I came into the world as a cuddly little one and now I have my own little one to cuddle, kiss, hug (also pinch, scream at - man, the social workers will be behind me now that the truth is out). Gosh all this makes me wonder about the miracle called life.
The past 10 years starting from the time I entered college, then graduated, got a job and then sped through in my career to where I am now....really guys,, time flies fast. The mind still has those memories fresh as if it happened just yesterday. Leaving the comfort of home, moving onto new horizons, I was a girl who just happened to be a tad complicated with hundreds of fears that she decided she cannot do a dissection of a roach, so she moved onto the world of computers. There were those days when you spend with the big books of engineering and then imagine what it would have been if you had chosen to enter the medicine field (our parents have set our brains in such a manner that you do not realize there is anything in life other than the title of Doctor or Engineer). Thanks to Erich Segal for "Doctors" which helped to boost confidence and be happy that you just need to read about THEIR load of work in books.
Fast forward to 2005 to my first job (actually I think it should be my third due to the fact that I did spend some months as a IT trainee and also a few months as a teacher - wow.......a backup profession) - big conference rooms, bigger lobby and the biggest team. Thankfully I had colleagues who took it upon themselves to become the gurus and guides which helped me to do better every year.
Just when I thought I might get into a rut...voila I came to US. Now I simply cannot count the days and minutes, everything just rushes past you..so many things to do and so less time!! I have been here for 4 seasons and still I have loads of things that I hope to experience. Actually being here has given me a new perspective over life. Whatever you do, wherever you go - if you have the spirit to enjoy what God has given you, then you would never be idle and depressed.
Thanks to my loved ones for pushing up my optimism needle to green.
So right !! There are days that you spend elaboratley counting how boring those minutes are and suddenly - you are at the end of a decade, unbelievably phew-ing over how damn quick that was !!!! I go thru' the same range of feelings every now and then. Somethings just feel fresh, even after ten whole years !!! And somethings just happen for a fraction of a second, like there was no one to keep the minute hand running. Life is damn amazingly short !
