Retrospect me

When my professional career had just kick started, I was a part of this retrospective meeting on a project which 'd little significance to me. As a fresher I could only think of " Now whats that supposed to mean! ".

It made sense later when there was another retrospective meeting for one of my projects. Then a thought just floated thru my mind "Y not a retrospective review of the goneby quarter century of my LIFE?". And here I start my first ever blog and I cant think of a better topic than to blog about myself.

It has been a quite a journey from a tiny tot to a kid to a teenager and now to a girl on the thresholds of a woman.

Mom says, as a tiny tot I was a well behaved kid - no nagging cries and definitely not the tarale (the naughty) types. But not the tarale types meaning not a very inquistive one... doesnt sound too good to me!

As a kid, I have had no special achievements. It was a nice life for me with my small little family. Studies wasnt all that tough, but blame it on the education system which thrives on the cramming system! Sharing a slot in the top 5 was an "achievement" then but now I rather term it as "koopamandooka". I had very limited interest in sports neither to follow it nor to play. But I had this special interest in reading... . My foray into reading started with those fairy tales with illustrations, the pictures there looked larger than life and I discovered my new world in books. And then it graded up to chandamama, tinkles, tintin, nancy drew, fictions and then as the cliche goes "rest is history".

Then came the teens bringing in its own troubles. I advanced to college, the world was all new... the so called koopamandooka found herself in a big river. There was a lack of individuality and confidence. I felt I had to scream to make myself heard.

And then the course of the life changed all of a sudden. Something unthinkable happened. Confidence levels sinked to the abyssmal level. But as the saying goes "Lifes a show, it must go on", I rose as a phoenix from the ashes. Life taught the living. I was a new me, reformed for good. As though aware of the fact that this is indeed a mortal world, there was an urge to live life in a fast lane which was so unlike me. Till date speed scares me! .

When I was stablised with my academics, my low profile dance career became important. For whatever reasons I could not devote much time to my dance during my school days and I started honing the grace from college and I saw myself "enjoying".

There is this one thing which really puzzles me, as a child I had major travel sickness but it seems like it vanished into the thin air overnight. Today I'm a fullto travel freak. Wish to travel to the world's end (PoC -- thats one of my fav movie)...:-)

Thus in the retrospective view, my life has been a rollercoaster. I'll be lying if I say I enjoyed every moment of it but yes I definitely cherish every microsecond of it... :)
