Lost Lives~

"So . Talk"
"Well , what are your career choices ? "
"Software field ofcourse , then maybe M tech and ofcourse I could just get married . I'm going to get my dad to marry me off to a gulf dude . Then I can work there . "

Well Rahi , best of luck for your plans to teach , get married and have a lot of great kids . Focus shifts now back to my career , for the first time after coming to college . What..? With everyone running about , buying books , attending talks , solving puzzles 24/7 , buying a tie then finding out they don't know to tie it and then running about trying to find someone who does . Well that reminds me that I have to learn to knot a tie and that too well .... ( Are ties costly?? )

So what is everyone so worried about suddenly amidst the fun and frolic of the leisurely paced college life? What could be so demanding as to break this spell ?

Well its season again for a little game of campus recruiting , and ofcourse , the guys are quite right to be worried . And to tell the truth , I am a little worried too . Well its mostly clearing up ( I think) . I have been asking everyone their opinions on the matter , whether to try stick to the civil field or go along with the flow into the IT field . Maybe I'm meant to go into the IT field . But its still troubling me , whether would this make me happy ? Would I be able to get the life I want ? I have confided in some of you about my vague and superficial dreams . So you may think its not worth taking that big a risk for . Who knows . Where do each of you see yourself 10 years from now . But you have probably already prepared some answer to that ( be a satified human being , be a fore runner in the company you are working for and ofcourse make tons of money) . But what if it were 20 years and you were told to take a minute and really think it out without the cliches ? Think of how you will look back at your life at the half way point in your life . Would you have done the 'something' you had always wanted to do . Were you as happy as you expected you to be when you were 20 (now , and btw figure that out now ) . Well its your life and its just beginning , and many things are yet to be figured out properly . Think hard and clear about it .. And ofcourse more importantly THINK ON YOUR OWN ABOUT IT . Lifes lost... and you lost with it...

its just a phase of college life.

once we all get placed in some sweatshop, we would go back to enjoying the last days of college. :-)

With the current boom, all Andan's and Adakodan's will get placed somewhere!
