Choosing the road less travelled.

I am kind of inspired with strong decisions taken by two friends of mine. One is getting ready to leave the software industry and look for a job in his engineering discipline, Electronics. And also wanting to do his higher studies. To leave a job which credits your account with 20+k salary every month and move the way your heart and intutions takes you. Not many I think dare to do that. Mindful that no one will be there to hear you out if anything goes wrong. Somehow the proverb ' A bird in hand is worth two in the bush' doesn't hold good for people who are ready to take risks for the sake of their dreams. Who knows the ones in the bush might be the way to lasting happiness in life. 

Another of my classmate from college is thinking BIG. He is come up with an idea, 'One percent of your monthly income is all that needed'. To fight aginst social issues, to help underprivileged people and I think there is lots more in his mind. I would definitely write more about this in the coming posts. But what really took me by surprise was he had not lost heart. Coz I still remember that he came up with this idea during our third year in college itself. He still sticks on to it. Now some of our batchmates have joined hands and something tells me that this venture is not going to be in vain. Must be coz it's noble idea or must be coz it's a labor of love. 

Somehow these friends teach me contentment is all about 'Having your commitments in accord with your convictions'.Great!
