My Professional Life

I love my work. I love my job. I love my office.

Not many people feel the same way for their professional life. The only person whom I could remember saying this to me ever and who still says it is my brother. This is my first job—technically! Literally, I had joined some three companies before joining here but I consider this as my first job. I started my job a little late. Most of my friends, actually almost all of my friends have done Engineering. They studied for 4 years and got a job instantly. So, when they started working, I was still studying for my PG. After that, I got this job after a full one year. That means when I started the job, my friends had already made money for the last two years. None of them was happy. I could not hear from even one of them that they were happy with their job. Each one of them had some grudge against the work/company. I used to think of this as a generic rule in the corporate world, that you cannot be happy no matter what you do. But then again I saw my brother, who was very happy with his job. He never even once thought about leaving it. I wanted such a job, where I could feel like going to office each day, to do something productive, and to enjoy a new day at office. Fortunately I have got this job where I feel at peace. Today, I am writing this because today I have completed my six months in the company. For me it is a big achievement because I have never completed six months in a company. I threw a party yesterday—a small one but a good one. I am calling it good because I enjoyed it thoroughly. I loved the experience and it would remain in my memories for years to come. I was happy because of two things—I completed 6 months and I got outstanding performer of the month award a few days back. I called everybody who asked me for party, meaning everybody who was happy at my success. In total there were 11 people and I am very casual with everybody except one. Everybody enjoyed the food and I just love to organize things. It makes me happy. I was excited and I still am. It was a casual party and I think I did not let anybody down. All in all, I enjoyed it and I would love to throw similar parties more frequently.

In the evening, I was having a chat with one of my great friends at office. I was telling him how much I am thankful to be a part of the company. It is just like how I had dreamed it to be. The people, the kind of work I do, the atmosphere, the work culture, and most important the people. Ya, I know I am repeating it but that is the soul. I am being loved here. I don’t know what does that mean on professional front but I can feel I am being loved here. This does not mean that the company depends on me—I never think that ways. I am not that important for the company but my company is damn important for me and I do not think of leaving it either. I am not saying I won’t leave it ever but I do not see myself switching jobs in the near future.

I am content and that is all that matters!
