Pavan – We want you to study hard, score good marks and get yourself a nice job so that you settle down in life. This is what I have heard of, more often from my parents until I actually got one after completing my education. Well, I have no idea about how it runs in other countries, but for sure, in India, we all would have been used to these words uttered by our parents quite often.
It has been five years since I have had a job and I do feel happy to notice my parents being happy and satisfied. But far from these, classified as – happened – I nowadays feel, what I do now, was more out of having no choice. Simply put that as – was having no exposure to the outside world, the choices it offered and the means to attain the same. Blame it on having to see your favourite person on every working day or on the routine stuffs we have to carry about, I do feel that we would have had done something different so that we don’t have to be working till we retire, for having to wait for the peanuts, to satisfy our needs. I do believe nowadays, that, job, is a temporary solution to our financial needs.
Why is that, I could not think something different in life? Different than the usual marathon of life I right now carry about – a reality of which I feel embarrassed to be pursuing for the next thirty years from now? I have no idea if this realization I incurred, of driving beyond the routine stuuf is a late one. But at least I am glad I have it now. Glad because I still believe I can do something different and venture into segments which I had not previously. It’s time now for me...to look up because….There is no end…It’s only the beginning!!
