My life is based on a true story

Someone once told me that 'You only understand the meaning of what you do when you look at the past. You can only join the dots looking back'. Now when I imagine my earlier education, the days at my mom’s house, grueling engineering results, MBA campus and all... it sounds like there was a story being made. It is still going on.

During my school days I felt like I could achieve anything, become anything. I passed out with flying colors and got selected into engineering. Even though I wanted to do be a medical professional, and getting admission in one of the good colleges, I chose engineering.
I came to know what great brains truly mean :) It just means being smart. Yes. I don't think all engineers are super intelligent. It is just that they are smart. I always thought I am doing something that I shouldn't be doing. ... Engineering??!!! What in the world was I thinking???

When I managed to pass that, fate decided to change sails and after some research I ended up doing MBA (it was also because admissions to other streams were already closed by that time).
I thought I was always the odd person out in the MBA group. Too technical, not wanting to lose the sharpness I got in Engineering. Today when I look back to those days, I feel I want to live them again. If given a choice, I would do everything that I avoided doing during those days - late night parties ;) socializing, bunking lectures, group studies, canteen time pass, etc etc etc. Yet, they were the best days I can remember.

I hardly remember why I chose to stay in Pune. I declined offers from my campus and another offer from Infy to join my present company. When I look back at those earlier job years now, I know I worked hard, achieved great, learnt a lot.

Well, I was beginning to get set in a routine, but the big director - life - doesn't want the story to look boring... it introduced Yogesh to me... and we got married. Even today, everyday, there is a story being written and it feels like I am playing the lead role in it. I am sure there is a great climax to this and looking back at today, I will be happy to see that every phase was so beautiful, so fulfilling.
