Do I love my job?

I love Adventure.

I love trekking and hiking, that is long physical hard work.

I love to climb rocks, that’s where I plan my every move in unison with my body weight.

I love bicycling, that’s where I fall if I lose my mind.

I love to cross the river in a pully, that is when my own force pulls my own weight.

I love rafting, each rapid gives me an adrenaline gush.

I love diving into the sea, that’s where I feel submerged and fight for the breath.

I love cliff jumping, that’s when my breath stops but I hear my heart beating loudly.

I love para-sailing, that is where I rise above and enjoy the nostalgia.

I love to explore different geographies, that’s where I shed my mind and imbibe others’.

I love to randomly backpack, and acknowledge what’s coming in.

I am an Image Manager for my company, a PR person for the media fraternity or a Communication Consultant to please myself. I feel all the above emotions in my job… and more.

I didn’t like my job until I saw it from the other side. I am in for an adventure every day.

While the week starts with a past week regression and future prophecies; any of the day could have deadline based tasks similar to the reality shows – Team or Solo coupled with an impromptu news of 2 hours of additional trekking. Once a week or maybe twice as surprise I’d have to go rafting or jump the cliff.  Well, eating a frog with the monthly reports is part of my job too and that’s when it gets sick.

I am usually a backpacker at work prepared for an upcoming malady. Despite my preparation God does wish to play a lot of treasure hunt with me. I fight crisis, as problems are bestowed upon but are not mere repercussions. I trudge different terrains more often in a day delivering equally to each, learning subtle nuances on the way. I do feel a Bear Grylls in me those moments. 

There is always a thrill and suspense in my daily work. I now see it in an optimistic spirit seeking a creative solution tangible or verbal unlike before when I used to crib to others.

It’s all in my day’s work and I love my job.
