She was suggesting to me to do some things, to which I replied, “I am thinking, I am not sure”. She replied, “Tum Padhe Likhe Log Sochte Bahut Ho (you intellectuals think a lot)”. At that time I brushed off that statement, thinking (yes again thinking) that one has to think before making a decision, isn’t it?
Saying that I think, would be an understatement. Before making any crucial decision of my life, be it relocating for a job, studying a course or any other personal decision, I think a lot. At times I even try to plan or foresee how will it go, for e.g. if I have to relocate, I would think where I would stay, with whom I would stay, how will I cook, where will I get Indian grocery from, when I would relocate back to India, etc. I go into a lot of details. I remember before relocating to Hong Kong, I would have spoken to umpteen number of people trying to decide if I should accept the job offer. By talking to them, I wanted to decide if it would be the right decision for me, would it make me happy, would it involve the least number of challenges and many such parameters.

How hunger and thirst run our lives
कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
