26 on 26

I was planning to write this post for a long time. Last October 26, I completed 26 years of my existence on this planet. Almost a quarter of life is past behind if I believe a lot of astro specialist who have dug into my horoscope many times.

When I reflect back to the life that I have spent, I see a lot of memorable moments and lot of things that I have achieved. Twenty six years were well spent considering the amount of life lessons I have learnt. This has led me to be more mature than my age, having high moral values and more importantly cultivating the traits of a good human being.

I had always been fickle with hobbies. This has got me to learn vast number of skills and do activities like, skits, singing, script writing, public speaking, writing, reading, poetry, watching movies, listening to music, dancing, playing various sports like badminton, table tennis, lawn tennis, bowling, pool, squash, cricket, soccer, swimming and other activities like cooking, traveling, trekking, Para-gliding, water scooter, rappelling, mountain climbing, river rafting and biking.

Professionally, I have earned a good reputation in both technical and non-technical realm related to the service industry and I am also being counted as one of the top performers in my organization.

So far these 26 years has laid a good foundation for me, the only concern now is to build upon these and achieve more. So in the next ten years, following are the various milestones that I would like to achieve:-

Earn Money: This is one of the most important aspect which has started bothering me lately, more so because of the fact that I have to settle down and have a family. Till now I have been focusing on building a solid foundation and now that I believe I have done a pretty good job at it, its time to capitalize it.

Have Family: Because of the social pressure, (I hate relatives bothering my mother about me still being bachelor) and also considering the “social fact” that oldest one should get married first, its time for me to get married.

Build Reputation and Recognition in Industry: Being recognized and appreciated at workplace is not enough, it is important to make presence felt globally across industry.

MBA: A long “un-fetched” dream of pursuing an MBA from a world reputed institute needs to be realized.

Achieving any of the above tasks is not a puppet’s play; it requires lots of strenuous effort and strong will power. 

So wish me good luck.
