Life, for me, has indeed been really unpredictable...Never in my wildest of dreams did i think i'd be where i am today! Today i am an economics(hons) student of Shri Ram College of Commerce(SRCC) ..one of the elite colleges of the Delhi University. Sounds impressive? Well..supposedly what i have today is what hundreds of students would desire for themselves. The irony is ....i don't want it... i never wanted it! As far as i can remember i always wanted to pursue fashion design..and there was no one stopping me from doing that. You must be wondering why then didn't i take it up? I myself wonder why? How did i get myself into this situation? I had actually even got through National Institude of Fashion Technology(NIFT)....... That would have most probably brought up a whole other set of questions in your mind...and they have their answers...but that's another story. Bottom line- i am where i am i.e. SRCC, when i had been so sure not so long ago that i'd be somewhere else (read NIFT); and i can't change that fact! Am i sad? Might seem funny, but i am not sad inspite of being in a situation where i never desired to be in. I guess its just God telling me, "Have patience..i have other great plans for you...one that you did not plan for yourself!" And at this point if you ask me what i'd be doing next, i am not sure i want to answer that! Life is just too unpredictable to make long term plans and just sit on it believing that the plans would come about!

My life's been one roller-coaster ride too (that it seemed to be going downhill all the time until recently,is fodder for another discussion) :p
I think it started when at the ripe ol' age of 16 i assumed that i knew all there was to know.(how was i supposed to know that money didn't grow on trees..(sigh)..)
On a more serious note, life indeed is unpredictable but I'd rather have that than be one of those people whose lives are all planned out to the minutest detail and lived out accordingly (read boring) :D. I need the various twists and turns that this life brings.
We need to plan too if we don't want our life to be one huge chaotic mess. So, as in practically everything, i think the key lies in striking the right balance between the two. Having said that,i'am all too aware that it's easier said than done.
and hey! am sure He has grand plans for you like u said.
Until He chooses to reveal it to you, we can busy ourselves in making the most of what we have right now.
P.S : what are you doing next? (grins and ducks for cover)

Well that sounds impressive!! I'd not mention the colleges I was in but I was a student of Commerce, Political Science, Physics ( LOL)etc, etc.. in Delhi University. I thought I would become an Accountant, but life has never been the same ever since i reached Delhi. Like you said, No one stopped me, but myself. Things have changed and life have always been unpredictable. You always feel you could have done it!@!! Its very sudden and highly unexpected.
