da Vinci Code
She was a 14-year-old juvenile fairy dreaming about her future. She had to decide between an array of careers and what would be her best one!
She was confused, wondering, and naive- all at one time. She asked, "Mum, I want to dance, sing, paint, read and play all my life... Why should I pick just one among them?"
- "Because you have to be a good person, a respected lady, and a successful woman dear," her mum said.
All these conjectures came tumbling over her one after the other!
She cleared her high school and changed her mind several times while pursuing higher education. She made decisions to ensure that she is not missing a single medley that the life bestowed upon her.
Her family broke all the ties because she never achieved what they expected. She kept on dabbling on a few rocks and never went to the bank to build a stable hut of her own.
She was just sailing merrily adventuring on different voyages. Her work fulfilled her heart but she was earning much below what society expected.
Time and again, her parents adulated the gossip of the people and accused her of being deranged.
She could not believe that in a world where she was reassuring herself of her decisions, another world tagged her as a failure.
