That Feeling of Contentment

Do You all remember the time when your Uncle or your Aunt or anybody else asking you when you were may be 6 or 7 Years old….”Son, What do you want to be when you grow up”?? Some of you must have answered a doctor, a police officer, a model, an actor and some may have even answered something like an astronaut or a scientist!! And for those of you reading this who went on to become what you had told once, Kudos to you and then this post is not meant for you

But most of us, atleast the ones I know, end up becoming something else. I personally remember not answering anything to my uncle when he had asked me once, as I seriously hadn’t given it a thought. I am into my final year of engineering now and I still don’t know if this is the right thing for me. The only thing I really enjoy doing is Writing or Blogging! But sadly that ain’t a profession though one can make money out of it. Let me ask you guys a simple question,” How many of you are “REALLY ENJOYING” your own professional lives??” I remember a few days back I had asked one bhaiyya who lives in my society 3-4 years older than me whether he was “happy” of what he was doing in his professional life and if I will be, when I enter his world i.e. The I.T industry and he said, Look Kid, Nobody is really “Happy”. You enter once and then you will realize what I mean…

But I still ask “WHY”?? Why can’t we find a way to be happy? A right to be happy? Why is nobody “really happy”? And if that’s the case, then why aren’t people moving on with their lives? Haven’t they read “The Alchemist” where a Shepard moves on with his life in order to do what he always wanted to which eventually gave him “Happiness” which he always craved for!! But sadly the World around us ain’t really an Alchemist, is it :(
