After a long break

You might be wondering where the hell i had disappeared !! Sorry for delays .. I am back !!

Well I never want to make any article look factitious [ made up] . So was waiting for some incident that was really worth sharing , but again I nothing much great happening in life .  Now I understand why the sw guys get married soon … guess ?? Coz they dont want to be bugged only by bugs …

Well if u have folloed my blog you can easily say that of late I have developed an inclination towards civil services . But now the biggest challenge  is choosing the right path .

Path 1

In the current scenario , I am comfortable .. earning enough to feed my family [ though I dont have one] .. My moms all time dream is to build a big [ double] bedroom house . I am in the position to fullfill it .At present my house id divide .. In a 30*40 plot we have a small house behind and another house in front .. But we cannot join them .. as it wont give the right look !! So I can purchase this from my dad for 30L( the housing loan) and build a house .. [ good duplex one in 20L] and purchase a site for 10L . . . The EMI is 1k / L so have to pay 30K towards the house ..N everythings fine .. In another 5 years .. I can sell off the site … which would be atleast 15-16L .. n the EMI would have easily accounted for another 10L .. SO will be left with some small loan to get away with . So in 5 yrs I would have built a house and would have bought a car .. N hey I would be 27 – 28 SO will eventually marry .. Have kids .. voila the perfect normal life …. Should I settle with this ??

Path2

Leave the job for a year and join Vajiraman for civil services . Give a full hearted attempt . If I clear then good I ll get a pay of 14 K .. but ll have lots of power n responsibilities , get transfered now and then , but have a satisfaction of doing something for my people . I dont know if my mom’s dream will ever get fullfilled of living in a double bedroom house . I would call this as a difficult path [ coz it takes lots of commitment from me ]

If I fail , I gotta search for another job and start back the rat race all again .  N the whole story continues …….

So I have to choose between path 1 and path2 … I am arguing hard on these ..  Hope ur view points ll help me out
