What am I walling in or walling out

Robert Frost poem Mending Wall, last read in school. The line he recites in the poem and the state of my life/ career right now go in sink very well.He faces dilemma while building the wall with assumption that "Good fences make good neighbors." but this doesnt happen and the enimosity between neighbours persists.

The neighbours in my case is my career and my personal life. I have got into a career which I wanted for all these years. This role requires full dedication and also the challenge which its offering is just irresistable. For past three months my personal life has gone for a toss.
Events from last week have pestered me much into thinking what was i walling in or walling out. Am I loosing my personal life totally n becoming a work-a-holic. Looking at it from my side, this is the time I can put in extra efforts and prove to myself what I am capable of least to my superiors.
Delhi alumni meet, roaming with friends in kurnool streets, meeting friends after 2 years n talking to them after 4 months, though we stay in teh same city. this definitely needs to be looked into.
Again the dilemma persists....i still feel i am walling in to ensure that I will have the last laugh in my career and personal life as well. Guess what this is the dilemma for any 24 yr old guy who gets into corp world with amibition and also has the luck to get the work he wants :-)
Things Take Time - let me go by this adage for now.

Finally the Coveted Induction

After months of long slogging sessions. My delivery goes into production at 2 AM on 4th august.

I take the 6 AM flight, land up in delhi. company books guest house, but they dont intimate the guesthouse. Cab fellow takes you to different guest house.

using some brain u convince the owner, to let u take bath n run to office which is just 5 minutes distance away as per someone. you end up walking for 15 minutes to reach the same.

finally i get to enter teh rom where the induction is happening.

funduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu is the feeling.

looking forward to make most of it.

Eager for the party.......... in the evening.
