Right from the very first line I resonate with every thought of yours because I too, followed the same route. Good to know that many sailed in the same boat and are now on better shores.

It is unfortunate to recollect that the place where I worked used to promote excessive buying to compensate for the emotional void. The so-called successful women MDs(role models) used to give lectures, on how to pamper yourself, how to dress for your next role, and in short how brands symbolized success. It was when I left the place and when those people slowly vanished from my social circles that I realized that those names, brands, and lifestyles were short-lived and irrelevant.

A lot to ponder and a lot to change, what a profound word and your essay. Thank you as always.

Cheers :)

At some points, this illogical order which is fueled by money must be changed with a more humanistic and fair one. I feel this each and every day, so there are tons of things to be written about this issues.

Next week's post is also a related one :)

Thanks so much, and cheers :)
