Are Pauses in Career Accepted in India ?

 How Good is a break from Career ? I was 15 Years and was on a Key position and one fine day it stuck me hard, what am i doing ? The same routine day, same client calls , same team and same life. Just another day in my calendar. I wanted to take a break and not think of anything else for a moment.
One fine day, i had put my papers and gave an Pause to the 15 years Long IT career.

I tried out whatever i wanted to do, Tution, gardening, Astrology, Training, Learning Languages like
B2 German Goethe-Institut e.V.
THE MADRAS SANSKRIT COLLEGE AND SSV PATASALA
JLPT - Japanese Language Proficiency Test
IELTS Official
Samskrita Bharati ,
Samskrit Promotion Foundation , Bhagavat Git @Iskon, Ayurveda Course, Learning Flute, Painting etc.. Just lived my life like a kid with my Kids spending everyday in a different way as i could.
This continued for a year. Being a responsible Husband, Father of two kids, it was my responsibility to feed them. So i had taken up Freelancing for my survival and i controlled my timings.

I went back to My own school Kendriya Vidyalaya where i studied from 1-12th, but this time not as a student, but as a German Teacher. I didn't know that the German Language which had entered into my mind through the Film @DilwaleDulhaniyaLeJayenge in 2000 was a seed for my survival in 2022. Spending with the Kids full day had re energized me. Gave me a different perspective of life away from the 15 monotonous years.

This helped to rethink, replan and taught me to come back to IT.
Looking back now, feeling proud of every single moment life has given me.

Break is always needed to Pause the Run in LIFE, Identify why we run and rethink if really the Run is worth and plan the future Run. This pause was a well needed for me.

West Encourages Pause, but its was sad to see that When i interacted during my Pause for re entering to IT, many INDIAN recruiters were concerned on the Pause of 1 year. But as always, Not all days are SUNDAYS. There are people welcoming these Pause and i got into one such recruiter one day.
