What is Passion?

It was like one of the most frustrating Fridays… March already began in India n we were still living in the extra day of year! It was around 12 in night we were about to join rest of the world in March n discussion started about different things; we decided to shift the base. Anup, Karthik, Padmrag and I went to the Lake Washington!! Lake Washington is no doubt a beautiful place but its lot more than that as Anpya says “Ithe alo ki shant watat ekdum!” (whenever you come here you feel very relaxed)
Just to shift focus the from “Senti” discussions, Paddy started new topic: “What is passion?” and suddenly the mood changed; we started thinking philosophically (:D) trying to define passion in our own confused ways!
For someone, passion is like a never ending thing which keeps you driving all the way or to other passion is like internal drive or strong feeling to achieve something, to do something! We took many examples right from “Master Blaster” to “Paddy” (from “being to the top” to “coming first in a school exam”). At the end, we all had our own conclusions! No one was right or wrong, we just had taken admission to different schools of thoughts :)
My curiosity did not end there; after coming back I googled “What is Passion?” and to my surprise our discussion was lot less boring and still more meaningful than the links from various management/personal development Gurus!
Still it made me think … What is my Passion?
