Its after a long time that I am updating this blog. Life has been busy for the last few weeks...besides I did not have too much to share...But as I write today I have my last theory paper tomorrow. Tomorrow on I would only have one more day to go NSIT to appear for final year viva and all....A lot of things looked settled.
After I didnot get good enought rank for anything over civil I had to drop an year and study with determination to get admission in this college. Last 4 years have been pure fun. Absolutely no stidies and living life as it came....
Placements started and I got through FSS which was like a dream come true. I wanted to work there because of all the fun stuff I had heard about that place. The fairy tale life continued. I thought I would have a great time in Gurgaon...
But I guess that was not to be. I got Chennai office and that was shocking because I was probably one of the few people in my college who was counting on just one job. Besides a very small percentage of people actually asked to go there and I was one of the very few ones. All people in my college also got Gurgaon only with my exception.
I was so damn disappointed when I saw the mail. My parents were like "wahan bhi log hi rehte hain...its ok". When I told my sister this she said maybe its an opportunity for you to assess what you want to do in life.
And I was thinking what made me take decision that I did in the past. Why I took non-medical was because I didnot want to study biology and in my mind there were only 2 things...med or non-med. Then got into engineering because everyone was getting into engineering. Wanted to take electronics because it was the hot field. Ended up doing IT because I could not get electronics at my rank. Started preparing for MBA because MBA's command good money. It was probably at this point I realised I was not choosing stuff but taking the default route.
Discussing this with my sister she told me I have a great opportunity in my life to sit down and choose where you want to go. If I would have been assigned Gurgaon I would have simply gone ahead with it not thinking where it is ultimately leading me to! My job is in software but to my mind I know I would be better with people than with machines. There is more to life than sitting in front of a PC from morning to evening....
And now I am at one of the major crossroads in my life. One option is to go to Chennai and try and come back to Delhi....and the other is look out for another job in Delhi possibly changing my field too. I am not too keen on joining in Chennai because
1. I dont like that place.
2. I dont want to go that far from home at this point of time.
3. Chennai office is FutureSoft and was not HSS. I am not even sure what work they do there!
So I guess I will have to hunt for another job. One thing is for sure that I will have to keep the faith. I know there must be something better in store for me!!
