The Great Toronto escapade...

An Escapade, according to http://www.merriam-webster.com is a usually adventurous action that runs counter to approved or conventional conduct.

Thats exactly what my daddy thought when I mentioned the idea of going to study abroad, i.e., Toronto,Canada. MOM, on the other hand was quite frustrated with the idea of me going to her with new career options and plans every week in order to get them approved by dad eventually.

So yes, dad is the fulcrum of this family. Great man. The best daddy in the whole wide world. Except at that moment I was not thinking like this.

So I get up one fine day and decide I have to leave good old Pune and study in Toronto. I get in touch with Mansi Seksaria from Mumbai and we hit it off almost instantly. Marvellous. We travel to Toronto, endure each others idiosyncracies for 9 months (thats how long it takes to form babies too, so Ive heard), and then Mansi moves out to another state in Canada. Namely Saskatchewan. Now folks, Saskatchewan boasts of temperatures that sometimes cross the -50 degrees celcius mark (Sorry cannot calculate in Fahrenheit, yet). The thought scares me that I might have to brave that soon. But were not there yet and dont know where tomorrow shall take us. So lets breathe for a moment and then begin.

Yes, where were we? Yes, we were in Toronto, living it up. Not exactly, but somewhat, and now its decision-making time agaain.. I personally dont like when the time comes to decide, though when I do decide it almost always results in success.

Do I want to continue with the career I chose when I decided to come to Toronto? Do I want to continue on this HRM (Human Resources Management) path that I chose for myself? Is this what I really want to do? Everyone gives me different opinions and the best advice. Like I said in my first post 3 years back. I always get the best of everything :)

But thats all that that is..opinions and advice. What does my heart say? And is that in sync with what my head says? One year in Toronto has changed me alot. Ive learned alot. About myself, about the world, and made me realise theres so much more to experience and learn.

I want to act in movies :) I want to direct a movie someday :) I want the world to know my story :)

Is this all possible at all? They say anything is possible and you can be anything you want. Is it true, what they say? And who are the 'they'? Are they certified authorities too? Or do they HAVE to be to have said that?

PS : Im 23 going on 24 and not 21 anymore :)
