Life so far..

It's never easy..Isn't it? We always think we need to explore life as much as we can..But as we cross our teenage, we realize that its life that explores us..because Its life that gives us those tricky situations, those tough-to-cross barriers, and also those unpredictable moments..and expects us to overcome them..

This being my first 'ever' blog.. I would like to introduce myself ..(yes I know am dreaming that my blogs would be read regularly)
Like most boys in this world, I am a 'confused' person..And like most of the engineering graduates, I am a 'jobless' person (jobless in any sense) at present..Not only regretting why i chose engineering.. But also regretting why i chose the so-called-first group, the SCIENCE group, at the higher secondary level..But wait..unemployment(in my words..unsatisfactory employment) is the only reason why i regret my choice..In return what i got was a gang of fun-loving, helping and caring friends..(Oh yes..one can get them anywhere..but some kameenays always need a mention..else am sure am losing out on few likes :p)
My journey actually started when I left one jain school and joined another..though i failed in my entrance test by a huge margin..like the margin of an India vs Zimbabwe cricket match ..Still I got the seat..of course by recommendation..(This is India boss..You can fail and still get what you want)
Here came my first challenge..coping up with new people..shifting from tamil-speaking friends to hindi speaking ones..(No..am not anti-tamil..don't ban me please :p)And yes..learning and understanding ENGLISH..(in which i was a zero then..)But I managed that..
I had many dreams..1. A typical indian childhood dream- to be a cricketer..(a dream that always remains a dream or a fantasy for that matter..for most..), 2. A typical marwadi dream- to be rich..and 3. a real dream - to be a journalist or a news anchor..hold the mike..and question the best in this country..(Yes this is the only way you can QUESTION top personalities in this country..else you just can't..)Dream 3 slowly became important for me..and I thought of going for it when I completed my tenth..I thought I will take commerce..do it easily..and go for a mass media course..But wait..the tenth results dropped a bomb shell..No..i didn't fail.. I got good marks..296/300 in science.. that made not only others force me take science..but became a reason for my dwindling fortunes there after..I chose biology over computer science..because I was a zero in comp science too..Probably this was a small complementary error in the big mistake that I made..Bio was never going to help me as a career option because you need 'some' lakhs to pursue medical studies in this country..unless you are a great student..I completed my twelfth standard after a health trouble..I won hearts along the journey(a best student award..a good guy image..and a trophy for culturals..trust me..the third one was most important to me..leading a group to victory)
Then came the most important phase..The second challenge..College..I could have chosen Mass media here again..But The popularity of engineering during this time was sky-high..I succumbed to this and applied at another jain institution..along with my friends..I wanted electronics because that was most sought after course that time..Yes..I was foolish to have thought this way..But then..Life is like this..It makes you look foolish today though you took those decisions yesterday..This time though..Recommendation didn't work..and I got civil engineering..
After a tough first year (with no school mate with me in my class,it was depressing)..A rather boring second year..an eventful third year.. and a shockingly unpredictable final year(a case of medical negligence), I completed my engineering..Not to forget..My College managed to provide me placement in a multi national company..the only MNC that came to our college that year(actually every year) ..But the only problem was that it is an IT company..
So after college..I tried for a civil engineering job..which I got..Oh yes..again in a jain institution..and yes..again by recommendation..which I left in four days..And now with no other option..am eyeing the big IT company with no knowledge in that stream (this is why i felt choosing bio over comp was an error..)Am going to join it..not to make a career..but to earn some money..because today that's what matters to do anything of your choice..I am surely going to have a crack at my 'media' dream some time in my life.This blog is one such step towards my dream..( I have now acted in a short movie for my friend..have written articles too..)
Its strange that though I was recommended at most places..I am not happy..Simply because..I didn't follow my dream..I don't know how many of you would relate to me..But I guess..All of you will agree with me in saying..
