Unemployed for 4 months

It has been a very long time i have earned a single rupee. my last job was in March. 4 months. I had a job on pipeline but the client must have backed out due to cost cutting on their side, i understand. So i can easily another 6 months with no work at all.

At times i wonder if i should try to get any kind of job. If I needed the money, i would have done so long time back. But there is no such need. So i will enjoy my forced retirement.

In normal times, i would be consoled that it was only me who went through this process and if i chose to come back there would be friends in positions of power and wealth who would get be back on track in the world of business. But now all of them are in worse position than me. Not only by a few times, but hundreds of times. At least I have no liabilities and I have tonnes of experience of these personal failures and bouncing back.

So I pity them.

However i wonder how long i will be wanting to stay without work. I will definitely do something.

I was thinking of working for free for some well deserving organization. but i am not putting the word out. i don’t know.

I am not in bad position.

if i get really bored, or if i feel insulted at home by my family, i will definitely actively seek work and take up a job, but it is unlikely.
