When I left Joka, I was damm excited to start work at my first job! The last 2 terms at a B-school are decently chill - and so one definitely keeps looking for interesting work after a management school. Weeks, months passed by in a jiffy and here I am, having taken only 1 day of leave after 8 months of joining my first job! :) Every day, my day starts and soon its 9 am when I start preparing to rush off to Mahim. Life's become kinda monotonous. So I decided, chak de - i am taking a vacation for a week!
What do I intend to do in the vacation? I intend to do non-work! Let me define non-work for you - Probably non-work is about doing something creative, interesting, exciting which is outside work. It may still be in the sphere of the work you do, but for a different cause. For example, I intend to setup a few websites for my friends working in the social sector in this week. The social sector in India is promising - and I think social sector is the one which is going to make technology and its benefits accessible to the whole of India. In this context, one venture I must mention - and I shall do so on strat.in as well is Youth Venture. They invest in social startups started by people under 25 - ( when I heard this I realised for the first time that I d be 25 soon- sigh! ) I met one of their evangelists - Vipin last weekend and I must say - it was great to see his understanding of the social sector.
Another thing I intend to do is to read a book I have been wanting to read since ages probably. Let me write about the book when I finish reading. And yes, I intend to post regularly on magnifrisco and strat for the next 10 days!! 2009 has been superb all through and I thank all enablers (including Him) for that. May 2010 be as exciting too!
You looking at me?
