with love,

career has certainly become the most over rated word in today's world. when a
child is in class 6th since then he is asked or in some cases told that u have
to do this or that in life and at that time the parent sees only a future doctor,engineer in him or family business awaits him. but now times have changed. With the advent of MNC'S the whole prospect has changed now jobs are on the
front seat where the risk factor is zero assured income and no hassles of
running a business. As many times i have been told when u grow up you have
to find yourself with a good job and move to a better city i have listened
quitely never expressing my opinion maybe because backtalking to elders was considered rude but now as i stand on the brink of choosing my career ( it wud
be wrong to say this but i had been made to choose anyway no regrets now) i have chosen what i wish to do in my life. After much thinking and searching the web reading stuff i have decided that i will be an investment banker work for some
time then dad's business. how can i let it die afterall my grandfather put his heart and soul in it my father worked so hard how can i just let it go.... no i can't rather i wouldn't
As my dad says "son what is left in this city you have to move out seek the
greener pastures and live your life in a different way " what i fail to
understand is how can i leave my parents when they will need me the most and
that too just for my own sake. how much i argue with him that too no avail.
but i have decided that i won't and i shall stand by it.
Why do we live why do we earn why do we want to be happy all these questions
i can't seem to answer as per the conventional rules
happiness whom to share with ? money on whom to splurge? live for whom .?
well without family all seems to be mundane Is this what indian sanskar
is all about the indian sanskar of which we damn indians are so proud of
the joint family is dying, i've always lived in one thou and never have
imagined life without one i can live a few years in some weirdo place all
by myself but for life no. living in some weirdo place with your parents
coming over occasionally or you visiting them seems bakwaas why do we have
to go the western way what is the need can't we preserve the indian ethics
the much touted culture "hindutva" as BJP and VHP and many other hard core
parties say....
this would be the first time i will go against my parents wishes without an
ounce of regret
maybe i am a bit orthodox but so be it i can never forget what my parents have
done for me and i can never reciprocate what they have done the least i can do
is what i am doing
my father always said "son i want to be known as your father and not you
as my son"
i shall remember that dad always
happy anniversary to you both pity i am not ther to celebrate with you :(
as i tune in to 'nothing else matters' lost in the music i am indeed in heaven
i loose all my sense and sensibility :P
