When I was a kid...

I used to think about life and the possibilities used to blow me away. Slowly and slowly i started liking what i had and got greedy. I felt that if i loose this little everything will be lost. Change started looking like the biggest enemy. The dreadful sinking feeling kept on coming whenever there was talk about any change. I forgot how i used to be when i was a kid.

I remember the day i felt like a king because i was the best at playing Tekken3 in my whole sector. Those small things made so much difference in my life. They meant everything to me and I was complete in myself. I dont know why , i dont know how but something in me changed while i was in preparing to be a part of the rat race.

Before engineering , i too like so many other aspirants started running without knowing why. We ran and we ran like hell. Overcoming so many obstacles , tests , study sessions and fought to take a place in the prestigious IIT. I like most of my friends lost that race :) But the race stayed in me. From a kid who was absolute , i transformed into a boy who s afraid. Afraid of taking the next step , afraid of trying unconventional , afraid of admitting the truth.

Today , after a long long time , i feel that change is good. If anything , it makes u get closer to your real self.It makes u get closer to the time when you were a kid.
