Sure, you turned out pretty good, but is there anything you wish had been different about your childhood? If you have kids, is there anything you wish were different for them?

I had an awesome childhood for the most part but I wish I could have had things turn out differently. Is that being selfish and ungrateful? Some may think so but the desire to better oneself is intensely a human aspect. I wish I had taken up martial arts and finish trainings on them so I could be fit and better equipped to defend myself or others in a crazy situation.

I wish I had exercised more as a young kid so that I had a healthier life growing up. I wish I take continued with my guitar lessons instead of quitting because I had a lousy teacher. I wish I had taken my license when I had my motorbike and stuck with driving lessons. I wish I instilled upon me the need to study hard at a time when I should have studied hard and that by doing so I could get a job in a country of my choice and I could go live the life that I wanted for myself.

I wish for many many things. I wish we could have moved abroad – not that India or where I live in India is bad but that’s not where I want to live. I wish I could achieve a whole lot more and make everyone proud of me. I haven’t done that yet.
