A satisfaction in working there that u will never have otherwise. So where are u studying now? @ Sreyashi: Oh ya…tell me about rural stints. i did a 6 month one my first semester of masters. it was hell initially but i missed it so much when it was over. it’s got a beauty of its own.

And you're going to become a doctor...trust me you couldn't be in a better position to make a significant difference, if you want to, that is. So have you done your one year rural stint yet? i have heard people complain and bitch about it. What they don't realise is that tht rural stint saves the lives of people who grow the food for us. What the hell are we supposed to eat if we don't save their lives? Not software or microchips for sure! @ Sreyashi: I like the expression “conscious living”…yes I think that really is the key to making a difference to this workd.

anyway, i agree with u that it is never to late to start making our lives purposeful and that can be done if we adopt a ‘conscious living’ strategy…be aware of what we do every moment..and not amble through life aimlessly…

As for using the opportunities presented to us... the point is, Nipon, even if we used all our opportunities, so what? My question is, what the hell was the use of it all?

It's true that most of the times we are taking from the society and not giving in return. But think again, mere good grades and being a good child to your parents is also something... One, utilising the opportunities presented to us and not wasting them. Two, being a good example before others. Honestly, I also find it a little disturbing... yet I have also felt this many times. But then, you are thinking too much.. Trina aunty.... :D :P I am caught in between agreeing and disagreeing. It’s true that most of the times we are taking from the society and not giving in return.

On a more serious note, I completely agree. I've felt this time and again. If I hadn't been born, it prolly wouldn't have made the tiniest bit of difference to anyone. No words of condolence here. Sucks, truly. This is what you’ve been doing in Cal??
