The dream...

Tonight was a mixed day for so many of those age old sayings...



My manager asked me what my plans for future were and whether i was going to stay with Infy and whether I was planning for higher studies.. and i said yes.

Saying number one... Think before you speak.. and i was found guilty of making the same mistake again.



He asked whether I would be leaving Infy then.. I said yes if i get through a good college.. I will.



Saying number two.. Honesty is the best policy.. may be.. may be not. Honesty might be good for the soul but can be bad for your career.



I told him that yes I have plans for higher studies and would like to try once I go back..



When I asked him why suddenly this discussion came up.. he said he wanted to file H1-B for me as I was one of the top performers and there where projects in US...

Saying number three and the burden of realisation... arrow from a bow and words from mouth do not come back. It was so true for me tonight.

I had shut down down the doors to one of the biggets opportunities I would ever get.. I sacrificed it to my dream since last 5 years.. an MBA.

And immediately after the call I felt I have made a mistake.But it has so often happend to me that the decisions I have thought to be good for me have turned up futile.

Finally it made me wonder... Is life really about making the right decisions.. or is it about making the difficult ones and still have a smile on your face..and hoping against hope that the decision you made is correct.
