Inside Out

Well , how well do each of us think we know each other . We might make the common mistake of thinking that we know quite a lot about ourselves . We think we have ourselves figured out , after hours and hours of contemplation and self exploration , which has finally led us onto the misconclusion that we are basically all geniuses .

Then comes the difficult task of putting all that you know you are onto a two sheet pinned form of a curricum vitae or resume . You sit down in front of your PC or a piece of blank paper and start writing . Sure , name , address , phone number . You have got no problems there they are , perfectly written , in the precise format , aligned well to one side , looking all neat and tidy . So , now that the beginning came out so good , you tend to think that the rest would turn out to be a piece of cake . So Academics . Then it strikes you , how bad a measly 62 odd aggregagte marks looks on paper . Well what can you say , its college and you still could make the cut offs for the campuses . 10th and 12th were fine with marks in the mid 70's .

Well now you stop for a second and think . All that has been written are mandatory , and the interviewer would not even glance at it once . So now you have to write about something that will catch the attention of the interviewers and would turn out to my advantage . Lets blow them away with my variegated arsenal of proffessional software suites . Photosphop . Yeah , i have used it , but its like saying you have used Anakin Skywalker's Light sabre to open a bag of chips . But maybe i could even then impress them if they caught onto it . Operating Systems are fine too , since i have atleast once tried my hand at all windows versions and a couple of linux ones . Skills are a mess . What ever you are gonna write , they are going to kill you for it . So make your own life sentence as light as possible . Finally comes a section to give your interests and achievements , and thats when you realised you have never done anything in your life . And how can you write your main interest is in girls . lol . Well think hard on it ... me still am...

~when you are living lost lives , all this ceases to matter `
