Many a times in our lives we come across situations when we ask ourselves a million times 'What am I doing?'. Last nite I was in a similar situation when I was asked to speak infront of an audience without any preparation. Well it was thanks to my friend George who ditched us at the last moment courtesy cold feet.I had the most beautiful chance to embarass myself and had to be really good to win the audience. So I asked them aloud 'what am I doing' here.
I told them that this is the story of my life, I would do things which according to someone else was Dumb, but hey I am good at doing Dumb things.
Years ago it was the eve of my marriage and a few friends and cousins of mine had joined to share the last few hours of bachelorhood. One discussion lead to another and soon the discussion was about marriage has changed their life 180deg. Why on the eve of my marriage, I asked and a cousin replied....... Don't worry u'll get used to it. And I thot to myself..... What am I doing?
A few more years back, I had for some reason been part of politics in college and I had filled out my nomination as a proxy for someone else. Knowing nothing about the art of talking I still put my name as I knew I had to withdraw on the last day. But my friend whose proxy I was, ditched me. And there I was standing as a candidate in front of people whom I am supposed to lure in my favour. Well I lost........decently. But b4 that I asked myself several times 'What am I doing?'
Last year during the outbreak of ression I was calling my friend to tell him I was going for my wife's delivery and he asked me....... Why now? Its recession. Strange question. How would I know that 9 months ago on that wonderful night we had? Hey, but with the market crumbling around me and people losing jobs I asked myself..... 'What am I doing?'.
But hey here I am today happy and contented ....... U know why? Because I took all these challenges in a casual way. I was doing my job and not expecting a 100/100.
Sometimes its better not to ask urself so many questions...... Just do it.
Today I am sure I would do more, and may be embarass myself .......
But yes my heart wants MORE..... Yeh dil MAAnGe More
