And we should never force our choices on our children.

I am so glad that you found your writing platform at the right, or is it the 'write' time!

Absolutely the same reaction would have happened here in Sri Lanka. And even I in Germany earned some "you are crazy" looks when I didn't study medicine or law after graduating with flying colours.Devika Fernandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156904478720511614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094662330941942080.post-84107840298539434132015-04-15T09:51:41.580+05:302015-04-15T09:51:41.580+05:30Hehehe...

I did an MA in English literature after working for 10 years as an engineer. :p<br />Kudos to you Deepti for being so clear about your dreams from such an young age.Preethi Venugopalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187379434511139078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094662330941942080.post-49183326486964263132015-04-15T05:58:20.198+05:302015-04-15T05:58:20.198+05:30I sometimes wonder how different people have diffe...I sometimes wonder how different people have different skills altogether, and to curb anybody's dream is a sin. I myself have been a student of Arts after leaving sciences in two months but was not so inclined towards literature as to political science. Till now, when I am watching all the political discussions on TV or reading news about politics, my husband being an engineer wonders how I can enjoy the dirty politics of today, but I think it just comes naturally. I can't agree more to the fact that we should support our children in whatever career they want to pursue. Deepti, yes I would concur with Sundari Venkatraman's comment that you are living your dreams and that's so wonderful!Savitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449736031714618640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094662330941942080.post-80548792243405565502015-04-14T23:28:53.441+05:302015-04-14T23:28:53.441+05:30Superb!

I never thought of literature as it was not in 'vogue' those days. It was commerce that was. I ended up doing B.Com. But writing was predestined for me it looks like. I happened to wangle a job with Mumbai Mirror and later with Web 18 (web arm of CNBC Group) and writing became my world. Writing a novel just happened out of the blue 15 years ago and I never looked back :D<br />When my kids took up arts (my elder one is a consultant for CSR and the younger one is a musician-guitarist) friends and neighbours thought my husband and I were crazy. Today, they wonder why they never thought of it ;)Sundari Venkatramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380034791641561374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094662330941942080.post-68050042821215326072015-04-14T20:29:15.321+05:302015-04-14T20:29:15.321+05:30Literature is bliss.
