Epiphany

- a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.


I dont want to go down the miserable blogging route, so I dont want to ramble too much on this. I came across this word today, and incidentally over the past week I feel that I am converging to the solution to the problem 'What after your masters?'. Kabu is considering a PhD, and that has got me thinking. Not to do a PhD, but about what I want to do after I finish my masters. Unlike Kabu, I dont have any hots for the academics and I fancy industry more. But the more important question is whether I want to head back home or not. I have realized that I dont want to be in a place where going to a cinema hall, eating out or driving a car is a luxury. I dont want to talk about life's little pleasures in the past or future tense. And I havent even started talking abt the people I love back there. But I dont know if friends would still be around. The scene is completely different now. But family would be so much happier with me around. And Im not gonna be sitting on a goldmine here either. I have had so much fun during my 3 years in Bangalore, that the place is drawing me towards it. I think I will find joy there, no matter what. Which means I have lesser time to see Europe. More frequent trips. Sounds exciting.
