(A revelation of the
fundamentals of life and living during my tryst with surgery and
hospitalization)
Ambitions of life normally pivot around achieving success in
academics and career, becoming rich and famous, travelling, writing, attaining
spiritual bliss and other such stuff. These are the “big rocks” of life, which
when successfully addressed, give one a sense of expansion and growth. Ambitions
vary from person to person, and are based on ones values and outlook towards
life. I too have my share of such worldly ambitions, and I have been extra
passionate about them until recently when I had to undergo a surgery. The view of the world was quite different from the operation
table and the hospital bed. They brought me back to the basics, and obliged me
to recalibrate my world vision, in juxtaposition to the lofty dreams spun in
the comfort of home, and within the board rooms of corporate world.
