This is what u feel

%u201COh God! I am stressed!, %u201CNo time to look for other work%u201D, %u201CMeeting today is impossible for me%u201D, %u201CWe can meet at the end of the month%u201D, %u201CI will die if I work for 2 hours after office%u201D, and so on%u2026%u2026.

These words are not from any film or play, nut from our very own office colleagues and the over all working class in India.

Have you thought about the impact of the increasing office work on our health and also on out family life? Why do we tend to run after money at the cost of our health and family life? The answer to all these questions lie, probably, in the present structure of our employment and mindset of the working class.

Today, the working class leaves for office at around 8.00am (average). Before leaving it has to complete the household work. So, it wakes up at 5.00am everyday. It the reaches office at 10.00am. It works until 7.30pm everyday. Leaves office for home and reaches by 9.00pm. Now its very much exhausted. Again household work, Dinner and it goes to bed at 11.00pm. Again the same story continues the next day. So here, it gets hardly 7 hours of sleep.

Now, you must have realized that there is hardly anytime left with the working class for itself, parents, children, etc.

So what has the working class gained? Only few bucks of money? Can the money but for them the time they deserve for themselves and other activities?

The only way out of this tedious and ruining routine is, to have a Re-

I completely agree with you.In my case my day starts at 6 and ends at 12.00(including 4 hrs travel) as I me and my spouse also have to look after the kid when we get back from work.
However "only few bucks of money" is not a correct statement.what else could we do? get a lesser paying and less stressful job? I dont believe there is such a thing now-a-days.and living in a costly city like bombay we need all the money we can make.There is childrens education,parents illness,insurance policies,investments,house, car etc to be planned.These things may look materialistic but the fact is we need them, if not now then in the future.A commonly occurring operation like bye-pass needs at least 3.5L, where do we get that kind of money?
So the basic funda is - either slog in whole life and lead a stressfull but comfortable life, or be relaxed all your life and dont provide adequately for your parents,kids,spouse (I doubt you would be relaxed even in this case!)
I dont think people living in metros have a choice.If you dont do the job then somebody else will.So keep on slogging stressfully ever after

proffessional life v/s personal life
by Prashant Ghatnekar on Jun 13, 2007 11:34 AM  Permalink 

I think it is relative term. One must concetrate on proffessional life but personal life can\\\\\\\'t be ignored.At work you have to create systems so that in your absence work can go on smoothly. In today\\\\\\\'s technology whereever you are you are easily accessable.We should not foreget that proffessional life and personal life are two sides of same coin.

Personal Life is More important- by Jaspal
by Jaspal Dehal on Jun 13, 2007 11:30 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Everybody in this world has 24 hours in a day, it all depends how you are planning it. The best way is to make a balance between Personal and professional life. I completely agree that professional lie is important, but what will you do with all success and all money if you don't have goods personal life. Look around there are so many successful person but they have really bad personal life. One should spend some time with his/her spouse everyday, with each child. One should communicate openly with them, should try to understand what they are doing, their priorities and their future planning, their problems. Communication is the key to make the balance.

One should call atleast once from the office to know about his life partner and the kids. One should spare some time may be on weekends to watch movie together and have some quality time together. God has given us this life to enjoy it completely. All people who are associated with us are also our responsibility and we should give them the due respect and time but definitely not at the cost of professional life. If you will give it a try, it is always possible to make a balance.

Dear Jaspal I fully agree with the statement provided by you. Being bussy in the profession can create a lot of problems in the personal life. That's true. I think the small moments spend with the family members can be bundle of joy instead of waiting for weekly, monthly or religous occasions

Professional Life is prior than persoanl
by sri bhimineni on Jun 13, 2007 11:15 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

I strongly felt that the professional life is always having first prioirity than any other so you had studied well and hard than anyone else. Regarding personal life, yes it is too having the simialr priotity but not much than professional. In personal life, if you make any sort of mistakes, everybody who are part of your personal life can easily forgive you but in professinal life, there are always a few people like your boss, your client(s) etc... who can not tolarate your mistakes. So I think, even though it is looking like your job is suffering your personal life, you need to plan it for not to caught in such circumstances. Am I wrong?

Hari.

Whether jobs comes first or family...I think if you dont have a job you will not get the spouse you are looing for. So job comes first. But, unfortunately, there are some spouses who forget the importance of their counterparts' job after the marriage. They rather start priortising their personal lives which causes the job to suffer and the carrier too. On the other hand ourpose of job is also fulfilling personal life. SO there should be a balance. But, I feel, the job should not over exploit a person, rather it should allow one to grow so that he/she can enjoy family life nicely.

Well I believe the opposite. One needs to develope carreer at the same time one needs to develope family also. I cannot ignore the desires of my family (my wife and children) when they need me the most. Well it has to be balanced. We can work hard at our office and spend time with our family also. It just needs some positive attitude and self desire. Family is a place where we shed our tiredness and therefore after a long work in office, some few minutes of fun with our children and other family members can be quite refreshing.

I strongly believe that personal life is more prior than professional life. If you have the talent and skill you can survive anywhere. But if you do mistakes in personal life, the relationship built will be carried on throught out the life time. Mistakes are forgiven but if that also reaches extreme point....the relationship is completely broken..

Its very simple, someone said - "Cleanliness begins at home" - similarly, if you dont know how to balance personal life and work, I guess you will never learn to be a successful executionist.
