Change and Time- they never stop…



As minute as a particle, as big as the Sun, something that is destined to continue, it is Change. How often are we able to adapt to it? We do or we don’t, nothing changes to change. People change themselves to make it up to it, some find success but some succumb. The world has been the same, the weak bow down to the mighty and will continue to do so.


A month back, I relocated from Bangalore to Gurgaon. It was the biggest change in my life so far, rather I should say my stable life. A new place, a new company and a new set of people around. Sounds intriguing but here’s what is not so intriguing. Coming out of your comfort zone which I referred as the stable life, you leave behind a house you called home for 2 years, a city you explored on your own makes it no less than the city where you grew and played on streets, the unknown roads you flew your bike all night, the friends you made in the strange world that became family and gave them a hard time from your craziness and a lot more small things that bring happiness to your life.

But that was not the only thing that was the part of it, moving to a new place, what a pain it can be. Not to mention I was not only changing cities but also I changed my organisation from Wipro to Accenture. Here again the comfort zone was left far behind. A difference of a mere day but the change was huge, I felt I was again on the starting line of the race I had almost won. From a place where people had confidence in you and your capabilities to a place where you need to market your skills and capabilities.

It is said time heals everything. No matter how big the change is, it is a matter of time that we the humans are able to adapt to it and work our way around it. Talking about me and the two major changes I went through, and I am sure it’s just a matter of time until I get the same feeling here in Gurgaon and Accenture. That’s the way I live my life, I find happiness no matter how hard the road ahead.

Change may be mightiest and Time may be mightier than the mightiest, but be the one to follow your path no matter what the time or how big the change.
