It is quite cultural for us to ask young parents as to what they would like to see their child grow up to be...or their aspirations for their child...
I have been part of one of such discussions and I have heard answers from IITs to Standford....Leela palace to Udaipur palace weddings...Pleging to buy anything their child would lay hands to "No EMIs" life of kids....Roger Fererer to Aishwarya Rai...Mark Zukerburg to Chanda Kockar...
Heard it All...
But when I asked myself this question and introspected on these aspirations of parents, my throat choked with pressure for my little baby and myself...
...then I saw this video:
Anuradha Koirala being rewarded with as a CNN hero for her contributions towards rescuing women who have been victims to Human trafficking :

I told myself, how I wish I could impart this compassion to my child and asked myself would my little one need anything else at all but compassion and a will to share it with mankind for life...I am sure no answers are needed for this question, as it is THE ANSWER TO LIFE! A best lesson and legacy worth passing on responsibily by parents to their children...
..my throat choked, but this time with tears of joy...a sense of direction to parenthood!
Results sometimes is not in our hands but choice to right direction surely is!
