in college I did a bunch of crazy things
so I don’t know which of those I
quite odd to get onto this platform
they went for a movie and it was
atrocious who absolutely hated it
how long before you decide to just get
up and walk out see the movie like
brahmotsava
then we get into tasks and set up some
time passes and we realize this is not
what we want or this is not what we
thought it would be right or you simply
changed your mind but at the cost of
being miserable or unhappy we continue
keep going keep doing it because we tell
ourselves it started so we might as well
finish it or to come this far or what
will others think we’ll think that I
keep changing my mind I don’t have
strength to find a sign of weakness so
we just keep doing it I think my life is
a case study because I ask that as at my
disposal when I was in 10th 3 he asked
to the question what next was like his
biggest thing in my life and the drama
queen Delacroix’s I used to remember
that poem by Robert Frost the road not
really and I will be until now if I take
this and then ten years later I start
leaking out like I didn’t take the other
Road what would happen to me so that was
like the biggest problem – and then
people around
everybody has that loose ends together
so they said look here on you study well
so because I want I keep and then I’m
human I teach four years later from this
very college never placements and I got
three offers and again I had to make
another decision because with job I
choose will determine the next of the
good job gives more growth than a big
chocolate the position is better so that
was nothing
I mean him there was need annoyed
working for two years all the consequent
from my house till then to all my
relatives with a kind of make your
cousin’s really age they would be like
teeth you know she’s got a cat see she’s
gotta talk like how it was and I was
there 21 years for financial
independence you see a good future
whatever all that all that jazz
and then suddenly I had this epiphany
that I didn’t want to do the same then I
wanted to dance you see I was training
in initially it was like like a hobby
was going on inside but slowly it
evolved into intense love affair and I
wanted to freely get absorbed in it to
learn more practice effective and
perform it and as a result I realized I
needed to spend a lot more time trying
to nurture that art form and walking in
a field and
so that was it moment of death now I
want to pitch I want to dance my parents
started freaking out but he was too much
John’s like where as not gonna get you
you’re going to be a dancer and then
what and he worked so hard for this he
worked so many years for this any wanna
throw this away they said it was right I
did work very hard about eight years and
I was in a good place and I’m throwing
it away
yes that’s true but then I’ve started
backtracking
I started thinking did I but they even
mind and I was just 14 when I have to
choose the biggest decision but the gets
a fork in the road that kind of leads
you away and away from the other side
you keep going further and further away
how on earth like everyone the age of 14
what it is that I want on their side
wondering that the age bracket would be
14 to 25 or even 30 these are such
formative years and you’re so
impressionable at this age a simple
thing like a heart rate or peer pressure
or just because you don’t want to be
like your elder brother or sister all
you want to be exactly like them these
are the things has determind what you
want to do
it’s very rare that people know what we
want so anyway like anything else in
life I started taking up there was a lot
of practice to be done a lot of studying
lot of research and it’s an expensive
hobby to of you so on the side I was
guarding all the three three lamps
part-time jobs that I could I did the
movie Louie I did the content writing I
did graphic design he had an event
management I did like so many of those
things from the side but in the process
I picked up a lot of skills and they
really helped me with my dancing and
even though it was such a challenge to
take it up and and I didn’t even know if
there is some success making to me I
didn’t even know if I’m going to make it
but it didn’t matter it’s kind of
contentment where I felt doing dance
make it make sense so we are just so
I started one thing how can anybody make
decisions and stick to them for the rest
you see twenty-six-year-old me just look
back at the 14 year money and it was a
warning how we’ve all been functioning
them and even now I tell myself that I’m
changing I’m changing what if tomorrow I
just decide that I don’t want to think
of something else
even then I thought that’s fine you know
because where’s the question of having a
solid mind when you’re going through so
needs I water here for coffee give me
and then I join aiesec in the meantime
and then I got an opportunity to work
with an international company a
multinational company like the Reuter
and all those skills really helped me
become words words and really mean made
me understand – so if that was a mistake
tonight it was a great leap and I don’t
say that my movie ends here like this
it’s possible that I’m going to make the
next step of my life very soon so all I
want to tell you guys is that we yeah
we’re energetic ever stupid so if you
want to try something
don’t ever let anybody tell you that
it’s cool just try it because it’s oh
he’s able to see it’s okay if you’re
going to make me sleep and it’s not only
okay
I’ve been so much so in this which is a
purely expressionist now here I’m not
sure how many of you would say to it
annamacharya annamacharya is
conversation with his baby boy lord
krishna and he says all i have to do is
meditate upon your name and feel
absolutely you are the one who has
stolen butter and the entire universe
all lords and bow down to you you are
the one who resides in the 70s far
enough Alicia you were the one
