There is a certain undiscovered art of story telling. I was impressed. I think we have to take our time understanding the intricacies of life. And career is just a part of it. Your stairwell of career can very well be the stairwell of life, the stairwell of relationships. It has multiple connotations. Its really is up to the thought process and mindset of the reader to derive the meaning out of it. Nice one ! Very interesting and gripping post. There is a certain undiscovered art of story telling.

This is probably the very few personal posts that you write on your blog. Interesting unwinding of your inner self,

I don’t need it yet! @Bhise, it is good to see you agree to agree with me, but I don’t know what we are agreeing over here. For one, I have still not entered the treadmill that most people call a career. I am still laid back about what I will be doing six months down the line. And forget about what I will be doing five years later. Secondly, I think you have mis-interpreted the post as “Rohit getting career focussed” or something similar with connotations of a long period of hard labor in the near future. Oh well, my bad. This post was a bit romantic (as in <i>imbued with or dominated by idealism</i>). The stairwell imagery came from a rather vivid dream. I molded it with some thoughts inspired by one of the anime I keep watching; and some personal feelings as well, hence the tag. The entire dialog was meant to convey the idea of a person deciding to become what he <i>truly</i> wants to be, not what his family, peers, test scores and life tell him to be. The reason I'm smug is (remember saying <i>Papa, mujhe engineer banana hai</i>?) is right now, I'm <em>really</em> living my dream. I'm on track to become what I want to be; unlike some people I know who are still trying to identify <em>what they want to be</em>. note: sections of this response have been updated

Life sure has become like that. But yeah, one thing for sure...the stairwell is a question of choice, for instance you are not in a stairwell, because you actually have opted to stay out of it, or that was what I was thinking. But now i understand that you yourself are imposing the stairwell on your life. No need dude, just dont think of it. There are many places you would like to be...except stairwell...It may just be someone's choice, someone who cant prepare his own way to a desired position and has to use the already built one..The Stairwell. dude,
