It was very simple at the beginning. There was always only one good path and you had to follow it. At least, that's how I saw life. Right through my school days and into college, I was never in doubt as to what I wanted in life. Today, however, the doubt has crept in. The good path has branched out.
MS/PhD, IIMs, Job -- I guess some part of me wants to pursue each of these. At this crossroad of life, it is so very difficult to make the right call with "zero lookahead". Yet, we have to. So, the best way to handle such situations is procrastination ;) Keep all avenues open and decide at the very end.
The little irony is that while I speak of all these options, I actually don't have a single offer. But I am only speaking about the dilemma of all those who will be lucky enough to have some option, and wishing that I will be one of them :)
If only life were as simple as it was before. Just the one good path and no crossroads. Sooner or later, the dream of the simple life had to go away. This probably is the first realization of reality. Thankfully, it isn't the shocker it could have been!

atlast the first blog without "love" used (ex/im)plicitly. (statutory warning for unsuspecting blog readers: the dilemmas presented in the blog are purely fictional in nature and any resemblance to reality is purely imaginary :P)..... still the first blog tht never recovered from the sad undertone..somehow reminds me of a great one liner from "The Weatherman" ...."The word easy does not enter into adult life"
abe rota rehiyo... aur aaj tu bahgwaan pe gussa aa raha hain mujhe? pooch kyun?
@romram : kyun ?
diya bhi tu tum ronduoon ko, jo hone pe bhi rote rehte hain, mujhe deta tu main ek dum jhakas bindas hooke rehta.....
@bhagwan: aaj khush tu bahut hoge tum
When will that crossroad come, when you will be choosing just 1 amongst the numerous gals ;)
if you think a bit you will feel that every moment of life is a crossroad......
