I was in deep thought (well, deep FOR ME, wic is quite shallow actually) a few days back. I had been asked by a friend as to what was it that I really wanted to do in life? Which profession, what career and how do I envision myself when I am 30.
Well, I thought about it a lot. These are some of the things I have consistently wanted to do in my life.
-Travel widely and greatly
-Freelance writing – a travelogue???
-Make loads of money (mney can buy everything, including a little bit of happiness )
-Be content with the profession I choose - never would I make compromises just because I had to maintain the job I have got. There are loads of ways of making money
-Take my family on a world tour
-Save peoples lives/inspire a soul to achieve something in life – well, basically make a positive difference to somebody’s life
-BE HAPPY!!
Does any one single profession make this seem possible? I think some would tell that I am an aimless, peripatetic soul. But its just I have never thought about this, nor has any brilliant idea accompanied with a strong flash ever appeared to me. I am currently letting my life take its course, and like a meandering river I move forward. I don’t think I know enough about my own dreams to make a careless, reckless, impulsive final decision now.
IIT or not I have decided that curently my aim in life is going to be the last one, BE HAPPY!
Live life, have fun, don’t be afraid and be a little naughty at times.. starting from today … --specially pointing out to the naughty part :]
P.S. 1. Advice well taken, osmy in Germany..
P.S. 2.
noticed the trend in the posts
osmosis germany - a little philosophical
osmosis germny - dance/travel
osmosis india - rant/very occasional creative byte.
I am officially tired of ranting. No more for a while. MIss me!-!

meandering river is great. meandering river is all there is and all that will ever be, because even the greatest plans will turn out to be all completely different.
the couple of life goals you have cited, are, in my opinion all you need. (you missed IIT by the way-important future goal) you know where you want to get to, now you need to step over each stone thrown at you to get there- and theres no knowing what these stones are going to be. those are the meanders that make life unpredicatble and unique.
you have to take one step at a time and never forget that the "weg ist das ziel" .
I may seem to be self- contradicting when I tell you now to get to work. but you probably know better than I how important it is.
at the same time, I do very much like your attitude ;)
please dont stop ranting, because it tells me whats up in your life. I miss you so much.
