Remember the times when video games used to rule our world? All we knew were the SUPER MARIO, PRINCE of PERSIA and ROADRASH! i was an addict too! :D aww...I sure do miss those days!!
Anwayz,
Im sure that each and every single person reading this post can relate it to themselves for the JOURNEY RE-STARTS HERE ;)
10th board exams, intermediate board exams, IIT, AIEEE, EAMCET, Semester exams and so on..! We have been slogging all our lives to get through des UNQUALIFIED QUALIFYING EXAMS! Note the word UNQUALIFIED here! I feel no connection between the subjects that we study, exams that we write and the criteria based on which we are judged upon!
Now, another Set of exams have been added to this clan! No prizes for guessing guys...they are the PLACEMENT Exams!! ha ha !! If you deeply look at the way few of the companies hire the hapless students, you would definitely feel like asking yourself a question-WHAT THE HECK MAN? Was I working so hard to do a job like this-a job with no scope for creativity, no space for novel ideas from young minds and of course no SALARY HIKES(at least not for about 1-2 years buddy)!
By the time most of the students finish their final year, they become desperate for money, they thrive hard to earn, this exponentially increasing thirst for becoming INDEPENDENT and STANDING ON YOUR OWN FEET is the outcome of various impacts- the biggest one being PARENT and PEER PRESSURE!! I guess the so-called engineering minds lose their hearts to the job, looking at the 5-digit salary that the company offers!! In a way its like a rat trap with the tempting cheese set to entice the rat !! But once it gets trapped , it gets into deep trouble! :D
I personally feel that I cant give my best unless and until I am happy doing what I am doing! Even though I have a very new and challenging task in front of me-a task that I am doing for the very first time, the confidence and the determination to get through the task, boosts me up, as long as I enjoy doing it!
I am into my final year now and Im at crossroads !! Oh wait, I think I've been here before- a couple of times!!! The only difference would be the number of roads that were/are in front of me!! I still am unclear of what I want in life, what is that one thing that I would die for, the one path that would take me to salvation! The hunt is still on!!
But, I'm enjoying each and every bit of this confusion and ambiguity! I feel that its much much better than rushing into things and regretting later on!! As of now, I would leave things to DESTINY, and just walk on a path in front of me-the contemporary one, the one with a lot of travelers already on it! But, I will never give up for sure- to find my true passion, my dream, my everything!! Once I discover it, I would nurture it, mould it and grow into it!!
Spark off a thought,
Think out of the box,
Experiment with the unfamiliar,
Start something NEW
And start with "YOU" !
ADIOZ! :)
