My Deepest Desire
“Oh! What a wonderful name you have, my darling....”
This statement, made by my grandmother eons ago, never made sense to me. I
never understood what she meant by a wonderful name. My mother told me that my
name was very special. It meant desire. I had not taken it in then but now
lying on my death bed, I realized what it meant. My deepest desire at this
moment was to ‘Undo’ life. Just like Microsoft Word and Microsoft Paint has an
Undo button and all the mistakes are cleared, I wish life had an ‘Undo’ button
and I could erase all my mistakes and die with no regret.
In my life, I have made many mistakes. First and foremost, my
biggest mistake was that I was over-ambitious. I was born in a small town of
Gujarat and father had left me at a very young age only leaving a huge debt for
my mother. From a very young age, life had taught me that the world with money.
Without money, you are nothing. Due to this, my ambition was to become a huge
businesswoman but I made a mistake. My ambition and passion got combined. I
moved too fast. For my ambition, I dragged my best friend into this and lost
him. We both no longer talk to each other. That – was the FIRST mistake of my
life.
Life still went on. Due to my arrogant nature, I blamed him
for the split between us. The business that we opened together was in a state
of jeopardy. I, alone had to handle the entire business. I worked with a stride
in my step and took the business to greater heights. I got lots of money and
achieved great fame. I stood on the first step to success when my photo was
published on the front page of The Times of India. Then, fame just came like
Treat Candies at Halloween. I was among the top fifty business tycoons listed
in the TIME Magazine. Reporters from all over the world came to interview me.
It was too much for me to handle and I soon drifted away. I started treating my family members as
low-society, middle-class people and did not give them respect. Soon, I lost
them too and was left all alone. That- was the SECOND mistake of my life.
Now, as I reflect upon life, I realize that all my
mistakes were the same. Never, did I
care to wait and make errands. Now, I have everything but nothing. I am the
girl who opened the Pandora’s box and just like the Gods, I too am clinging onto
hope- Hope for FORGIVENESS.
Nice one. I remember reading this on the Panaroma. :D Keep the great work up!
