Hello!!
Well this being my first blog "excuse me" if I disappoint you (trust me, this would hold good even for my later blogs).
Just to brief about myself.... I was brought up in Lucknow, graduated in Allahabad and now working in Bangalore. I was never good at writing, neither my hand writing nor was I good in expressing my thoughts. Just an average student, somehow managed to be in the better half of the class. All my life I have been following the masses (however I have lots of my own...I am quite heavy). During my schooling "Boards exam" were the biggest thing. After lot of hard work, I somehow managed to get a decent percentage in 10th, but then suddenly came the realization of something bigger and better (I use 'better' because I could see large number of people running after it) the "IIT's". This realization might have been fruitful for those who cracked IIT, but people like 'me' landed up screwing up their 12th results and well IIT just remained a dream.
Life was good in school but the actual fun started in graduation. I had somehow managed to crack AIEEE and got into a NIT. The first three years were pure fun; late night cricket, table tennis, lawn tennis, Dance, tug-of-wars, kabbadi and last but not the least KAAFFI ZYADA community, using "Kaafi Zyada" before starting and ending a sentence. I remember a 'friend' once using the below sentence....
"Kaaffi zyada kum coldrink nahi pe rahe ho?" (I still dont know what it means)
It was for the first time when I took a step contrasting to my nature (of following the masses), I founded "ANTI KAAFFI ZYADA" group , but lack of supporters forced me back into the Kaaffi Zyada group.
Then came the Final year, it was the time when I had to decide which career to choose. Being a mechanical engineering student (Ya I know, people knowing me would like to correct me) to be precise I was a Production Engineering student, i had to choose between Core Companies and Software companies. Most of my peers were running behind the core jobs but this time again I somehow managed to take a contrasting step and landed up in a software Industry.
Looking back I feel, following my heart was much more rewarding than following the masses. I can say this because I am enjoying my current life style. But once again I see myself standing at a two way junction, where on one side are masses running after MBA's and MS and on the other are people like me, who are "CONFUSED".
