यह मेरा पहला हिन्दी पोस्ट है। पता नही क्या लिखू लेकिन मुझे कुछ न कुछ तोह लिखना ही है।
आज मेरे ऑफिस की एक और दोस्त ने छोड़ने की ठान ली है। hmmm.. ठान लिया है की पता नही लेकिन बोल तोह रही है। उसने तोह उसके बॉस से बात भी कर ली। ऐसा लगता है की एक दिन में इस ऑफिस में अकेले ही रह जाऊँगा। मुझे यह पसंद नही। मुझे भी यहाँ से निकलना है। मुझे भी किस्सी और कंपनी में जाना है। मुझे भी कोई अच्छा ऑफर चाहिए। कब आएगा वोह दिन।
बस, आज के लिए इतना ही। पाक गया में हिन्दी में लिखते लिखते। टाटा, बाय-बाय. सी यू।

Guess gaalis are best given in hindi.. hehe.. and by the look of how things are going, am gonna give a lot of gaalis here.. :)

Need a hike, desperately!
I've decided to post something here at least once a week. Let’s see if I can stick to this.
A while ago, I was discussing with a friend about an offer that she has got from another company. She is also taking up a housing loan like I already have. Our current salaries are almost similar and we kind of like a similar lifestyle. We like eating out at good places often. We like watching movies once in a while. We like travelling in comfort, i.e. by ricks or by car. The only difference is that she is married and I am not. While talking to her, I realized how difficult it is going to be for me to live the same lifestyle after a year or so.
I intend to get married in about 18-20 months from now. Currently, after deducting my EMI amount, I am left with a couple of thousand rupees to spare. I spend this amount for my luxurious commute to work, my lavish meals, and some outings with friends. Even at the age of 25, I haven't yet started footing my household bills. My dad takes care of it all. I only pay up the recurring loan installments.
My dad is due to retire in the next couple of years. I need to start taking on the household responsibilities soon. I am assuming my dad shells out about 25K a month on the household bills. I shell out 20K on the monthly installments. So, in a couple of years when I take on the household expenses too, my monthly outgoings would go up to at least about a cool 45K. 45K is way too much. I do not even have a CTC that amounts of 45K a month. How am I going to manage? To top it, I need to save. I need to save for my sister's wedding. I need to save for my wedding. This is way too much. I am scared.
With 45K to cough up every month, I will need to have a compensation of at least 50K from my company. Life’s difficult. I need to raise my expectations now. I’ve been telling consultants that I expect about 8lakhs if I jump to another company. But, now I am gonna raise this to about 8.5lakhs at least. With a CTC of 8.5 lakhs, I think I should have about 50K in hand at the end of each month. Wow! 8.5 lakhs. This is going to be a tough ask. It's going to be tough for me to find a good enough company that needs me to take up challenging work for them and are also ready to pay me what I expect.
When I say all of this, I am not scared. I am eager. Yes, there is a bit of anxiety inside of me but I know it is not fear. I am ready to face all the challenges that life has to throw at me. :) I am sure there's something good at the end of it all. Like they say, "If it's not a good end, it’s not the end." :) I have been reading a book off and on. One line in the book caught my attention: If you see it in your mind, you'll have it in your hands. All you need to do is know what you want, have a clear picture of it in your mind, and work towards it. You will end up doing it.
