A Dilemma of Plenty

Phew! Yes, I know. It’s been more than two years since I last wrote here. Two long years during which I stuttered through a B School stint in Mahatma land and nevertheless, find myself in a similar job post it yet again! But is it that I never wanted to write one? Or is it that I never found the time? Well, it’s been neither really.  Why? Well, it could be attributed to the paradox of choice. (Note - Making simple stuff look more complicated, its what we learn at an MBA)

Yes, I was referring to the problem of having plenty to choose from. I have found myself wanting to write often on so many occasions over the past few months and yet one question would inevitably bring it to a screeching halt – “What topic are you going to focus on Sid? There’s such a plethora of topics you seem to be interested in!” Almost like a mother scolding her teenage son for not having the focus or the desire to pursue one particular interest. And the teenager with so many interests realizes that he finds the decision so tiring each time, he delays it altogether. I get that I am a teenager no more. But after some frenetic search and ambition to maintain a professional blog that went in vain, here I am back to my cozy little village (hello, anyone there?). Where I shall take the liberty write on anything be it Music, Marketing to Mickey Mouse or Mahendra Singh Modi.   

 

The world is not so fluid anymore. And hence the goal is not about sticking to a particular topic anymore. The goal is, errm - just to write consistently. And that really, becomes this ex-teenager’s desperate attempt, to solve “the dilemma of plenty”.
