It seems that people who do not have money...have peace initially and during the run for money begin to loose it somehow....
People who have money ...have to maintain the same or higher standard ....they also tend to loose peace..but somehow put up a brave front signalling that all is well
really difficult to say .....moreover ...there is not just career and relationship in life ...there are many other things which deserve attention at the same time....
In our parents time ppl especially women used to be very tolerant and patent which used to help to lead a good family now.Now with changing times, everyone is stressed up at work including women!It is creating a lot of family problems!
I try to keep all teams (home office) happy by starting off for work earlier by an hour and leaving right on time...i also make sure that everyone in the office is aware of my work habits(so that they dont feel that i shirk work), further with laptops around, i carry work home and get it done in the early mornings too.... that sort of takes care of most issues....
The only way you can strike the work life balance is by keeping your aspirations in check. Remember, it's not the fastest who is the winner but the one who lasts longest :-)
Look I work in a MNC with a 9 to 5 Job. Come home early in the evening. Take care of the children and help my wife in preparing dinner. Total family man. Holiday on Saturday & Sunday take family out for cinema & dinner. work pressure some times and not a major one. Each & every realtive worth a salt is envy of me. They say I do have lot of time at my disposal. I am sucessful in maintaining my family life. Whether I am sucessful in my career. Sorry, the guy who starts earning yesterday earns more than me. Thanks to service sectors like Banks, insurance cos & IT industry. Balnce vagera Kuch nahi Hota hai. only money spells success. if you earn money family will adapt on their own and enjoy your success. Just being a family man without any foreign vacation, LCD TV and big CAR u are no where.
in our mad zest for money and more money... everyone wants to live in only the metros... and hence, costs go up, as costs spiral up, the need for money rises... it is a never ending vicious cycle...
we have to decide... esp indians are too much stressed up, losing their personal life in their work...
ALL SHOULD REMEMBER - IT IS FOR OUR PERSONAL LIFE THAT WE ALL STRUGGLE, IF OUR PERSONAL LIFE IS IN SHAMBLES, WHAT USE IS OUR PROFESSIONAL LIFE?

It seems you have a problem in understanding written English. A well indicates problems. As such your first comment has a few bloomers in it. You say, "nearer to your office hardly 2 to 3 kms" ???? What does that mean. Are you writing first person or third person?

Anyway it is all about perception and how u see the things and how u balance ur career.
I think if we minimise the priorities then every thing would be alright

All are complaining about time. If you do not have time then why you are wasting your time in reading this article. This is for a person like me who has lot of time. Problem is how to kill the time !

How to kill time in office , seriously . This current structure where in you have to stay late in office just for the heck of it , coz ur boss is sitting , ur colleagues(they are also thinking same) are sitting not becoz u have work . Okay in some organisation and industry there might be a genuine case of overburden but in my 12 year of career , it was also "do nothing look busy syndrome" Upar sey they show ppt on "Work Life Balance", will bring in external counseller , will talk about energy saving , abbey time par ghar janey do . Jo sidha tarika hai woh tou follow nahi karna, bus in stupid HR walon koy ppt banani hoti hai .
