heyy wot do u do for a living .........
do you sit in front of a plain old box writing lines of code, which you find hard to interpret to a layman who turns to ask you, 'woman what do you do..write mathematics on a box???'do you work for the army and deliver food to the flood hit on dingys in remote east and wait for war to decorate your tabs, and if with family are not interested in either?
do you work in a six star luxury hotel with nothing much to do but cater to the running smooth of the place you go to work, which is running smooth anyways. you have offs on a week day when the whole world is busy working??
did you pass out of the most happening B School to find yourself selling dettol in wilderness and nooks and roads of the country you had only seen on aaj-tak!
or are you getting a monthly stipend while at research which is bound to go for aeons, conflicted if you should have picked up the job that your other class mate took out of insecurity?
well thats my closet of people who have just started to see the world with a different perspective, that of a livelihood earner...and in the process they are running out on life!!

What do I do for living??? Well, what most people do of my age... Sit in front of a compu all day long...
But is it really important to know... I say I tell you what do I do to live...
To live I love myself... I love many beautiful faces I have met in my life... I love the moments I have shared with many people... I go back to my pages whenever I feel like to be with them... I am happy because the world I want is always around me, with me...
Whats wrong with plain old box.. or with Selling Dettol? Its a problem only when you do something, just because everyone else is doing, or your parents wanted you to do it.
You livelyhood could be "Living" if you love what you do for Livelyhood. I sit in front of the "box" and code away to glory.. because I love doing it. Those are happiest moments that I have. The sheer joy of creating something out of nothing( well 0s and 1s), that someone else will use and feel that his life is easier, if only for a few moments every day. But I also love to play cricket with Children around my home. I love to sit with my mom or friends and talk for hours about everything in this world. I love to buy a ticket for a train journey on a whim.. and just spend all the time looking at awesome beauty that lies out there. Whats wrong with this? Am I running out on life? I would be, if I was doing somethign that I dont want\love to. :) Thats my perpective since I came out of college five years back. And I am loving it.
beautiful writing...keep it up...it is really wonderful to read u :)
:) .. good question - lemme ponder n get back to u ;) :P ... hmm.. *in a thinking mode now* ....
