D ) or our dude investment bankers, who dont get to go home everyday.
i think i know the answer... its called the pygmalion effect. (wikipedia for a better explaination), its cause of the pressure from the society. Deepawali is just 1 day, but my mom keeps telling people that im a BITS product and work abroad everyday and seem to derive pleasure out of it. and afterall thats my "wish" as well. somehow i dont want to do what the others do : smile for the community, wait for an idiot to fall for it, marry his daughter. still cant figure out tho, how i can be different...
think!
