I saw this video on facebook, posted by a friend. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clRgupTDuW4&feature=player_embedded). I never get scared seeing a video but for some reason was very scared after seeing this one. Makes me think if I am doing the right thing in life. Am I missing an important part of my life. Its been about six months that I left India. I am getting used to this place and thats the scariest part. US has been very kind to me so far, people have been very sweet (although some people say its not the true them, I beg to differ), its very scenic and beautiful but still I do not want a greencard, US citizenship, not even like being called NRI.
Looking back the only reason I came here was I needed a break form my work. And this was the most obvious path or rather a path followed by many before. All thats written in the SOP is not true.
Its almost like a catch22 situation now. Suddenly when I want to go back, I have the loan money running on me. Which means i cant go back after my masters. If all goes well, I would recover my money by working a couple of years after my MS. But do I want to wait that long?? Will I be able to make a decision after 2 years to go back?? These are questions that linger my mind and I still do not have an answer for them.
But the other question which is more interesting one. What do I want to do if I go back to India?? I do not have a clear idea of what I want to do, however I clearly know I do not want to do anything related what I am doing so far. If I had full freedom to do whatever I want, these were a few things I would have liked to do after going back to India.
Politics : Given the number of scams that are coming out, even I want to try and get my share. On a serious note I want to be part of it as I have a gut feeling that I will do good. Not because I am qualified to be there but just for the fact that I want to do good at that stage. This option looks very unrealistic for now.
Race Horse Trainer : The biggest motivation for this is I can combine and work with my uncles and brother. I feel the combination could be lethal. The pure pleasure of working with them would be killer. Although, profession by itself is very challenging one. But if I want to get into it, the biggest challenge is convincing my family for they feel there are enough people struggling there already.
Professor : This is the interesting of the ones for one reason that its actually a realistic one. I dont want to teach the technical stuff, atleast not the way it was taught to me. I want to make education more fun and more intuitive. I would like to take the approach of the US education system back to India.
There are a lot of things that are going to stop me from doing any of this. If I add all of them to this post, it will be unnecessarily long. That will be another post by itself.
So thats it for now.
Cheers,
Sri!!!
