Do we really have any Role Models? Even parents have shed that, isn't it? No matter what happens one should never lose Faith in God and self. I agree we use some words or expressions without understanding. It is not easy to become a writer as it needs a lot of patience and at times a godfather also. We need more organisations like this one for child development or upliftment of backward classes. PM's THEEK HAI has been a famous background score. Your categorization of people is so apt. At times we do get lost into nostalgia. Life is full of such wishes and once it is filled another one takes birth. It is a never ending process.<br /><br />Take care Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-13435637066759383582013-04-23T04:40:27.406-07:002013-04-23T04:40:27.406-07:00Yes, that's something that I can't seem to...Yes, that's something that I can't seem to relate to...I have somehow managed to be always happy with what i have rather than running after what i dont have.Riàhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522045043501343739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-69856478117047909772013-04-22T02:44:34.228-07:002013-04-22T02:44:34.228-07:00Alka, this post is very thought provoking.

And then, I came to Bombay for my Masters' and that has been another exhilarating experience :) <br />Of course, on the job-front - I remember getting really irritated but I decided to not stick around doing something I did not want to do and it was the BEST decision I made....The moment I got out of it, something else came my way and I love what I do today :) :)<br /><br />I feel the trick is to just look ahead and when you take a step, do it keeping all things in mind...And if you don't like where you are, you don't need to be there - just take the plunge and walk a different path..You will still land in a good place!Divyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478829599969479017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-4505979317319988362013-04-20T09:58:20.294-07:002013-04-20T09:58:20.294-07:00True.

But what I appreciate more is that people are gustier, choosing happiness in off-beaten career paths instead of the more secure, cozy options.

And guess what, we had to start college in a dreary grey uniform, annoying hostel wardens substituted the nagging and the food was pathetic!!

A lot of us have this inherent Cinderella-syndrome sort of psyche- that school/college/boss, in that order makes our life hell. But ask any of these people what exactly do they seek in life, and I was surprised that they were blank. Beer on weekends is what they would replicate even if they have 3 day a week. The intent is not to blame my generation, but to the trend that assigns blame on others while faking the zeal for life which was never there.<br /><br />I sincerely believe in the integrated theories of well being, which say that if you are good, you will be so in whatever you come to be. If you are fun person, you will have person irrespective of what job you are in. Even if you are unemployed :)<br /><br />But then, I might be wrong. 28 years in not a long enough timeline after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-87830981071412708122013-04-19T08:04:47.084-07:002013-04-19T08:04:47.084-07:00Aha!
