The Path

I wish to dedicate this blog to people who are uncertain about the decisions they make. It has some similar contents connected to my previous blog.
As a kid,i wanted to be a teacher every girl feels the same,my guy friends wont deny that as a kid they either wanted to be driver/conductor/railway operator. As i grew up probably around 6Th std i wanted to be a farmer, i guess Manoj kumar singing "mere desh ki dharti.." on chitrahar in dd was my source of my inspiration!High school brings out the engineers and doctor (95% say the same-its made up statistics)The reality check points are 10th and 12th.People join science for good, commerce for money and arts for interest(though elder people disagree they thing only science and occasionally commerce are the path of salvation and arts is for non smart people-which is so not true)I wanted to go for geology/archeology after my 10th, be like Lara Croft the tomb raider but i took up science after my 12th i wanted to take up BA in English major and later dreamt of joining a leading newspaper as editor as they say a pen is mightier than sword! but i took up BSc Biotechnology(the so called future of India...hahahaha),developing an interest in the subject i moved forward to do masters in the same what next was always the question.The only major benefit of taking up masters was that i got good friends during the course.After one thoughtful year i joined teaching and now currently unemployed i have no idea as what to choose.I am in some kind of cross roads of non effective decision making!
I wish to be determined like the cow near my house,which stands majestically on the middle of the road like a divider unshaken by the passing vehicles. she just doesn't stir,at least she knows what her path is!!!

BLOGGING ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON

I wish to dedicate this blog to all the confused people in the world, (including me!) who have absolutely no idea what they want in their life. As a kid, if someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, I would promptly say doctor/ engineer because that was the tend those days. It was such a common professional choice those days (applicable even now) that there was even a joke about it that if in Bangalore (the IT hub) you hit a stone aimlessly it either hits a dog or an engineer! There is uncertainty in every phase of life. For eg: after tenth the mammoth task of choosing the stream and more than the kids decision I feel it’s the relatives who brain wash the kid and he/she is so confused he ends up taking what his/her friends chose and that decision too is influenced by someone else. “What I want to do?” is the question many a times you wish someone else could answer for you, but tragically/ethically/sentimentally/legally/morally (choose what ever option is appropriate for you) it never happens the way you wish it would. Why I wish to highlight this is, at some point of time we have let other people influence us so much that we have forgotten our true passion-our own identity. As a child we live quite a carefree life and any short term decision we make we stick to it like I will eat 10 chocolates at a single stretch!, as you grow older you are suppose to take wise and mature decisions(omg! i don’t remember taking many of those, okie if you are under the impression that this blog is too boring you are absolutely right, it’s a sunny jobless afternoon and I am in full philosophical mood so read quietly and call me and yell at me later for writing such boring blog!!!) So where was I,I have finally decided to take mercy on my blog readers and end this master piece by quoting the words of my 6 yrs old niece. When I asked her the other day what she wanted to be when she grows up? She raised her head and proudly said “I want to be a mother” :-)
