An answered QUESTION...

Indifferent to my norms, this write-up isn't the sorts where I get the first line at random which then pricks me to write some nonsense. Today I faced an unexpected question from my Line manager and since then it is bothering my conscience. Like I mentioned in my previous outing, the Void that I experience by not being in the creative field has always been a digging truth of my life.

However not so indifferent is my actual take on life and my current profession. What I do for a living is not my obvious choice, but then I'v had very little scope to experiment and slow my pace down - A privilege only open to people with white skin I suppose. When I first started working on my new job, I belonged to that conventional brigade, where one is always up for grabs on anything to prove his mettle. Not that after working for sometimes has had a demotivating effect on me. But Mr. DM's question this evening has made me realise that a thing called SMILE is amiss from the topography of my face. I was thinking of things to set the contours right on my face and with good reason I found some leads.

Surprisingly I feel more than confident now, that though the thing I do may not interest me, but am grateful to God for making me do it with full honesty. I am glad that others appreciate me enough to keep me moving irrespective of the emotional downfall. I'm lucky that people around me had very limited complains to pull me down. I remember Ian's gesture when he said, that you really have an opportunity to prove yourself, by taking up a thing that is not your own and making it your prowess in due time. Though it may sound a routine gimmick, but I believe having taken it with a pinch of salt, I know how it tastes.

No matter how tough the going is, you can sustain and endure until a little thing called HOPE resides within. On a closing note, I'd quote a text from the letter of Andy Dufresne (of the Shawshank Redemption fame) "Remember HOPE is a good thing, perhaps the best of things and no good thing ever dies" So here I'd like to keep the fire alive and why not, that is the only reason I read a lot of books on advertising. It really keeps me connected with what I want in life...
