The Butterfly Effect

What if I had the power to change one incident in my life, what would it be and would that be significant enough in the scheme of things. To begin with I don’t take the thought seriously and believe that no one incident can be that significant that it could alter the way my life spanned out, but on second thoughts maybe it does.

To begin with what if my father didn’t live in a small town of Uttar Pradesh but in a bigger place where better schooling options were available. I wouldn’t have gone to a boarding school in Dehra Dun and spent the best 12 years of my life. Even if he did and I did go to Welham, what if a number of small things that happened didn’t happen, would that change anything in my life. I don’t know. What if I cleared CAT in the first go, etc. etc. The list can go on and on.

However, the fact is that those things did happen and I’m the way I was meant and supposed to be, sitting here writing this stupid piece and I don’t regret anything one bit. But I would like to leave you with this thought:
