The professional life is going on as usual. Reaching the office by 8.30, meeting people, responding to numerous emails, answering numerous phone calls, attending regular and adhoc committee meetings...the list is long. You come out at around 5.30 completely drained out only with enough energy to take the better half for a very short stroll. You are left with just enough time to check your facebook, run through twitter and few blogs blogs and watch TV news before retiring for the day. These daily chores keeps me away even from thinking and reflecting about other important aspects of life.The academic life has come to a halt let alone any creative work such as writing. The little cravings left for some basic research and writing is suppressed hard. Amidst this I often have started thinking if this is what I should continue doing the remaining part of active life or is there something else still waiting for me to do!! Should I follow my heart and relocate somewhere and lead a different and more exciting life? Is that life going to be different from this one?
I think this is what is being at a crossroads of life or just being in dilemma. I hope to come out of it soon - a new and fresh beginning for the next 10 years!!
