The wind is soothing , sending a chill all over me.
Empty beer cans and cigarette buds lying around.
Psychedelic waves of pink floyd ringing all over my senses.
The faces of long lost friends, girlfriends and all other happenings in my life till this moment, are the only interruptions.
And what am I supposed to be embarking on?
Preparation for the IIM interview that’s about three weeks away!!!!!!!!!
Not that this mood and ambience is not going along really well with my task.
After all Iam trying to answer one of the most frequently asked but seldom prepared questions …..”Where do you see yourself in the future and how do you think an MBA at IIM C would help you in that?”…….
Well, doesn’t the task really fit into the happenings around.
OK let me rephrase it…” What do you really want to do with this God given gift that people call LIFE?”
Anyone bitten by the CAT bug but who has survived it has only one thing to say.
Be really frank in your interview.
Which tells me that the only way to get answers out of your mind is by being truthful to yourself.
By going through all those happenings ,those emotions ,those aspirations ,those triumphs and those setbacks that you still willingly or unwillingly carry in your mind.
And what more other than psychadelic music and a little bit of alchohol and tobacco smoke can help you in revealing your self to yourself ????
So after this one on one session with myself I will uncover the truth, which would make me more focussed more responsible and more single sighted .
I would be able to scale the heights of my professional life through determination and the non distractive mind that I would have moulded for myself.
I would be well versed in finishing unfinishable assignments, in meeting deadlines and in carrying the responsibilities knowingly or unknowingly weighted on my shoulders .
But I have one prayer ............
Whatever I may strive to achieve and to whatever extent I may be ready to go for the same , atleast at some moments in my life however fleeting they may be, may I have the same feeling of lightness in my heart that Iam feeling now.
At least at some sparkling instances let me have the featherly touch of thinking about nothing and nothingness alone.
May I realize the freedom that none other than myself can grant me.
May I fly in the timeless space of the world like a kite that’s just broke its string.
May I be what Iam and be ecstasic about just that.
May I feel myself and never regret it.
May I be me
PS: At the end of it all there is just one question unanswered…….Am I drunk???
