I spent a morning this week at the Indian Embassy and walked away inspired. Amidst the usual bureaucratic carnage, there was a linearity to the way it all worked that made me wish my life was so straightforward.
There’s just something about a process that asks you to show up on time, take a number, fill in your forms and wait your turn that’s both foreign and mindlessly refreshing compared to the circus of uncertainty, politics, protocol, and constant negotiation that has characterized my life over the past few months.
Some context for the reader:
About three months ago, I decided to resign from the wrong job (circus) in London (protocol) to find the right job (negotiation) somewhere (uncertainty) in Asia, and take a three-month sabbatical before starting it (thus my morning at the Embassy)
I’ve reached the point where I have a couple of options in hand only to realize that I’m much better at finding opportunity than I am at committing to it.
So instead of focusing on the decision at hand, I’ve chosen to start a blog – a decision I think characterizes me very well.
