Uncertain Life.

I always used to wonder what am I going to be after i grow up, what shall i do after i finish school? After i finish college? That question always used to haunt me. Whenever i used to sit studying, I would just spend hours gazing at the wall thinking what am I going to be in the future. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut. I wanted to "drive" the rocket all the way into space. I wanted to work in NASA, but there was one thing stopping me from riding the rocket. I wore glasses. I later figured out people who wore glasses had no place in riding a plane but they still had hope in the research field. So, I inclined towards research. I wanted to work in NASA. It was my dream. Then i figured out, that there is a space institute in India itself called as ISRO(Indian Institute of Space Technology). Then, there was a feeling of patriotism in me, and i wanted to join ISRO. I used to think about making some futuristic airplane and discovering new planets. I know these are two different fields, but I didn't know about it at that time. I was in the third grade! So, since then I had decided to do something in the field of outer space. Later, when i was in the tenth grade i found about an extremely brainy but helplessly crippled person known as stephen hawking. I started reading books about him. I enjoyed the way he described outer space.

          By that time, I knew I wanted to achieve something to achieve something in this field. Then somebody told me there is not much money in this field. That came as a blow to me. How can i support my parent's if I don't earn a sufficient amount of money. This question struck my head. I was haunted by these questions for some hours. Just after that i realised about the owner of Facebook (Mr. Mark Zuckerberg) a potential billionaire. He had already made it to the Forbes list with a fortune of 6 billion dollars made from scratch and brains. That was it. I wanted to be a young teen entrepreneur at that very moment. I gave keen interest in computers from that day on. I knew pretty much about computers, but not as that much as some of my friends (rajat and rohan) knew. Yes, they knew pretty much. I asked them a lot of questions and started learning html. Html is great at first, i started liking it, but then it got boring. During this process i came across a blog, i don't actually remember the link right now, but it said, "If you want to be happy with your life, do that what you love doing the most." This quote struck a chord. I began thinking what did I like doing the most, and enjoyed while doing that. I went into a flashback. I recalled all things from when I was a kid, and all the things i loved to do. Well, they include a number of dreams from being an astronaut to a soldier to an entrepreneur. The blog also said that,"If you wish to be an entrepreneur you have to figure out what you like and keep on doing that, If it is of any worth making money, It would surely pay off pretty well."

At that point in my life, I realized that I love writing, even though I do not write that good to be awarded the booker prize of the year, still I just love writing. It is through writing that I can express my feelings to my friends and this world. This led to the creation of this blog. I guess I have already figured what Life is. Life is an uncertain path. You never come to know where it'll take you. Though, I still like to explore about space and I read every other article on Entrepreneurship. New business ideas click my brain every now and then. Who knows I might as well be an entrepreneur or a space scientist. But right now all I want to do is write. I am still not sure whether writing is my future, but I sure love doing what I do. I don't know where I'll go in my life, but I'll keep on doing what I love to do the most. Write. If you people have not yet figured what are you supposed to do in your life, never mind. Just keep on flowing the way life takes you. It is a beautiful journey. Life is very uncertain, you never know when it'll bring gardens or caves in your life. But you are supposed to keep going on, who knows? on the next turn you might turn out being a billionaire? :) I am sure you'll figure out soon enough the one thing which you are made for. That one thing which will change your life. Drop in comments if you liked the post. Keep reading.
Alright people. :)
