Eww! I was so greedy!

Yesterday someone asked me, “Don’t you think you should have stuck to doing just ONE thing in life?”

I said, “Oh Yes!! Yes! I tell that to myself every day!!” In fact, I should have stopped at my Kathak dance at 25 when I was already an established dancer, and having won the State Gold medal, I had already got one film offer. I could have gone into that glamorous career.

“Ewww!” I had reacted to the film offer, which I got while I was aspiring to become a journalist and went to interview an acclaimed film director. “How dare they offer me a heroine’s role?! I want to be a journalist!”

I feel like slapping myself today! [image error]

But, the reality is, I was too greedy. I wanted it all. It’s just ONE life, I have to explore all: Writing, dancing, painting, reporting, sting operations, being a journalist… news desk fascinated me, being at the edge of the news AND motherhood. The word FOMO hadn’t been invented then, but yes, I was ridden with FOMO! I have to do it all.

I can’t live life again. But, trust me, if I had to do it all over again, I would do it all over again.

So, that is why, I have held myself by the ear today and paused to breathe. And to listen to your story. Having Been There, Done That, I can try to be there at your vital juncture, when you take that decision in life.
