I missed writing here, i was just checking and its been a month and 8 days exactly since i got here. I was just reading that last post and MY soo much has changed since then.
Life has only gotten better. For those of you who haven't heard me screaming and doing a happy dance, Yes i got the job with one of the big four in the finance world hence right now my MBA plans are on hold at least for a year.
The transaction from being a student to a "working person with responsibility" has been smooth except for minor glitches here and there. I could not have asked for anything better from my employers, i havent been thrown at great speed into anything, YET. Training to assignments everything has been happening at a very comfortable pace.
So yes life is good, i have nothing really to complain about today :)
But i do need a list of books to read and a decent playlist. My journey to office is a good two hours, and most days im stuck between half sleeping and going up and down my Facebook feed.
While my life is getting into a peaceful routine i can't help but think about all that our world is going through. Everyday i open the newspaper it literally breaks my heart to see the stuff some of my fellow humans are doing. The Gaza conflict, first the MH 17 and now the Algerian flight.. Is'nt air travel supposed to be the safest?
Closer home in my country the scene is no better, still the same number of horrifying rape cases. And today's newspaper brought the news of a school bus accident where 14 little kids died and rest are just writhing in pain.
It makes me wonder where we are heading? There is so much violence and bloodshed around its almost as if we are getting used to it. That is even more dangerous than what's happening now.
I hope and pray that there never come a day where such things don't move us. But having said that i think we ought to do more as world citizens than just pray inside closed doors. I still belive the good in the world is more than all the bad. Th e only difference, they have united, we have not.
This calls for more that just candle light marches, wearing black in protest or putting up strong worded statuses, or for that matter even a blog post like this. We need to DO something. We need to MAKE it stop. We NEED to work towards peace.
So this is me, raising my glass to the action we are gonna take, anything big or small that will get us a step towards peace. Peace in our minds, peace in our homes. peace in our communities, peace in our countries and peace in our world.
You'd be surprised how many people stand with you when you decide to take the first step.
