Great post, Naush. And good reflections about not taking things personally. Very hard to do, but is a skill you can get better at. Don't you think?

Thanks John! It is hard indeed. The 'WHY ME?' bit is hard to come to terms with. In my experience, it gets better over time. What one needs is a solid support system in such situations I guess. That helps a lot!

Naushi, a great piece. Your talent for creative writing is still alive.

Candid and elaborative, let me give you a cold hard truth on being a corporate slave.

A slave is always dispensible, No matter how good he or she is. Work towards your own business, Something innovative and creative. Leave your legacy and not be a corporate slave. Don't forget our discussions at the tree house in mini golf on a nice cool evenning. Never give in Naushi. You go boy !

Thanks a lot! Haha...perhaps. I guess running your own business would come with it's challenges as well but you're right. It's definitely something to think about.

As for mini golf, lol. Many great memories associated with that place. Good old days :)!

Really admire your courage Naushi and the way you reflected on this journey. It’s not an easy ride, but then important is to be surrounded by people who encourage you and make the ride easy along the way. I’ve generally known you as a calm person and to see how you have managed to stay calm throughout this process tells a lot about you as a person. All the best with the journey forward and really good way to also send out encouragement and thoughts to others. There is so much self reflection in your writing which gives readers so much food for thought so thank you for this!
