All the things I want to be

Through the years, various fields and professions have fascinated me. I would have liked to be them but alas, life is short and mental and physical capabilities are limited. So I restricted myself to being a software engineer. Here goes:

Air force pilot - its cool… and flying!

Navy pilot/fighter  - the sea, the tension .long periods of nothingness and then little bit of high octane action

Marine biologist - Love whales!

Garbage truck driver - skilled profession of driving bigass vehicles, manoeuvring the pickup arm and dumping it into the truck. If lucky get to pick some good discarded items. Like barely used furniture.

NDRF - Going to dangerous places, saving people. Feels like an important job

Travel blogger -  get to travel and write

Writer/author - write random stories

Farmer - Take care of plants, grow and eat the same food. Be in the outdoors

Environmentalist - Work full time on solutions for environmental problems

Astronaut - space, explorer of galaxies

Scientist - Come up with cool new inventions.

Librarian - Books of course!

Entrepreneur - this is a new addition. dont know entrepreneur of what business, but want my own thing

Creeping towards 30

Shit. Just a few more months to hit 30!! I am having a mid life crisis here. What am I doing here on earth? What significant things have I done so far?? What does my future hold for me??? Much older people are totally going to use my age against me and "brag" about how they already had three kids when they were my age. Ugghh. Maybe it would come as a shock to them but my lifes aim is not to have kids. I am completely against the idea of producing kids just for recreational purposes. Don't we already have enough humans crawling on our planet? What do other sane folks do when they turn 30? Go on a world trip, do adrenaline pumping adventure sports, take a sabbatical to write a novel or pretty much do anything they damn please. I guess a lot of it is to celebrate their life so far, be reckless and carefree again and just be that same old crazy-at-heart soul. And then there are those who worry so much about the present and the future that they forget to live. Or be obsesse...

"The scariest moment is always before you start"

Came across this lovely quote today, "The scariest moment is always before you start" and found it to be so true. My mind keeps coming up with absurd reasons to NOT do something which I really want to do, but which scares the living day lights out of me. The one constant thing that I have always wanted to do was write. Everything else kept changing; from being a environmentalist to being a tech guru to being a social worker. Well now I'm none of these and at the same time I'm all of this. I am in a mediocre job related to tech, with a few hours of volunteering at humanitarian events and also a preacher of protecting the environment to my near and dear ones (who never listen to me). But what I still haven't done, is actually write about something that I'm passionate about. When I was 11 years old, I had started writing a story. It was such a world-encompassing far-fetched story that I smile every time I think about it. It involved the characters of The Fam...

Time is short and getting shorter

I'm staying with my parents for 2 weeks to just chill at home and eat nice food before I get back into the grind at work. Unfortunately after COVID, the world has realized that it's easy to work from home and people just still work at home instead of trying to recover, refresh and rejuvenate with friends and family or in solitary. And that’s what I was doing.  I thoroughly enjoyed eating nice homely food, the type which also brought back childhood memories. Apart from a few fancy dishes it was just very regular everyday meals. I have no idea why, but it just tasted out of the world. Is the secret ingredient really love? Sounds corny but hey, who knows.  While I have been here, instead of talking to my parents or listening to their problems I have had to continue to work. I was really contemplating if I should have just filed for leave instead of wasting my time working here at home. But I still observed plenty by staying around them. I have realized how much wear and tear ther...
