Irked by the cacophony of campus buzz words WIPRO, TCS, INFOSYS…. This session after placement waiting for the welcome call from the company to join is very placid and serene. The busy schedule of college bus timings, class works, exams and results is no more. Spending most of the time with parents, new releases, late night roaming, computer games, parties, and sports channels make the daily routine. This leisure reminds me of “An idle man’s mind is a devil’s workshop”. Anything not like devil and Devine, but an idle brain makes ourselves get rejuvenated and brings our hidden thoughts and interests into light as which I am doing now. Only when the mind is still and there is no anticipation creation comes. As long as you are looking forward to an experience, you are pursuing an achievement.
The city seems deserted of fresh and young graduates as they are wandering of obvious reasons. It is a many way junction after our engineering from which we can choose the best and appropriate option for our career. Either it is the critical CAT or the
Mighty MS or the glaring GATE or an IT MNC JOB……..sounds good and great. One of our professors used to say every time for any of these mentioned things preparation is crucial and he also adds
Preparation = purpose + planning +principle +practice +perseverance +patience +pride.
Most of them have already joined, many are in a vacation, and some are waiting for the call from the company and to my sorrow few are still searching and they were in a hunt.” A hunt for a purpose, A hunt for knowledge, A hunt for the stomach,
A hunt for a career and a hunt for a life”. At times my inner voices used to ask me “Had I become lonely and alone?”. With a bit of pain I answer by saying that my days were transformed from my long chats to limited, my friendly touches to mystic imaginations, my distant walks to a simple exercise, my longest rides to a few kilometers, my admission name into the alumina list and my text books to home decorators…………
A small sort of pain and unhappiness rouses in my humble heart after thinking all these things but it still could not prevent me from doing so. Mean while a phone call from a benevolent friend, SMS saying “I MISS U A LOT ” from a classmate, an E-MAIL from a much waited girl , a scrap from a community person , a post of the department group photo , a different news from the college ………makes things vivacious and lively and put me back into elegant engineering life.
