It didn’t take much time for me to decide that I wasn’t particularly a cutout for this technophile world.
No, not because I was performing badly anywhere or I was not able to cope up with my studies or work load at any point of time till date.
As I was discussing this with one of my friends, she had remarked “Just because you are doing well somewhere, doesn’t mean that you like it, or that you have a flair for it. You are basically a conscientious person, and your natural propensity towards hard work is bound to pay you back any day. Why don’t we put aside hard work for a moment and bring forth your so-believed proclivity for…….”
Not every person is fortunate to know what he really likes or wants to do in life. As we grow up, we are conditioned by the tastes, aspirations and behavior of those around us. So if at the end of it, you still retain that appetite and that kaleidoscopic sight, I would like to believe you are blessed!
All this…… Not, without a flipside.
At any level, family matters the most. Aligning and adjusting your aspirations with theirs coupled with gearing up for the responsibilities you inherit as you grow up, do take a lot of time. Sometimes, spanning your entire life!
But not everyone can discern what it is like, to be doing something, when your core is urging you to work towards your dream. Every single day spent is like a big loss. And this realization is like a leak in the heart, slowly seeping out your zeal and asking ‘Why forgo what you owe to yourself?’
Flipping the coin again, why not try taking a few steps guided by your heart when you still have the time. As an age old aphorism, copyrighted by management gurus says ‘Work around blocks instead of bumping into them.’
Some simple yet concrete steps ......... before you succumb to needless quibbles…… before you convince yourself of your make-believe limitations…….. before you let go of inner self and join other mortals to vegetate.
As a garnishing thought:
“Sometimes it is necessary to take a big leap; you cannot cross a chasm in two small jumps.”

I feel many people havesuch dilema & they live their whole life with it.......very well said that follow your heart but pls be careful about the opportunity as well......
Now, since you have realized this, you are all set to follow that. I am doing this since ages dunno the time, but yeah I remember one day when I was discussing things with my dad while on a walk down the lane towards garden, and I was excited to know from my dad that I was actually following my dreams & was working towards it amidst all the contraints, sometimes with calm dignified mind & sometimes with full self flair. :) :) :)
Garnishing is just tarnishing, for I believe small ones can be the foundation for that one big.
so true.. bt then.. tough life!! :-(
m glad that u had the courage to at least think abt it!!
:-)
Thoughts are many.
Accomplishing them is the real job.
Constraints are many.
But using them to work your ideas... is the real job.
Definitely not impossible.....
:)

Niether Heart nor brain can live aloof, if your heart is in something and mind isnt,and vice versa, it will not give you the peak you wanna attain.
Given that, not many can align both heart and brains in a single direction at one time. Its not conclusive but most of times,we win battles on something we use more often. :)
