I am a Chartered Accountant by profession and hail from a family of CA's. I should have typically, going by the past joined my father in his practice. He has been at it for more than 40 years and is the senior partner in a mid sized firm headquartered and based out of South India.
Destiny had other plans for me. I by accident joined the corporate world and have been moving from Company 1 to another in search of what I call the perfect job. The topic of how i joined by first job makes for a separate post in itself!. Just as much one can spend an eternity in searching for the 'purpose of life', the eternal truth etc, I realized that one can spend an equal measure of time if not more thinking, ruminating and or trying to land that perfect job.
Having said that, I decided to sit back and identify those things which i enjoyed doing the most. Logic being, If I were to put that into a job, I should be able to stop working, as I would be enjoying what i did!. Sachin loves cricket. As long as he lives and loves the game, he stops working when he goes onto the field. Call him a pro, but I don't think he is working. From what little I could follow of Cho Ramaswamy's rendetion of Bharatiyar's Bhagavat Geeta, I think if you love what you are doing, it is no longer work.
