What's Going On: Procrastination and The Excuse

"I am still only in (not 'with') Evalueserve." Every time I wake up, I wish I were in a hotel room, shrugging the weariness from the last night's party and preparing for the day ahead - a typical morning for a high-profile executive. As the day would progress, however, I will think, "What's the use of this lifestyle, working far away from my family in this alien land. I was never a party animal anyways, and I felt comfortable only with my family and friends, living in a place where change comes very slowly. I don't know why I chose this lifestyle." 

These thoughts on the present and possibilities take me to only one place: nowhere.

Yes, nowhere I have gone in last several years.The excuse part, I have already mentioned. Now comes the procrastination part.

All the time, contrary to universal wisdom, I believe that time is in abundance and it's never too late to start a thing. (The funny part is that I am always the "busy" one amongst my friends.) This belief combined with a false sense of perseverance - I have been fighting to get admission to an MBA college since eternity - and a weakness called lack of concentration makes going nowhere permanent.

These two pillars, procrastination and excuses, might not have been that strong had I believed in society. But, build on a strong foundation of individualism - I never heed to any advice given by my family and friends - these pillars are very difficult to demolish.

So, I am waiting for the interlude between the present and the future that would read, "Animesh Srivastava did something."
