What is life? Nowadays I keep on pondering the answer to this question. Is it to earn money, get recognition, be counted as elite people in the city, exploring natural beauties and beasts in the deep jungle, be a tabloid star, an artist and much other things?

After all what life is all about? I am all confused when I think what I am doing at this age when Dhoni has already won the cap of captaincy for his country, Mark Zuckerberg has gained popularity, Bill Bates has a huge bank balance, Prabal Gurung is already getting fame and success, Shyam Kashyapati has started his new ventures, Chetan Bhandari has three outlets and is rolling in success.

But when I think of myself I cannot find myself even an inch closer to what they have achieved at a similar age. Is it that my life is all over, or the right age on which I could have done something extraordinary has gone? I am confused about what I am supposed to do.

When I think on the bright part, at this age I have a good job in a reputable organization leading four departments and making my career progressive.

I completed MBA from a good management institute. I have money in my pocket at the end of the month, I ride a bike of my choice and I dream to be a successful entrepreneur.

Is life not what we expect or is it because we are not pushing ourselves hard enough to get what we are expecting from life. These thin lines of difference play major roles, and we keep on circumventing around them.

Am I not able to challenge the norms of the society of studying and getting jobs or am I not able to focus on what I am really expecting from my life. Again I think of becoming a star like Amitabh Bachan and Salman Khan or a prime minister of a rich country. Many queries keep on coming and my curiosity about life never ends.

We always see the grass is greener on other parts and I think that might have happened to me because those persons whom I am thinking about by judging their achievements and status now might have a different story to share and only my perception will not be enough to define their achievements and successes.

They might be still striving for better. Life is really complex. What I want can never be gained but still I keep on thinking of a day which will bring me all success that I am seeking.

Getting mature is another tough job and yet we have to put a smile on our face and live with hope.
