Aage kya karna hai?

Aage kya karna  hai? Guys don't get worried i am not asking you this question. This is the question which has been haunting me ( & every student) since i passed board exams. One good thing about it is that you know that every Uncle, Aunt or relative you are going to meet will be asking this question so you can fabricate some answer in advance. Its some sort of ritual, no matter what conversation is going on it will invariably lead to my studies and then the omnipotent question "To beta aage kya karna hai". well i try to answer it in simplest of ways to avoid further discussion but even then i rarely get away without a advice or two.

             Today got a call from a relative( to be exact maternal uncle's brother's son) and after some formal talks, the conversation reached to the unavoidable question of Aage kya karna hai. Being a elder he must have felt that he needs to give some advice ( bade hone ka kya fayda jab tak choto ko lecture na sunao). Advice from elders is a good thing but you don't expect Messi to teach Raina to how to play bouncers. You are from different field, you don't know what my thoughts are, you don't know what i am interested in and you come up with your own plan and that too for my future. I tried my best to avoid the topic without getting in some sort of argument.
             
              Sometimes it becomes irritating to tolerate those kind of discussions. Don't get me wrong, advices are always welcome. If someone wants to discuss about my career with me then it means they are interested in my future which is heartening to know. But people should understand that if i am going to do something then obviously i must have given a thought to it. i am not a crazy minded teenager anymore ( i guess i never was). I have always decided what i am going to do and this theory works for me. When you know you are responsible for your decisions and you have got no one to blame, you work harder, you give your best. Fortunately my dad and mom understand me well and they allow me to do whatever i want to. They never objected my ways, it obviously helps that before taking a decision i try to take their point of view. Days like today makes me feel how lucky i am to have parents like them.

      planning to visit them sometime soon, may be at the end of July.
