On why the song in you heart should be on your lips too

May to November...helluva long time considering i have blogging as one of my interests mentioned on my CV. Speaking of CV's, thats what has been the talk of the town (or rather the campus) out here with the summer placements in full flow. But the thoughts i am about to pen down aren't about summer placements and about IIMA, they address a much larger frame of reference. The thoughts were inspired while listening to my favorite song... "Phir dekhiye..." from rock on. The lyrics say something about..."hoton pe jiske...koi toh geet hain...woh haare bhi toh uski hi jeet hain..." Oh i would so love to live life like that!! With a song on my lips and the feeling of not caring about consequences...and people who know me before IIMA will probably think that i sold my soul to be the studious busybody i am out here. On the other hand my dorm mates are of the opinion that i always sleep, watch movies, play FIFA and in general loaf around. Well all i can say is that the difference is merely the frame of reference. Ofcourse i am not the same lazy, careless person i was before...but by the standards here i am. Is this post sounding too narcissist? pardon me if it does. My point is, why do we find it so hard always to find our true calling? Why do we feel the need to "prepare" ourselves so that we "perform" well on a given occasion? I mean when does one feel satisfied? The personal expectations never cease do they?...The only way to be happy, content and satisfied is to follow the oft repeated but seldom followed adage of  "Goddamit just Be Yourself"

For those who followed the ramblings above...good for you!!
For those who didnt and want to enter into an argument with the author...go watch October Sky(again and again)...listen to "Phir Dekhiye" from Rock On (again and again)...and dont bother the author before doing those things
