changes and decisions............

They say only change is constant...
well last time i wrote i was leaving college and now i am a working man. so much has changed during past year, gone are the days when you had the liberty to wake up late and do whatever you want...wear slippers all day long or sit all day long in a t-shirt and shorts, go to college dressed in anyway, and now i have to get up early wear formals all day and slippers are strictly when you have to use bathroom.
at first working in a company was a total new experience, one has monetary freedom you are totally independent no more eating "ganda mess ka khaana" or rather in words of my friend Boruah "swadisht aivm poshtik" food. When i was posted to udaipur my lunch used to be tiffin food in office and dinner usually at CCD then dinner slowly changed to eating at a place which serves thali and then for good 2 months every dinner was "eating out" at a restaurant or no dinner at all just some snacks and chips and maggi... all because even till date i don't have a gas connection even though i am entitled to a free one but then heck who should take the pain of applying for it.
till mid December job was almost 12 hours a day and it was damn tiring leave home at 7 in the morning and come back after 9 in the evening... then when the work load reduced engineering jobs came up which had to be done on Sundays (mines is a 6 days working location) and its petroleum industry so all hot work has to be done in non working hours... since me being the only bachelor and one from engineering background all this was entrusted to me... again even with lesser load there was no relief and i used to curse it everyday. And now when finally all these jobs have been completed and work load has reduced even further i have plenty of time which finally goes into sloppy and boring record making exercise and these routine jobs suck big time...
Now i wonder which one was better the 12+ hours working when i had no time to think of anything or the engineering jobs which felt like i was doing something which was atleast related to my qualification's background 'cause this routine job is not what i really want...
All these changes from one step to another happened and i wanted them to happen but now i don't know whether this change was for good or for worse.... its just like when you want to leave 10th class to go to 11th so that you have lesser boring subjects (read social science, biology, art, Sanskrit and Hindi language courses) or when you want to leave school for college or when you just want to graduate and go to another college for higher education or just start working and making big bucks cos now i sure as hell want to say that being in high school rocked.
Things keep changing and we seldom have control over them, although choices are given to us from time to time but do these choices really help or do they just make things harder for you???
