What is RECESSION? In economics, a recession is a general slowdown in economic activity over a sustained period of time, or a business cycle contraction.[1][2] During recessions, many macroeconomic indicators vary in a similar way. Production as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment, investment spending, capacity utilization, household incomes and business profits all fall during recession. (taken from Wikepedia)
In UAE, recession is really a big issue, some of the company have been closed due to recession. A lot of expatriates (nepali, indians, sri lanka, filipino ets.) send home because they were terminated from their jobs. I am not yet sure if I am going to stay here in my company as the management told us the company is sinking, sales going down and needs to reduce manpower or better yet cost cutting.
I am afraid of course, If ever I will go back to my country, what will be my future, do I have a job waiting for me there or I will be included in the population of unemployed. Can I build small business in my country??? Where the hell will I get capital. Fuck that future, Why it keeps on controlling me? I want to wake up one day and to see myself controlling the whole world. Where is Superman? Batman and other hereos who can help me to control the whole universe.
No, those superheroes are just came from wild imagination and it is’nt not true and it will never come into reality.

STRUGGLE
I was born, grew-up in Nepal one of the loveliest country in Asia. During my early age, I thought life is so simple and there were no complications. I don’t know word “RICH and POOR”. As far as I remember, we have lot of foods to eat, wear dresses and we have shelter. My life was so simple and I never worried about what to eat for tomorrow, what to wear.
As I grew up, things became complicated. The things I thought in my mind during younger years seem to be different in anyway. I need to work hard in order to get money and that money will use to buy things I need in order to survive.
Oh yes, my youthfulness has gone and I need to face the reality that life is no longer a fantasy it is a reality. In my country, you just cultivate the land and plant then later on you have food to eat enough for my family. But is it really enough or maybe human by nature has no satisfaction (already have what he wants yet he wants more).
Now, I am here in UAE, and still continue to struggle in order to survive. Being away from country is really a big sacrifice. I need to be away from my family, loved one, friends, my culture. I have lot of friends here, but you cannot please everybody in order to get what you want. You have to work for it. Damn that WORK, WORK, WORK. Is it really needed in order to survive?
