Lakshya-that's the word.

Lakshya-Goal
Words that mean a lot in one's life and have often been the topic of discussion in many of my posts.
But why do I write so much about it? Is it because my exposure to the world and education has given me the foresight and understanding of it? I would like to question this reason.
A downtrodden farmer sick of the injustice and tyranny of the village landlords also sets up a goal- to kill them, this lakshya* of his shapes his career to become a rebel (Robin-Hood kinds). Now that didn't need education from books but surely learnings from life.
For a 10yr old Saikarun, the lakshya was to stand first in the class every year ...(joking, I was happy being in the top ten list, that alone saved me my honor) But it was surely important for this 10yr old to master his dance act on stage all those years until he was 17. And believe me that goal was surely very rewarding and gave him a lot of satisfaction with Life.
I remember another person whose goal in life was to make his family laugh.
Interesting isn't it?
These are people who work to live and not live to work. And that my friend is the mantra for you to be happy and satisfied with (not in) your life.

So who's joining me for my next Lakshya/Goal to master photography skills...?

Keep d faith...
Karun.
