This Gandhi Jayanti I am gonna fly! We at Komli are going to Goa
for our annual offsite. We will travel to n fro by air, and it's my
first time :) I am so very excited about it. My fantasies about air
travel are about being able to spot clouds, passing by them, observe how
miniature would buildings look. I might be in for surprises here, or
maybe all this has no chance of happening. But I don't mind, it doesn't
dent my excitement a wee bit.
I remember being similarly excited about the best phone I ever had. Sony Ericsson K
750i was simply superb and it was worth 16 grand back when I bought
it. I recollect the research I went through to decide which phone to
buy. On day one, I went through it's product guide to figure out every
available feature. And now, when I had to buy a new phone it wasn't the
same kind of excitement. Yes, the research still did happen but it just
helped in narrowing down the decision.
The same thing happened when I bought my first car, left for a
road trip to my native place in my car, first trekking experience, first
Goa trip, and so many such 'first' things. How many of these am I still
excited about?
Well, I don't have a count for that! There are a few things which I
feel excited about doing again and again. And these things become
hobbies or interest activities. But there are high chances that these
hobbies, while doing these for the first time ever I had been super
excited. If I had shown the same level of excitement while trying
anything new I would have had much more' hobbies'.
Excitement is good, really good. It's like a power booster, adds
up to your desire for doing anything. But don't get bogged down when
someone says that you need not be so exited, it ain't that cool.
Probably they weren't much excited while doing it their first time. You
are your best judge. Be super excited, experience it and then decide if
it's worth being excited next time around. My Goa trip certainly is :)
