What is the height of your ambition?

The question the teachers asked our class was,”What is the height of your ambition?”- a pretentious way of framing the question. They were expecting answers like “To be a movie star” or “To pitch for Indian Cricket team,” but I shouted out “Six foot.” Everyone laughed.
I never quite achieved the height of my ambition., by the way, five-foot-nine is the highest I got.
I wanted to be myself.


After so many years I am glad I am.
