At the Crossroads

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now. --Joan Baez When men and women agree,it is only in their conclusions;their reasons are always different

Make way for Noddy

We all get older and probably wiser by the day. Wisdom is an acquired virtue and gets better with age. Growing old, however depressing it is, makes one wiser and more judicious. I have undergone a transformation of sorts over the years.

Back in school, I was terrorized by the thought of getting on stage. I never gave the vaguest idea that I had stage fright and going by my confident disposition, my teachers would invariably nominate me to various competitions. I once feigned stomach disorder and took flight from the venue. The overcoming of stage fear is still underway and owe a lot of it to the older me.

I was born healthy and by this I mean, heavy. I retained my heavy self for a major part of my life. Every new year resolutions were made only to be forgotten. A year ago, the older Me realized the importance of fitness and here I am. Let good wisdom prevail.

A career shift is also a wise choice. Though I have only shifted gears, I am glad I did it. Good work and nice environment is on everybody's wishlist and I am not dissatisfied.

Certain things that have not changed about me. I still want to visit half the world in the next 4, be able to speak over 10 languages (Indian and foreign), get a master's degree from an Ivy, bring a radical change in India's political system, learn and share..

And yeah, I love Noddy.. Make way for it..
