Reminiscing Pleasantries

One for the contrast with my blog title!!
Suddenly I am aging at a lightening pace!
For the last 2 or 3 weeks, I have had quite a bit of local travel and this gave me ample time to just mull over what I have been going through - consciously or unconsciously. Thanks to the airport and the associated drives, this had also been a period of quasi-break from my hectic schedule at work and some time for reminiscing. This is when I realized that for the last 8 months, I have had few good memories to fall back on. Incidentally, my last post on this blog was also 6 months ago!
Work..work..work...No space for anything else. Not that I didn't foresee a radical shift in my job profile from service delivery to pre-sales. But the quantum leap has indeed left a quite zapped. I am unable to catch up on novels/special readings that I so much enjoyed an year ago and of course the innumerable treks/outings that we managed on weekends. These days what I most dread about weekends is catching up on procrastinated work. All this was also a simple reflection of the fact that I am starting to lack that personal time that I cherish the most - to just ponder over life and try to make it a bit exciting.
Frankly, these are no qualms about the exciting work and the drive it brings along. But am lost when I have to think AT WHAT COST? Where do great minds draw a line (a thick unambiguous one!!) and say that is it?
I am damn sure the world out there has lot more wisdom than the one just writing this. So starting a heated debate on a blog that has been slumbering for a while is the best way to rejuvenation.
May the pearls of worldly wisdom make me wiser (and the greedy me also says richer)!
