No apologies...and no I don’t ask for forgiveness either. Coz as friends you are expected to understand my approx 1 month long absence. Let’s get into the reasons later, right now hear me out.
I m confused.
You know there comes a point in everyone’s life where the next step you take makes or breaks you. While normal people, prepare themselves for this scenario and have counter measures at hand when’s the day of reckoning comes around, others tend to dodge, shuffle, fake n move until left with no other choice but to cry over spilt milk. Yours truly is definitely an "other". Everyone has dreams in life. And the bigger you dream, the better your chances of making something out of yourself or so they say. For a normal 10 year old desi kid, nothing seemed bigger than Team India. To don the India Blue was something I like 90% of the boys and .001% of the girls(read madhuri iyer) dreamt of doing. And as years passed and I grew older and less mature, careers ranging from archeology to journalism came and went from my peripheral vision. And as I turned 18 and no clear cut career options sprung to mind, I chose to be a jack of all trades; I chose to be an Engineer.
Today, I m back at the very place I started out. Sitting in my balcony confused about what I wanna do in life, with life. Laid back is a term everyone who knows me associates with me. Maybe it’s the fact that I‘ve had it good in life. Always been lucky and always happy with the dealt hand. But in life, there is only so far luck can take you. The rest you gotcha actually DO for yourself. There are plenty of opinions flying around. "You only live once so might as well do what you love" sounds appealing to me but "Money drives the world, so get an MBA" sounds more sensible. Right now i m a preparing for CAT in a hot tin roof, leaving my all beloved far apart.
This is the time to wake up...to resolute and to dissolve myself in the world of corporate.
WAKE UP PRAVEEN....
