As a kid, I never had a grand plan for my life. I might have planned for how to study for the upcoming exam, or what to do after I graduate. But that was looking ahead at most 1 year. I never dreamed about what would I do after 5 years or 10 years. Things just happened, and I followed along. Looking at where am I right now does amuse me sometimes.
I never thought that:
- There would be a time frame when both, Aj & me will be students.
When we got married, both of us were 25+. Who would have thought then that each of us would be student again, and there would be an overlapping time period when both are students at the same time!
- I will stay in USA for 5 years. Or for that matter, I will stay within an hour's drive from NYC.
Though I would have liked to visit other countries, I never dreamed about going abroad or staying abroad. I thought I was quite satisfied with living in India (or भारत!).
- I will pursue a PhD.
After finishing my masters degree, I started working in software industry. I did not see myself going back to academia to get another degree.
Sometimes, life surprises you in many ways. And I am happy about it.
