What does moving ahead in life mean to you?
 
Success? Degrees? Challenges? Money? Power? Fame?
 
I’ve actually never quite given this question too much thought. Maybe just like everything else I care about but keep pushing towards the back of my head. Kinda like those goods you store in a godown, in every corner..and only retrieve when its time to send them to the suppliers.
 
Really wish I knew what I was talking about. Don’t know where I am, and dont know how to go in the right direction…. The world can force themselves and fool themselves. Benchmark themselves as better than what they are..but I just cant…

(Believe me, all that advice I give some of you people, or all those silly passed on assignments that I help people with…is zilch compared to the satisfaction I felt today)
"I shall sing for you tomorrow" said  8 year old Mintu, who promptly answered all questions meant for her neighbours, solved everybody’s problems and showed maximum eagerness to help…
I only wish I was going tomorrow
