I am a smart guy.It's just that I specialize in making highly unsmart choices.
 |
First,he makes me slog my ass off coming up with smart choices.
Then he goes right ahead to do exactly the opposite!Hmppph!!
|
But I make some accidentally good ones too.Just like my decision to join Infosys,straight out of college.
This Friday,my stint at Infy ended.It was a 3 years 4 months stint.And just like anything that stretches that long,it had its fair share of ups and downs.It was in Infy,I discovered my passion for writing.And along with that,I unearthed a whole lot of startling and not-so-startling facts about myself as well.
 |
| I tested positive for all those psychological disorders??!!Yikeees!!!! |
Something which I learnt in these 3 years is-life ain't about making the right choices or the wrong ones.It's about learning to make your choices work for you.There ain't no good choices or bad choices.The merit or demerit of choices lie only in their consequences and outcomes .
 |
| The outcome may not be! |
No matter,how much thinking and knowledge-gathering goes into arriving at a decision,life has a tendency to take us off-guard,to knock us out when we are most vulnerable,to twist our well planned choices into a mockery of unforeseen and unintended consequences.
 |
Hey Life!Don't punch me so hard,
Just gimme a fair game, one good card!! |
Somewhere down the line,I realized that life isn't to be taken too seriously.If life makes us happy,then smile.If life makes us sad,try to find what's funny about it and still smile.
 |
| Smile!An everlasting smile.It'll do you good,mile after mile!! |
I dunno what lies ahead.I can just hope.:-) It's another thing I learnt in these 3 years.Hope is the last penny in your emotion's bank balance.Never in your life make the mistake of giving it away!:-)
 |
| Hope.Cleansing your worries.Since 50,000 B.C. |

Hmmm..all the best for your future Rahul. Yes, decisions are never right or wrong. People always feel that the decisions I have taken have always been on an impulse and have been wrong most of the times. But, those decisions have worked wonders for me.
