My son is an avid footballer. He is very passionate about the sport. At the same time, he also worries about his future as to what he would be! I keep on telling him not to worry so much, just try to balance things to the best of his ability.

When I was a teenager, I was passionate about singing; my husband in his school days was an avid sportsperson. But over the years with responsibilities of career and family those passions have taken a backseat. I simply wonder the things that we are passionate about in our growing-up years are somehow lost in the daily grind of life. Now when I see my son’s passion about football, I feel it shouldn’t get diluted in the grind of life 20 years from now. I am sure everyone is not fortunate enough to pursue their passion; those who could do this are really fortunate.

Wish life was as we wanted it to be…
