The AHA moment
She worked with IBM for almost four years as an IT techie in the UK. Parallelly life kept on happening. She got married, had kids, was growing in her career too, but then came a moment that left her pondering on the purpose of her life. She narrates that at the funeral of her grandfather, who passed away at the age of 97, she was amazed to see the number of visitors from far and wide. The visits to pay homage lasted for a few days. There were people coming from far and wide ; some of them she never knew . She wondered about the contribution of her grandfather to other people’s life.
She was jolted from within and questioned her life purpose. She wondered if these many people would remember her as well? Wille she be remembered for good deeds? Is she doing enough to contribute to other people and making their life meaningful? Is she utilizing her knowledge for a bigger goal?
