One more month away

In exactly 30 days, I would be hitting a yet another new milestone - the quarter mile. Looking back at life so far, I can't help but realise how much I have changed. From being a meddlesome toddler whose life's ambition was to be that doctor who would follow her father's footsteps, to a content and happy media person. Indeed, I have come a long way. As a child, I was never exposed to the world of greys. Everything had two sides  - the good and the bad. Nobody believed in the concept of 'acceptable,' or even 'satisfactory.' As I gradually opened my eyes to the big-but-not-so-bad-world, I began noticing the finer subtleties to life. I noticed how the broadminded remained so until the ball was in their court. I noticed how fair play and partiality are often synonymous of each other. I noticed how privacy or personal space - not matter how well-defined- is never truly personal or private :). But most of all, I had learnt that your life, your destiny is shaped by the choices you make and the consequences that are bound doing so. I had sought many an opportunity, cherished most of them, and I have had several stories to share from the experiences that I have gained. All in all, I would say the ride has only begun. I have more to explore, experience and embrace.
