Beyond 1's and 0's

Manier times I have wondered myself being other than what I'm. Now that calls for an intriguing argument over what I've described myself in my blogger, orkut profiles (I am what I am). We'll keep it for another rainy day.
But then, what else I could have been, had I not been what I am today? It's often asked but seldom answered. Because, we as individuals tend to slip into our comfort-zones unknowingly. We start believing that, we are meant to be what we are. And thats when an introspection looms large over me. During both the job changes that I've had, the introspection had taken over. Now I'm at a similar phase but not quite the same yet. But I intend to curb my instincts(if any) hoping to have a fair run with my current job.
Well, I was off the topic yet again!! My what-I-could-have-been is a very short list in deed, But my what-I-couldn't-have-been is mighty long. Anything thats in my shorter list, is what I think I can do fair justice to. Sure, I'm yet to explore many more horizons to be having any list of those sorts.
With due respects to my limited dexterity, had I been a workman (be it plumber, carpenter, builder, etc) it would only be mess. My workshop days during my engineering know it better. Cook, Ummnn...perhaps yes, if only there were no dishes other than sandwitches and boiled eggs ;) To sum it, I'm a little too weak to take up anything that expects a little bit of dexterity.
Now, what-I-cud-have-been. Businessman - Yes, the acumen, alertness, interest-to-own something have always been there. Oops, I'm alreay running out of thoughts. May be a Teacher,doctor as well.
Now there is this, I-would-love-to-be list. A marathon runner, sportsman (preferebally, a footballer - they get best of the babes ;) ) TV-host, CEO of the most innovative company, a yogi, Stock market analyst, (Friends say, I'm quite there ;)) & the list goes on......... It apparenty has that-I-cant-be? No hang on, lateral careers have been the talk of the town off late. Who knows, I might just manage to be on-of-these in the future ahead.

Till then, I've a job on hand to be lived upto. Back to work.....
