But as time progressed,I realised that art needs pure dedication and hardwork and above all sacrifice to be at the top!! Its very easy to think of your passion than working with it and carrying it all along with you. I have read about many artists and most of the rare gems who had excelled in art have sacrificed tremendously and have developed a sort of divine bliss out of their love for art. To make that kind of a decision, you need sheer courage and mental stability. To be honest i lack it at this point of time and as you said only an inspirational flash would break this dilemma into two concrete parts!!! Hope for the best and good luck! At the same time, i too wish to quit infy somehow!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28120448/115995531647186734/comments/default/116325699341369190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28120448/115995531647186734/comments/default/116325699341369190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blimeyslimey.blogspot.com/2006/10/is-this-my-quarterlife-crisis.html?showComment=1163256960000#c116325699341369190' title=''/><author><name>Gowtham</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blimeyslimey.blogspot.com/2006/10/is-this-my-quarterlife-crisis.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28120448.post-115995531647186734' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28120448/posts/default/115995531647186734' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28120448.post-116316354963782137</id><published>2006-11-10T04:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-10T04:59:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CRISIS would be an exaggeration for this...this is...</title><content type='html'>CRISIS would be an exaggeration for this...this is something which all of us go thru in one way or other...its plain disatisfaction with wht u have or in more subtle terms.."not as happy" if ur circumstances would hv been "something else"...neways nice post&lt;BR/&gt;Peace nd Wishes.&lt;BR/&gt;Akshay</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28120448/115995531647186734/comments/default/116316354963782137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28120448/115995531647186734/comments/default/116316354963782137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blimeyslimey.blogspot.com/2006/10/is-this-my-quarterlife-crisis.html?showComment=1163163540000#c116316354963782137' title=''/><author><name>akshay</name><uri>http://mazzda.blogpsot.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blimeyslimey.blogspot.com/2006/10/is-this-my-quarterlife-crisis.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28120448.post-115995531647186734' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28120448/posts/default/115995531647186734' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28120448.post-116279174290443854</id><published>2006-11-05T21:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-05T21:42:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>You're blogging!
