C : Buff? Ok...in my comp engg days, we used to call it buffing up things...

Z : (nodding my head)...oh k...you are a computer engineer??

C : (shrugs) umm...yeah...but then MBA ruined everything!

Z : (raises eyebrows)...you are an MBA??

C : (nods head in a weird way)...well, yeah...but you know, 5 years of corporate life wiped it all out...

Z: (eyebrows still raised)...you’ve worked 5 years??

Dazed

At times I'm a little lost. Something is on in my mind, but I have no clue what it is. Moving ahead becomes difficult coz something is holding you back. Restlessness and anxiety take over.

A Mid-Life start – Down Under – Part 1
