I am Priyanka. I am 22 years old. I live in Delhi.

I always used to dream about my future. I had thought about everything I want to do and how I will.

It was like, I have planned my future.

According to my plan, I will work in a company, get a house, get a car and get settled.

But the only thing that can't be planned, is our future.

So, My life didn't go according to my plan.

My family was suffering from a financial crisis.

I gave interviews in different companies but I wasn't selected.

My whole life, whenever I needed a mentor; My elder sister was there with me.

She said, Maybe that's not what you want.

I yelled, I need a job !!!

She said, Okay. I will ask my friends if there are vacancies in their company. But remember you asked me to.

I said, Yes. I will finally have a job, a house and a car. I will get a chance to get settled too.

I got a job and soon I got a house and a car too.

But something happened that changed my life that night.

It was raining heavily.

I was just about to drive my way back home. And my sister called and said that dad is not feeling well and they are taking him to hospital.

Midway to the hospital, The car stopped due to some technical issue. I didn't know what to do.

It was raining so heavily that no one was passing by me. I asked for a lift but no one came out of the car and helped me or helped me reach the hospital.

I sat on the road and started crying and I continued crying.

A man came out of his car and helped me. He drove me to the hospital after I told him
everything.

I did lose my father that night but found a great friend.

I some how managed mom and sister.

His name was Saurav.

1 year passed.

My mother passed away due to cancer.

But saurav managed to make me feel better this time too.

Months passed.

I got promotions and promotions.

I got a bigger house, a expensive car.

I hosted many parties in my new house.

On the new year night, Saurav proposed me in front of all our friends and family.

I was so happy. We got married 3 months later.

I was fed up of my job. I go to the office at 9 and return at night. but I didn't wanted to leave my job, because all the effort I put on for that promotions, that house and the car that I have.

My sister did warn me earlier.

And now I regret not listening to her.

I went to her again, as she was still my mentor.

She said, You can still fix it.

I said, But how ?

She said, Do what you love and always wanted to do. We think we can only get settled by getting a job, a house and then a car. You can get settled by doing what you love.

I said, You atleast know painting, so you are able to make these paintings and sell them.

She said, I didn't become an artist to earn money, I became an artist to be able to do what I want to, I love painting and I chose it as a career and maybe I don't earn a lot but atleast I am happy.

I said, I only know cooking.

And sis got a idea, we started a restaurant and managed it together.

I didn't really need that job.

At last, I just want to say that do what you love and makes you happy.
