The past 20 years of my life has gone listening to people tell me how good it is to first clear school and then college and then get to work.....Finally - how blissful it is to feel retired and then how the retirement and people around you start to get on your nerves. So, I guess, there is no perfect state in this world. But then why was everyone telling me to do just the right thing and get the perfect scores, the best job, the perfect match??? When none of it actually exists.
Just 'coz i am a woman of the world....the scientific world (I mean to say)....Read "the spirit of enquiry", which is better termed as inquisitiveness. So I retired from my career....which just abt kickstarted. What do I see??? I can get up as late as i want to. Do whatever, whenver I choose to........
The bliss lasted for a whole month. It felt so good to to be able to read that thriller and not have to put it down just when it was going so well....'coz I have to wake up early to go to work. I cant express it in words. It has to be felt, experienced and enjoyed. But in a month's time it started biting me 'coz whats the point of being up all night with a book when no one's ever going to tell me NOT TO???
Well, I could go on and on about all this......
But this time I am sure, I want to stay retired until I get going with something of my own.Its time I took some risks and get going.......What say you????

Believe it or not we all have gone thru this process of being disiilusione! Well let me correct meself, only the lucky ones have! Good that you have realized that what was told to you was not the accurate discription of what it is. But then this what was told to peope around as well (parents?) and in all probability you will do the same!
But the tough part is that now you have made you life more difficult than ever before. Now you have to figure what you want to do. Welll trust me that is close the most difficult thing in this world. But you HAVE to bring in more clarity in your life...you have to choose and live your own path..well too much gyan right?
