Dreaming strange..............

Sometimes I wonder…why exactly I am here in this world!!!..people say – everyone comes here with a purpose…waz mine??!!!

As a very small girl, I dreamt of being a pilot..the mere fact of flying so high….amidst clouds , stars and rainbows… thrilled me!! I fancied waving at my parents from behind the stars and clouds…………

At one point of time, I even fancied myself as a soldier….fighting across the border…helping motherland….sacrificing life….the English war-poets had an effect on me…I thought…so heroic!!!...and then the crude sarcasms and horror of soldiers up there unfolded before my eyes….no sacrifice..iz all abt the political drama….Chha!...i hate politics!!!

Once, I thought I would opt for a career in tourist management !....would be traveling all round the world …climbing rocks…rafting in rivers…throwing snowballs….staying awake whole night in some tree-house with tigers roaming below…chatting with camels in endless deserts…dangling legs from mountain tops………dreaming doesn’t need tax!!!!

Idea of being a socialist even occurred to me!!..weird things do come in my mind!!..but I got lost in figuring out where to start from!..and then again money is an important factor!!....i thought I can start by being a detective..following feluda… ‘my childhood hero’…but then again grey cells and guts do matter right?!!

Wat abt pursuing dad’s dream…MEdiCal!!!..trust me, I got started…borrowd half-a-dozen biology books…and then I discovered the 1^st “hatred” of my life—BIO!!!!...sorry dad!..but I had to run!!!!!

And then a psychology book fell into my hands….followed my some other on MPD (multiple personality disorder) or DID(dissociative identity disorder). I was decided ….gotta culture human human mind!!! I was genuinely interested ..but dunno y I never took it as a career!!!

I was still dreaming and thinking and pondering and fancying……..that admission dates came in round and I got enrolled in this B.Tech course! It happened automatically…just like that!......people gabbled a lot!... “engineering! A wow! Money money money! Job prospect total high! Machines would dance to ur fingers!!!!” I was curious! Wazza hype man!

And then I got under the skin!

This small set-up called computer coupled with artificial intelligence and all, do tickle my interest ! ….a would-be ‘chappal-clad-engineer’!! not bad! Trust me… ‘chappals’ are quite comfy! But did you say…….. Money… Respect… Job-satisfaction??? Hold on and look out….. or gimme time, I will keep you updated !!!!!!
