Voiceless

It all went off really well, actually speaking. Except for one major disaster _ I totally and completely lost my voice for a couple of days _ those couple of days when we had the b'day party and the sahasranamam.

A really bad viral infection meant that not only was my throat swollen and painful, my voice box jammed up. With the result taht I could only manage whispers, and even that was painful.

Still, it was a very busy and very enjoyable weekend. (july 15/16/17).

******************

But, still can't keep hoping that I will get my loud and obnoxious voice back _ God wouldn't be that cruel to me, for how else will I keep the kids in place?

******************

The single biggest casualty of my new job _ my blog!!! Can't seem to find a couple of minutes even, most days, as the job is so full of interesting things to do, I cannot stray away even into my blog. But still, I'll do my utmost.

All of which brings me to one thing!! Why on earth didn't I veer away from my misguided journalistic path earlier! A wasted 6 years....Blessed are those who love the job they are doing. As for a career change, why ever not? The whole idea is to get out of your comfort zone and do something newer and better.....

A nasty voice in my head whispers to me that maybe, just maybe, I am rushing it. Enthusing too much. After all, it's only been a month-and-a-half in the new job and it is still the honeymoon period.

Nah, I am living for the minute. At this point of time, this is how I feel. Good enough for me and my blog.

I think part of the problem in trying for so long to get a "journalism" job is that we (I include myself) have been conditioned to think that anything else would be "less" - not "different", or "fulfilling" or even "interesting"... just less. I'm glad to be out of that mental prison :) Glad you're enjoying your job - 1.5 months at your new job is twice as long as I've been in mine, and I certainly am having fun! You're more than entitled to have fun at yours, Gee :)

Shyam,

You've hit the proverbial nail bang on its big fat head. At least, in your case and mine, late is better than never!!
