Someone quipped, “Life has to be understood backwards; but lived forwards”. But seriously speaking, at any given situation, how do we decide one way or the other? There are times at which, life just takes you on a roller coaster and the choices given to you are either, yes/yes or no/no. If so, you just make up your mind to make the best of the outcomes. On the contrary, if there is an option of making a choice, how to go about? Especially if the matter at discussion is important to you and family and others are involved?
Two years back, when I returned back from Belgium I had to choose either to stay in Chennai or move to Bangalore. I chose to stay with my sister and in an ironic twist she left to Bangalore. I’ve not regretted the decision, though. This year, with its goodness, puts me in crossroads often. Last time, I gave such serious thought was to quit the firm I’ve been with for seven long years. It was difficult emotionally, yet there were lots of positive factors that constituted the decision that I made. I am into a crossroad again. Lots of discussion is going on between sister, parents and me. The trouble this time is both options seem equally good and equally bad. None of us could make our mind into either way. Hopefully soon, we will arrive at a conclusive decision.
