I’m in the midway between an atheist, agnostic and a religious person. My particiaption in events based out of religious tradition, is almost always doubtful. Yet, I was part of this community gathering, and I’m going to cover the event.

To start with I’m not a religious person. Meaning I don’t strictly follow the religious activities, I do constantly question the practises. I don’t know whether I’m an atheist or an agnostic. But I do believe there could be some powerful entity. Could be a god, family of gods or nature.
When I was living abroad for the work purpose, I need a social interaction. That made me to visit temple every week, almost.

With the recent change in the role from data engineer to lead data engineer, I’m regularly interacting with different teams, both upstream and downstream. It had become routine to have meetings with the counterparties to understand their difficulties. After all, we are a tree but a part of a forest. Diversity factor It might annoy us to hear about diversity from the MNCs again and again. However, for the proper functioning of the organization, it is essential to have associates from various backgrounds.

The last few weeks have been tough. The problem seems to originate from all three avenues: life, work, and the social circle. My child is demanding that I play with her more regularly and for more time. By size, my social circle is small. I feel the size further shrinks due to my inability to speak or interact with my close friends. Even though the friends usually accept the fact that life is getting busier, the crack appears nonetheless.
