I know many will say that I should not blame anyone. I could have done the things better for me. But no, it was all controlled by others. My managers forcibly took me into project saying there are chances to go abroad for sure. So I said yes. they actually lied to me. My visa and ticket were made. Just two days before that it was canceled but other team members were sent. now they are just stopping the project. I am to search new one. It is really hard. In the mean time when i was in this project, my previous manager arranged a long term onsite trip for me. they did not released me that time.Now i have lost all. So was it just my fault? Or the bad luck will be there with me till i am alive?

Cheer up my dear. For every door of blessing that closes your way certainly there would be a window of blessing that will soon open for you. You might have been seemingly deprived of opportunities as you have narrated but who knows instead of that being misfortunes; that could be in the long run turn out to be blessings in disguise. Maybe God would not want you to go that place because He has better place in store for you. Just remain positive. Things do not happen by chance. God has a purpose always and trust that it is for your own good. Cheers!

these things are unfortunate but they happened, but if you think all bad stuff will follow you then it will so stop thinking like that, thing that good things will come your way,
in life there are ups and downs everyone has them even the most successful people, but what keeps people successful is that they don't let it get it get them down, they suffer a setback and they keep right on going and say okay I am going to get the next one and the next one and the next one, that is what makes them successful.
keep your chin up and think of good things, or find a new job if that one really isn't right for you.

Well, Subha... you have been discussing about your sting of bad luck in the company you are working for... i guess it is high time that you go out and find your self another company where your sting of bad luck will finally snap...
Maybe when you resign... you will find another job that will give you a lot of good luck that can finally compensate for all the bad thing that happened to you...

The only thingyou did wrong was trusting them in the first place, they definatley did you wrong and I know I would not want to work for people like that.

i too had tough times when i thought of getting a big return out of my work. so i stopped expecting big rather i starte doing much big than the earlier. As doing can give me a self satisfaction and my confidence level also gives me a strength as well. These are boss tactics to fool us around, do more expect less to keep up the spirit of living,.

Sounds like you are going through a hard time. But don't give up. Look at this as an opportunity to do something different with your life. I have gone through some major changes in my life this year and I have tried to look at each one as an opportunity for growth within my life. Do the same, when life gives you lemons make lemonade and make it as delicious as you can. This will show everyone that you will never give up.

I am so sorry to hear about your failed project. I don't think that it was your own fault. I hope that you manage to do another project.

Even i am going through the situation similar like you. When i joined my organization i was told that i would be put in to the developer team within a year. More than one year has passed and now during my appraisal my project manager said to me that it will take another year for me to get into the development.
It is so easy to blame the circumstances . One of the most toughest things to admit is that we are responsible for whatever we are facing. We create our own reality. We must become proactive. One must always visualize the positive outcomes of life and believe in them.
Even i have now decided to become proactive. I have recently developed a desktop application for my team which is helping our team in its functioning.

Friend..
SITUATIONAL DEPRESSION IS NORMAL.YOU DO NOT NEED A PILL TO MAGICALLY TAKE AWAY YOUR PAIN.YOU MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SHOW YOUR EMOTIONS AROUND OTHERS, TO SHOW YOUR DEEPEST FEELINGS, AND YES,IT IS EASIER FOR YOU TO FIGHT AND GET GET ANGRY AND OVER ACHIEVE THAN TO FEEL PAIN AND DEPRESSED. DEPRESSION WILL RUN ITS OWN COURSE AND WILL PASS IN DUE COURSE.
BUT IT IS NOT EASY WHEN THOSE YOU TRUST FOR A LONG TIME BEGUN TO CHIP AWAY AGT WHAT LITTLE YOU HAVE LEFT IN YOUR LIFE.THAT IS LIFE..LIVE WITH IT..ENJOY LIFE ALONG WITH ALL SUCH NONSENSE..
