Working from home for a change

Working from home for a change

When I first entered the corporate world, I had an extreme sense of energy. A thrill. An urge, to explore the beyond. To be someone who is known, who is regarded as the best in a certain field. Youth does that to you. 

A marriage changed me. Marriage is anyway a gamble. But when you marry an Indian army officer, it is an even bigger gamble. Why? Because you not only have to deal with your husband being away from you and in sensitive areas around the world...you have to face road blocks in every new place you visit. Jobs come. Professions stagnate. Especially when you are an army wife. 

This year, when I moved again, to a northern state in India I faced another challenge. My willingness to look for a job here turned into water. Why? Because of the extreme weather conditions here. It’s not just hot here, it is incredibly hot. Stepping out of the room is a sure way to get scathed. 

So, what would someone like me do in this condition? I decided to give “working from home” a shot. A 6 month deadline in which I should earn what I aim to. This will of course require loads of hard work and loads of determination.Plus getting used to making a home office. I've always been used to working out of an actual office, to me it's better. You need another place to focus on what you do for a living. Office life was therefore always fun for me.

But like every new thing in life, it’s a start. I have 2 companies that I already write for. Sitting in the confines of a new house here. Will I be successful in this new phase of my life? Honestly, not me but only time can tell.
