The words "work & Job" were replaced by " Passion and Career", in what was a moment of disbelief.

After the previous call, the world just toppled for me, like an axis change of 180 degrees. The world was spinning faster than usual, with me at the centre. My friend asked " What happened?", and I was stuck for words. I was just smiling, finding the right words to put my expressions across. Later after a lot of effort, I was able get my language sense back and put it in words. 

I looked at my tainted phone. It did deliver the best news after all. I called my family and explained what just happened. They tried to underplay their emotions, but in vain. I was asked to write an article about the Indian team that was selected for the world cup. I smirked, smiled & laughed, at the ironic situation. That is what I had been doing even before the team list was announced. I had my take on every single player that was selected. It is from that moment that I felt, how it would be to build a career on your passion. The words "work & Job" seemed have disappeared from my dictionary, which were replaced by " Passion and Career",  in what was a moment of disbelief.

That article was later reviewed as a " Careless but daring" piece of writing, though it earned me an Interview call.  With loads of information, passion & wishes, I walked into the interview. It was pretty intimidating I must agree. The train travel from Goregaon to Grant Road (Both in Mumbai) which generally takes a couple of hours whizzed past. Though I wanted it to be a bit longer. I finally figured out the location and walked into the office. It was a nervous debut, I confess.
