For the record...i've stolen the title from a fwd. What follows is my take on "1/4 life crisis".
I remember those days (back in 1999-2000) when me and my classmates (who are now supposed to me my 'best-friends'...we hardly keep in touch but they're still me best friends) used to bunk class and stay on campus...chill out under the sycamore and christmas trees around the college Kiosk...lazing around...gossiping and drinking coke, eating the infamous college egg-patties.....we had absoultely no aim in life...no goals...no ambitions...just wanted to enjoy our freedom and be rebelious. This continued for almost 3 years out of the 5 years in under-grad college.
Look at me today (5 years later), I've transformed myself into this geek who has nothin' better to do in life than read her management text books, watch CNBC, BBC, maybe a bit of Ch.V, and bury her head in the Harvard Business Review magazine (it's a good mag BTW) and other such magazines and papers.
How times change and so do we.
It's true "Change is the only permanent phenomenon".
I've seemed to have geared up for the corporate world (though am one with no work ex). I'm ready to take on any challenge that heads my way.
At times I wonder why my life is not a bed of roses, that's when I realise that if it were a bed of roses I wouldn't have grown so far and so strong.
