Random Thoughts ...


Was wondering about my achievements and failures in life..

All that came to my mind spontaneously

Achievements :

My campus placement

My O grade in College

My Chennai Trip..2 months

My transformation..

My ..

Come to think of it..I could hardly put down any..

And then I started thinking what is an achievement after all?

I mean yes getting a campus placement?

Almost everyone gets it?

But for me that WAS an achievement, after all I gave 10 interviews ;)

I was never the lucky kinds getting placed on day 1..I had my day 1, day 2, day 3......

hahhaha ya wont completely put it on luck.. ;) I am the slow kinds..

But that was a big high..coz I ended up getting one of the best deals at campus :)

Then my O grade..see that's an achievement coz in our gang of good for nothings..it was a big deal..

I mean we all were fairly good always..but by fluke I got an O once and man..that felt really good..

It actually does when with min efforts and min expectations u get the most unexpected beautiful things :)

I still call it a fluke..

My Chennai trip..now that was really an achievement..I mean yes people to go and stay alone at the most weird places on earth..

And I also had travelled a lot earlier..but Chennai was Chennai..

And it was out of choice that I went there, My adventurous streak..

But I had fun, and I learnt a lot, and I made some of the most amazing friends there :)

So are these all the achievements in my life?

Or is marrying a wonderful friend an achievement? ;)

Or is falling and rising in love an achievement?

Making the best of friends, meeting new people, seeing new places, continuously taking up exciting things..

These are all??

So many people have everything defined in their lives, like this is the moment of my life, this is the disaster...and so on.

I can never do that because every moment has its beauty, pain..basically something called life in it :)

So..

I don't know I have never thought about achievements and failures seriously.

I have failed a couple of times..but I never lost..

Never lost hope, never gave up..

So I really don't call them failures..they were just disappointments :)

And achievements are like good days..they will keep piling in an invisible corner of my brain..and may be when I am 60 and I ask myself..I will write an essay on them :)

May be..

Saw Pursuit of Happyness yesterday..

Pursuit of Happyness is never ending :)

Live life Queensize

So random thoughts will continue ...

Hey Rohini,
thts quite an interesting list of achievements. i know - it doesnt matter how the world views the achievements - its how each person views his/her own achievements and/or failures. i like the way u refer to failures as disappointments.

thanks also for the couple of comments on my blog.

wish u many more achievements in the future.. and none disappointments n failures ahead.

Ciao,
~Ketan
