Alice in Wander-land !!

Alice is eighteen years old.
Alice has just completed her higher secondary education and awaits to start a career.

One day, while she is quietly resting under a tree in her garden, she notices a white rabbit clothed in crisp attire with a pocket watch hung to its side. Busy as the rabbit looks, Alice's curiosity leads her following the rabbit down the hole. She expects to find answers to her problems and assumes the rabbit hole will lead her into a bright future. The rabbit meticulously guides Alice into an admission in a reputed college and hence ends his role..it hurries off.. Once inside Alice looks around, strange new world, with newer still the expectations and hopes. As she just begins to explore the place, she experiences a deep deep fall.. A tunnel that seemed endless and into a pit, leads her into a hall.. Around looks Alice, doors and doors lined and lined.

Aah the doors of opportunity, thinks the girl to herself. !!
She finds a small key.. that wouldn't open the first door.. Efforts still needed exclaims she to herself..
She finds a Bottle of knowledge..that says.. "DRINK ME".. She absorbs all the contents.. and shrinks small enough to squeeze through the first door..

Still more doors.. Alice confronts.. A second door here... She finds a cake beside that says.. "EAT ME".. Devours the cake soon Alice.. and grows so large, her head hits the ceiling..
Alice is too large.. she needs to get past some door, but she is too large to... She is in search of a larger door.. a larger opportunity.. nothing less would suit her purpose..

Alice wanders about.. strange new creatures...and wild are her thoughts..
As Alice walks around.. she comes across a Tea-party... Invited as soon as she is, joins the partying souls.. Yet remains a gap.. a void which Alice cannot comprehend..
She has chosen her life.. her life inside the tunnel...
She has no choice.. but to work, wander about and party...

Years hence, Alice thinks to herself...of the garden and the burrow hole.. and tells herself..

"A hole lead into the tunnel..
I took the one the rabbit traversed
and that has made all the difference.." !!
