Discovering myself..

The title of the post gives you brief idea of the thoughts going on in my mind at this time. What am I and what I want to do with my life? Being a 26 year old I am supposed to have the clarity of thoughts but sometimes I feel I am still confused..

Its more than a month, my beloved Aaji passed away and it just made me think about her journey. Being a selfless teacher for deaf and dumb people, her life is truly an inspiration for all of us. After meeting her students who are now able to communicate with all normal persons, who are earning a living on their own, I just realized the worth of her life. In a span of 88 years, she has changed so many lives.

Coming from a family where most people are in professions such as medical profession and teaching profession, I realize sometimes what do I give back to this society through my profession. As a software professional what do I do for others? Is this what I want to do in my life?

Right from wearing that professional attitude to talking in polished and fluent English to my manager in United States of America, these are not the things I really want to do. I also want to do work that will go beyond earning money and rising up in the career. And now I slowly feel that I really know what I want from my life and what I really want to do in my life.  I have really started discovering myself...
