Life is so much about choices.
The more I think about it, the more obvious it seems. We are so constantly making choices. I remember being told in college about a prisoner who we might think has no choice but then if you think deeper the choices are there. And that is a reality, his reality. He could commit suicide, try to escape or continue in the same state of imprisonment. We always have choices whether we like it or not.
I look around at friends, family and role models for the choices and risks which they have taken or did not take.
At times when I get fed up with my Gurgaon- Delhi commute, I think to myself that it's clearly a choice which I have made. And trust me such thoughts are recurrent during the 3 hours of being stuck on the water logged roads after the showers. I had made a similar choice in Abu Dhabi when I decided to commute to Dubai every single day for work. I think I have a problem there. I am not happy with the easier choice, I like the tougher choice, the braver choice. And I also admire people who choose to challenge their limits and not just sit back in their cushy cocoons. Of course the commute might be a rather small struggle compared to the much braver and tougher choices which many people are making every single day.
