I wish I was a..

Have you ever wondered if only you pursued the profession that your heart desired? That what you are into currently came from mindless pressure from rest of the world to become a "successful professional"? That you set your foot in a bit too much to take a U-turn now? And your aspirations and inspirations just remain as thoughts and forgotten memories, burrowed just to bring up a sigh and a brief flashback once in a while when you are depressed, only to make you more depressed?

I do have one of those.

I was lucky to have all the freedom in terms of education. I did what I chose to, made several decisions as to what I would pursue myself. Sometimes I was happy-go-lucky, sometimes I messed up, but I've learnt to take everything positively and now I'm kind of happy where I am. Like my job, like my paycheck, peace. What else would you ask for?

Still, sometimes I wish if it was a journalist. Or a pilot. Two professions I would have loved. Or loved more. Just a thought, nothing more, nothing less. A forgotten thought, nevertheless.

Sidin. A blogger who has left his consulting to become a freelance writer like he always wanted. It takes guts, planning and perseverence. I feel good to see him move. Closer toward where he wants to be. Good luck Sidin.

Rest of us. We choose too. Whatever works for us!

Thanks gapingvoid.com for pic.

Karthik,

I would have been okay if they didn't let me fly ;). The freaking uniform that is followed by a host of beautiful hostesses seems like a total chick magnet. I tried to hide the background story, but you brought it up :p
