I did my B Tech in Mechanical Engineering. Followed by MBA in Finance. You would say a really different topic to do someone’s PG after his Engineering Degree. So was that my destiny? Or was that my choice?

This blog is a response-blog. From Sunshine where he says there can be two types of life. One pre determined by destiny and one where the choices decide the course. May be there is a destiny, or maybe not. I don’t care two hoots to that distinction. The fact that I do know is that I play a very significant part in the whole game; the all essential part of living in it. Without me, there is no destiny, is there? And perhaps there is no ‘me’ without a destiny. But if I am not there, why should I care about destiny? (I am very selfish in that respect)

I agree that I am young. And that I am inexperienced. Highly inexperienced for that matter. But I absolutely LOVE that fact. I am amazed at how much I don’t know. I am enthralled by my ignorance. And so I live life for the fun of it. I might learn a thing or two while living it. But I will not live it just to learn. I really don’t care what destiny has in store for me. If there is something in store, I don’t want to ruin the surprise for my destiny maker. We will play it out gradually. Day by day. But I am not going to think that my each day is pre determined by some weird rules of the worlds and that I am bound to do those exact things planets predicted. Even if it is, just thinking that it is NOT, gives me a freedom. You may call it a false sense of freedom but it is a sense after all. A wonderful sense at that.

Just imagine. If someone told you, whatever you do will not make any impact on your life. It’s already pre determined. Listen, it is this……”  In such a case, will life ever be the same for you? Don’t you love the feeling that you really don’t know anything about life, tomorrow, future? I honestly love that feeling.

So coming back to my first paragraph. After engineering, my parents and relatives wanted me to do M. Tech. I hated it. I hated it from the word go. They forced me to take the entrance exam and I failed. Failing any form of exam for the first time in my life! They wanted me to take the exam again. My best friends were doing it. Usually I would have decided to go on with it but I chose to fight. I didn’t want any part of M. Tech. I want to do MBA in Finance and I fought for it. And I did fight. Literally. It was no fun being Frozen Sun during those two years. And here I am now. So was that destiny? Was that my choice? I don’t know and I don’t care a damn. But this much I know. I don’t know what destiny is. I won’t recognize one if it danced naked in front of me and did a boob shake. But I know when I make a decision. I know it when I make a choice. Because I am that choice. I am that decision. I am my destiny.

My destiny is not to escape from an airplane crash or to save my leg from a wound. My destiny is to make choices which might help me, you and others to lead a better beautiful life.

Before closing this topic, I would say that there are two kinds of people

One, who fall into Group One

Two, who don’t believe in two groups of people

Frozen Sun

PS: Now all you learned people stomp your feet and cry this is all crap. But hey, I am young and inexperienced. Young ones are bound to make mistakes, right? Hehe..

Sunshine, if you read this: As for Vaidehi’s post (http://myspacehere.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/03/13/Decoding-the-future.html). Is life any fun without all the unexpected things it has to offer? If she knew the right person from the start, will she ever value how right he is for her? You would call it destiny and shrug it off. I would say that was her beautifully right choice, of choosing the wrong person at first.
