"what is it thet interests you Meera..?"...asked her father one very fine...okay not so fine but a typical north indian morning with glasses clattering.....brooms all over here and there...tea being prepared every now and then...bathrooms colonized...and yes the same newspaper being constantly read again and again.
Every one in the family read the news that interested him or her and then used to become a Sir Oracle.."when i ope my lips..let no dog bark"..okay that was tooo much of literary pun."If i did what interested me dad...this question would have been asked by OPRAH WINFREY....she replied sarcastically.." . Yes Sarcasm...this was one thing Meera really loved...but knew the consequences...she had kind of wanted people to hate her but didnt actually did anything so felonious...Her mornings, evening, nights all just used to be occupied with a hope that someday when she has finally done everything her parents wanted..."also returned their money spent on her"(i quote her)...She would do something that intrigues her. Actually she was right...whatever career we choose either has something for society or our parents..not all actually very few lucky people... i must say get the chance of being asked the QUESTION...."DO WHAT YOU WANT".But Meera had no complains..she had submitted to the fact of studying SCIENCE..which no doubt was interesting...rewarding...a honour for her parents to say that she is studying science...at Bachelors level...but that was the question...A girl who always paid heed to her interests suddenly surrendered to the verdicts of her parents....and did whatever told with that killer SMILE...which actually catalysed everything...Studying CHEMISTRY with old songs got her like...."THEY CATALYSE MY LEARNING OF CHEMISTRY OTHERWISE I WILL SUCCUMB....."
Doing something that interest you is not always selfishness...it is actually a dream that a kid sees since he or she is asked as toddler..."WHAT WILL YOU BE WHEN YOU GROW UP".....
