The First 24 Hours: Day 4— Aage ka kya socha hai!

Since my childhood, I have been seen as a very hopeless person. I(and none) can ever predict what will I be doing the next morning. I have been part of stage singing, kathak classes, painting(I used to call it modern art for obvious non-understandable reasons 😅), theatre, debate, national-level sports, social service and you name it, I must have tried it in one way or another!

They call me “Jack of all trades, master of none” but, what if I am doing it all for fun? (Ohh such rhymings! I can be a poet too xD)

The sad(at least for me) part is, I am raised against a super-focused, super talented Hooman(mostly identified as my Bhaiya). He was so sure about his career and life that I usually think that he got into this world for fulfilling his “life purpose” of “pichla janam” which he obviously knew before his birth!

Considering my short-timed diverse(and weird) interests, every other day people ask me “Aage ka kya socha hai?”

It was scary for a long time until today when someone texted me saying he liked my daily takeaway idea and he wished to realize this a little earlier in his life for better introspection!

This made me confess that “not having a plan” actually worked for me.

Throughout my journey, I never knew what I wanted to do(I still don’t) but this helped me explore many different domains that I could have missed if I did have a definite plan to work upon!

The major takeaway is rightly expressed by Steve Jobs, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.”

And the next time someone asks you, “HOW do you see yourself in the next 5–10 years?”
Reply with(at your own risk)…..” maybe pretty, maybe!” 🙈🙃
