CLICK

I woke up and I was in a glassy world. I found myself trapped in a glassy film around me. I could not see anything but distorted images of my own face. One sound was echoing inside that bubble. It was pricking my mind. The pain was unbearable for me. That voice kept coming back. It was choking me. The words "WHAT DO I WANT TO BE?" were drilling through my mind. CLICK!! The bubble bursts and you are in broad daylight. I woke up to realize that it was just a bad dream.
This happens to a lot of youngsters. You dream that you are falling or you are trapped and there is no one in this entire universe who can save you. Leave alone saving, you cant even see anybody else in your dream.

I too have such nightmares. But the fact remains, WHAT THE HELL DO I FINALLY WANT TO BECOME? I myself have not arrived at an answer for this question. I don't know what I finally want to become in life. As soon as I watch a detective movie or a spy thriller or a bond movie, I want to be a secret service agent. When I watch an army movie or an action flick I want to become an army man, one who lays down his life for the nation. When I read about big business deals or about successful businessmen, I want to be a big-shot investor, an entrepreneur or something like that. After watching a few 'extreme engineering' episodes I dream of becoming a great scientist/engineer. Whenever I decide on doing a thing something else lures me. I still have not found the perfect thing for me. I hope to find it soon.

I guess, Life's like that. But on close examination of these options we can find a common thread that connects all these different types of careers or life paths. And that common thread is HAPPINESS. Finally we want to be happy. Even if I don't crack CAT this year or I fail in a subject or two ( believe me, failing in engg exams is very difficult) or I sit idle for the next six months; the most important thing is to be HAPPY.
Anything in this life will be useless if I am not happy with it. Although neither have I seen the happiest moment nor have I found out the thing that gives me the most amount of happiness. But for the sake of it I have realized that the most essential part of living is being HAPPY. Hence it is my "New Year Resolution is to be HAPPY".
One might experience it anywhere anytime. I experienced this click moment when I was travelling in a bus. Gautam Buddha experienced it under a tree (his level of enlightenment was obviously higher ;-) )but there will be a sudden feeling of weightlessness and bliss once u do that.
Anyways MERRY CHRISTMAS.
