Sitting at the breakfast table, Arti narrated a dream she saw last night. She saw that she was getting late for her Hindi exam. That reminded me of something that we used to do as kids. And perhaps today's kids also do it.
At the beginning of every academic year, we would buy new text books. I would often read through the English and Hindi text books since they contained a lot stories. So while the class would be on chapter-1, I would have already read till chapter-5. So when the class would come to chapter-5, I would be sitting pretty comfortably (and with some pride too :)). But on many occasions, the chapters read in advance would simply not be taken up in the class. So on occasions I would end up sharing the stories with my friends. In either case, the pleasure was mine.
Doing things out of curiosity often helps. Especially for us to sense what's gonna come later. Do we ignore curiosities when we grow up? Is that why most often we aren't able to sense what's gonna happen next, whether in our career or business?
