As days go by, I get this feeling that I do not really know what I want to do. There are fleeting moments when I think I do, but then these moments pass, and I'm back to square one.
This blog stems from a conversation that started on my way back from Amby Valley, with 2 of my friends. I was, as always, dishing out some 'gyaan' (yes I know I like to do that!), in response to the endless cribbing that was going on. But I realized that they had a very valid argument for their complaints. How do you decide what you want to do in your life when u don't know what it is that you want to do? I'm sure I've screwed up that line and confused everyone, but that's how I tend to think. Anyway, that got me thinking... I'm sure I want to do certain things that I've always planned for...like do an MBA, start something of my own, build a nice house with loads of wood and a pool(sigh!)... but how the heck will all this happen? I take one look at the essay questions and I feel like I have no words in my kitty left (I know some of you are laughing now, but these are serious issues!) The economy is royally messed up, there are no scholarships left (not that B-schools were being extremely charitable before) and somehow I'm just getting poorer by the day.
Well, I can only conclude that nothing is going to happen if I don't do something. Whether it is taking a decision about what I want to do versus what I should do, or even figuring out what I really, really want... "DOING" is the key.
Back to my musings again...

the whole point about knowing what to do is ridiculous. if we knew what we wanted to do and since it is assumed that as sane and rational people , we will do only what we are capable or 'good' at doing, then we would in all eventuality 'do' what we wanted to do. this would result in a life devoid of any curiosity, uncertainty and profanity..ergo , the key is to just hang in the middle.this way u can always swing to any side and yet not get stuck there---Rishi- CEO Mindfuckers Inc.
