Identity crisis: As I am moving forward in life, there are two things which I am feeling more and more deeper…[At this point there is some issue with my website editor, will redesign this later or maybe not. Most important for me is to write.]
- Identity crisis – when I moved from Daund town to Pune in 2007 for studies, I also left behind my friends, neighbours and town people. In 2015, my parents also moved to Pune. What this meant is, our sense of belongingness is now a question mark ‘?’. In Daund where my parents spent 50 years +, they had people around who identified us as the ‘Oswal’ family. In Pune, there are more people, but less of identification. Our identity is lost and it would take time for us to build something of that sort. For instance, I have worked in companies with 150-200 employees and each one knew me. It felt like family. While on the other hand, I also worked in company having more than 2000+ employees, and hardly 15 people knew me. I would always felt lost in it. This brings me to an important point, being a “Small fish in a big pond vs Big fish in a small pond!” Both has its own pros and cons. Who am I to compare, all I am currently struggling with is identity crisis. I do not have friends whom I can rely on [Is that a problem? I am not sure. Just a feeling that I should have one]. I do not have friends who would crash on my place or vice versa. I need to work upon this issue and all I can share is “Its WIP…”
- As of now I forgot the second point. But soon when I remember I will share here or maybe in some other post…
I just remembered the second point that I wanted to write and share. I like this thought, “The more you write, the more universal it gets!” We all struggle with similar issues. It is more about breaking the puzzle down into smaller pieces. Then you realize, we all are mortals, we all struggle. It is more about opening yourself to everyone. So I am planning to open myself to rest of the world and make each one of you as my family.
To be continued…
