Inertia


Well hullo people, how have you been good enjoying the rainy season eh……….?

I named this post inertia because in my mind everything had stopped and had come in the state of inertia. The calm before i step into yet another chapter of my life.

Hope you enjoy reading and yes do comment I would love to hear from you.........


Today as I stand here on the hem of taking a step that can change the shape of my career I am reminded of my little cousin’s words about career. During my stay in Chandigarh me, my uncle and my cousin went for evening walks and during one such walk we were talking about making career choice, when suddenly I asked my little cousin the question which we all must have been asked when we were little kids “What do you want to become when grow old?” I asked the little fellow he looked confused and a little baffled by the question but he replied in his innocence I don’t know you tell. Most of the rest of the walk was spent by me suggesting him what he could do be an policeman like your father, no he said and same was the reply to his many other suggestions I had to offer and when I was running out of options he said something very thoughtful out of his naivety “Do I have to decide it yet” he said. Thinking for while I replied “No you can leave it for now” but his reply remained in head for sometime and that night when alone in my bed instead of thinking of romancing beautiful girls, I was struck by his words.

Do we really need to know or decide what we want to be in our life? Well as they say one has to have an aim and most of interpret it as what we want to be. But does that is the case what we need to realize is it is not we want to become that is important it is what we want from our life.
