why be a spendthrift? is it wrong if I ask my wife to save and spend less? are we earning millions per day? once in a while its okay, by why every now and then? cant she control her desires? I do think having self-control is the biggest achievement, that's what I learned when I did vipassana course. that was an eye opener. there he taught us to meditate, to concentrate, to control ourselves, self-control. a few days back I quarreled with my wife over buying ice-cream. she was supposed to buy only one for our son, but when she went inside the shop, she bought 2 family packs. the shopkeeper told her its buy one get one and in fact I know that brand, Amul, its not buy one get one. even if you buy one pack, you get it at half the amount, no need to buy two. they do sell a single pack. but she being spendthrift and very headstrong, why would she listen to me? I dont say that she doesnt indulge in saving for our future, for our son, but still whenever you can get a chance to save, do it. have self-control. in fact in addition to the two packs, she bought one single cup for our son who finished it by the time we came home. anyways.
so, its a fact that workload has gone down where I work presently and now its time to shift. i called up my previous employer in the evening and he has called me tomorrow to have an informal chat. let's see what it turns out to be. what i heard from my colleagues from the earlier employer that workflow has increased here and he is adding persons to boost his strength. the only deterrent may be a longer travel as they have shifted from where the office was located to a little distance away which may be a little far for me. but if he agrees to employ me on the previous terms and conditions, i dont mind the distance to travel. my condition remains no night shift and fixed salary plus incentives. i do hope he agrees to it.
