Quarter life crisis theory - tanha dil tanha safar

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself...

Yeah .....it does happen at this point of time. Life does swing that way and it is the same nervousness that wraps you a month before the board exams...u know u can make it to merit list but at the same time u know u have to go through 12 books to live upto it. ...i always felt that gosh!!only if i could finish off with few pages quickly would boost me up...at least make me comfortable .And reading first page especially when u know that there are 1499 pages still to be read makes u pretty nervous.

what exactly is this feeling is hard to describe but one thing to observe is that indeed it is a self realization exercise.Here many fears suddenly lift faces and many tracks seem difficult to travel.Resultant a confusion prevails ....many tracks get changed...we tend to take the common path and to reach for the goal looks like a road less travelled and obviously becomes a not so achievable option.

Though in twenties i think i am cut above this so called crisis.I have made no secret of the fact that i seek entrepreneuship .And similar to above crisis i am at a place where this looks quiet a distant dream (slogging for some project).So what makes me say that so confidantly is the fact that i have identified a cause behind my aim.

did i hear....overdose?

yeah indeed it is.....but i finally reached a conclusion that there is something that makes me say that quarter life crisis theory doesnt suit me.....for even at 24 ...working in a big shot company....i am still the same old guy ....with hundreds of armaans and desparately searching new avenues ....grabbing whatever oppotunities come my way....only that place has changed and so have timings i put in each activity....what if i havent met my family since long......does all this rob me of all my dreams and most importantly can it shake my will to excel? no....if i know why i want to do it.......the cause again.

i can hear some lines from shaan's song play somewhere
.......manzil nayi hai , anjaana hai karwaan....
chalna akele hai yahan.....
tanha dil ....tanha safar....dhoondhe tujhe... fir kyo nazar....?

ask urself for that kyo?
once u find it.....i quote:- i find it.....i will still walk....to make things happen ....
