Dealing with irrelevance

It is a funny feeling when all the jobs that you want are already taken, what is available is not too bad and nobody knows what will become available and hence there are no timelines that can be assigned to waiting. At one point of time in life you thought it would be really cool to do this but does that hold anymore, I don't know. I feel too old to get excited by cool stuff.

Somewhere there you start looking for a reason to take up what you have at hand, find some kind of relevance to your life, where you want to go and what you want to do. You start building castles in the air.

We all make castles in air, we may call them ambition, dreams, vision, just to bring relevance to our lives..connect them with big picture and feel good. But it is hard to have to construct one over every couple of years and see them blown away in a re-org. The castles may be in the air but believe me it takes a lot of effort to build and maintain them in gales of corporate world.
