Only when you will give some time to the question - what was the reason behind some of the important decision you have taken you will realize what it's all about.

Is this what I really want to do in my life??

Naah.....there is too much fight....this can't be...only a moron will leave a secured life for struggle...

But yaar....That's what interest me the most.I like it..wait..wait..I love it and I think I can be really good at it.

huh...thats just because you have been involved in it too much recently.Remember when you wanted to become a cricket player....

Yeah those were the days...But I still believe I could have become a good cricket player with proper coaching, only if my father could have afforded it....but leave it yaar...this is India and 1st thing you do care about is livelihood.

So why now you don't want to care about it??

Because it's now that I have realized there is something more important than livelihood.

And what is that?

That is knowing yourself.what you are and not what society projects you as.What you really want to do, not what the society want you to do.Most important is realizing your dream and not of your father or mother.

But.. but this is immaturity.When you take a decision you must stick by it.Right now you are considering this as an easy path but later you may have to regret.You may loose interest in it too and then you will be nowhere in life.

I don't think about it as as an easy path and I never said that I found engineering difficult.It's just now I realized that it's not for me.It doesn't interest me.

And what did you say about my decision of being an engineer?? Do you really think it was me who decided to become an engineer.I might have been in pseudo impression at times that it's me who has been making decisions about my life but it was never me.I was good in acads so my fate was already determined.I ask you my friend why not something else.Is it because this is what people at this stage are supposed to do.

No my friend no.......It wasn't my decision or my dream to become an engineer.It was a dream given to me by my parents and the society.

But parents wishes only good of their children...

True!! But sometimes it becomes obsession.And by the way who decides what is good?? It's the society. It's always the societies influence on parents or their own failed dream which decides what we are supposed to do.

But that is how it works...hmmm.....Now I understand. So you wanna change the society...

No my friend!! I just want to change myself and do what I am good at.But then I must give it some time.After all it's India.

I don't wanna be a product of my environment , I want my environment to be a product of me - Costello in 'The Departed'.
