executive summary - may
Posted by mansoor on 01 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: lifes anomaly's
Lately, i’ve been bogged down with too much happening. So much so, that when i actually sit down to write, i cannot put them in words. What should i write about, which issue is more important, write one post, or write them in seperate posts…
The number of questions which surface are directly proportional to the amout of confusion running rampant in ones life. (I dont know if this was quoted elsewhere and google also didn’t come up with any results, so i expect to be quoted on it).
So today, i think i’ll start from the start of this month, and atleast try to write a summary of whats been going on. I’ll put it in bulleted points so its easily readable (I’m such a helpful soul, aren’t i).
- I’ve been sick quite often, sick of work, sick of my room, sick of my city, and most importantly, sick medically.
- I was admitted to PNS Rahat for four days while the docs ran tests to confirm what was wrong with me.
- I’ve been diagnosed as having high blood pressure at age 25! Major lifestyle changes were obviously to follow.
- I’ve started exercising and eating a bit more of the ‘healthy’ stuff.
- I had a meeting in lahore, afterwhich i took an extended leave from the office and went to islamabad.
- I celebrated my birthday in Murree! We stayed at this place called Punjab Hut, which is between murree and bhurban. Amazingly beautiful place.
- While in Lahore, i got a job offer.. which was good seeing i needed a change of pace. It looked good, and after a lot of thinking, i accepted it. I start there from the 15th of June.
- I now have to wrap up my life in karachi, and get a new one in lahore. Thankgod for a couple of friends there because of whom i can still relax a bit. Small things are left, like transporting my car to lhr, getting accomodation etc. No biggies.
- When i came back to karachi, i expected my current boss to do either of two things, 1) up my salary or 2) bid me farewell. What he did, however, totally blew my mind and i’m again in the process of thinking. You see, not only did he propose to ‘up’ my salary, he’s giving me an opportunity of a lifetime! More on that later.
- I’ve missed the deadlines for two applications i was preparing myself for the last couple of months because now, they just dont ‘feel right’ at this point. As usual, after the deadline passed, i’m filled with regret and self doubt.
There you! A 10 point summary of my life in the last month. Esentially, each and every point atleast deserves a post, while some deserve even more than one.. but oh well, such is the way the river must flow.
wow… and you were saying, that you coudn’t put it in words.
Because you took the effort to put your life of the last month in a 10 point summary to make it readable for us. The least i can do is to give a reaction of all of ur points. S here i go.
1. Think most people have that syndrome; Get well soon.
(Yoga)
2. docs and test.. and you as humanproof. not a nice picture.
3. high blood pressure at age 25!.. breath in, breath out..
4. now to make it a lifestyle;
5. hope u had a nice time there.
6. Happy birthday (again)
7. that explains a lot of your blogs on the changing subject;
8. thank god he sent friends in ones life;
9. O’ men ur boss, made things complicated. But it’s great to have choices(or can’t i say that).
10. Don’t have to much regrets & self doubt. U know why you have done thing your way.
See it on the bright sight. Atleast things are happening in ur life, that you can blog about.
Take care

Blood pressure…you need to relax a lot. Not easy to do, but when health comes in you have to.

tanzila: so sorry about that… but well.. there were mitigating factors about me announcing.. so i thought i’ll announce it later. and thanks for the belated b’day.
hey if you actually go ahead with the job offer in Lahore, it’ll be great for you BP. Lahore is kind of “simta hua” so you spend lesser time travelling and all the khwaari khi is composed off.
