When I was small, I always remember my Mom saying, she wanted me to be a doctor, well she was a desperate doctor fan and wanted me to save many lives.
As I grew up my Dad wanted me to be a doctor, just like those amazing fathers he never forced me or insisted me into anything but just wanted me to be the best.
When I was in class 8 I was the captain of my basket ball team which was supposed to go for a inter school match and that did not happen, then I thought I must be someone like Micheal Jordan or Kobe making it big in the basketball court.
When I was in 9th grade I played a little cricket, I loved playing cricket the professional way, and that’s when I knew, A small Sachin was within me but totally out of form, thought I will bring him to life, but screwed up at the district selections and knew that was not my fort..
When I was in class 10 I thought I should become a Chartered accountant coz my interest was more towards doing the toughest in the easiest group.But I did score a few good marks in few papers and landed in biology group, man an accountant was no more in my dreams and the best part I managed to have a few accountant friends.
During my 11th I thought I will become a doctor but was never so serious about it.
Saw the way Eminem rap and thought must do something out standing like him.
During my 12th my dad wanted me to become a doctor and he even said I will be a doctor, but the way I enjoyed school life I knew doctor was never gonna be a reality.
Then landed up in engineering, but that time I wanted to be a serious engineer.
During my college saw a few corruptions and scandals in politics and thought I must be a politician and bring a change, but that co exists in the Indian way so decide not to step in to it.
Saw too many movies the slow paced movies with a lot of emotion, movies that never had anything to tell, but those that gave a lasting feel of love and peace, I then decide to do a film, I thought I must try my hands in the so called direction.
A software engineer was next, these codes, these standards, and these deadlines everything seems interesting.
Everybody and every body wants to be somebody someday. Well even I wanted to be in the shoes of so many people, even my parents wanted me to fit in somewhere so that they can admire the way I fit into the place and serve the purpose, well the purpose it’s a different story, now to my point. Every one comes for a purpose but it is not necessary they should serve the purpose, you can’t expect Sachin to score a century every time he goes to bat, like wise you can’t be all, but you can for sure be someone. Oops should I blame the word someone coz it has some and one, yea I can be some of these for sure, but whatever it is be the one that you want to be, and surely someday you can turn back and feel happy about it.I really wanna be me, i mean the one in me…
