3 things....

when i was a kid; i had only 3 things on my mind that i wanted to achieve from my life; not sure if that was the result of interaction with some wise chap or a wild strong minded idea of my own origin- and three things were 1- i wanted to visit rome and sit in the forum thinking about rome's glorious past 2-i wanted to marry a dashing woman, the kind who drived me mad and 3-i wanted to earn a lot of money so that i could live in the best hotels in the world , travel in first class mode and go wherever i wanted in the world ...... life has moved on.....regarding 1- i have visited rome and sat in the forum for hours and dreamt about the smartest of ancient people that made up the most romantic chapter in human history......regarding 2- i am about to marry a girl; i am sure she would drive me mad :) and 3- i am working hard; pushing my abilities to the limits, sometimes beyond to make a mark; win some 'big' hearts and make my way up the ladder of my profession..... i praise myself sometimes that my expectations in life haven't fluctuated much since then, so far. i am content in what i get and i believe somehow that is my biggest self consolation.....for whatever i am and whatever i am not.
