When I was a small kid and people used to ask me what I wanted to do I used to think who knew, man? I used to say I want to be a scientist. Maybe I still want to, I don’t know.
Then I started growing up and when a little sense dawned into me, I told I wanted to be a teacher. Well, I loved all my teachers and hence a teacher, and I teach well you know. I promise. But then somewhere that got replaced by an IFS officer and then for a long time it remained IFS officer.
Then I was hell-bent on pursuing journalism and then class 10 happened, where unfortunately I scored well and went into science. I love science but I love journalism too.
Now that I was put into science like most of us I had only two options in front of me doctor or engineer. Then I chose engineering although being a doctor is what I loved. I don’t regret doing engineering but then I wanted to work as a secret agent or a detective in CIA. Blame all the crime series I saw. Whom was I kidding?
Then in engineering, everyone kept on pestering to decide if I would like to work in the electronics sector (electronics) or software sector. I wanted to be only in electronics sector and guess what I am doing? No points for guessing. I am working in IT.
I once wanted to be criminal lawyer, fight for justice too. Then, I had this dream of having multiple jobs. Wake up in the morning,get ready sign off a few deals and get good profits to my company, and then be the defence lawyer of a friend and fight for justice. Just when I have done both of this my partner would call me and discuss about a recent murder and where it was so that I would come to the murder site to investigate, then after lunch I would wear my scrub and be a famous cardio thoracic surgeon. If not famous at least a good one, with great bunch of friends, have a drink. Make dinner, write and read book to sleep.
Alas, it remained a wishful thinking. How exciting life would be if we could play so many roles instead of just one mundane work?

Hahaha…..I find you to be more and more like me Ramya! Many lives….one life! Loved this post!
High 5, Kala! Thank you
Haha, we were all in the same boat! The tenth standard, science and now engineering. How is it that so many of us have the same fate? 😛 And I wanted to be a teacher too, and still a journalist. Also once, an astronomer. But one thing remained constant – to be a writer . Wishful thinking is so nice isn’t it? 😛
