A new start ... of many such starts ...

And he shouted ... Cracked it! Thumping his fist up and down and dancing down the lobby...

A recent December of 2005, I had this deja-vu feeling of having arrived after cracking a great campus job and was heading to join arguably the biggest consumer goods company of the country as a management trainee. A path of sure shot success and great future. It was a feeling I had when I got into engineering, then before MBA and now before job... STABLE is what I was heading for... And then I wanted to be the VP in that company and the race started the next day...

Amazing it was, the realization of the fact that how quickly we switch and shift our goals and how fast we lack love for things that meant a lot of us just few days ago... For few moments we feel to have made a mark and feel as Dalai Lama or Bill Gates or Indira Nooyi would have years ago. But at the same time, it hits you... You are measuring yourself already... Against someone all the time and want to be someone and still be in a secured job and life and loved by all and sundry... and then you begin thinking... Did they want to be someone or just be what they are today? What is my truth of life? My direction? MY IDENTITY...

Then one realizes, life as we live it today is a race of first achieving an objective and being someone, at least I was... It initiated a new line of thinking of realizing that what do i want? Where am I heading... Back came the answer... I am heading to a stable life, where i am secured in a safe environment. But i don't want that... I want to see the world, explore the freshness of a hawaaian sunrise, a bahaman sun bath, an australian drive, a trek up the alps, a bath in a virgin waterfall, a night in silent iceland... God gave me only one life to explore so much and still here I was sitting in a cozy job and not being what I want to be ...

And this time, I got the same feeling... Cracked it!

Its time to move on, out of this race of being someone and living a life that an X, Y or Z lives. I want to live my own life and die my own ... Its here that I feel of the many starts that we have in our process of evolving as a human, a new one has come.... A new job, A new blog and a new spirit... Cheers to the unflinching human spirit...
