Hi All, My Junior has decided to put paper, as she wanted to pursue Cdac course from Sept-22. She just informed that she signed a bond of 2 years and currently she has completed 1.7 years in HCL. What should she do now? Results is on 10-aug and she decided to put paper on that day itself (Earlier she told the same to Sr. manager) Kindly suggest if any action would be taken by HCL OR No experience letter would be shared with her. Regards, HCL Technologie HCL Technologies HCL Technologies

Stop being silent on small acts of white supremacy which little by little support systematic racism. Start, being more open with people I love and just be less alone with my emotional world
I certainly wouldn’t work anymore if I was only going to be alive for 2 years.
Early retirement.

A fantastic prompt OP and one that I am willing to consider deeply.
Two years. 24 month. 730 days. 17,520 hours.
I’m already burning my time converting into smaller units 😉. Your prompt makes me think deeply, propelled by three beers and needing a break from the proposal I’m cranking on on a Saturday night while watching Insecure, about what it means to have a meaningful life.
First, I’ll take stock of the blessings, the privileges, and what I would keep doing:
1. I’d continue loving my fiancé and making choices to secure her and our future family’s safety
2. I’d continue loving my family and being there for them when I’m able
3. I’d continue loving my friends, being with them and calling them and supporting them in their successes
4. I’d continue relentlessly engaging strangers with smiles, conversation, and warm thoughts whether in real life or on the bowl
5. I’d continue playing music far too loud for my own good, straining my ear drums and my amplifier in pursuit of tranquility through noise
6. I’d maintain my sense of humor and love of the outdoors
With that said I’ll turn to the hard stuff:
1. If I’m honest, I’m not consistently using my powers for good. I’m using them for money, trading my time running analytics to improve businesses. I think I could have more of an impact in a people development role. I’d look to change that.
2. My Mom is struggling with depression and I could do more to be there for her. I’d redouble my efforts to spend time with her.
3. I’d engage with others more. It energizes me and I believe, deeply, that our world needs connection more than ever. I’d try and embody that change.
So... I guess given 17,520 hours, 730 days, 24 months, or 2 years, I’d continue most of my activities but focus more on others and less on analytics and wealth.
Time to act on that thought.
Thanks for the post and looking forward to what others have to say. I’d love to hear other stories, including your own OP!
Love,
Dr. Kearney
Two years is long enough for me to contemplate changes and actions that are meaningful, but short enough to force the realization that everything I have done and will do is ultimately meaningless.
Most likely, I would stay within the current construct of my life, ie a gainfully employed member of society, but make some changes around the edges to reflect my priorities. I would insist that I will work only at 50% capacity with no travel (have to leave some money behind, and who can say no to a dying man) and try to be a more present father, husband, son, friend.
But part of me would want to take this chance to break with my current life construct altogether - to spend a good portion of the two years experimenting with drugs I never tried, living in ashrams, trying to somehow self-actualize or understand life experientially before I lose the privilege of human consciousness. And I don’t think this is compatible with the other path above.
I worry most that I wouldn’t (and won’t) change anything.
As an aside, I think it would be good to try to adopt this mindset on regular basis. We might not know it in advance, but at some point it will end up having been close to the truth.
I’d stop worrying and focusing on the negatives (anxiety disorder). I’d travel ASAP - I’d want to see all the natural beauty the world has to offer. I’d sleep with a lot of guys. I’m single and would love to fall in love one day,but you can’t force that. I’d quit my job and spend time with my best friends and family. I’d probably foster or adopt a dog.
This comes to mind as a set of options. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=no5ABO0ting
