The course of my life has been such that any passionate and deep longing and wish that I recognize, materializes with time. I am just lost with wanting to know what is that I can do now, to make the world a better place and also enjoy doing it.

For some background info: I am 29y and from an well-to-so middle class family. I had a daughter 2 years back. I am usually liked by most who know me. I bring energy, optimism and life with my presence.
