the grass is not greener on the other side

one of my friends came back from the states a few days back.he completed his post graduation from the u.s. he's now employed with an internally known accounting firm .earning at least 5 times of what i do , if not more........

a lot of people would assume that this is the best life could have......
but hey.... just give it a SECOND thought

getting up at 6 in the morning.no one but your friend to exchange the morning pleasantries.do some exericse(optional) prepare your breakfast.....
get ready.... set ... and go... hectic day at the office.... reports ... client meetings.... a lot of travelling.

then come home at eight... dead tired. wait ....the day's not over yet. you will have to make your own dinner( unless you are married) , do your own dishes. then go off to sleep.the same cycle repeats the next day.

Weekends will be a bore if you are someone who doesn't enjoy clubbing.....drinking beer is a habit one has to cultivate.....it's like drinking lime juice in india.

Absolutely impossible for someone like me who's attached to his family(comes before money),can't eat anything but vegetarian( loves spicy food), does not have the habit of clubbing/drinking , loves to talk to people,

The only saving grace is the savings at the end of the year... which is HUMONGOUS...
SAVES FIVE YEARS OF YOUR WORKING LIFE IN INDIA.....
AND AFTER A STAY OF AROUND 6 YEARS OVER THERE, THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO LOOKING BACK AND NOTHING TO STOP YOU.


SO WE SEE THAT THERE IS A CLEAR TRADE OFF.


YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE " CAREER " OR " SOCIAL LIFE "
