expressions

Sunday, June 11, 2006


Hi
I'm back.
I'm no one wise to comment, but still the urge to express, say something that might one day be read by people thrills one.

I'm an introvert, always been shy, not smart dealing with people. I avoid the complicacies of life, taken life simply, enjoyed it to the best i could, have still got more to see what life has in store for me. Don't know why exactly I want to write a blog, just wanted to talk to someone like minded, cudn't find one so am writing in to myself maybe. I'm not crazy. I liked Cast Away of Tom Hanks, he talked to the ball, i'm writing in to myself, sort of diary entry, nah?... maybe !!

I'm studying currently and looking forward to my first job. I've had quite an adventerous academics. The fear of physics, the disgust of dissection, and the boredom of chemistry all inspired me to take up commerce ( economics, business studies, accountancy ) as my chosen stream for 10+2. hmm... I didnt like it too after being through high school. So again i decided to chang my stream... this time .... Mathematics.... wow. three years through with my bachelor's .... i'm again confused....

umm this happens with most of us... want to do something... drop a year sometimes for preparing for the entrances... don't get through.... then just grab any course and go on with it... or just instead of dropping a year pick up any course, just in case you dont make it..... and you "don't make it" to your favourite course in your dream institute and end up being stuck with doing something you never really had interest to do. This is the case in my country atleast ... can't comment on education in other countries. Here there is stiff competition right from admissions to the right institute to the right job. The youth here is so hard working ... in academics , has to be, for the marks , for the entrance exams, for the jobs, hmm the jobs... but what use are the top scores when sometimes you are rejected of being a top scorer, above average in studies. Companies normally don't hire such people who excel too much, coz they believe such candidates wont stay long, they learn fast and make quick progress and move on to the next firm. I'm saying so as I've seen such things happening to intelligent people sometimes... as soon as they show their curriculam vitae... the question popped is ... are you any rank holder?? and rejection follows....

so far so good.
hey i had again changed my stream after bachelors... i'm now simply put "jack of all trades, master of none"... ok this time I took computers for my masters.... MCA... masters in computer application. I've not been so good at it. But I do enjoy it. I had had always wanted to be an animator.... that's a dream... something i've never tried to bring to reality. So I'm content to be doing something with computing... i'm preparing myself for the Information Technology industry. And i do have a job at hand... through campus placement. So i'm carefree now... i know once i'm through with my masters... a job in the 3rd largest IT company in terms of revenues, of my country, awaits me :) Sad too coz my room mate who's above average... the kind of people i was talking about.... didn't make it to any company so far in the placements... when she's even much much intelligent than me, got much much better grades than me, it amuses me to think as to why she not placed, and i'm placed in her dream company!!

such is the irony of life. luck matters a lot.

for some
harwork = success

for others
luck = success

and for some others
hardwork + luck = success


success is an ongoing process; there is no one time success, you have to keep striving for it.

Preface


Well this is my first time at blogging. I've heard a lot about blogging... a way people have found to express themselves, share good information, inspire. I've yet to explore this vast ocean of blogs the blogging community has produced.

Myself, am a student of computer science. Just trying my hand at blogging. Don't know if my blogs are goin to be read by anyone except me... but its worth a try. I'm under the impression that in blogs one can write one's views... and that is pretty much what i'm goin to do. I wont comment on anyone but my self.... and my space.... what i see around.... Hope i keep my word.

here's wishing me a nice start to blogging. :)
