ha ha..been there done that :) is what came to my mind when i read your post. for a simple thing as participating in a competition, for reasons like self doubt, one lets go of the opportunity and then on seeing who won..we think, I could have done that!!! always happens :) all that said, I sure hope not to miss opportunities in the future..

In reply to Proactive Indian. True my friend! I guess it is always either a YES or a NO. There is no middle path atleast in this, most times I think a maybe is a softer word to say no and perhaps that is why it is used so often! :).. Rightly stated - Do it or Don't do it, not many people are interested in the reasons!

No point saying, “I could have …,” or “I would have …,” or “I should have …,” or “I had intended to …,” etc.

If you want to do something and can do it, do it. If you don’t want to do something, or if you want to but can’t do it, don’t do it.

In reply to Alok Vats.

It's really a beautiful story :). Sounds like a very lucky lady. That's so commendable Alok. I think the worst thing in Life is looking back and saying if only. Although we might have a few things to look back and say if only, it surely cannot be the big things for what we say that. It takes some mettle to do what you did and its definitely very impressive. Takes real gut to do that something we feel very strong for. 

That's a lovely starting point for your blog and I see it has grown wide and deep before that. My hi to your daughter :). Would really like to read the full version of the story if you have posted it up

In reply to arandomstateofmind.

True Maniparna, better than that is I think to just acknowledge that we didn't do something and move on from it. So much more healthier than lamenting about a few things..

It’s really that..only what we have done …count….and there’s no point strutting on the issue that I had the capacity and intention of doing a certain thing but still it had been left undone

Vinay, on a serious note, I just want to let you know about the story of my marriage, there was a time when exactly the same situation was in front of me, I wanted to marry my girlfriend, but I can’t, and then that time I was not that strong too. I was not suppose to take strong decisions, but ideally I thought about the same thing that why should I regret after a few years? What is the point in thinking about  ‘I could but I didn’t’ later?
And hence I decided to marry the lady love of my life, and traveled all along 1300 KM on a car, we covered that distance in 26 hours of almost non-stop journey and marry her. I don’t have any regret about it now, and will never do so.
Now we had a cute little angel too.
“Oooh I really wanted to do that, I had so much of capacities and I could have done it so easily but alas…. “ This is exactly what I don’t even want to hear from anyone known, and this is the main reason why I started my blog http://www.inewsindia.com too.
