26/11 new beginnings

26/11 is a historical day in India but not for any worthy reasons. It's on this day our financial capital Mumbai faced one of the worst terrorist attacks in Indian history. It the darkest days in country's history.

I got associated with this date personally when I took my joining date in Accenture Strategy - TSA team as 26/11 last year.

 It has its own story of postponing the joining twice and then finally joining on 26/11.

But what's remarkable is how my journey shaped up in this year. I started on a very low note as I was leaving behind some good friends and some very virtuous mentors. It was a change of place as well. In heart, I was not feeling right at all but then I was going ahead with the flow as once in my life I had this desire to work in Accenture Strategy. The beginning wasn't so favourable frankly. Almost every month I had this thought- why did I join? Was it worth at all? What more did I get? I was anyways getting good opportunities and had built good reputation. Then what was the need to start all over again from -1. Pandemic added icing on the top as there was hardly any interactions without work with the folks in the team and therefore, minimal chance to make new friends. Also, first year in my consulting career when I had not travelled anywhere. Of course, that’s valid for almost everyone this year.

 Now, when I have completed an year with cribbing. I realise it wasn't so bad that I made it because of unnecessary moaning. Infact, so many good things

I made few friends if not many and have excellent people working with me. There had been immense learning and I see splendid opportunities to grow.

 Essence of sharing my feelings: Its totally up to you how you feel about any changes happening in your life. You might feel pleasant about it and make things better off for you or might feel regretful about it and make things worse for you.
