I still can't believe am here after like an year, since my last "passionate" post. Perhaps I am more busy updating my life for the sake of my future that I began to lose interest in this venture of mine - an interest that started 4 years back. Good lord I still get carried away with emotions when I read my previous posts, the accounts that were written way back in 2008 upto 2011.
And these emotions are enough to push me into jotting down new posts (though this one took about an year).
For the ones who already know about the 'personal' aspect of my blog posts this post is surely going to add up more anxiety to your expectations; and for the first time visitors - go through it and change your status from "first time visitors" to "first time admirers" :-D
As my posts have always connoted - My parents and good old friends think of me as the brainy sorts; My ex thought of me as the perfect lover; My college friends think of me as the socially outgoing and friendly guy; My haters think of me as a straightforward attitude stricken guy with self centered motives; My professional associates (in college) think I am way too social and one of those known faces in college that I sometimes forget that there's a fine dividing line between 'seniors & juniors'; My teaching faculty thinks of me as just another 'engineering student with no interest in the things they teach'; My non-teaching faculty thinks of me as one of those responsible students who'll prove to be good managers in the near future; The corporate HRs think of me as the engineer with heavy "non technical" highlight in the CV......
And what do I think of myself - a farrago of the aforesaid qualities; to sum up in one line - A romanticist engineer by profession; a purely 'non tech' guy by passion; a socially outgoing guy who loves to make friends; a guy with the thirst to excel in life who has a bit of "bad luck" that closely follows him.
Life has once again come a long way after my previous post - the post that described a passionate lover's take of a stranger, who was enchanting enough to make the writer go wobbly in the knees. Well the story did begin between them two; but then all good things come to an end - and that's how it ended as well.
What after that ?! Well, the lover in me took a back step and it was the time for me to think about my future on a serious note. Now when it comes to "future", a technical career is the last think I ever think of.
But as the age old talisman says - the things for which you have the biggest aversion are the ones that will definitely show up in your life. That's what happened - got placed in 2 top "technical" organisations and secured my future 'at least'. With the hope of carving out a career in the non technical 'analysis' field, I spent around 4 months waiting for that one company that'll allow me to sit in their recruitment drive.
Bad luck followed - companies did visit my campus but my hale and hearty placement officer didn't allow us already placed engineers to sit in any of those non-tech companies.
Despair again. In my dire want for a non tech job, I kept on applying to different companies to no avail. I never gave up though but did feel a little broke. That's what life is all about - professional life or love life - the cadence of highs and lows is inevitable. Yes one thing's for sure - your efforts are going to pay back at some point of time or the other and a similar coincidental thing did happen with me.
It was during a workshop at my college that I met this guy Mr.X - the Founder/CEO of Company Y. In one of our interactions while dropping him back home, I just happened to take the name of Company Z in-front him expressing my desire to work in it.
And to my utter surprise the next thing he said, " Mail me your CV, I'll forward it to the VP Company Z. We both are good friends." This Company Z was the one for which I had been applying for the past half year - and here I was - if not a coincidence then what else could we call it.
An interview call was what followed; albeit the interview date is still a mystery; one thing is for sure - resilience, will power, a never give up attitude, the power to chase your dreams and coincidence; collectively augur a good fortune. Though the result might turn up at a later stage, life holds perfect plans for all of us. Anyone and everyone will meet the creator in disguise someday. Until then - keep those hopes alive, work towards your goal - despair is always closely followed by triumph !
PS : I feel the urge to thank this person 'X' for his continuing concern, and this person 'A' who has witnessed my life - the highs and lows ever since the past one year. God bless them both.
