Passion - or phased passion!

Born in the Indian sub continent, the first few words you probably are going to say ... will include something to do with food .. This was a passion which has been build over the years .. but off late has been a pull which is difficult to ignore ..

Stereotypes

 Grown up - U have to have a job ... Earn well .. save money .. Die leaving all for kids ..

No where in our society does passion appear .. wonder was it not taught or is it to be taught ... or how will it happen ... ???

Ever wondered .. suddenly when we make a statement .. look he/she is so passionate about the job  or when .. a JD reads .. should be passionate .. what does it really mean .. Is passion in the box or out of the box... Am i supposed to have a trigger in me .. which tells me to be passionate about something ..

As a guy who has lived around the country and has some variety of jobs .. I have been travelling across the country and in lands far far away ..

but passion has changed from music .. which is by far the most common to impress women i guess .. couldnt go all the way to learning a guitar to impress though .. but its something on the bucket list for sure .

Then Travel .. i guess second Fav.. of the world .. here too herd mentality .. it started with road trips .. then international trip .. funds all for few cool fb pics and some bit of using the word "nirvana "




then came photography .. of how can i have the best pics to put on social media .. my #life
so the expertise or lack of it helped in capturing the moving world .. and really enjoy some of its beauty in the still/ static world .. which was honestly the first bit of passion i would say in my life .. but then came movies like wake up sid .. after which every monkey in the world wanted a DSLR .. and licence to edit .. so the thing with herd mentality is that you follow it .. till its cool .. then its like oh everyone is on the same thing ..but managed some nice clicks in all this bargain ...








Then came the Harley life i want to be the cool biker .. i am the stud .. riding with lots of guys who had all the money ... but also had mid life crisis... neither did u fit the ship crazy .. the young rich kids ..or the old ...oops .. mid life crisis guys .. so what .. This is my passion . LIve to ride .. I am too coool ... I ride a harley .. I am a part of HOG .. lets join the upgrade race .. lets get one more .. one more .. till u r bankrupt in the bargain .. lets go to the biggest bike rally in the world ..sturgis .. of we are the coolest guys .. Its amazing how passion can cover insecurity or was it really passion .. The patches the cool facto the cool pics the biker life .. 10000 isnt cool 1000000 is more like it .. burning ur own money to support ur identity .. 
Was it really passion .. by now some of you are already like this guy is negative and pessimist .. but its not about what i feel . its about defining passion .. or is it still open ended ... 
if i was so negative . i wouldnt be still riding .. or playing a 6000km ride next month .. but that life then .... 










Now you must be wondering .. why did i start with food .. I guess thats the only constant in my life .. Yup away from stereo types .. #mencancook .. I love too cook .. host people .. out of th Eat Pray live .. I stick to Live Eat bit .. 
Also this is a culmination of all the passions so far in life .. 
its music to my ears when someone talks about food ...
I would travel to the corners of the world for good food ... 
I love to click food pics .. i think they make great pics 
Biking these days . are about destinations which are food .. breakfast rides . Long rides for dhaba food .. and yes .. leh ride for lots of good food to keep you going .. 
so WHATS MY PASSION .. is it food .. Or is it just first few things that I though about when i was born .. 






Currently the roll food is playing is in my future start up .. FoodgasmIndia .. wonder where it will take me .. but anything that has food ,, cant be wrong ..

SO have u figured ur passion .. or is it phased passion ... 
if you think Job is ur passion .. then u are great !!
