I don't have many theories about life - but one thing I do agree with. If you stay in a place too long, you stagnate. You will start to mould, like old cheese.
That's why it's important to keep moving. To introduce change. To shake things up a little.
In the beginning, it'll take time to adjust. I remember when I joined my first position, we had no working computer, there was shaggy carpeting on the floor and the dirtiest curtains imaginable. It was just difficult getting everything in order.
In the next transfer, I had no fax machine, no photostat machine. But funnily enough, I went for a holiday to the US and bought a new laptop. And when I came back, my office gave me one as well!! So I was stuck with two laptops from having none!!
I separate their uses - one is at home and one is at office. Helps divide the work as well.
But ofcourse, I digress.
So I make it a point to go on at least one trek a year. To go once a week to Lodhi gardens, my favourite place in Delhi. To try and catch the latest exhibition at NGMA. To read about issues that interest me. To take up new projects and complete them. To take up at least one book a month.
To live and explore a little bit more. After all, we only have one life to live.
And one should live.
