Being nowhere yet everywhere

Had left the organisation I had been working for, in first week of january and had been attending some gatherings to charge myself. Past couple of years have drained me significantly, when I look at myself, I find having aged more than 10 years or so in 3-4 years. However, age increased in terms of experiences and understanding of life as well, though not as much.

Working in closed and artificially cooled environment, lack of sufficient fresh air, sufficient dose of sunlight, most of the time sitting in front of idiotbox (aka computer) etc. has had a very bad effect on health even affecting mobility of joints. Good that I reduced usage of mobile around 2 years back, since I realised that initial usage of mobile has had effect on my memory also, apart from giving me headaches these days when I use it for couple of minutes. Headaches are also caused by earphones as well. I wonder when people with headphones on, play so lound music that sitting couple of meters away from them, it is clearly audible to me.

Anyways, now I am out of it and can be close to nature and take care of my health and recover as much as I can before taking on another job. I haven't applied anywhere yet. Many people have asked me how could I leave a well paying (well is a relative term and it's meaning varies from person to person) job just like that, w/o ensuring next job at hand? Simple reason is that, I just wanted to relax, to be nowhere for some time and not having any thing on head about joining one place or other.

I don't know, what I will do next? I won't mind even change of profession. Will look for job as a freelancer/consultant s/w developer in future, though I know that not many companies have faith in themselves to venture into work relationships like that and it might be a bumpy road ahead. Though I would like to not work in computers all the time but explore other aspects of life as well. Let's see how it all works out. I have faith in God, whatever happens, happens for good. I have seen this goodness in couple of cases very closely in my life.

Should be back in pune by month end and then would first polish my homepage and then use that as a portal to look for work and people, working with whom could be fun and invigorating rather than draining, a change in life. I expect things to take time to work out as I wish for future, but one thing or other would start working out by april, when I start on it.
