HUSTLE – I realised this is never ending in my life, either I seek it or it had to happen.
As I said, yes finally picked up some freelance projects and trying to get the survival mode again but definitely a lot went into it in the last two months and may be its worth it.
Feeling of being overstayed at friend’s homes (it’s only me who is feeling that way though) to the expensive commute – got me into thoughts how having a remote forever kind of job and being in my hometown Visakhapatnam is a bliss to save money. However, I would always choose a challenging one and getting out of my comfort zone kind of things so yeah started taking buses and felt really so cool how well they are connected just that we don’t do such things anymore unless its required wala feeling.
No matter what, stars are being aligned or my bad phase is over – slowly things are getting better (touchwood don’t want to jinx it though).
Today as I write this blog just realised how somethings you don’t plan and it forms pattern but we only realise it later after few events happen.
I have been so lucky and privileged to be part of a great corporate workshop and then I realised the pattern which is all my first best things in art happened with my Telugu only. To name it:
My first voiceover was in Telugu
My first dubbing was for an ad in Telugu
My first ad which made me feel like a star was in Telugu
My first corporate theatre workshop is in Telugu (which I completed few days back and returned just now)
Also, manifestation or the word “THADAASTU” really works when you least expect. I left corporate in December 2022 and my parents were so worried that I am doing everything except finance. I did tell them though finance is always imbibed in me being my academic qualification and a decade of experience which I can always use all over my life in whatever things I do.
Today, another feeling which always feels nostalgic is being part of corporates. Food and Art is why I left a full-time corporate job and when I worked in Hyderabad food startup (which I referred as toxic though had its own shares of few best memories)
I have been part of managing a whole food event for the company I worked for and now doing a theatre workshop for a corporate. So, this proves I don’t have to be away from corporates just that the way you work changed.
“What Else I Can Ask For” – after all the above patterns and coincidences
My house hunt is still on and it is always draining, hoping to soon find a cozy abode and then many more things planned and the list is never ending!
Signing off…………..Mango!
