“Only constant thing in this world is change”, said some one. I would add “difficult” to it.
All of us at some point or the other have experienced this phenomena and without realizing the fact that it’s there happening to us at all the times. For some this change is nothing but experiencing better times, accomplishing or achieving something that they ever wanted to, then change is nothing but a by product and takes little notice so as to say when “transition” is smooth. For others, it is a painful experience, pain for whatever they are going to loose and worry about future. Such people get in to future before time hence making present a past and in the whole process, present gets lost with one leg in past and the other one in future so rightly put by the dialogue writer of RDB.
For such people, “transition” is never smooth. Their could be many reasons for that, like not achieving what they always wanted to and worse getting in to something opposite if it. Then every moment, every action leads to nothing but struggle, struggle for next level, and struggle for keeping their stand firm even winds are against them. The whole change then looks like a monster then.
In my recent times, I have met and talked with both kind of people and I am still not sure about what to conclude. Though every one strives for best in their lives and eventually one always gets to a point where he/she more or less is satisfies in terms of the result of that change.
At this moment, one looks back and realizes the change was not that important. In fact what was more important than that was “transition” which makes one go under a process of change.
Like said some one and I firmly believe in that “It’s the journey that matters and not the destination”
Talking about my experience, the transition had rather been unsmooth. From changing school in 11th standard to graduation to a post graduation to a job now.
The transition from graduation to post graduation was rather the most unpleasing and unsmooth for me so far. Alien environment and top of that away from home for the first time made situation even worse. Before realizing the fun part and independence, it was a painful journey and the whole process was difficult for me to handle. I also firmly believe in “Whatever happens, happens for good”, hence today I look back and I realize that I learned a lot during the last two years of my PG.
Coming to the job, it’s totally a new experience what I would name it as an exponential change. The transition is still happening so I won’t comment on that however the life seems to be taking a completely new turn in a direction which is unexplored and less traveled as well. When I say less traveled, I simply mean that not many people used to prefer ‘Retailing” as a career option and hence the kind of responsibilities and working environment was unknown and now as being a part of it, it’s a mixed feeling of both hope, growth, fast track career and few points which didn’t impress me in the start like working on Saturday and Sunday, national off’s means being on toes and then being organized in this largely unorganized sector as in calling your office a “store”. But I believe these are few points which can be taken care of when I will complete my training and get to the next level and that would be the time when I will look back to realize the transition which had been pretty smooth so far apart from the fact that I have to wear formals which I hate
Situations change, people change, Govt. change, leaders change, players change, winners change … one thing that doesn’t change is change…. So if it is that integral part of our life… then lets hope I happen for good for everybody at every time!
