today is the first time i am blogging after nearly 4 years ,when i was in college i started a blog but lost track of it ,in any case it was not more than 1-2 posts ,i hope to remain a regular here ,the biggest thing now is that i am suffering from quarter life crisis or QLC as they put it ,
i have searched a lot about it on internet ,i must say i was surprised that so many people are going through exactly the same emotions and feelings no matter which country or region, etc they belong
various blog posts came including some of them from india but not many from actually
but i know that i am suffering from qlc and a higher degree at that too
basically what i think of qlc is that it is a condition in which one is not sure where exactly he/she is going or what is going to happen next ,whether the choices we have made were right or wrong or even the biggest thing whether we have made any choices et all :),ha ha ha
the last option holds true in many cases ,i think majority of ppl never get the courage to actually act upon the choices they may have got during their growing up years during 18-28
then they keep regretting what if what if ,
some times i think really how much time is wasted on thinking about opportunities which were not utilized when the time came to capitalize on them
now i am software engg ,i did engg. in cse,i was hell bent upon doing btech(cse) only i am really not sure why i was stubborn on doing ,but i did passed it with honours
then i joined gr8 indian IT industry where a lot of "innovation" is going on ,what i see from my observations over past few years that majority of s/w ppl are not happy in what they are doing in IT ,thats also a key reason for qlc in s/q guys

Who knows whether QLC is just a fancy term coined by people or not..But there certainly seems to be too many choices to be made and no clear direction!
ReplyDeletewhat a happy moment for me ,1st comment on my blog ever ,i think choices are very restricted actually ,i ll write about it some time
ReplyDeleteInteresting post.. My experience is that most of us ask ourselves the question "what do i really want to do in life" very late. More often than naught, our choices are based on what we see others doing and what our family wants us to do. And gradually we start to believe that those are OUR choices.. For example, i know so many people who joined the software industry long time back, because it was "hot". Eventually some of them realized that maybe it was hot but not what they liked doing and could do all their lives.. But because they had invested a lot of time and money in it, they did not explore other options.. But i guess that's what life's about.. making choices
ReplyDeleteHere's a quote from an article on QLC that i once read: "What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. "
