and you know what's so ironic? i was thinking about similar things today!! i was sitting in the car outside of my papa's office to pick him up today. as i was waiting, i was thinking about how in order to move forward, so many people have had to sacrifice so much along the way. would i be ready to let a loved one go for the sake of their determination and subsequent societal benefit? for example, barack obama; he had made a comfortable life for himself and his family. but then he decided to become president which subsequently put his life at great risk. and his wife, michelle, remained a strong supporter and encourager of him. would i have the strength to do that?
when i was talking to avi dada the other day, he was telling me how he wants to do SOMETHING... he felt his achievements so far have been selfish and not in direct service to others. so i told him about "engineers without borders" which he could embark on after his MBA. he was excited. and i said i'd go with him on such projects hehe(you dont have to be an engineer to be a part of the group). they do stuff like sharuhk khan did in swades for example ;) anyway, i guess what iam trying to say is that i'd be ready to let someone go if that is what they really wanted; this may pose a risk to their wellbeing -- hence i would go with them too
so intersting that u brought up on ur blog a very similar thought i was thinkng about today...u know me so well ;) okay, back to outlining my hand... :D
deep yaar
