A couple of months ago the last of my old set was moving further south with bag and baggage when I told her that Hyderabad had become "alien". All the familiar people had moved out and all the familiar places were off limits (terrorists had struck twice in the preceding days). I really felt like I was just biding my time till I could move too. What was my raison-de-etre?
A couple of weeks ago I watched "Jab We Met" which talks about living life to the fullest and on your own terms. Liked the idea because it got me thinking. Is doing your own thing/ living life to the fullest at the cost of others' feelings? Of those who love you? A corollary is, "Have no regrets"; if your actions/ desires lead someone you love to have regrets, does the paradigm change?
A couple of days ago I travelled 300 kms so that I would have one lesser regret when I left Hyderabad. The secret is that the moment you start doing what your heart tells you to do, you have no regrets as long as it does not impact someone else. Having no regrets is the beginning of freedom. I don't need to think hard about what those things are that I've always wanted to do but not made a start.
A couple of seconds ago I made a mental note. 10 points. Yup, I'm going after them!
