Yes people, I keep blogging about my personal life, if it's a matter of concern to you and you don't like it, don't visit this page again!

"I don't intend to build in order to have clients; I intend to have clients in order to build."
- Howard Roark, The Fountainhead

What Roark means is that he wouldn't compromise his ideals just for the sake of society or just for the sake of making money and existing. He, like me, intends to live life the way he chooses to.

Now coming back to my life, I ask myself, IS MY LIFE A COMPROMISE? Through all the things I've ever done (except blogging), is there anything I have done for myself? Is my life a puppet show? Is this what I'm here on earth for - watching other people boss over my life?

I mean if I take a look back at my life, which is what I am going to do now, you'll see that my life has been a series of compromises for society's sake, for my parent's sake, for apparently my future's sake. In all of this what about MY PITY'S SAKE?

When in school I compromised playing time and being with friends after school for studying what the values of x and y were and the way plants reproduce.

When in 11th and 12th, I compromised joy and playing cricket for sitting at home and studying for exams which contained questions about triangles, circles and a whole lot of crap.

Now while doing an extended course of engineering I have compromised my happiness and half a decade of my life's time to studying the many ways in which man pollutes earth.

Through a life spanning (until now) more than two decades, I have never lived - I have merely existed/survived and am nothing but the leftover of my real self.

So I ask - Is my life not worth living? Is it really that hard for parents of today to allow their children to do what they want at an early stage in life? (if 16/17 is early!).

Most of my friends feel the same way as I do, so this isn't just me! I have friends who wanted to be photographers who are studying the DNA of Rats. I have friends who wanted to be in theatre studying Java and C++. I have friends who wanted to be singing for a rock band studying the way a microprocessor works.

I know these people might not be successful at what they want to do, but atleast they'll be happy. And anyways weren't we taught that failures are the stepping stones to success!!

In all the desires and ambitions of a silly parent who wants his/her kid to become a somebody one day - our generation has become a generation nobody! Always obeying what they tell, always doing what they want. And through all of this we can't even rebel - WHY? cause they bloody pro-created us and raised us.

P.S. - On a happier note, the women's bill was passed. So atleast half of the population has reason to be happy!!
