Its Monday again…

Irrespective of where you come from , No matter whether you are working in a Govt entity or in a private Organization , Regardless of the Industry and the position at which you work, you may have a uncomfortable & fearful feeling about Monday. If you nodded your head as ‘yes’ or if you silently grunted as ‘hmmm’ you belong to a broader community of this world – who also have this kind of phobia.

I never liked monday since my sixth class, I hated it for two reasons one is that I will not have holidays for 5 consecutive days and the other is that there was nothing interesting in school.Every sunday evening I have felt as if the entire happy universe is coming to an end. Sunday evening sunset meant so many things to me. Unfinished homework , haunting lectures , tiresome journey for the next week. This fear factor continued in college and also in the profession till day and will continue for the rest of life unless and until…

The fear sets in, in my opinion, because one cannot be free as long as he / she has to report to someone. Like if you don’t like working on a day because the climate is too good and you would love to spend it reading Jane Austen’s novels or watching Steven Spielberg’s movies or listening to Rahman’s music, you may not be able to!!! as you may have to report to your superior at your workplace. More simply , you cannot be yourself , at all times. You will have to adjust to the environment, especially at work.

Those who do not want to report to someone , become individual creators and work for their customers. They don’t have to report to anyone , everything is in their hand: every decision , every penny.

I have imagined at times – What would the world be!!! – if it is filled with individual creators and only with Individual creators – with No corporates , no big organizations – except for the government entities. In real time , it may not be possible as perception in minds differ.Some may want to work in a big company because the perks are high and the reputation is good and some may not realize that they are potential creators and some may think that its not worth living life this way but the ratio of individuals creators with the rest is exponentially increasing nowadays. There are freelancers in every industry and in every geographical region.

Some succeed at it with passion and intelligence and they start companies to manage and to satisfy their customer’s needs and they inspire others to join their company.

If you have read it completely from the beginning – It might seem that it is a cycle.a circle.It comes back where it started.

My wish is that someday i would not report to anyone and would not want anyone to report to me. What would I become then?!
