There are some inner feelings that flags for me the reality of life when returned to India…
How different would the real life be when we move? How close to what we have now or how far from what we have now will it be? What will be there as new that we will enjoy experiencing? What will be there as new that we might not feel comfortable with? While there may be a few things that we may want to ‘give in’ as part of this shift in life, wouldn’t there be some gains too that might make it what we want it to be, in long run?

To continue here is not a solution that I foresee because that’s not where I want to build a sustainable future…
There can’t be a hundred percent certainty; and the best possibility is to do it ‘as if’ everything is certain…; it sounds simple to advocate the principle of facing the challenges head on, and especially now I feel locked to the topics that I am training different groups… on the need to face challenges head on… on the need to act as if now… on the need to have the curiosity to do it… on the need to move away from the comfort zone… and this what I am experiencing now is one such challenge, one such resistance to move away from comfort zone, one such reluctance to act as if now, one such lack of curiosity to do it… and this must not be tolerated if the bigger dreams are to be achieved; these little valleys must be crossed to reach to the pinnacle of my dream… though it might look so high, the fruit of the efforts and the sacrifice is worth, because the sight from the top is different, the experience is worth striving for, and the result worth celebrating. Man, go through it… you just read about V.P. Menon and how he became an integral part of Lord Lois Mountbatten’s viceregal advisories…; your height shouldn’t be any shorter, Shahir; your accolades shouldn’t be any lesser. Go for it…
To make a good home is the primary objective; even if it is a small one now, if that can be redressed to reasonably look like and feel like the places we have lived before, and if we can make ourselves feel proud of the little abode we will find for ourselves, with the kind of engagements I am hoping to have for me in training, I think and believe that we will be reasonably OK. At home and at work, perhaps we should pay equal attention to quality, not quantity. Quality set up at home too is essential. Quality in everything we do… one time investments, but done in class. Simple, but elegant. This would perhaps cover a major concern, or in other words, this would lessen our feel of the change we may have to experience in comparison to the life abroad.
