Dipshit

Friend: Corporate, yes buddy get used to this world. Very soon you are going to be a part of it.

Me: Hmm! Right. But what's the big deal about it. Why the hype & hoo hala?

Friend: You will know soon enough. Its a battlefield, either you win or you are a gonner.

Me: Common man its not as if its a matter of life or death.

Though he didn't say anything, got a hunch that to appriciate & comprehend it, I would have to experience it.

Time passed on, confused as I was came a gentleman professing a subtle theory. Give you three choices:
Shopkeeper, gatekeeper, goalkeeper.

Take your pick, whatever may be your option, remember you will always remain a keeper. Even though you may consititute the pivot of the structure, there would be someone else who would walk away with the limelight.

True! Sounds logical.

Having an M.B.A. suffix my name put me in a class apart. These three alphabets constitued my ticket to fame, name & glory. Corporate world, thats where I am destined for. Family business papa ko hi karne do.

Perhaps I wanted things to go, in the usual fashion. Get a decent job, earn good money, go around with a girl, all goes well settle down. In short, the easy way out. Aab call it destiny or fluke, nothing in my life runs in the typical fashion.

Had it all: placement from the college, decent package & even seemingly the girl I loved.
Aur kya chaheye! But there still seemed something, somewhere was missing. Teased me like a missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle. What will it take to content you? It was killing me inside. All the while the reminise of my dreams kept flashing before my eyes. Ostensibly I was happy, inside burning.

Caught in dipshit was I. How to creep out if it? There was no escape. I could take the easy way out & keep eluding the inevitable. But how for long, cannot fool yourself. One fine day, I decided to tread my destiny. Without any hesitation, any fear, any apprehension in mind, go deep inside to find out how deep the rabbit hole is. Instead of taking shit, I would get down in the gutter to clean it up.

Now I understand those golden words of my friend. All my life what have I been doing but prepare myself for this battle. It can be delayed but not avoided. Face this challenge eye to eye. What ever may be the result, one thing is for sure. There is no looking back.
