Career Counselling From Strangers

So as usual, I go to a party and Surprisingly I find a lot of Elderly people there. Normally I thought it as a chance to boast about my Convincing Skills by participating in various discussions. But now recently I have started getting scared of the Grey Haired Men and Ponytail Aunties.

Although I have crossed the Rebellious Puberty phase of my life, But I guess this is one of another dangerous situation for me when people start asking me: "What am I doing these days. Usually I am quite well prepared for such questions as I keep on doing random stuff everyday. Although  I prefer deviating the topic to some Current Affair or some Technology stuff whereby I am sure of knowing much more than the Salt Pepper Man in front of me.

What really shifts my equilibrium is the subsequent question: "Beta Kya Socha hai Life Mein"

and my entire routine of intellectual bullshit accompanied by some Flattery goes off the track and completely freaks me out.

Hence I really sat down, not for the purpose of knowing, What do I want to do with my life ? But simply for the purpose of finding an answer to such a Publicly Customary question. May be giving myself the thought that, I'll do something at least wasn't enough this time. If this was the case I would have to scan the place where I go every time to avoid such situations.

I really started thinking that why do Elders ask me these kind of questions at all...Why am I being made the Centre of the Universe. What fault did I commit in my childhood, that I had to face such a harsh situation ?

Then I just got my answer and I realised that this was absolutely my fault that a stranger comes to me and talks about what I wanted to become.

In childhood when anyone asked me "Beta what is your name?"

My, Rather Our Entire Generations Answer used to be: "My name is this_, I study in Class this_, In this_ public school, My class teachers name is this_ and My Roll number is this_.

People were Impressed by the Fluency of speech along with the Confidence accompanied by the innocence we possessed once. Thats where I got my answer, we spoiled our elders by giving them Information they never wanted to know and now they just want to know: What do you want to do with your Life, thats not too much to ask...is it ?

But on writing so much and going behind several aspects has made me really wonder, What am I going to do ????
