Crossroads

-
Every now and then we come to a point in our life when a decision we have to make will change everything. The worst part is that we can't go back if we went the wrong way. As a kid, like all other kids, I wanted to end up rich when I grew old. I also always wanted the easy way out. As I grew up, one thing I did learn is that nothing in this world worth having comes easy. Money was no longer my priority. All of a sudden I wanted to help people. When I realized this, I was already way past the fork in the road. Only then did I know that I should have become a doctor. What can I do to redeem my self? At this point, I have no idea and I hope somewhere in this journey we call life I will find the answer.

The few things I am certain of is that this is going to be my first Christmas without him, my first birthday without talking to him and a whole lot more firsts I'm not looking forward to. They say time is then greatest healer, but some voids cannot be filled. Most super heroes have dead parents in their past, this is because the fear of losing a parent is something any reader can relate to, the death forcing

Red Light...! Green Light...!

Truly Asian experience in 10 points: 1) Even though it was past 3 am when we were racing across the streets of KL for the first time, the streets were empty, except for the girls on their last shift, still managing the high heels and red dresses. All the signals were green, but in my head all the lights were red... 2) The annoying thing about working on the 50th floor of a building is that your ears pop each time you go up, even on your lunch break! But the view is to die for! 3) Had dinner with a princess (I'm not joking, but I didn't know till half way through the main course) 4) Currently working with a ex-national team hockey player, I understood not all sportsmen don't end up rich! 5) On a culinary side I ate sushi, sashimi, squid and snails. Yes I'm a vulture, my stomach digests anything! 6) Bollywood is popular even in places you least expect it 7) Felt good that for a change, a majority of the Indians in this country are not from Kerala! In fact, t
