event'ful existence at 21
at 24,
events, communication, international relations, MBA, marketing, writing, blah!!!
...still figuring it out!!
I just sat thinking about what all I have ever wanted to be in my life, ranging from the staple doctor and teacher to a dancer and a ballerina (when I have 1 and a half left feet, not two, not just yet!!)Out of all of these I think a profession in
astro physics was the least informed choice (actually completely compelled by the urge to take up a cool sounding profession (in hindsight, that might actually have scared off a few people). A journalist was a 'glamorous' yet "murky" choice (the single quotes signify the
perception a
nd the double quotes, the experience, the truth). Events were a digression from PR (the loved one) and actually was '
event'ful (tribute to the glorious days). And now....ahem ahem
Essentially, am back at the very crossroads where I started. Yes, a little better. I mean I have some work-ex to boast about (some of it really good). And more information on a lot many choices...nah nah,
dont even begin to cheer. This overbearing information is too much to behold and has caused a major jam to the thinking prowess of
yours truly!! An MBA vs a Masters vs a lot more work. Salary jumps vs. work satisfaction. Professional growth vs. personal. MAN!!!
The fear of this being the much fabled 'mid-life' crisis creeps around. But then, I am still on the right side of 25 (smirk) and not married and no kids so
dont quite think
thats the case. It's not been the most settled dawn for a new year in my life. Too many questions (mind you a few nagging doubts too) and too many damn people to talk (none to advise)...
Now, if only it could be a life spent watching films (good/bad/animation/romance/action or the
Jodhaa Akbar category), reading, playing the piano (learning to play it first) and dancing...
like i said, its a life of wishes and fantasies!!
