Vacations mood! Sleeping, eating, laughing, travelling and again sleeping. We do enjoy our vacations, we do love to have a blast in our vacations. But after a long period of working, studying and having a scheduled life vacations don't turn out to be that productive. It turns out to be a time where we question ourselves, our worth. We get worried about our future and career. Vacations with only fun, seems to be reality check, questioning our productivity. It is important to keep working that is why I always say that I love to keep myself busy. But sometimes even I get such phases where I keep on questioning myself - "What next?" And then that feeling is painful.
That's why it's important for us to have some sort of productive work in our vacations. I won't lie I searched for a number of internships but couldn't find any relevant to my field. And yes there were some for me but I wasn't enough qualified for that. At such moments we need a mentor or a guide to help us through in finding a good OUR TYPE OF WORK. It is not for our resume or CV or our career etc. It is for our mental stability. Remember when you last questioned your worth? It was painful right? I can understand. That's why its important to keep on doing something.
Well let's move on to the main agenda of writing this blog. It started with us feeling unproductive. But the blog is for the other section of our society who faces the same problem but it has a profound impact on them instead of us. Yes, the Senior Citizens. The people who have worked for n number of years and after hitting a certain age, either they get retired or their health doesn't support them to keep working like before.
Their hands and legs ain't strong enough like before, but their mind keeps working right? Their heart still beats right? They go through emotional and mental breakdowns for not being able to work like before. Have you ever seen your grandparent doing some sort of home chores which is not meant for them? Like waking up around 4 am and start cleaning the windows, fans and trying to repair the damaged grinder of your house? If yes, so you need to realize that that person was a workaholic and hitting a certain age and restricted to home for chilling and enjoying the rest of life like that isn't his cup of tea.
I watched a movie of a person like this who wasn't getting enough attention and required love around himself. So he kept himself busy on various social media platforms and that was a moment where I broke down. I could feel his agony. This age group goes through emotional struggles for being neglected and not productive enough. Isn't this our duty to do something for this. Such questions to policy makers to be asked that what they will do for this particular section of the society. Policies, innovative ideas must come out for this problem as well.
Looking forward for your story over such issue and also some suggestions to tackle the same from your side in the comment section.
