People are known to go off consumption, when they max out on their credit cards, or are laid off. When you have no money, or no money to spare, it is easy, and often necessary, to stop buying, go off consumption.
So, in case you are wondering if I have gone off consumption because I’m broke, I’m not; just the opposite, in fact.
I have a great job, and I love ninety percent of what I do on ninety percent of the days. I work for a large patriarchal Indian conglomerate, who are not really known for laying off employees. In any case, they love me as much as I love them.
Not only do I have a great job, I have a great resume too. I was in the top quartile of my MBA batch at IIM Bangalore and I have been in a fast-track mode ever since. Six years after finishing my MBA, at twenty eight, I’m doing a role which is typically done by someone with twelve years of experience after an MBA from a top twenty business school in India. You have probably read my blog, so you know how smart I am. Others think so too and I’m frequently quoted in press as an authority on the social media scene in India.
