I suddenly woke up. It just didn't let me sleep. I had to find myself. I couldn't fake it anymore. And then the tears rolled down.
I was talking to my friend this morning. She was all gaga over this girl who was so passionate about following her dreams after Engineering butched her. The girl wanted to do law. But like every other Indian student's story, she too was forced into engineering by her parents. The Result= KTs after KTs and then a drop. That wasn't going to let her down. She started writing for magazines, participating in debates, sketching her imaginations into caricatures and learning new languages. She was Alive.
I too wanted to be alive. I'm churning out a distinction in my Engineering exams, involved in many clubs, chairperson of my college technical fest, attended dozens of workshops, did a foreign internship and keeping my CV bright! But in this process, somewhere I'm losing myself. It's suffocating me now and I'm craving to break free and take in the morning breeze!
So I start charging my handy-cam, and devise a plan in my head. I'm off to break my own rules. And if you too feel the same way as me, then I hope you're unchaining yourself now. Now only my next entries will tell how far I went pursuing my dreams. Fingers- crossed! :)
