Downfall needs no explanation!  Still it may have different meanings for different people. Whatever you wish in your life is not necessarily served to you. It might have happened with everyone, that many a times your hard work goes in vain, the destiny overtakes the hard work.
I was an unfortunate asshole, as my destiny was against me and I didn’t do any hard work too. It all started when I left my 9-5 job from a renowned automobile company in Gurgaon. I had some business plans closely aligned with my family, i.e. I had a plan to kick-off my ancestral business i.e. building construction. Coming back to Indore from Gurgaon was the main motive, as the organization for which I worked was working 6 days a week. Long weekends were a nightmare for us and on all such long weekends, I used to visit my family, as I had a strong attachment with them. Everything was in a perfect shape in this form, except the leave and attendance policies.

It was quite clear to me that coming back home has its own perks as well as constraints. It was obvious that I would have to change my lifestyle as per my family and new place i.e. Indore. It was the toughest time for me as I suddenly had no people around me, what I used to have in Gurgaon, simultaneously I had my family to support me to digest this fact, that life is not going to be same. I was learning to live a new life. It was a big transformation as generally people move from cosmopolitan to metropolitan. But for me this has no meaning as after a year’s stay in Japan, everything in India tasted more or less, same.

As the time passed, I was getting lots of signs that misfortune had more inclination towards me.  The finance plan on whose basis I had quit my job, failed within a month after leaving my job i.e. 7-Nov-2015. Obviously, it was something which shattered me from my core. I tried my best to retain the finance plan, but it wasn’t in my hands, it slipped off. I was jobless, useless and depressed.

Living without a job and facing relatives and other people wasn’t a tough job for me, but the directions from the family were again surprising for me. I was strictly told not to disclose that I am jobless, and even if someone knew about it, I was asked not to argue. Isn’t it too tough!  But you have to maintain such discipline, when you are with family. With all those family values, I was losing my value.

Then came another surprise! The company in vicinity of Indore, where I had applied for a job way back in August-2015, called me up for an interview. My profile was referred through my father’s friend, who was an ex-employee of this firm. I was called for interview on 19th January-2016. The interview went well and I was assured by the interviewer that I was through in the technical round and now rest depends on my HR interview.

Next round happened on 13th April and I got a confirmation that I have been selected for the job I applied for. I was overwhelmed with joy. Along with my dear friend Rupesh was also interviewed, and he also got selected. The joining came very late and after several follow-ups with HR by Rupesh. We joined the organization formally on 6th June 2016. It was a blessing in disguise, getting a job, when the world is behind you asking for your whereabouts. As a customary post, a life event was uploaded on Facebook. Everyone congratulated me on this, I received lots of calls. Everyone was happy including me too.

This phase gave me a learning that a human being has no value, instead it’s the money in his pocket, what actually matters. The rat race began again, and the guy who was running away from the 9-5 jobs, was caught in a 9-5 job again.

Staying positive and staying with the flow is what we have been taught for the life. Actually it is good. But still I am unable to accept this. What I got served after this turbulence, is an achievement in people’s eyes, but form me its downfall!

Dream ended! Yes it’s a Downfall!
