I can't believe how naturally I shift from one position to the very opposite of it - so smooth a transition that I often forget it ever happened. I've always been like this I guess. The present situation being that since a few days I've begun to feel like I want to be a student for some more time. There is just so much to learn, and I like being a student - having the structure of a school, and just the less stressed life of a student - though I can't really imagine living through any more stress than I already do - I don't think that's true though - I could survive a lot more than this - anyway, the point being that just a few weeks back in India, where I was surrounded by my employed friends, I felt like finishing my studies and working right away. Like waiting even one more year will be too long. And now I want to spend two years on my thesis. Life is short, I know, but why are we in a hurry? I want to do a lot, but also take my own sweet time. My perspective on a lot of important things is changing gradually - and I'm enjoying it - everything seems to be headed in a direction where eventually all of it will fall into place. Exciting!
